24, and my girl-crushes, for a change :))

[layne67]

It's good to see Dana Walsh again since I thought that we had already seen the last of her. I admit to giving this little squeak of delight, seeing the name Katee Sackhoff appearing on the list of stars. Though I still can't say whether it's just the character or the actress that I like as I've never seen Katee anywhere else before ( I don't watch BSG! ).

Oh my, she really is deliciously evil, isn't she? She'd make a marvellous demon on SPN. Heck, I think I'd even like Ruby 2 if she was played by Katee. That smouldering look, the panther-like grace and the swagger to her walk, her lips! I've said this before but I'll say it again, I totally agree with Katee being the female Dean, as said by lassiterfics here.

Yes, Katee Sackhoff has now officially joined the ranks of my celebrity girl-crushes. Which is slightly different than my celebrity boyfriends as the list hasn't changed much over the years, unlike the BFs. Understandbly so since I don't crush on the girls the same way as I do the guys!

Here be my girls : Gillian Anderson, Annette Bening, Helen Hunt, Ashley Judd and now Katee Sackoff. And oh, Victoria Principal too because you know, Pamela Barnes-Ewing is love.

What about you? Any celebrity girlfriends that you've loved over the years?

Edit : Oh I just remembered, Emily Deschanel aka Temperance Brennan aka Bones!

And Katie Sackoff is AWESOME in BSG! :)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

That's what I heard. Though you know, I'm so in love with the original BSG that it's kind of weird to think of Starbuck as a girl! ( Or is it Apollo? )

Any Katee Sackhoff-centric episodes that you can remember? I might just download those episodes to watch!

I was team!Apollo while watching BSG and frankly the fanbase was divided between Kara (aka Starbuck) and Lee (Apollo) toward the end, there was even some Kara!hate involved (not mine personally, but that of my friends at the time), so I can't say I'm a Katee fan, but even considering that I have to admit that she is a good actress. My measure of quality of acting however is how the actor portrays different characters (take Alec, Dean, CJ from Dawson's Creek, what have you -- those characters are so different I didn't connect them until I checked Jensen's profile on IMDB!). I've seen Katee in BSG and in Bionic Woman and to me those were identical characters, so jury is still out. I gotta see how she plays on . . . is it 24?

Best Katee episodes? Take the pilot and "Scar" (it's late season 2, so if you enjoy the Pilot, watch as the series progresses, don't go ahead), in the latter, especially the scene between Starbuck and Kat in the pilots' briefing room, her demeanor changes so rapidly -- it's awesome acting. I hope it was in this episode, lol, my memory may be a little off. Just watch all the first and second season, this is some awesome storytelling and great characters. And Katee shines. Too bright for the show's good. ;)

I've got girl crushes too: Hope you don't mind pictures:
Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck
,
Tricia Helfer as Six

Grace Park as Boomer

And my favorite: Lucy Liu

[arabia764.livejournal.com]

Susan Sarandon! She's gorgeous. And Honeysuckle Weeks, but you won't have heard of her. She's very English and utterly gorgeous.

[killabeez.livejournal.com]

Annette Bening! She's no.1 on my list. Mary Louise Parker, back when she was in Fried Green Tomatoes. Angela Bassett, Lucy Lawless, and right now, Kim Dickens.

[leelust.livejournal.com]

Katee of course and Ashley too and i don't remember anyone else right now because it's not usual for me to have a girl crash.

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

Sorry to butt in, but I concur with everything you said here, my e-sis!

