Lots of behind-the-scenes talk, and some thoughts on the new, upcoming Galactica series:
So, yes: the new Galactica series is a go. It's not a reboot of Ronald D. Moore's "Battlestar Galactica"; it's supposed to take place in a different part of Moore's universe. I have mixed feelings about the new series (Moore might be distantly involved as a consultant), but I'm open-minded enough to give it a whirl for at least a couple episodes. If it turns out to be trash, I'll turn it off. Life is too short—and only getting shorter—to waste on bad entertainment.
Tricia Helfer has led a charmed life. If I remember correctly, "Galactica" was her first-ever major acting role (she'd had less important roles in "CSI" and a show called "Jeremiah"); she had a background as a model, so someone took a big risk bringing her into such a serious sci-fi drama. And she knocked it out of the park because, as it turned out, the chick could act. Helfer was easily one of the most crucial members of the cast, quite capable of performing opposite veteran actors like Edward James Olmos, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, and especially James Callis. After "Galactica" ended, Helfer went on to dozens of other roles; I saw her do a multi-episode stint in "Burn Notice." At 49, she's no longer a spring chicken, but I'd say she still has a bright future ahead of her.
