Battlestar Galactica -Casting Adama & Roslin (Paley Center)

[BlackMoonLilith]

It took me about two full seconds wondering what Olmos was doing with his hands... and then I remembered Blade Runner and burst out laughing.

[psychicriver]

I absolutely love these two actors. Laura Roslin is one of the all-time best women in television.

[ddiekamp]

I watched this show, simply out of curiosity and was totally unprepared for the level of writing, acting, cinematography and SFX this series brought to the table. Speaking as a huge fan of Star Trek, this is utterly the best Sci-Fi series I've ever seen. Kudos to Ron Moore...he really came into his own after Star Trek with this series. He, David Eick and the entire cast have done a fantastic job!

[runeblade806]

I love that you can hear Starbucks' laugh, she's adorable

[06ThatsME]

Readin this cos of the advert? Least ur not writin ;)

[chapyhappy]

haha i think everyone that has seen this show has added "frak" to there vocabulary! haha..great show,my favorite by far..i look at things differently after seeing this show and no show has ever done that!

[tehoken]

true story, EJO is the best thing that EVER happened to BSG, not only is he an outstanding actor (although pretty much everyone in that show was awesome) when he got the part me made Ron and David sign a contract swearing that they would NEVER go down the stupid campy route the original took, there would be no Aliens, no Time travel, just awesome human Drama. Then on the first day of filming, ya know what line EJO adlibbed?

SO SAY WE ALL!

and THAT ladies and gentlemen is why EJO is the king :)

[adamaroslinfanatic]

@tehoken So say we all!

[DaIVIaJa]

There will never be another show like this one.

[viridismonasteriense]

Halfway through I started wondering, why are they laughing? And then suddenly I remembered: EJO was in that movie! haha! That's so long ago! Fantastic little reference there. This just shows the love they have for the characters they play.

[Zajuts149]

@viridismonasteriense yeah, and he started folding the paper. His character in Blade Runner did origami:)

[scottishgirl2936]

i have that same problem! i cant help saying frack instead of the fuck.

[chaoticzer0]

@scottishgirl2936 haha I am guilty of the same thing

[iv137]

oh i miss the show so badly. do u ppl have the same problem as me. i watshed the show and was so into it that i started saying: gods insted of god, and frack all the time. its realy enoying

[Pribinace]

@iv137 i keep saying frack all the time and i must say that it sounds much better:)

[Brigitte727]

@iv137 yeap, I say frack too, all the fracking time. Also added to my vocabulary the phrase 'so say we all', nobody in the company knows where it came from because they haven't watched BSG, but it sounds OK and when I say it they repeat after me, LOL.

As for the gods part, mm... never even said god -atheist- so I didn't catch that one.

[masteraj57]

@Brigitte727 i say frack alot to now. i don't so say we all because i can never find the right time, but i have been using the polytheism/animist "Gods" since i read Percy Jackson. so it madd me really happy that they used the Greek Gods in this.

[SilverShamrock71]

Nice flares Dave...

Anyone know where I can find interviews where the connection with Blade Runner is expanded on?

[GrissomLovesSara]

@SilverShamrock71 search Olmos Basauri. He and Mary did a convention in Spain and he talks about Bladerunner. I think the video is 8 or 9 minutes long.

[SilverShamrock71]

good one, thanks...

[Knyte77]

@SilverShamrock71 :

One of the best "Blade Runner" moments is the speech that Cavil makes about feeling confined/restrained/limited by the human form. It's the same kind of, "amazingly emotive speech from artificial life" that Rutger Hauer makes at the end of Blade Runner. Makes you question where the line from artificial to "real" gets drawn....or what artificial even means when it comes to sentience.

[SilverShamrock71]

@Knyte77 That's spooky, I haven't so much as thought about BSG in months and tonight I decide to watch The Plan on DVD, nothing on TV and you post this comment... weird coincidence...

Agree with your comment btw

[Knyte77]

@SilverShamrock71: Wow. That's really cool actually. Some say there's no such thing as coincidence! Love it.

[rhatcher010]

I miss this show and everyone on the show. Frak I think I'm gonna cry....

[afropower88]

Olmos is hysterical.

[Hawkes10112]

Couldn't tell you what it is, but i can take a shot at why he did that. I may be wrong but it's the same litlte thing his character did in Bladerunner, he used origami to make little hints about the main character in that.

Like i say though i could be wrong.

[anisangl1]

No you're right, that's exactly why he did it. I must have died laughing when he did, I thought it was hysterical!

[Nifinity82x]

Same, lol!

[TruthAdv]

I don't get it, what is Olmos folding there?

[scottathon]

It's a reference to Blade Runner.
