LUCY LAWLESS JOINS BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!

~~**~~ Beware spoilers ~~**~~

SCI FI Channel announced that Lucy Lawless has joined the cast of its original series Battlestar Galactica in the upcoming third season. Lawless will become a recurring cast member, reprising her role as D'Anna Biers in a 10-episode arc. The third season begins production in Vancouver, Canada, in April.

Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) first appeared on Galactica in the episode "Final Cut," playing investigative journalist Biers, who arrived on the Galactica to do an expose on alleged crew misconduct that resulted in the death of four civilians. Eventually, the audience learns that Biers is actually one of the human-looking Cylon agents, who was sent to Galactica on a covert reconnaissance mission.

Lawless' second guest appearance will air on Feb. 24 in the episode "Downloaded," which gives viewers their first real glimpse into the Cylon world. (The second half of season two of Galactica premiered Jan. 6.)

Lawless joins a Galactica cast that includes Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Grace Park. The series is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, who was instrumental in originally casting Lawless in the role of Xena. Battlestar Galactica, from NBC Universal Television Studio, airs Fridays at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Thanks to Barbara for getting this press release to us.

Um, creation screwed up. It was "Final Cut" (which will be shown tomorrow at 8am on the sci-fi channel), not "Flight of the Phoenix."

I don't watch Battlestar Galactica, so I don't keep up with what eps Lucy has been in.

Lucy lawless back in space
09 February 2006

Former Xena: Warrior Princess star Lucy Lawless will soon be taking her New Zealand accent back into space.

She is joining the permanent cast of the Sci Fi Channel's space opera Battlestar Galactica, to reprise her role as a renegade reporter, D'Anna Biers, for 10 episodes in the third season of the series.

Her long stint will start filming in April, but in the meantime she will make another guest appearance in the reporter's role in a Battlestar episode to screen in the United States on February 24, the Entertainment Weekly magazine reported on its website.

Lawless said she modelled the Fleet News Service reporter character on one of CNN's most visible reporters, Christiane Amanpour, because she wanted the performance to be "visually annoying".

In the third season of the series, her investigative journalist will turn out to be an undercover agent for the villainous Cylon faction.

Hey Mystic... I get Creation Newsletters, so that's how I get my inside info. As for the link... ProBoards doesn't like certain symbols, so sometimes you can get them to work if you add [noubbc] before the symbol, and [/noubbc] after the symbol to get it to work. If that doesn't work, you have to try something different until you finally find the right combination to get it to work. Or just add the two codes above to the whole URL to make it completely inactive, such as:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3566023a1860,00.html

Here is how I finally got this link to work:

[url=[noubbc]www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,[/noubbc]2106[noubbc],[/noubbc]3566023a1860[noubbc],00.html[/noubbc]][noubbc]http://www.[/noubbc]stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3566023a1860,00.html[/url]

Gives me this:

Of course just because it works at this moment, doesn't mean it will work later on.
