Granted, I don’t know if the girls of Battlestar Galactica had done this earlier in the show’s TV life if it would have saved the show from being canceled by the Sci Fi Channel, but it sure would have been nice to find out. Am I right or am I right? Anyways, Katee Sackhoff, Tricia Helfer, and Grace Park, who have all been with the show since the very beginning (from the mini-series on, in fact), and will probably all show up in any BSG movies that gets made long after the show is canceled, are all currently in the most current issue of Interview Magazine. I’m really not sure what the biker get-ups are about, but wow, Ron Moore sure knew how to cast them, huh?
The Sci Fi Channel’s Battlestar Galactica prequel series Caprica keeps on rolling, with more casting news. The latest addition to the show is Polly Walker, who has joined the show’s two-hour premiere as Sister Clarice Willow, whose character is described as “the gracious, eloquent and duplicitous high priestess and headmistress of the Athena Academy, a private religious school.” Yup, sounds like Ron Moore, alright.
The show may be heading towards the home stretch of its fourth and final season on the Sci Fi Channel, but that doesn’t mean The Powers That Be have completely let go of Ron Moore’s Battlestar Galactica. It seems that rumors are indicating not one, or two, but three original Battlestar Galactica movies are being considered. As with the last and only BSG movie so far, “Razor”, these movies would likely go straight to DVD as well.
Wow, check out this video interview over at Entertainment Weekly with Katee Sackhoff, who plays Starbuck on the Sci Fi Channel’s uber depressing Battlestar Galactica. Now I’ve always found Sackhoff’s Starbuck to be very cool and hot in a bad girl sort of way, but I never really thought of her in the glamour model mode. That is, until this photoshoot for EW. The interview itself is about BSG, but she doesn’t really reveal much. Until EW actually releases those pictures they’re snapping of her, here’s what I could grab from the screen.
A reader sent me the link to this video clip of the cast of Battlestar Galactica doing the Top 10 on David Letterman’s TV show on Wednesday, last night. It’s, uh, it’s pretty painful to watch. First of all, I don’t think Letterman has even heard of Battlestar Galactica, and why in the world they made the cast show up in character — well, okay, I can sort of understand that. But wow, there were some clunkers on the list. Okay, the Number Six one (”There’s a chance you’ll see me naked”) followed by Tigh (”There’s a chance you’ll see me naked”) was pretty funny, but the rest — wow, try not to cringe. 
The Sci Fi Channel has officially announced that it has greenlit a two-hour pilot for a possible Battlestar Galactica prequel TV series, to be called Caprica. (I’m just guessing, but they’ll probably back on the BSG name somewhere in the title later.) Caprica will be introduced to the public as a two-hour TV movie, that will also act as a backdoor pilot. If you don’t know what a “backdoor pilot” is, it’s pretty simple: if the movie does well, a series will be commissioned. If not, then they’ll cut their losses with a two-hour movie, without the expense of hiring cast/crew for a series.
Who didn’t sit up and take notice when Grace Park guest-starred on Stargate SG:1 as the very hot Asian girl who had a thing for Daniel Jackson? Then she parlayed that into a major role on the newly minted Battlestar Galactica, which gave her enough street cred to do voice work on games like Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Currently, you can catch Grace on BSG, which enters its final fourth season next month. Here’s our Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight on Grace Park, who, at 5′9″, is probably the tallest Korean woman I’ve ever seen, on film or off.
The Sci Fi Channel’s most critically acclaimed show (quite possibly of all time), Battlestar Galactica returns for its fourth and final season April 4, 2008, but you can check out promo images from the upcoming season below now. Hey, why wait? The Cylons wouldn’t wait. We also have the titles for the first ten episodes of Season 4.
I have to admit that when I first saw Katee Sackhoff on Battlestar Galactica, I didn’t exactly fell in love. In fact, I kinda of loathe her character. But slowly but surely (about the third episode), Katee Sackhoff and Starbuck grew on me, until she was the best thing about the show. She translated that likability to The Bionic Woman, where even playing a bad girl, she was still the best thing about that short-lived TV show. Here is our spotlight on Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff, the ass-kickingest chick on sci-fi.
Tricia Helfer hasn’t quite become a bona fide sci-fi babe, but what the hey, she’s one of the stars of, probably the most high-profile sci-fi show on TV at the moment, Battlestar Galactica. Tell me that show would work better without Tricia Helfer’s uber sexy Number Six. You know what would have added to Tricia’s sci-fi bonafides? If her show Them, a sci-fi/aliens invasion show, had gotten on the air. But oh well. BSG alone more than qualifies.
