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

We go from last week's episode where Starbuck is suspiciously non-existent, to this week....where it's all Kara Thrace all the time! And she is a hot frakkin' mess y'all. Katee talks about how frustrating it was to play Starbuck in this storyline, where she is constantly failing and being torn to pieces by Kat of all people...

"Black Market" is allegedly the worst episode of Battlestar Galactica across all 4 seasons, according to the internet. Katee and Robin have thoughts on this, as well as one major overarching question...Why the hell isn't Kara Thrace in this episode!?

We've had an Epiphany...you should watch BSG with us, cause it's frakking great! The last few episodes tackled some really heavy subject matter shown through the treatment of Cylon prisoners in the fleet. This week, the Battlestar creators lighten the mood with some fun debate about aborting a Cylon/Human hybrid baby....😳 Buckle up.

Apollo free floating in space, Starbuck on the assassination path, and Adama and Roslin's relationship makes Katee Sackhoff cry...hard. Tricia Helfer is back on the couch with us to complete the BSG Pegasus Trilogy of episodes, and we get to see her evolve her character(s) into territory we haven't seen from her before on the show.

"Let's just be...friendly!" In your dreams Starbuck, this is BSG. Admiral Cain and Commander Adama call a truce, but that does NOT last. Tricia Helfer is on the couch with Katee and Robin as we watch dual assassination plots unfold. Meanwhile, Baltar is making progress with Model 6 "Gina", until she tries to choke him out. Or maybe that is progress? 🤷‍♀️

Tricia Helfer is back for an episode that represents a dramatic shift in her Cylon portrayal. It's also a complete cluster F of moral and ethical questions as we discover that another Battlestar has survived, and they have an entirely different...culture let's say, on board their ship. Tricia is able to give us incredible insight into this pivotal moment in the series as two fleets merge. The dynamic that Michelle Forbes brings onto the show with her character Admiral Cain is incredible television!

This episode of the BSG React-ica dives into some VERY far fetched ideas. A computer virus that can learn, adapt and eventually destroy us all? No way that's ever going to happen 👀 Katee and Robin are once again amazed by how relevant this show still is. Plus Chief builds a stealth fighter, Sharon saves the fleet, and Chief and Helo get into fisticuffs!

We're back with Tahmoh Penikett aka HELO! This time we get to react to one of the most referenced episodes in Season 2 apparently. It's also our first introduction to LUCY LAWLESS on the show! Tahmoh is, as expected, a joy to have with us watching this episode. He gives us his views on stunt casting, ignoring the multiple camera's (one cameraman named Tim in particular who always popped out of nowhere) and more!

Tahmoh Penikett is here! We get to see him and Helo react to the news that he’s having a daughter 🤯 and it sure gets awkward when Chief Tyrol shows up in what was one hell of a fleet reunion. Stick around to the end to hear us dive into some fan questions and find out even more about Tahmoh’s experience on 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.

The Chief himself is on the show! Aaron Douglas joins us on the couch to watch Ep. 4 Resistance. And what an episode as Chief Tyrol and Boomer are reunited for the first time since before Adama was shot. Aaron gives us some incredible insight into filming this episode but also a ton of great stories from the show in general. So stick around to the end!

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...
