Totally Random: Hot Chicks with Guns on TV
Is it just me, or are there a lot more hot chicks on TV carrying heat lately? (Granted, it’s probably just me, but for the sake of this bit, just go along with it.) You’ve got the gals of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the sci-fi gals of Battlestar Galactica, and there’s the Chuck babe. The Bionic Woman babe. And who else? Sarah Shahi in Life packs plenty of heat herself, though there aren’t that many good pictures of her doing such. Here are a couple of our favorite girls with guns currently on TV at the moment. The Terminator girls, of course, plus the most ass kickingest sci-fi babe on Battlestar Galactica, Katee Sackhoff.
The Battlestar Galactica Girls in Interview Magazine
What do you do when your TV show is about to get canned? Show up in as many magazines as you can, wearing as little clothes as you can without being exploitative, of course. Or, if it turns out to be a tad exploitative, hey, it’s all in the name of art, right? Mind you, not that I’m complaining, even though I don’t really “get” why Grace Park, Tricia Helfer, and Katee Sackhoff, aka the Battlestar Galactica Girls, are riding around in, apparently, the desert on hogs wearing little more than undies and chaps in this latest issue of Interview Magazine. But hey, “getting” the context of things is grossly overrated. Give me a half-naked Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, and Katee Sackhoff anyday.
Katee Sackhoff is Sexy in TV Guide
Katee Sackhoff is sexy. If you haven’t realized that by now, then you just haven’t been keeping track of Katee as she has begun her post-Battlestar Galactia media blitz. Whoever is running Katee’s campaign knows that she needs a makeover in the public eye, not a surprise considering that her character on the show is basically the biggest butch in the galaxy. But Katee Sackhoff the actress is anything but butch. Here’s her appearance in TV Guide’s recent special issue of sexy TV stars. Yummy. I’d battle Cylons for that!
Katee Sackhoff is All About the Sex Appeal in EW
Let’s face it, it wasn’t bad enough that Ron Moore changed the gender of a popular character on Battlestar Galactica from a man to a woman, but when they made the woman a ball-busting, lesbian-ish pilot and cast Katee Sackhoff in the role, it didn’t help matters any. But lo and behold, Katee Sackhoff has since grown on us, and is looking better and better everytime she steps in front of a camera. Katee’s latest foray before the snapping turtle (yes, that’s what I call a camera, what of it?) has yielded some of her sexiest pictures yet. One of those pictures and a video of the EW shoot are below. Shields up, geeks!
The Battlestar Galactica Girls in GQ
I don’t know who is currently doing the promo work for the Sci Fi Channel’s Battlestar Galactica show, but if they had been doing this back in the beginning — slapping its three main attractions, i.e. the girl trio of Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, and Katee Sackhoff on every media outlet they could get into — then the show might have improved on its ratings instead of just being the critical darling, but barely-seen TV show that it is. In any case, it’s better late than never, I guess, and here’s Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, and Katee Sackhoff getting all retro and junk in the latest issue of GQ Magazine. The hair scares me, but I’ll get over it.
The Sci Fi Channel Brings Out the Babes
Who says the Sci Fi Channel doesn’t know how to sell their shows? For their upfront meet and greet with the press, the Sci Fi Channel brought out the big guns — the sexiest gals this side of sci-fi to sell their wares. Amanda Tapping, post-Stargate SG1 and Atlantis (and set to introduce a new show that she’ll produce and star), and of course, there are the Battlestar Galactica babes, Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, and Katee Sackhoff. Battlestar Galactica will be saying bye-bye after this season, but if the Sci Fi Channel is smart, they’ll ink all three gals for new series. Behold — the best parts of the Sci Fi Channel’s Upfront.
Video: Michelle Ryan vs. Katee Sackhoff — Who Ya Got???
It’s Michelle Ryan versus Katee Sackhoff (yes, that’s right, Starbuck herself), here playing the original Bionic Woman, who goes toe to toe with the new Bionic Woman — or should I say, Bionic Girl? Since, you know, the show is clearly setting it up that way: Bionic Woman vs. Bionic Girl! And a chick fight in the rain? Man, that’s all kinds of fine right there! Check out the new “Bionic Woman” when it hits NBC soon. Here’s a clip of the Ryan/Sackhoff fight in the rain. Groovy.
Geek Love: The Babes of Battlestar Galactica
Just because in the future the human race is facing extinction and are being pursued by killer cyborgs of their own making, it doesn’t necessarily preclude sexy babes from showing off. Such is the case of the Sci Fi Channel’s “Battlestar Galactica”, currently considered the greatest TV show ever invented by man EVER. Or some other high accolade that it probably doesn’t really deserve, especially after just three years on the air. But whatever. We’re here to give love to the girls of BSG, and that’s what we’re gonna do. (And yes, there is as reason Mary McDonnell is on the list…)
Katee Sackhoff is one Sexy Starbuck
“Katee Sackhoff is one Sexy Starbuck”? Holy cow, I didn’t know I had a talent for totally unnecessary alliterations. I guess I’m way more talented than I originally thought, or that anyone knew about. Go figure. Anywhatever, here’s Starbuck (aka Katee Sackhoff) all glam up and totally launching a thousand ships in the constricted pants of sci-fi geeks all across the USA and beyond. Okay, I know that Sackhoff’s version of Starbuck is to play her like a major rebel, but come on, this is literally laying down on the job. What if the Cylons attacked now? I mean, come on, she doesn’t even have her clothes. That’s gotta be against military regs or sumthin’…
“Battlestar Galactica” Going Straight-to-DVD?
Here’s news that The Powers That Be, led by showrunner/producer Ron Moore, plans on sending the new BSG onto DVD shelves if the show doesn’t get picked up for a fourth season — or even if it does get picked up, they’ll still do a 2-hour telefilm after the third season. BSG, for those of you who don’t know, is the most depressing show (sci-fi or otherwise) on TV, thus it has achieved universal acclaim from the mainstream press. I personally think the new BSG has its moments, but on the whole, watching it is as depressing as running over my cat with a car, taking a bath in the mud, and then getting beeyatch slap by that slow kid down the block. But what do I know. At least Starbuck and Boomer (aka Katee Sackhoff and Grace Park) are super hot on the show, so that’s two reasons to watch. And yeah, that robot girl ain’t so bad either.
Katee Sackhoff Trades Cylons for “White Noise 2″
Fighting those fanatical God-worshipping Cylons is hard work, which is probably why “Battlestar Galactica’s” Starbuck (aka Katee Sackhoff) is taking time off the grimy and dark as shit TV sci-fi show to star in the upcoming sequel to 2005’s “White Noise”, originally starring Michael Keaton as a guy whose wife dies and comes back to warn him via EVP — Electronic Voice Phenomenon. The sequel is called “White Noise 2: The Light”, and according to Sci Fi Wire, “Sackhoff plays a nurse named Sherry, whose life is saved by a man (Serenity’s Nathan Fillion) who, having cheated death himself after his family is murdered, helps those about to die.” From sexy robots to ghosts. Yup, sounds like good work if you can get it.
“Battlestar Galactica” Season 3 Promos
Oh, those crazy Cylons and their crazy human resistance fighters. They’re about to come back for another battle in Round 3, this time with the humans entrenched in captivity and those Cylon bastards overlordin’ over them. Expect a lot of Abu Ghraib references, Bush Foreign Policy bashing, and all that good Hollywood junk. But damn, does that show have a lot of hot sci-fi chicks or what? Here are some of them in the show’s Season 3 Promos. (And oh yeah, the men are sprinkled in there, too, if you care about that stuff…)
