Adama: Starbuck, what do you hear?
Starbuck: Nothing but the rain.
Adama: Then grab your gun and bring in the cat.
Those words bring instant comfort to anyone that ever watched Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009). And let's face it. There's no such thing as "just watching" Battlestar.
Consuming. Gorging upon. Obsessing. Centering one's life around to the exclusion of all else (sleep, work, shower, food, etc).
It was exceptional on many levels. And one of the characters at it's heart was Starbuck, portrayed by Katee Sackhoff.
Since BSG, she's gone on to other projects, including stints on 24 (2010) and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2010-2011).
Over the past couple of years she's been amazing in her portrayal of the character Victoria Moretti in Longmire on A & E. (What do you mean you haven't watched Longmire? Its one of the finest dramas, with the best use of music, on television today!)
And most recently, Sackhoff was in Riddick (2013). As the character Dahl, we get to see Sackhoff again in all her kick-ass, space-armor glory. (What do you mean you haven't seen Riddick yet? Let go of all the baggage you may have from the first two flicks and give it a viewing, for it even surprised me with it's awesomeness. You can check out my spoiler free review of it right here).
And now, enjoy some images of Ms Sackhoff. She's given us tons of coolness for quite a while now and we hope there are many more years on the way.
So say we all!
