Grace Park & Tahmoh Penikett Get Rushed Through Today
Grace Park and Tahmoh Penikett appeared on Today yesterday morning to promote Battlestar Galactica in an interview that was much too short to be effective.
The fault was not with Grace and Tahmoh, who looked great and were charming and pleasant under the circumstances. Instead, the fault was with Meredith Viera, who was not properly prepared for the interview and seemed confused about whether she should talk about the actors, the show, or the fans, and as a result they did none of the above very well.
It opens with the amazing scene where Helo has to kill his wife so that she can rescue their child, the first Cylon-human hybrid. It’s a great scene and could have been the perfect springboard for Grace, Tahmoh, and Meredith to talk about how this show is so much more than “sci-fi” and is better viewed as a honest and tragic look at human beings and families, a show that could easily recruit new viewers if they would just give it a chance.
