Battlestar React-ica: Katee Sackhoff's First Watch of BSG

Starbuck, Helo and their new/old Cylon buddy Sharon return to the fleet! And Katee and Robin think they maayyybe should have planned their entrance a little better. Meanwhile, Adama struggles to keep his part of the fleet afloat, Tom Zarek plots some villainy, and President/Prophet Laura Roslin plans a trip to Kobol that is GUARANTEED to cause some bloodshed. Phew....we may be due for a lighthearted romp like "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down" soon.

Aaron Douglas is back for another Triple Banger (if you know, you know). It may not be a very Chief heavy episode, but Aaron gives some great insider commentary on "The Farm" as we spend some time digging into Starbucks dark backstory and get some more (handsome)face time with Michael Trucco's character Sam Anders.

It's a double header with Cylon Six AKA Tricia Helfer on the couch! This episode gives us some strong Sam Witwer action as Crashdown leads the stranded team on Kobol against a troop of Cylon Centurions. Meanwhile, Desperate Housewives of BSG star Ellen Tigh is stirring the pot on board the Galactica by drawing attention to President Roslin's drug withdrawal symptoms. Colonel Tigh is in over his head....

This is it...our first guest on the couch! And we couldn't be happier to be sitting next to Tricia Helfer. Besides reacting to "Valley of Darkness" together, we also get to hear from Tricia about what it was like playing a Cylon, how she had to fit into tiny spaces in order to 'appear' as Six, and much much more.

"Kobol's Last Gleaming Part 1" is probably the sweatiest we've ever been while watching television.. Katee remembers all the dirty little details of a certain sex scene, and Robin's head almost explodes in the opening sequence of the episode. Come along for the ride!

Join us for a nice quiet vacation on the Cloud 9, a luxury space cruise liner where nothing bad ever happens and everything is super chill and relaxed.. PSYCH! This is BSG so there's an assassination plot, political backstabbing, a bar brawl, and Starbuck shows up at the end in a little blue dress that is very cute -- until Robin finds out her dance with Baltar goes WAY further than he wanted to hear.

Last weeks episode was all fun and games, but this week on Episode 10 "Hand of God" it's all business as Katee and Robin react to Starbuck taking on a commanding role, and Apollo steps up his flight game in a daring, yet familiar way.. #starwars anyone?

We're not exactly sure how we feel about episode 9 "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down" The sitcom energy of this one was both a ton of fun to watch, and also a little off-putting Where does this rank in your top 9 episodes of the season? Cause it's a wildcard!

Episode 7 'Six Degrees of Separation' gives us some of the finest Baltar moments of the season and Katee and Robin swoon over James Callis' performance. Not to be sidelined, Trisha's transformation from Cylon Six into Shelly Godfrey is phenomenal. Plus, a sexual moment between her and Commander Adama had us reeling!

Episode 6 Litmus is like Law & Order: Sci-Fi edition.. but with bombs.. and better writing.. and a character who fights robots on a nuked planet where the fleshy robot replicants beat the crap out of one of their own in some kind of confusing long con to trick the human, who is also falling in love with one of the fleshy replicants.. Okay it's not like Law & Order, but some law stuff happens :)

This episode is heavy on the Starbuck and heavy on the feels you guys! BSG's Act of Contrition starts off with another Bang (FLAT-TOOOPPPPPP!!!) and then twists the knife in even more as we dive deeper into Starbuck and Adama's relationship. One scene in this episode had a huge impact on my career after getting a talking to from Eddie Olmos.

Hi everyone and thanks for joining me for another amazing year of The Sackhoff Show! I am so proud of the year we had together and so grateful to all of you for being part of this amazing community. On this special end-of-year Hindsight, my producer Jeph talk about our personal year in review (I won my F1 Fantasy league!) and our plans for 2026. Most of all, we share some important updates about the future of The Sackhoff Show! Don't worry, we're not going anywhere, but the show will look a little different going forward. I'm excited for a...

