Battlestar Galactica Notes for April 8, 2008

Jamie Bamber in Suit Salute on Galactica Flight Deck

Katee Sackhoff Starbuck Callum Keith Rennie Leoban Battlestar Galactica

Katee Sackhoff reveals to Televisionary that she thinks Starbuck’s soul mate is a Cylon:  “If there was anyone she’d be happy with, it’d probably be Leoben,” she admits. “Anders is too weak for her emotionally. Lee’s too much of a boy scout; he makes her feel guilty for her anger and her faults just by being who he is. If there’s ever any person she can let her guard down with, and be happy with, probably Leoben.”  Check out more great revelations from Starbuck in the site’s great Katee interview.

Speaking of great interviews, if you have not read the interview with Jamie Bamber over on TVAddict.com yet then you are missing a treat.  Jamie talks about how the relationship between Apollo and Starbuck is “incestuous” and reveals his dark hope for Battlestar Galactica’s pop culture legacy:  “On a psychological level, I hope [Lee] sort of finds self-knowledge and on a show level, I just hope we really scare the hell out of the world. I think, really scare the audience and the wider public to realizing how destructive our progress is. This idea that we have of growth and economic growth and technological progress is not the path to be taken, it’s the path to destruction, and I hope Ron delivers that.”

Tahmoh Penkitt Battlestar Galactica Dollhouse Joss Whedon

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram had an interesting description of the final four Cylons that compares them to a famous candy item:  “Not only had Starbuck supposedly found the mythical planet that the ragtag remnants of the human race had been on a death-march across the universe to find, but — unknown to anyone — four of her colleagues turned out to be the genetic equivalent of a peanut-butter cup: heroic human on the outside, shady alien cylon on the inside.”

Tahmoh Penikett talked about how excited he is to be part of Joss Whedon’s new show, Dollhouse.  In other Dollhouse news, Tahmoh’s nemesis on the show will be Olivia Williams — the actress who is best known for playing Bruce Willis’ hauntingly beautiful wife in The Sixth Sense.

    “…technological progress is not the path to be taken, it’s the path to destruction..”
    I agree, but it’s probably something meant to happen to the human race, they depend on destruction to bring change. there are also many stupid humans . this advancement with technology has potential to bring peace. But can also be used for the wrong things. BSG’s Cylon race wants peace and god, and killing the humans ,because humans are too flawed to be left on their own, would seem like a righteous fix. Humans allow their evils to be born, and nothing to change for the better.Money is an ancient problem.
