A Brilliant Boomer

The SyFyPortal has this article about Boomer: (There might be some spoilers)

Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell clearly provide the veteran starpower on the SciFi Channel's new "Battlestar Galactica." Fortunately, however, series creator Ronald D. Moore knows he's got one fine ensemble on his hands, and the two heavyweights never overshadow the other cast members.
Each of the cast members have made their own unique contributions over the course of the show's first season. But, without a doubt, it is Grace Park who has simply become the series' standout talent.
The fact that Park and her character are so central to "Battlestar" is, on one level, surprising only that she seems like such a new actor -- she is listed last in the show's main title credits.
However, while she is certainly hasn't been around as long as Olmos or McDonnell have, Park isn't exactly new to observant science-fiction fans. She's guested on episodes of "Dark Angel," "Stargate SG-1," "The Outer Limits," and other shows. In fact, she appeared as a recurring character, Fran, in the short-lived UPN series "Jake 2.0."
(Then, of course, there's the confusion between Grace Park and actress Linda Park who plays Hoshi Sato on "Star Trek: Enterprise." So much so that at least one sci-fi fan site mistakes Grace Park for Linda Park. For the record, in an interview, Grace Park says the two actresses are not related.)
