News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media

Only 43 days until Starbuck's return

Today NBC released a slew of brand-new promo photos for Season 4 (the last! sob!) of Battlestar Galactica, which premieres on Friday, April 4, at 10 p.m. ET on Sci Fi. Here's some eye candy for you:

Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck

Lucy Lawless as D'Anna Biers

 

Tricia Helfer as Number Six

Grace Park as Sharon

Starbuck and President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell)

The Cylon ladies

Starbuck's lesbianish men, Anders (Michael Trucco) and Apollo (Jamie Bamber)

The cast

The premiere will be preceded the week before with two half-hour BSG specials, airing on March 28 at 10 p.m. ET on Sci Fi. According to the NBC press release, here's what they're about:

Battlestar Galactica: Revisited (10pm) will serve up the essential information on the series' past three seasons, providing the uninitiated with an introduction to the characters, relationships and spine-tingling drama that have captured the imagination of audiences around the world. Galactica's executive producers, Ronald D. Moore and David Eick serve as guides, providing insights and revelations about the critically-acclaimed series.

Battlestar Galactica: The Phenomenon (10:30pm) is a celebrity-studded celebration of the show's impact on pop culture. Interviewees, including Seth Green, country music's Top Male Vocalist of 2007 Brad Paisley, and The Soup's Joel McHale, and others, wax poetic about why Battlestar Galactica is one of the best frakkin' shows on television.

If all this isn't enough, you can watch a Season 4 preview here with interviews from all the cast members and clips from the upcoming season, or you can watch the most recent Season 4 trailer here. And, just because I can, here's another pic of Starbuck (would you expect anything less from me?):

    Death By Photoshop

    Major acid peel on Starbuck's face or extreme Photoshopping? I know she's back from the dead and all...but she looks MORE robotic and non-human than the robot ladies. What is up with the crazy Photoshopping? And why is Apollo in a suit? Starbuck is hot as usual...but weird looking. Like, real weird.

    What can I say?

    Starbuck is beyond HOT.

    I love the show but the women on this show?  Wow...

    calilifer's picture

    That last pic

    OK... I need that one posted up somewhere I can see it EVERY DAMN DAY... lol. I remember Katee Sackhoff's comment about bringing her flight suit and guns home on the last day of shooting and well... yeah.... I gotta go now. Is it hot in here or just me.....

    BSG

    I'm definitely excited about this show returning- finally!
    aerisstrife's picture

    Oh my gods!

    Oh my gods! (or is it "by the gods"? or was that on Xena? gah I can't keep all my nerdy shows straight) I don't know who's hotter out of all those ladies. I don't usually go for the platinum blondes but I think I'm going to go for Six. Mmm, mm.

     

    You should sneakily insert something (anything!) BSG-related into the Crock POC on the next Lo-Down :)

    ooh la la's picture

    BSG! Can't wait!

    Just found out that they are going to get back to work and finish those "ending" episodes now that the writer's strike is over.  That scare that the strike might kill those shows has haunted me for the past few months.  We will have a true ending.

    Frak me!!!

    After Ellen..came me!! 18 years to the day later to be extact!!

    I am sooo very excited (and slightly sad) about season four. We probably won't get it over in the UK until the summer, so how about a BSG vlog?? Come on, you know you want to... It's not as if Jill, Karman and Dara have anything else to do.. ;o)  So say we all...???

    By the way - Katee Sackhoff could lead me to earth (or in the completely wrong direction), any day!

    P.S. I don't think Starbuck is the final cylon, its too obvious isn't it..?

    drbambee's picture

    FRAK YEAH! THANK THE GODS!!!

    By the way, AfterEllenCameMe, there was a photo spread - very Last Supper-like - in the magazine Entertainment Weekly where Ronald D. Moore, the creator of this newest version of BSG, let slip that none of the humans in the photo were the last Cylon and Starbuck was in the photo.  The other humans in the photo were Laura Roslin, Apollo, and Admiral Adama.  I have huge suspicions of who the last Cylon is and it might be female, but I'm keeping my mouth shut about it.  Speaking of female Cylons, why isn't Tori, Roslin's assistant, featured with the other female Cylons?  She's pretty hot herself.  And isn't it funny that all the female Cylons, so far, are smokin' hot?

    starbucks pants..

    I'm wondering if starbuck's pants get any higher if they will..... you know what i'm not going to finish that thought......
    HeyShasta's picture

    I need air!

    Those pictures are making me hyperventilate. Starbuck is just so beyond hot... Thank you Malinda! I've been avoiding obsessing over BSG because the wait has been terrible.

    I am so excited that Lucy's back. I can't wait to see what's in store for D'Anna.

    As for Starbuck's lesbianish men, they're both looknig hot and I only just clued in that Anders is wearing flight stuff. The number of hot pilots on this show is excellent. Lee in a suit though.... That's a bit ominous. Pretty, but ominous. And no way to show off his arms. At least there's the hotness of Starbuck to hold it all together!

    Feel free to blog about Starbuck alllllll you want!

    Katee Starbuck Sackhoff!!!

    I've just started watching this show and have yet to see season three yet.  Of course I had to read ahead and find out what happens.  I can't wait for the new season!  This show rocks! 

     Malindalo,

    I totally share your love of Starbuck and the necessity of posting several pictures of her.  Katee Sackhoff is gorgeous!

    truetor's picture

    thank you!!!

    thank you for the wonderful pics Malinda!! especially for including Lucy Lawless!! can you and Sara P. please do a vlog recapping BSG? i think that would be sooo awesome! your blog after Razor was amazing. you guys are BSG experts after all. at least say you'll think about it.

    Last.Season.Ever.

    Wow!  Katee Sackhoff continues to morph into a hardbodied goddess!  Hope there is still some bootie left to fill out that flightsuit...

    Apollo dressed like a Baltar clone?

    All hail the return of Lucy Lawless.  An appearance by the ghost of Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes) would complete the show for me.

    Sackhoff & Lawless no need to say N-E more this is gonna be GREAT!!!  GREAT pics **SWOON**

    Lucy is my goddess!

    While I am excited about Starbuck's return....ohmigod ohmigod ohmigod...Yay for Lucy!!! I'm glad those studio folk made the right choice and brought her back for another season.

    Frak me! She is amazing...and so intoxicatingly, drool worthy, weak in the knees beautiful.

    Thanks for sharing these Malindalo! (whimper, whine, whimper) Can't wait for April 4th!!!

    What About President Roslin?

    Yeah, Katee/Starbuck's hot (and I've been crushing on her since her Max Bickford days...Katee and Marcia Gay Harden... : ) but why the lack of love for Laura Roslin and her equally fabulous Mary McDonnell?

    Laura's a fierce and fiesty character, a president in charge of saving humanity and dealing with the underhanded manipulations of everyone around her, as well as engaging in some underhanded manipulations herself... which only adds to the show's complexity and her character depth! Not to mention, Mary McDonnell's hot, pure and simple. But she's always a footnote in the women of Battlestar posts... What's with the lack of love for Mary/Laura? She's a beautiful, intelligent older woman (I've always been a sucker for older woment) - she seems like the ultimate AfterEllen poster woman!

    Personally, I'd take President Roslin over Starbuck anyday! It's kinda like Bette Porter...in space!

    great pics

    great pics, these women are all amazing (though i still have a hard time picturing Grace Park as anyone other than cute, but akward, 'omg, i think i'm gay,' Shannon from Edgemont). regardless, i can hardly wait for season 4 to actually air (though i could certainly hold out for a while on the whole 'seeing one of the best shows on television end' thing).
