Battlestar Galactica - Katee Sackhoff on Starbuck

[@frankalfisi1972]

She is so pretty...seems like a great personality also. Kara Thrace is my favorite character of all-time.

[@EmBennet99]

Yeah, and when she was cast there was a lot of backlash about it even though her version of Starbuck turned out to be one of the greatest characters on television.

[@ohioexpax1592]

The backlash was from dummies like me: "What? Starbuck a GIRL? I'm not gonna watch it!" I finally watched it. I've been madly in love with Katee since then.

[@macmcleod1188]

She did a good job with it and Starbuck wasn't inherently a male character.

[@jenshep1720]

@@ohioexpax1592 props to you for admitting it. a lot of other people turn into toxic neckbeards who obsess over stuff like this for years and annoy everyone who will listen about how feminists are shoving their agenda down their throat...

[@christiansoldier1968]

watched the original when I was a 10 year old. Had my reservations about both Starbuck and Boomer transitioning to female, but somewhere around the second, "whadaya hear", "nothing but the rain" during the Battle of Ragnar stations, Sackhoff had me. Everything she did with the role afterwards only made the role more her own. I loved Dirk Benedict, but I will always prefer Sackhoff's version.

[@kevinh891]

Same here. She owned it...

[@Phil_AKA_ThundyUK]

Thing is it didn't used to matter if a gender got changed if it was awesome. Nowadays it's just for tokenism or virtue signalling. When BSG rebooted Starbuck as a girl I didn't give it a second thought.

[@SomeoneIsAlwaysMovingOnTheSurf]

I honestly did not realize Bo-Katan was her until now...Now I want her to have her own show.

[@JacquesKinnaerCello]

Grew up with the old Battlestar series, and as far as I am concerned, there is only one Starbuck! Katee Sackhoff's! :-)

[@tehoken]

wow.... I always forget how hot Katee Sackhoff is... God I miss BSG.... Katee was OUTSTANDING as Starbuck, and it's only when you see her talking as Katee that you realise just how awesome she is, when you realise that's she's playing someone so unlike her real self... but is still just SO believeable..... and hot... god I miss that show :(

[@dirf554]

feel ashamed for not seeing this sooner but she looks amazing an so beautiful. I loved her role

[@ohioexpax1592]

I feel the same. First time in my life I developed a crush on a celeb. Katee blew me away. She continues to blow me away.

[@julianp2283]

That's a funny story, I've watched this video countless times and it still makes me smile.

[@MFM230]

Starbuck was so Katee Sackhoff's role. When I first saw the first episode, I thought she must be a lesbian in real life ,but no. After seeing her in interviews, she is quite feminine. What a great actress.

[@BLEACH01Z]

I enjoy her real personality fairly well, but I agree that its her skill as a wonderful actress to make characters on a script have so much depth and personality, and she surely doesn't have a long great career ahead, which I think shes doing good on her part right now. Have you seen this show called ''Longmire''. Its a great new show starring as the secondary main character. You should really check it out, season 2 starts up early next year

[@sallysue8176]

Longmire traumatized me. I watched it and her and the sheriff relationship reminded me of me and my dad. I always saw them as father daughter…… Well in the end they have sex. Obviously not what thought would happen. It disturbed me

[@Sonneilon6]

i love the fact that katee can do a range of emotions. So many tv shows are so... cardboard-ish with their characters. Take NCIS : LA or many others. I just love the new BSG. Great cast. great dichotmy. I'd take her in a second.

[@starbuckapollo4208]

Love her to bits

[@Tonystarkes888]

Katee Sackhoff played a much better starbuck than other one else ever before. hope she gets more roles in movies.

[@Kamandi1971]

those are fighting words to Dirk Benedict fans uff

[@JoeHooker11]

I watched both the original and new BSG at the same time and I must say it's cool how her Starbuck and the original Starbuck are almost exactly the same (expect for the obvious gender differances).

[@Eric-777]

Had to go back and reminisce... you are great in interviews.. Great Energy!Awesome then, More Awesome now!

[@PaulCooper-b7v]

Kara Thrace is my all time hero!❤

[@mpfan85]

Katee is so awesome! That was very funny. lol Thanks for posting it. :)

[@TheGoldcountry]

That's very funny- kudos to her dad for not spoiling the joke- she didn't even know she was taking over a man's part.

[@judithk]

"Where's Starbuck?" That was priceless XD

[@ruggedindividual]

The article of which you speak is well-written and very accurate. I read it and didn't detect ANY bitterness. It's creative, articulate, and quite correct regarding the points he makes. I like the new series and plan to watch every episode. That is a compliment in itself, as I liked the original series and understand the disappointment many feel regarding the changes in gender and the blurring of the lines between good and evil.

[@GRDwashere]

Sackhoff's Starbuck is and always will be my spirit animal.

[@UndecidedFan]

I have always found that pouring another glass of wine always helps.

[@mdgarciab]

I love katee to the moon. She is so smart and so funny. And just totally real. I neededa job and wanted to shoot a gun. Lol

[@merkury06]

All natural.

[@paulcollins4932]

Best Starbuck. For me, also one of the best sci fi series of all time

[@dq1275]

She really reprised Sheba, not Starbuck from the old series. Great way for the producers to generate buzz by comparing her to Dirk Benedict. Not so much buzz comparing her to Anne Lockhart.

[@RomanticShortOne591]

Hilarious! Thanks for putting it up!

