Even though it's not new to OSNews, it is a rare occurrence: an interview with an actress. Today, we have an interview with Nicki Clyne, the Canadian-born actress who portrays Cally Henderson in the popular and critically-acclaimed TV series "Battlestar Galactica". She talks about what it's like to be part of the BSG family, her role as Cally, but also about things that have absolutely nothing to do with the series. Be warned that this interview contains spoilers; you can skip straight to page 3 to avoid them.

My take: ;-) Cally's story is the only aspect of BSG that has made ANY. SENSE. AT. ALL. in the fourth season: the choice of the "hidden four" demonstrated conclusively that the show's creators had completely lost their way and would chase any plot twist, no matter how ridiculous. Never mind Baltar's anti-success in everything he does. (Does he even remember that he started the series as a scientist?!?)
Sad, but so true. The so called creative 'geniuses' behind this show really turned out to be unimaginative, uncreative, and just plain boring. There is so much missed potential they could have done with this show, instead it turned out to be a very un-imaginative West Wing in space. They spent about 100x more showing lame scenes of worthless political fighting, elections, cabinet meetings, etc.. than actually exploring anything beyond some idiot debates.
This will be the first TV series I have watched in some time where I will be glad it ended. What is truly sad is some idiots have given the green light for Ronald Moore to "re-image" the classic movie The Thing. Anyone want to take bets now on badly this will fail at the box office?
p.s. Any article that breaks away from this childish, idiotic flame infested fanboy OS wars is a blessing!

The number of unnecessary remakes is getting to be absurd. I can't imagine Moore being able to improve on John Carpenter's version. That's almost as bad as the prospect of a remake of The Evil Dead, or the rumoured Darren Aaronofsky remake of Lone Wolf and Cub (as a western, of all things).

I strongly disagree! Quality of episodes vary in season 4, that is true, but I wouldn't blame writers for that. As far as story telling is concerned, I consider it being brilliant. Other thing is that directing sometimes sucks. Two last episodes were great - but the one that aired just before them - was poorly directed, and I didn't enjoy it at all - even though it included some really dramatical elements of story.

Honestly, the interview is a little underwhelming. That said...

Nicky's acting has made Cally's part all the more compelling, and even though it was depressing to see the character's untimely end, holy cow at least it made sense. I wonder if Tyrol will ever have his questions regarding the mysterious circumstances of her death answered.