Scar definitely is a great choice. Thinking back, I still liked Starbuck the best in the miniseries & season 1 (and Layne, if you want to watch BSG, you have to start with the miniseries!) Eventually the writers (and some blame Katee herself) kinda ruined the character for me. Another one of my favorite is "Unfinished Business", but it's controversial because lots of people hated Kara in it.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I'm not an actual fan of Susan Sarandon but I adore her in 'Shall We Dance', that movie which she did with Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez. I love her acting there, her character and she totally outshone both Gere and Lopez! Have you seen it?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Katee was in Bionic Woman? But she didn't play the title character, did she? I saw an episode once but couldn't quite get into it. I kept comparing the new bionic woman to the original Jamie Sommers! I guess that's why I couldn't get into BSG either as I kept thinking of the original one which I love very, very much ( I'm team Apollo! ). But since I'm now a fan of Katee, I might just download the Starbuck-centric ones. I've actually downloaded and seen one but I couldn't make head or tail of it as it was somewhere in the tail end of the final season ( I think ), and also, I need to stop thinking of the original BSG to get into the re-make.

Yes, she's currently on 24 and she got to me right from the very beginning. I remember thinking, when I first saw her, wow, she's quite something, this girl - sex-on-legs, like Dean!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Lol I was searching for links to the miniseries but I found the ones for the original BSG instead! But I managed to get them and hopefully the links still work!

Starbuck and Apollo weren't good friends in the re-make? ( like they were in the original? )

[layne67.livejournal.com]

The pics are lovely! And wow, Katee sure did look kickass there. Are the rest all characters from the show? I'm only familiar with Lucy Liu.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I adore Mary Louise Parker when she was in Duet! I didn't see her in anything else since then unfortunately, but I sure was stoked to find out that she was Jeffery Dean Morgan's girlfriend. Pity they broke up because I totally approved of that pairing!

And I adoreadoreadore Annette Bening. I love her laugh especially, that smile of hers is totally heart-melting. I've watched these more than once - The American President ( epic flail ), Mars Attack ( so cute! ), Love Affair ( *dies* ), Being Julia ( awesome! ), Regarding Henry ... I'm not really a fan of The American Beauty but I still love her in it!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

it's not usual for me to have a girl crash.

Me neither actually but those that I have I keep! Unlike my men-crush as they keep on rotating/changing over the years. Jensen is by far the longest that I have in my Top 5, more than 2 years and still going strong!

It's a pity that Ashley Judd is not around so much now :(

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

Yes, Tricia Helfer and Grace Park both play major roles in the show, and they're wonderful, and so is Mary McDonell, who plays Laura. Katee is kick-ass as Starbuck.

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

Lucy isn't on BSG, but she's been my favorite actress for a long time.

[killabeez.livejournal.com]

Did you ever see Annette with Denzel in The Siege? Kind of a blah movie, but I was really into her character -- wish she'd gotten a spin off of her own!

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

Oh no, they are the best friends, competitors, and...

I don't think it's spoilery to tell you that Kara (Starbuck) was engaged to Lee (Apollo)'s younger brother Zak who was killed while flying a Viper. Zak's death also estranged Lee from his father Bill who was absent during the most part of their lives (pursuing his military career). Lee and Zak was close because Lee looked after Zak growing up.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

No, not yet, but I'm in the process of collecting all of her movies. I can't wait to get my hands on Mrs Harris and Richard 3. I'll put The Siege at the top of my To Buy list!

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

No, no, no! You gotta watch Lee centric ones as well! *pout*

One of the most important Lee centric episode is "Bastille Day" (season 1 episode 3). It's critical in understand Lee. That's also the first episode the original Apollo (Richard Hatch) made an appearance as Tom Zarek -- a very interesting and complex character.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Now that sounds a lot like these two other brothers that I know, what'retheirnames, Sam and Dean or something?

:D

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

Heee, you didn't recognize Tricia Helfer? The one in red dress underneath Katee. She was Molly in SPN's "Roadkill".

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Well, I was Apollo's girl so if the new one could live up to the old one ... ;)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Omg she looked so different! Did you squee when you first saw her in Roadkill?

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

Ha! Lee and Zak are no where near as close as Dean and Sam. Although I did saw several fanfics where people slashed them. \o/

In BSG, it's implied Zak worshiped his big brother and was a lot closer to their father than Lee was.
