Edward James Olmos Says Galactica Will Not Have a Happy Ending

Features

By GustavoLeao / 16:54, 29 May 2008 / General Genre/SciFi

The lastest issue of SciFi Now magazine features an exclusive interview with Battlestar Galactica star Edward James Olmos. Here are a few excerpts.

"It's not a happy ending, we end up with almost nothing," the 61-year-old actor said about the series finale "Twenty years from now, people will see this as excellent post-9/11 television. It'll be marketed in a way that demonstrates sociological change for the time."

For the full interview with Olmos, pick up a copy of SciFiNow issue 17, on sale July 2008.

The latest issue of TV Zone Special, out in the UK, has an interview with Galactica actress Katee Sackhoff. Here is an excerpt from the article.

Die-hard fans of the 1978 Galactica series are the first to point out that that show's Lieutenant Starbuck was male, and played by Dirk Benedict. When the re-imagined version of the character turned out to be female and Sackhoff was cast in the role, many of those same fans were outraged. But ultimately, Sackhoff succeeded in winning over many of those who initially had doubts about her and the re-imagined Starbuck.


"It's nice to have people identify with a character that you're playing and appreciate the work you're doing," she says. "However, I don't think I went into this trying to win over the old fans because you can't ever please everyone. Also, I didn't want to focus on people who were all ready to, in a sense, spew negative energy at me. So I just kind of did my thing, and it's great that some people have been converted, and it feels rather gratifying as well. For those who said that the character wouldn't work with a woman, it feels good to know that, in fact, it did."

More from Sackhoff can be found here.

The full article can be found on the latest issue of TV Zone Special magazine, now on sale.

Yeah, the "Return of Starbuck" episode of GALACTICA 1980 was awesome. Best acting from Dirk Benedict ever. But the rest of the series.....ugh. And dont remind me of Doctor Zee !

BTW, I also have BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25th CENTURY on DVD. Okay, it is true, I admit it.

My guess.... they are going to find Earth and it is going to be a wasteland.
