The latest issue of Starburst magazine, just out in the UK, features an exclusive interview with Battlestar Galactica producer Ronald D. Moore, in which he talks about the fourth and final season of the show. Here are a few excerpts, cortesy of Sci Fi Pulse.
One aspect of season four which has many people talking is the addition of Star Trek Deep Space Nine actress Nana Visitor who will be playing a recurring role throughout the season and will get to spend a lot of screen time with Laura Roslin.
"Nana Visitor [Major Kira Nerys on DS9] is playing Emily," says the executive producer. "She's another cancer patient in sickbay and who Laura Roslin meets when receiving her chemotherapy treatments, which we call diloxin on our show.
"Not surprisingly, the president is making regular visits to sickbay this season, and in this story we introduce Emily, who is terminal and much further along in her illness then Laura. Faith is about the relationship between the two women. Nana is going to be terrific for this role, and it's great to see her again."
Season Four also brings us yet another incarnation of Tricia Helfer's Number Six character, "she'll be playing Natalie, yet another incarnation of Number Six. I've spoken about the growing conflict and division within the Cylon world, and two of the primary players in that are Cavil [Dean Stockwell] and Natalie. This Number Six is different from the other Sixes we've dealt with in that she's a bit more assertive as well as authoritative and not afraid to take charge."
"At the start of this year we all got together and said, OK, we want to be here by the end, and this is the outline of Season Four in very general terms," he recalls.
"We then talked about the first half of Season Four in detail, but chose to postpone any decisions to do with the second half until later on. Experience has taught us that as you start dealing with the first half of the season, a lot of things change. You're constantly deciding and discovering new things, so it's wise not to get too specific about the latter half until the first half is locked into place. That said, the macro goals that we set for ourselves as far as where we want our story to finally get to, are still in place and we're still moving towards those ideas."
