Praise for Katee

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

A new glowing review of BSG from The University Observer newspaper in Ireland that ends with this lovely assessment of Katee/Kara:

The show features several breakout characters, but the highlight must be Kara “Starbuck” Thrace. Everything about this character breaks the stereotypical mould of female roles in sci-fi – the part was played by a man in the seventies version, and is now seen as a role model in the sci-fi medium.

Starbuck was played to perfection by actress Katee Sackhoff, who exuded a presence that, within seconds, could create an unexpected flurry of emotions. She was described by one of the show’s producers; “We saw this whole other side that was all because of Katee: vulnerability, insecurity, desperation. We started freeing ourselves up to explore the weakness of the character, because we knew Katee could express those things without compromising the character’s strength”.

Also there's some great candid shots of Katee on the streets of LA right here.

I love that description about how she could show all that without compromising strength. (It's called being a woman, yo!) #snark

Thanks!

Haha, seriously. It's like - wait, what? You can be vulnerable AND strong?? Eureka!!

Anywho, it is delightful to see more glowing praise for her work. She deserves all that and more!
