The best performance of the Battlestar star of fans fans

While all Ronald’s characters D. Moore Battlestar Galactica The restart is great, none caused as much impression as Starbuck, the hotshot pilot whose life is a complete disaster, except when it is in a viper cabin. While the character is well written, it is fair to say that most of why Starbuck is so popular is the charismatic performance of the woman behind the flight stick. Katee Sackhoff gave the best performance of his career in this program, but most fans do not realize that they possibly made their best performance behind the scene designing a set for the episode “Valley of Darkness”.

How Katee Sackhoff gave life to Starbuck without acting

In this episode of season 2, Starbuck has returned to his native planet in Caprica along with Helo. There, the Hotshot pilot falls down the memory lane, listening to his father’s old albums and remembering his time together. As for Katee Sackhoff, she turned the way into an intimate form of helping to paint much of the work of art that we see on the screen, effectively developing more about her personality and her relationship with her father and her commander Adama.

Part of what makes the Battlestar Galactica Remake so great is the efficient narration, complete with scenes that sometimes tell us everything before someone even speaks. For example, in “Valley of Darkness”, we learn a lot about Starbuck’s relationship with his father thanks to the conversations he has with helo. But we possibly learn much more about Starbuck through the work of art at home, and Katee Sackhoff showed that it was good in something more than acting painting on the walls and canvases that are scattered throughout the room.

Of course, it is possible that some of the works of art have been lost because their attention was attracted to a large painting that looks a bit like a giant portal. Later we discovered that Starbuck has been scribbling this particular image since it was a girl, and foreshadows (among other things) the subsequent death of Starbuck (Spoilers, love!) In “Maelstrom”. Accompanying the poem is a simple and moving love poem on which the pilot wrote, presumably, his fiancee, Zak Adama.

If you are a Starbuck fan, “Valley of Darkness” is a prominent episode because it establishes the character’s destiny even while developing his background and relationships with other characters. Honestly, the fact that Katee Sackoff personally painted the walls and canvas of his character’s old apartment, shows how seriously he led to acting for the show that would later turn her into a family name.

In addition, the first episode of the Battlestar Galactica The miniseries makes it clear that Starbuck has a very close relationship with Commander Adama, who treats her more as a daughter than as a subordinate. Part of this closeness comes from the fact that the pilot was committed to the late son of Adama Zak and is also a friend (sometimes with flirtatious benefits) with the surviving son, Lee. But “Valley of Darkness” makes his dad problems quite explicit when driving home how much Starbuck admired that he finally left, which then led to a closer link with Adama.

Katee Sackhoff’s performance is still one of the best reasons to see (or see again) Battlestar GalacticaAnd her performance is even more impressive when you consider that she continued to develop her character off the screen decorating the old Starbuck apartment. Now, hopefully the actor takes requests. Mrs. sackhoff, could you please? please Paint as one of its space portals?
