C2E2 - Mary McDonnell and Edward James Olmos Battlestar Galactica Panel

Mary McDonnell and Edward James Olmos at C2E2 in Chicago, March 19, 2016.

I just want to see these two in a sitcom where they're an old married couple who run a flower shop or something. James Callis as the nosy neighbor.

[@OrdinaryVisionaries]

I just watched this the night I finished watching the series. Very emotional to witness these two very authentic people share their very big hearts.

[@tanakattack5965]

Fucken awesome how Edward Olmos still uses the same glasses as he wore as Adama to this day.

[@kristianpeterson2571]

One of my biggest regrets as an actor, is that I did not shell out the cash to take pics with Mr. Olmos. This show has had a profound effect on me. I rewatch it once or twice a year. I dream of being a part of something that is so special, and so loved.

[@tengkoonlim8587]

I Would pay real money to watch this cast from BSG act together again...relive Galactica once more i say!!!

[@johnmcternan4157]

I thought he was going to talk about the mini series that he had planned roughly in his head (idea which is clearly long dead): where Tigh in Tanzania walks up the hill to the cabin that he (Adama) has built and says "We have a problem"

[@tamiekaalexander7446]

Lol Mary said I'm really losing my shit up here

[@talia1612]

Commander and President.

[@sandralundgren8066]

Mary, I hope you remember me from Cayuga Lake. It's a great to see these interviews. It gives such insight into your characters. Sally Sumner played Olivia CD for me while I was visiting them and I was absolutely amazed! I am now listening to her music when I'm in the car.

[@spacechimp5141]

I choose her over trump Everytime.

[@tamiekaalexander7446]

Me too

[@TheIrishRushin]

More hollywood actors as president. Fantastic.

[@reginabachman7288]

I thought that part, you did when you feel apart, painting the bathroom and crying was one of the best parts you did in, Battlestar Galactica.

[@flaksoft8003]

that and the " sit down cylon " part with Saul. Those were acting.

[@BabiBGodoi]

Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rorrante]

Great video, Thx for posting. Boy, Mary got into politics fast there, lol. Some of the questions were on the dark side, then that damn nerd had to ask about Wars/Trek. Awesome show, love these actors.

[@reginabachman7288]

I Love Both of you Great actors. I was excited to see the knew Battlestar Galactica!!!! I alive it and you guys, and the other actors Soo much, I lost count how many times, I have watched it. I have to say, I didn't recognize you Mr. Almos in Blade Runner!!!! I Love all your movie's. Sorry I missed this chance to see you both, in person. I was going through bone cancer, and almost lost my left Tibia, but I did not. I hope and pray you can do more of Battlestar Galactica!!!!!

[@reginabachman7288]

I appreciate how they had the original, Apollo in the new. I used to watch the original one.

[@nancykeocongsa6095]

I hope marry and ed work together again

[@michellegriffin1749]

I was at that panel. It was amazing!

[@jonathankovacs1809]

This is why sifi matters! Yes a lot of garbage in Sci Fi but then there's Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek have some great episodes that are nothing less than brilliant! I will admit my favorite scenes in Star Wars is at the end of return of Jedi when luke is spending the last moments with Anakin Skywalker Luke saying I have got to save you and Anakin Skywalker /Darth Vader says you already have luke you were right about me tell your sister you were right.. then he dies.. After my father died it is all the more powerful to me. The episode the Inner light ST-TNG was very emotional. "I was flying a museum for god sake! Edward James Olmos

[@nancykeocongsa6095]

Ed and mary are so good playing bad

[@duelroadknight737]

A few years late watching this,what was the name of the books you were both reading.I prefer reading true stories. 🙂🙂🙂

[@nancykeocongsa6095]

And love you guys too❤️❤️

[@reginabachman7288]

I am in Love with you James, do you have a Fan page??? And if not you should, please, start one, you are Soo handsome to me inside and out❤️💋

[@nancykeovongsa7818]

They are power couple

[@ManyvanhKeovongsa]

I wonder what it would be like if Laure didn't have cancer

[@tamadeus7189]

Priceless! Speaking of props, I'd love to have a blank (journal) book replica of Searider Falcon

[@brendaklassen1180]

Great people

[@SeArCh4DrEaMz]

BSG was just so fuckin epic, the actors were so fuckin talented(exept perhaps jamie bamber)

[@Hammern28]

Grew up with SW, ST and many other bits, but I have to admit, BSG was nothing short of brilliant. So perfectly made and executed.

[@reginabachman7288]

So day we all💕

[@reginabachman7288]

Ohh I from Oak Lawn I'll also!!

[@ManyvanhKeovongsa]

Vote for Mary

[@eddiek8179]

Olmos should have been Thrawn although I'm glad he didn't do it. HIs Sci Fi record is still intact.

[@Subzeppelin1]

Why would you bring up trump? Why the frack, would you bring him up at a BSG panel?

[@eddiek8179]

Why not? She played a fake president and so was Trump.

[@kpag3030]

Say Donald trump again. No really. It’s cool. I don’t want to listen to 2 of my favorite actors/characters from one of my favorite series.

[@pw6023]

Been listening to the Galacticast podcast and and watching Comicons about BSG. It's really getting annoying that as a major BSG fan for all my life the actors can't keep their political views out of any commentary. We don't care what your politics are....you're paid to entertain. Not to preach.

[@TheIrishAmish]

I don’t want to know an actors political views. Play pretend for the audience and leave running the country to the grownups.

[@felixchoi7397]

Was she born a woman?

[@morganlouisehenderson9901]

Yes

[@restlessbohemian26]

Too political - boo!

[@Claude-Eckel]

Then you haven't the slightest understanding of the entire series. You, watching BG, was like casting pearls before swine. Go, and watch something else. Marvel's ... yadda, yadda, yadda or horseshit like that. That's for the peabrains. They had been invited even at a UN conference panel with this show answering questions of the audience there and commenting on several sequences of the series, because BG *is* indeed political by constantly addressing problems which mankind is facing nowadays. Not tomorrow. And it's a warning what's going to happen if we don't change our thinking about ourselves and the world we live in. That's not sci-fi but in fact about the here and now, plus some special effects. Wars between _'races'_ , different cultures, self-destruction, desperate suicide-bombers due to the loss of all hope, losing this planet and so on and so forth ... but I assume you totally missed out on all that.

[@abandonedfragmentofhope5415]

Politics was a major part of BSG. It's a Political drama. Along with being Sci-fi.

[@tamiekaalexander7446]

Yeah nobody asked for your opinion jackass and Mary and James are total badasses oh and you are just a piece of shit hahahaha

[@JuricksEnterprise]

It's a shame you petty little Lefties have to make your Trump jokes, maybe more people would take you serious enough to finish watching your videos!!! #LET'SGOBRANDON, #FJB!!!

[@eddiek8179]

Cope harder.
