Battlestar's Sackhoff Talks Starbuck
12:00 AM, 01-AUGUST-07
Katee Sackhoff, who plays fighter jock Starbuck in SCI FI Channel's original series Battlestar Galactica, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming fourth season won't answer the mystery of her return any time soon.
"I believe that it will be a mystery all along," Sackhoff said in a telephone interview from the show's Vancouver, Canada, set. "I think it's going to be up to the audience who and what she is. And I think that they'll allow the audience to make their own judgments. Because I still don't know."
Executive producer David Eick, meanwhile, confirmed to SCI FI Wire that the mystery will eventually be answered. "Sure, sure," Eick said in an interview at Comic-Con International in San Diego over the weekend. "Just not right now [laughs]."
In the third-season finale, Starbuck appeared at the end, flying in a Viper alongside Apollo (Jamie Bamber) and revealing that she had been to Earth.
"The way that it has been presented to me, and the way that I'm playing it, is that Kara Thrace is a woman on a mission now," Sackhoff said. "And she's not going to let anything stand in her way. She is acting very human. I don't know what that means."
Sackhoff said as of last week that the show is currently shooting the fourth season's seventh episode. She offered this spoiler about the installment: "My character is dealing with a little bit of mutiny on her hands. And she is ... siding with some unlikely allies to accomplish her goals."
Sackhoff will be dividing her time in Vancouver between Battlestar and NBC's Bionic Woman, in which she has a recurring role and which shoots at the same studio lot as Battlestar.
"It's really nice," Sackhoff said. "It's exciting, especially since this is our last year. It's a tremendous opportunity to be able to have a beginning, a middle and an end to a show. And to be able to end it on your terms and not have the rug pulled out from underneath you." Battlestar Galactica's fourth and final season kicks off in November with a special two-hour event entitled "Razor." The show's additional 20 episodes will return in early 2008. —Patrick Lee, News Editor
