Whilst Katee Sackhoff’s recognition will increase because of initiatives like The Mandalorian (which, sadly, messed together with her confidence), the 2025 film Struggle or Flight and the upcoming Carrie miniseries, Battlestar Galactica continues to be an vital a part of her life. The actress performed Kara “Starbuck” Thrace in then-Sci-Fi Channel sequence that reimagined Glen A. Larson’s same-named sci-fi present from the late ‘70s. And but, Sackhoff evidently wasn’t within the loop on the whole lot that occurred on the 2000s Battlestar Galactica, as a result of she missed out on one of many present’s wilder plotlines.
This got here to gentle on The Sackhoff Present when she was speaking with Charisma Carpenter, who performed Cordelia Chase on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. As Carpenter began to speak about she by no means knew that Buffy’s mother died, Sackhoff stated:
I simply had this second on stage the opposite day the place Tricia was speaking about how her character obtained pregnant with the primary Cylon/Cylon child and I went, ‘I’m sorry, what?’ And she or he was like, ‘I had a miscarriage on the present.’… And I used to be like, ‘Nicely, who obtained you pregnant?’ She was like, ‘Tigh.’ And I used to be like, ‘Colonel Tigh?!’ I had no concept.
Contemplating Starbuck wasn’t concerned with this plotline in any respect, I’m not terribly shocked Katee Sackhoff didn’t learn about it if she’s by no means gone again to look at Battlestar Galactica from begin to end. And truthfully, this was one of many weirder story beats from the sequence.
It noticed Colonel Saul Tigh sleeping with Caprica Six, who was unaware on the time he was one of many Remaining 5 Cylons. Nonetheless, she realized the reality upon getting pregnant, and never solely did they develop nearer from there, however her child would have been the primary to be born from two procreating human Cylon fashions. Nonetheless, as soon as Saul’s spouse Ellen, one other one of many Remaining 5, returned, Tigh and Caprica’s relationship began to deteriorate, after which Caprica misplaced the child.
Now all of that’s wild sufficient by itself, however then it’s important to bear in mind how the Remaining 5 (which additionally included Galen Tyrol, Sam Anders and Tory Foster) had been the final survivors of the humanoid Cylon race on the primary Earth. Not solely did they prepare the truce between the people and Centurions created by the Twelve Colonies, in addition they created the eight humanoid fashions of this period and gave them resurrection expertise. So in a way, Tigh was the “father” who was sleeping along with his “daughter,” Six.
Yeah, I don’t significantly care to get extra into the weeds with that facet of Battlestar Galactica, however I do like how Katee Sackhoff realized about this whereas on stage in entrance of a crowd of individuals from Tricia Helfer, who performed the assorted Six fashions. Now I’m wondering if there are some other plotlines she doesn’t learn about. If there are, I hope she learns about them from different forged Battlestar Galactica forged members, as I doubt she has the time to look at the sequence in its entirety.
