Tricia Helfer, who played a humanoid robot Cylon on "Battlestar Galactica," says the show's look at the conflict between humans and AI still resonates today. "We did warn against AI while we were shooting it," Helfer told Fox News Digital at the Beverly Hills Film Festival this week. She continued, "It was 20 years ago, and I've recently re-watched it and went, 'Oh my gosh, it's even more relevant now.' So I think we just really need to be careful. It's a slippery slope between using it to our advantage and having it maybe be able to control us a little bit." "I think we're a little bit far off from the humanoid Cylons yet and humanoid robots, but I don't know, they're coming," Helfer added.

Mammals including humans are more likely to suffer from short-term memory loss during the winter, a new study suggests. Experts at the University of Bradford looked at how rats performed in memory tests when exposed to long and short'photoperiods', or periods of exposure to light. They found a'significant' link between poor memory and short day length, akin to what humans experience during the winter season. It's possible that the results could be applicable to humans, the team say, suggesting we're more prone to forgetfulness during long winters. Short-term memory loss refers to forgetting things that occurred recently, such as conversations or events.

For die-hard fans of the Syfy drama "Battlestar Galactica," the closing night reunion panel at the ATX Television Festival was a treat-filled trip down memory lane. Seven key cast members -- Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama), Mary McDonnell (President Laura Roslin), Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck), James Callis (Gaius Baltar), Tricia Helfer (Number Six), Grace Park (Boomer/Number Eight) and Michael Trucco (Sam Anders) -- and executive producer Ronald D. Moore came together to celebrate the groundbreaking series that was as much post-9/11 allegory as it was grand space adventure. The "BSG" gang still clearly enjoy each other's company and had both the audience and each other cracking up throughout the nearly two-hour Q&A session at Austin's Paramount Theatre. From awkward sex scenes (Callis and Helfer) to uncontrollable giggles (McDonnell and Sackhoff) to Olmos's Adama-like leadership qualities, the cast mates and Moore fondly recalled funny and touching moments from their time on the series, which ran from 2004 to 2009. Callis recalled a scene in which he fell and hit his head requiring a trip to an emergency room.
