While all of Ronald D. Moore’s characters Battlestar Galactica Reboot is great, none of them were made as impressed as Starbuck, the hotshot pilot whose life is a complete mess except when she is in a viper cockpit. While the character is well written, it is fair to say that most of why Starbuck is so popular is the woman’s charismatic performance behind the flying stick. Katee Sackhoff gave the best career performance at this show, but most fans do not realize that it is arguably made her best behind -the -scenes acting by designing a set for the “Valley of Darkness episode.”
How Katee Sackhoff brought Starbuck alive without acting
In this early season 2 episode, Starbuck has returned to her planet at home from Caprica along with Hello. There, the Hotshot pilot goes down a memory lane, listening to her father’s old records and reminiscing about their time together. As for Katee Sackhoff, he did the right set in a kind of intimate acting by helping to paint much of the artwork we see on screen, as he effectively broke out more about her personality and relationship with her father and manager Adama.
Part of what makes the Battlestar Galactica Really -make how great the efficient storytelling is, along with scenes that sometimes tell us everything before anyone even talks. For example, in “Valley of Darkness,” we learn a lot about Starbuck’s relationship with her father thanks to her conversations with Hello. But it is arguable that we learn much more about Starbuck himself through the home artwork, and Katee Sackhoff proved to be good for more than acting by painting on the walls and canvases that are scattered throughout the room.
Of course, you may have lost some of the artwork because your coverage has been drawn to one too large painting that looks a bit like a huge portal. Later, we discover that Starbuck has been dodling this particular image ever since she was a child, and she anticipates (among other things) the later death of Starbuck (spoilers, sweetie!) In “Maelstrom.” Coming to the poem is a simple, poignant love poem that the pilot wrote about her fiancée, Zak Adama.
If you are a Starbuck fan, “Valley of Darkness” is a standout episode because it establishes the character’s fate even while it dissolves its background and relationships with other characters. Honestly, the fact that Katee Sackhoff painted walls and the old apartment canvas of her character shows how serious he took her acting for the show that would then make her a home name.
In addition, the first chapter of Battlestar Galactica Miniseries makes it clear that Starbuck has a very close relationship with the Commander Adama, who treats her more like a girl than a sub -manager. Some of this proximity comes from the fact that the pilot is engaged to the late son of Adama Zak and is also friends (sometimes with Flirty’s benefits) with the surviving son, Lee. But “Valley of Darkness” makes her father’s issues quite clearly by driving home how much Starbuck admired the father who eventually left, later leading to a closer bond with Adama.
Katee Sackhoff acting remains one of the best reasons to watch (or re -watch) Battlestar GalacticaAnd her performance is even more impressive when you consider it to continue to develop her off -screen character by decorating an old Starbuck apartment. Now, let’s hope that the actor will accept applications. Ms Sackhoff, could you please, pleasure Paint us as one of your space gateways?