Hi Everyone! What better way to celebrate the holidays than having a conversation about space? If you love science— or if you're like me and you find it overwhelming— you're going to really enjoy this episode! Neil deGrasse Tyson has made a career out of teaching everyday people about the extraordinary true story of the universe. He has a new book out called Just Visiting This Planet, Revised and Updated for the Twenty-First Century: Further Scientific Adventures of Merlin from Omniscia, which I read and loved. In the book, Tyson plays a slightly snarky, all-knowing character named Merlin, who answ...

Happy Tuesday and Happy Holidays, Everyone! If anyone can convince me to join their Dungeons & Dragons campaign, it's Todd Stashwick. If you don't know Todd, he plays Deacon on 12 Monkeys and Captain Liam Shaw on Star Trek: Picard, among many other roles. He is also playing Palladin in the upcoming VisionQuest from creator Terry Matalas. Todd is a brilliant actor and a true nerd and we have so much fun in this conversation. We talk about how he got from doing comedy at Second City to playing killers on TV. We get into what it was like growing up...

Hi everyone, happy Tuesday! You didn't think I could keep Michael Trucco away for long, did you? The last time I had Michael on the show, it was audio-only, so if you've been dying to see his beautiful face, today's your lucky day! I first met Michael on Battlestar where he played Samuel T. Anders, but we have stayed close over the years. As an actor, he has been on a role recently— you may have seen him as Sean Del Monte in The Rookie, Luke Leone on Fire Country, or in one of Mike Flanagan's recent projects, from Li...

Happy Tuesday! I have been looking forward to interviewing this week's guest for a long time and I am so happy we were finally able to get him on the show. This week I'm talking with none other than Skeet Ulrich! I have been a fan of Skeet's work since he played Billy Loomis in Scream and Chris Hooker in The Craft. You may also know him from Riverdale, where he played FP Jones, or from roles in As Good As It Gets, Jericho, Law & Order: LA and many others. He is one of those actors that is able...

Hey everyone! This week's episode is a repost of a live episode we did over on my Patreon. I was recently told I HAD to watch the new documentary The Age of Disclosure all about UFOs and UAPs, so I thought I'd grab the two middle-aged men I know that will always talk to me about aliens, my producer Jeph Porter and my friend Kristian Harloff. So if you want to know my thoughts on the film, check this one out. Jeph and I also do a little AMA at the end. If you want me to answer your...

Hi everyone, Happy Tuesday! This year, I dressed up as the Marshmallow Man for Halloween, so it's only fitting that I have Ernie Hudson on the show this week! Ernie famously played Winston Zeddmore in Ghostbusters. He has also appeared in many, many other projects, including films like The Crow, Airheads and Miss Congeniality and on TV on Oz, Grace and Frankie, LA's Finest and most recently as L. C. Duncan in The Family Business. It was such an honor to sit down with Ernie and we immediately got along. We talk about his childhood and the emotional moment...

It's a special Tuesday this week! Show favorite Paul Sun-Hyung Lee joins the show as Katee reveals his brand-new Carson Teva action figure. Plus, Katee gets the updates from Paul about the new season of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Paul shares his contribution to the design of the patches on Carson Teva's bomber jacket. Stick around for an AMA with Paul and Katee, with questions about the 501st, cosplay, Stephen King and who would (and wouldn't) play a vampire. This is a repost of a live Patreon event— if you want more AMA's and live events, let us kn...

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I can't believe it's taken this long, but this week I am finally talking to my friend and Battlestar legend James Callis! On Battlestar, James played Dr. Gaius Baltar. He is also known for playing best friend Tom in the Bridget Jones' Diary movies, as well as appearances in Star Trek: Picard, 12 Monkeys, Arrow and most recently as Claude Whelan in Slow Horses. James was an intimidating person for me to interview — he's so smart about acting (and about everything else) and he plays a really good bad guy— but in this conversation, you get to see...

Hi everyone, this week we have a Halloween surprise for you! My producer Jeph and I are rewatching Mike Flanagan's 2013 horror film Oculus, which I starred in. Grab some popcorn and candy and get ready for some southern gothic scares. I haven't seen this movie in over a decade, so it was a lot of fun to sit down and try to remember what happened. Jeph had never seen it, so he was coming in blind!

For this audio companion, Jeph and I introduce the movie and talk through some behind the scenes stories about the rest...

