Our annual Sci-Fi Hotties gallery honors a tradition of gorgeous genre gals that stretches back from the supermodel multiples of Battlestar Galactica through Princess Leia’s golden bikini all the way to the dawn of cinema, when Georges Méliès wisely opted to dress a bunch of girls in sailor outfits in A Trip to the Moon. This year, in a close race that included ageless genre vet Milla Jovovich and Tron Legacy‘s robo-vamp Olivia Wilde, readers crowned an unexpected victor: Alessandra Torresani of Caprica seized a thwomping lead. (A little bit of campaigning on Twitter always helps, of course: hope you’re taking notes, Cotillard!) EW talked to the star about the joys of being a geek goddess, the eternal lure of Twitter, and (fingers crossed!) the possibility of a second season for Caprica. (Mild spoilers ahead.)

Syfy has just announced that the second half of Caprica’s freshman season will return in January 2011. Syfy will be premiering an all-new trailer premiering during Caprica’s Comic-Con panel this Friday in San Diego. The series stars Eric Stoltz (Daniel Graystone), Paula Malcomson (Amanda Graystone), Esai Morales (Joseph Adama), Polly Walker (Sister Clarice Willow), Alessandra Torresani (Zoe Graystone), Magda Apanowicz (Lacy) and Sasha Roiz (Sam Adama).

While the exact date remains a mystery, fans will begin to speculate on the future of Zoe Graystone after her infamous truck heist.

The Queen of Comic Con is in the room! Here are the LA Times interviews with our lovely Cylon Mamma.

Welcome to Astonishing Alessandra, your newest resource for the Comic Con Queen, Alessandra Torresani! By no means is the site finished yet but I want to get cracking on Ale’s comic con day’s and will be keeping you updated as she moves along!

Mamma hit two events yesterday, the Marvel vs Capcom 3 Comic-Con Party and the “GPhoria Strikes Back” Comic Con Party Hosted By G4 and LUCASFILM and we’ve got the photos!

She was tweeting away photos from her first day at #SDCC and we’ve got all of them up to right before the panel in the gallery. Ale has most totally been tweeting away since I last checked so I know I’ve got more twitter photos to add in the morning. Wearing off my following her antics at the panel and watching Inception, both which blew my mind.
