IGN TV: At Comic-Con, Edward James Olmos said this season is the darkest stuff you guys have ever done. Would you agree with that? Sackhoff: Very true, very true. What I have seen so far, up to episode four, is extremely dark, and a little unnerving. There are moments where you're like, "Oh, my god!" You see characters going through certain things, and characters dying, and characters just at utter loss; they are at a breaking point, or they might have past that breaking point, and now they are trying to hold on to their sanity. Which might be the only thing that they have left!
IGN TV: What are Kara's feelings on the Battlestars having left New Caprica? Sackhoff: I don't think she cares. I think she is so happy to have a different life, and to be able to forget all the things she did, and all the things she hade done to here, all the mistakes she made, and start over. She of course misses Admiral Adama, but the rift between her and Lee is so big, that she has moved on. There is nothing left there.
IGN TV: When you guys filmed the finale last year did you guys know exactly what had caused the huge rift between Lee and Kara? Sackhoff: No, we had no idea. So I was making stuff up in my head. And it didn't come close to what they had! What they had was so cruel, I was like holy s**t, no wonder he hates her! I get it! And no wonder Col. Tigh is saying, "Nice move, kid!"
IGN TV: That was a fun change to see you and Tigh being so friendly. What was it like to play that after all the times you guys had to play such animosity? Sackhoff: It was weird! It was so weird. We hadn't even been in a scene where we had smiled together, let alone hugged, and been like, "Hi, I miss you!" So we were both like, "This is weird " It's good. I actually get to have scenes with him now where we're not fighting, which is nice, but it is definitely odd. Michael Hogan is an absolutely brilliant actor, so anytime I get to work with someone of that caliber I get excited. We've come up with some fun stuff this year.
IGN TV: In the first two seasons, was there a storyline Kara went through that really surprised you? Sackhoff: Yeah, [the episode] "Scar." I didn't understand "Scar" at all! I still don't. [Laughs] I still don't understand how a rookie pilot can all of a sudden just wake up one day and just be better then the best pilot in the Fleet. It's just me; call me crazy! But that's the way I work, I guess. If you sit here and think about what these characters go through on a daily, weekly, monthly basis, you want to cry for them. It's really, really tragic the things that they go through, the things they are forced to do, and then they are actually asked to wake up and keep going. Which is hard especially when you don't know where you are going to end up. You know what you are fighting for, because it is tangible it is right there; but you don't know when it is going to end. Its like, "Is this my life?",' which is really frustrating I'd guess. It's sad when you think about that.
IGN TV: Because the show is so intense do you guys try to keep a light hearted mood on set and not let it get too down? Sackhoff: I don't really think about my job that much.[Laughs] I'm sorry, I guess that makes me a horrible actress, but I don't think about it. As soon as the say "action" I do my job and as soon as they say "cut", I'm like, "What's up? Who wants to go watch a movie in my trailer?" I try not to think about it too much. It's what I do for my job, but I don't want it to consume my life. It is very light hearted; that is the long answer to that question. Someone asked me that the other day; They had met me and said I was so different from my character in real life. And I was like, "Well, yeah!" And they asked if I stayed in character all the time [on set. And I was like, "Look, that would be so tiring, I think I would hurt myself." Because there is no way I could stay in that mind frame all day long, I would be miserable. So I think as a way to protect myself, I turn into Katee again, all the time.
IGN TV: You'd also have a lot more hangovers if you stayed in character Sackhoff: Oh God, could you imagine? I'd show up to work, and they would be like, "You're fired!", and I'd be like, "No, no, no! I'm in character! What is your problem?"
IGN TV: So there is any chance you and Tricia [Helfer] might get a rematch this season? Sackhoff: Tricia and I fight all the time at home. [Laughs] No, no chance whatsoever. I don't think I have had a scene with Tricia this season. IGN TV: Is that strange for you guys? Because many of the actors are pretty disassociated as far as their characters go. Sackhoff: Yeah, it's funny too, because Tricia and I are such good friends, that we actually see more of each other when we are not working; like when the season is over, which is quite interesting. Same thing with James. I don't see James [Callis] unless we all go out to dinner together. Yeah, it is weird. Most of my scenes have been with Jamie [Bamber] and Tahmoh [Penikett] and Grace [Park] this year.