Happy Spooky Season, Everyone! As many of you know, scary movies freak me out. But that doesn't mean I don't love today's guest! Today I'm talking to a horror icon— Freddy himself, Robert Englund! Robert is beloved for his performance as Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street and its many sequels. He has also had an illustrious career outside of Wes Craven's franchise, appearing in hundreds of films and TV shows, including a recent appearance as Victor Creel in Stranger Things. On Halloween of this year, he will be immortalized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of...

Hi Everyone, Happy Tuesday! Thank you so much for being here. Today I'm talking to the ultimate multi-hyphenate creator Alanah Pearce. Alanah is an actor, a producer, a content creator and a former journalist and she is best-known as a video game writer and developer. She is a highly-respected voice in the role of games and has worked on some of the biggest games of the last 10 years, including God of War Ragnarök. We have a fascinating conversation comparing our experiences navigating different entertainment industries and find common ground talking about creative decision-making and managing harassment online.

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I'm so happy to be talking with today's guest— the fabulous Madelaine Petsch! Madelaine played Cheryl Blossom on Riverdale and she is currently starring as Maya in The Strangers: Ch 2, reprising her role from The Strangers: Ch 1. She will also be seen as Charlie in Maintenance Required, which will be available globally on Prime Video October 8th! It was such a pleasure to get to know Madelaine a little bit better! We actually have a lot in common— we talk about growing up in the Pacific Northwest and getting involved with acting at a young age. We a...

Hi Everyone, Happy Tuesday! Today's guest is none other than Steven Ogg. Steven has created a niche playing characters that are a little (or a LOT) unhinged. He is best known for playing Trevor in Grand Theft Auto. He played Simon in Walking Dead, Pike in Snowpiercer, Rebus on Westworld, Sobchak on Better Caul Saul and many, many others. People see Steven and they think— whoa, this guy's a little crazy. But the truth is, he is also a super sensitive artist and a real actor's actor. I had so much fun getting into the weeds and sharing stories ab...

Hi Everyone, hope you're having a wonderful Tuesday! This week's guest is my Pacific Northwest buddy and star of Napoleon Dynamite, Jon Heder! If you haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite (I don't know how that's possible), please go out and watch it RIGHT NOW and then come back for this interview. It was so much fun to chat with Jon and hear the story behind how he created such an iconic character. We talk about where he learned to dance, how he and the director transformed the story from a student film into a massive hit and what it was...

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! Buffy was one of those shows that genuinely inspired me to become an actor. I have been such a fan and admirer of Charisma Carpenter ever since her iconic performance as Cordelia Chase on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel and it was a treat to sit down with her for a longer conversation. And this was a LONG conversation— in fact, we had so much fun talking, we had Charisma come back and record a second day just so I could ask all the questions I had for her! Charisma is passionate about everything she do...

Hi Everyone, Happy Tuesday! I am so excited for you to get to know today's guest. When I first saw Brandon Rogers, it was at a con and he had a line of people waiting to see him that went out the door and down the block. I said to myself, "I have got to get to know this person." If you don't know Brandon's work, he has been making incredible, hilarious short videos for YouTube for almost 20 years (since the beginning!). Do yourself a favor and do a deep dive. His characters are outlandish, subversive and most of...

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I hope you're enjoying the end of Summer! I had such a great time chatting with my guest this week— the one and only Robbie Amell! If you don't know Robbie, he is currently starring as Nathan Brown in the final season of Upload, a show which I absolutely love. He also played Ronnie Raymond on The Flash, as well as Connor Reed in Code 8 and Code 8: Part II, which he also produced. We talk about his recent move back to Canada (you know I love my Canadians) and what it was like becoming a dad wh...

Hi Everyone! I am in awe of today's guest and I can't wait for you to listen to this conversation! Jimmi Simpson is one of those actors that really makes you pay attention from the moment you see him onscreen. You may know him from playing Liam McPoyle on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or from his more dramatic work as William in Westworld, Walton in Black Mirror, Tom Andrews in Pachinko, or from one of many many other roles. It was such a pleasure to chat with someone whose work I really respect and learn that our process...
