In this exclusive talk with Earl Dittman, Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff jokes about the contrast between her life and that of her tough cigar-smoking character, Kara “Starbuck” Thrace, sheds light on the difficulties of living in the shadow of a character that has been portrayed by someone else — who just happened to be male, in 1978’s original run of Battlestar — and explains how a sci-fi show sometimes feels like it’s not fiction at all. Plus: this week’s DVDs and Blu-rays, after the jump.
