"Battlestar Galactica" cast member Kate Vernon says she gets a strange feeling as she watches the final episodes of the popular Sci-Fi Network series tick off.

She plays Ellen Tigh, a recurring character who was killed in season three but returned for this season to be revealed as the fifth Cylon, which for the fans was a huge twist.

"Over the years, they would call me, I called them, and I'd go shoot all of these episodes, and now it's over," Vernon told the Daily News. "There's sort of a ghost memory - my phone should ring and I should be going back."

But she's not, nor is anyone else on the show.

The visitors are back. ABC has officially greenlit a pilot for its reworking of "V," the 1980s miniseries about alien lizards coming down to Earth (Daily Variety, Oct. 10).

New adaptation of the franchise was written by "The 4400" co-creator/exec producer Scott Peters. Peters is aboard to exec produce along with HDFilms principal Jason Hall. Warner Bros. TV, which was behind the original longform, is producing.

Like a veteran of the witness protection program, actress Kate Vernon picked a secluded corner table of a very public restaurant for the meeting. She studied the tape recorder sitting next to her teacup on the table and then glanced around the Studio City bistro to see if anyone was eavesdropping. "Forgive me if I'm a little awkward talking about it," Vernon said during an interview earlier this week. "It's been two years that I've been sitting on this secret, and after that long it's kind of hard to just start talking . . . "