[@stevedandy973]

Katee made a GREAT Starbuck.

[@traceroutex]

this made me laugh, she's so funny =)

[@itsallspent]

I just finished a 4 day marathon of watching the series. I began to think about the all the booze and death on the show and came up with a guess of how much was drunk ( or dranked) More than i could ever afford. And by my calculations only 13 people survived. any who I liked it better than Starwars or lord of the rings . Of all the characters Starbucks intrigued me the most . I believe a movie about the Starbuck character in in order

[@NoorhakimMohamedNoor]

Damn, never thought that her baby face was quite visible. #bokatan ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Zerrotox]

she was so gorgeous back then wow

[@samsoncrosswood7259]

And I like her even more now.

I had thought that Babylon 5 was the best scifi series ever until I saw this.

[@jamieshelley6079]

[@THERAPTURECOMES]

The original series of Battlestar Galactica was written by a mormon and if you look at the spirituality of the new show it is hard to miss.

[@dantasticmania8728]

Interesting,I didn't know that?

[@Kamandi1971]

@@dantasticmania8728 yes Glen Larson was a mormon hence why the orginal is superior a very differenr show then the 2004 ron moore version

[@Phil_AKA_ThundyUK]

Great interview. Back in the day when no one minded if you re-cast a character's sex as long as they were awesome unlike now where you rec-cast a character's sex to virtue signal.

[@frankalfisi1972]

For those who don't understand what she was talking about...the original "StarBuck" was a male character. The new BSG casted a tough female for the role of "StarBuck". She is so cute and seems tough in real life.

[@captaincmorgan]

[@moeshickenyay]

Is she still working?

[@MrGenexxx]

Bo-Kataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

[@konnosho]

thats exactly what I've been thinking, but I'm wondering maybe its because they've heard these anecdotes loads already. Also, I know they're actors and camera-honed n everything, but it still must be a little awkward sitting on a stage in line with your colleagues and trying to all be funny and charming in reponse to fairly probing questions about your work

[@Goldhelmriel]

LOL The original Starbuck actor has this pathetic blog called 'Starbuck Lost in Castration' & is really bitter about the new show (calls it unimagined) & the way the new character is not a man(because according to him women are simply castrated males). He goes on and on about he was oppressed by network execs b/c he could not play a womanizer, yet claims the new show has no morals. I think that particular irony is lost on him. Just read it if you can- its pretty funny actually.

[@Kamandi1971]

he called it like he saw it

[@CaptainEnglehorn]

Well he should get his eyes examined then.

[@arnoldrimmer8580]

Saying it's "based" on Mormonism is a huge exaggeration.

[@gawainethefirst]

Arnold Rimmer, it’s based on the original BSG, which is based heavily on Mormonism.

[@kuziokundera]

There were times I loved her as Starbuck and other times it felt too forced in terms of “women can be just like men” vibe.

[@darkasthesky]

LOL she is so funny

[@THERAPTURECOMES]

How many people here know that Battlestar Galactica is based upon MORMONISM BELIEFS????

[@dq1275]

Katie Sackoff really reprised Sheba (Anne Lockhart) from the old series, not Starbuck. Sheba was a kick ass fighter pilot, sure of herself, Apollo’s equal, rival, and eventually intended love interest. Calling her character Starbuck and pitting her against Dirk Benedict’s rendition was a masterful move by the producers to create controversy and internet buzz. Katie did a masterful job. All they needed to say was she was Admiral Caínes (Michelle Forbes) daughter and the circle would have been complete. That would have made for a great plot of mother daughter issues as opposed to the father daughter issues in the original series!!!!!

[@THERAPTURECOMES]

Just plain crazy

she has german relatives...like 15 percent of the us americans...

[@TheInFormer500]

@pearledduck so having an asian character instead of a black character is rascist wtf? first: if you are dont like about the lack of minorities in the series why would you find it rascist when an asian got a role instead of a black person (THATS special treatment and actually rasicsm) second: they picked the ppl most fitting for each role without regard for their skin colour, i think you are the rascist not the casters.

[@TheArfdog]

'Twas a good day and a good jerk

[@Baliken100]

thumbs down on the beeping out the cuss words that was pretty stupid

[@IronRooRoo]

Load of bullshit. Starbuck, manly? Please, I only wished the Galactica arrived at Earth during 2179, just so they could run into the Colonial Marines of the Aliens universe. Vasquez would kick her teeth in, while Hudson laughs in the background, and Hicks catches some shut eye.

[@joanofarc33]

I think Sackhoff is an amazing actress with a great career ahead of her but I cannot stand to hear her in this interview, its the complete opposite of the strong serious character she plays on BG. Like I said, she's an amazing actress. I find her character's compelling and her real life personae forgettable if not annoying.

[@AliFareedMC]

Bonerstar Galactica LOL

[@amirprog]

starbuck is one of the most annoying characters i've seen, and i like battlestar galactica, so i had to compromise on watching her character, was not easy. also the fact that the story treat humans and machines (that lack soul) as one. humans and machine will never ever be equal in real life, because machines will ALWAYS lack soul. no technology EVER NEVER will be able to invent a real soul that born into this world. these are 2 annoying flaws. still, a great series with lots of morals.

[@Cronhour]

what is a soul?

[@jovialvibes5962]

completely missed the point of the show if this is a "flaw" in your opinion. and if you like apollo but don't like starbuck.... easy to see the cause of that
