A Conversation with Katee Sackhoff & Nicki Clyne
February 5th, 2010 • By Krista :: Misc, News & Gossip
A new interview from Fulle Circle Magazine
Holy frak! An interview with Cally Henderson Tyrol and Lieutenant Kara Thrace! Who would have thought that Ron Moore and David Eick’s re-imagining of Glen A. Larson’s 1978 television series Battlestar Galactica would garner such a wide range of critical acclaim? From the Peabody Award to the Television Critics Association’s Program of the Year Award, to Emmy nominations for its writing and directing, Battlestar Galactica has changed the way science fiction is perceived. Katee Sackhoff and Nicki Clyne reflect on the production of that series in the following Fulle Circle exclusive interview, and also discuss a few of the stories and inspirations that got them there.

Why Katee Sackhoff Doesn’t Google
January 21st, 2010 • By Krista :: Misc, News & Gossip
From GeekSugar.com. Thanks to Kristy for emailing this to us.
While at the TCAs last week in LA, BuzzSugar got some one-on-one time with my favorite BSG alum, Katee Sackhoff, who’s settling into her new role on Fox’s 24. Although we’re used to seeing Kara Thrace bust some heads on the small screen (and it doesn’t seem that there’ll be any shortage of drama in her new role), the real Katee has a vulnerable side which keeps her from pointing her browser to Google to see what fans are saying about her. It’s really quite sad, and kind of intense! When asked if she likes to keep up with her fans online, she said:
| I learned a long time ago not to go online when a guy said I was so ugly it looked like I fell out of the ugly tree, hit every branch on the way down, fell on my fat ass, crawled back up, fell down again, and landed on my ugly face. I learned at that moment you can never make everyone happy and that it’s better just to avoid it. What the Internet has provided is this wealth of information and knowledge, but I think it’s also allowed people to be critics without having to step up. And the reason I remember that is because it was so painstakingly written to be cruel. And it’s amazing to me the things that people say online. I would never say something like that about a person. It’s hurtful. And so I learned a long time ago just to avoid the Internet like the plague. |
Yeesh! I for one think she’s gorgeous, and unfortunately her experience isn’t unique. No wonder she doesn’t Google . . .

Katee Sackhoff Pens Comic Book Series
December 11th, 2009 • By Krista :: Misc, News & Gossip
From TvGuide:
When it comes to keeping secrets, Katee Sackhoff has become a real pro, having safely zipped her lips when it comes to plot spoilers (“After Battlestar Galactica, I’m sooo good at it,” she says proudly). But even now that’s she’s got a super-classified role on the new season of 24, she couldn’t resist giving a teeny, tiny tease to TV Guide Magazine, and she spilled news that she’ll be penning her own comic book series.
When it comes to what she’s enjoyed about her role as Dana Walsh, a CTU agent who may be hiding her own big secret, she says “This is kind of a spoiler but I like when things get physical – and not in a sexual way.”
That’s about all she’s willing to give up – including whether or not the producers asked her to maintain a certain level of physical fitness for the role. “That’s just a prerequisite of my own!” she laughed. “I feel like if I didn’t work out, my ass would be the size of Texas.” She’s playing her character’s cards close to vest. “Everyone keeps asking me and I’m like, ‘Of course I can’t say anything!’”

Katee Sackhoff spills on 24
November 22nd, 2009 • By Krista :: News & Gossip
From SciFi Wire
Katee Sackhoff spills on 24—and talks Starbuck’s fate
The following takes place between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m.
The newly re-formed Counter Terrorist Unit: New York branch is hidden in a Chatsworth, Calif., soundstage. As we prepared to infiltrate the set (see images below), techie extraordinaire Chloe literally provided decoy cover. Actress Mary Lynn Rasjkub got a makeup touchup outside, so we slipped into the studio while crew were focused on the pretty actress.
The hand scanner in the lobby accepted our prints for entry. Our plan to hack into the system to authorize our DNA for access worked, or maybe the hand scanner was just a prop. Either way, we were in. Through the bullpen of monitors capturing video feeds from high-population areas around town, past the medical bay where a monitor showed a flat line (someone dies this season!), we cornered new cast member Katee Sackhoff in the underground car park.
Sackhoff joins the cast of Fox’s sci-fi-ish spy series 24 this year and spoke with a group of reporters on the set. Her CTU training proved strong against interrogation tactics, but as 24 proves, repeated badgering and torture works. Here are seven pieces of intel she gave up. 24 returns this January on Fox.

First look: ‘Big Bang’ creator finally gets his ‘Battle’ star
By Jayme Deerwester, USA TODAY
It’s every nerd-boy’s dream: bubble bath, a bottle and Starbuck.The Nov. 23 episode of The Big Bang Theory (CBS, Mondays, 9:30 ET/PT) features the diminutive and delusional Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) sharing a toast in the tub with Katee Sackhoff, who is best known as Capt. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace on Syfy series Battlestar Galactica.
Her appearance is the latest of several geek-fantasy guests on Big Bang, whose ratings are up more than 40% in Season 3. The comedy draws nearly 14 million viewers an episode and is a top series among young adults.
The guest shot comes after a year’s worth of lobbying by co-creator and Battlestar fan Chuck Lorre, who originally envisioned her as the object of fanboy desire in last season’s “The Terminator Decoupling.” Sackhoff passed, and The Sarah Connor Chronicles‘ Summer Glau stepped in as the sci-fi starlet trapped on a train as Wolowitz and his friends try to woo her.
