Sorry for the lack of updates, I no longer enjoy regular internet access. However, here's something to read:

Katie Sackhoff, who plays Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica, just inked a last-minute deal for a
recurring role on NBC's Bionic Woman. She has a guest spot in the pilot as a
"bad" bionic woman and you've probably noticed that she has been played up
pretty heavily in NBC's promo spots for the new series. But, she only was
scheduled to appear in the first few episodes... until last night. Sackhoff and
NBC Universal came to a contract deal where her "bad" character will now be a
recurring role.David Eick, executive producer for both BSG and Bionic Woman, is
said to have been the driving force behind that deal. Sackhoff didn't show up
for this week's
TCA
panel
on Bionic Woman because she was still negotiating a contract. A bold
move, really. But not as bold as what Starbuck would've done, which is to show
up drunk and start fighting with people who asked her questions about whether
she's a Cylon.
