If you are a fan of firearms, you will probably spend a lot of time screaming your television because your favorite characters on the screen do a terrible job to blow up your enemies. This is usually the fault of the actor … How, what else would you expect if someone who has never fired a weapon suddenly gives a props and said that he should go crazy? However, Battlestar Galactica ‘S Nicki Clyne (who played the Cally) is the exception of the rule: she said Starlog that she was actually scolded by the director in the premiere of the second season because she had fired her weapon too well!
Nicki Clyne against Zylons
Well, if you know a lot about it Battlestar GalacticaYou know that Cally’s character doesn’t spend much time to fight the show’s iconic robot opponents directly. This is because it is a cover hand that, like colleagues and later husband Tirol, specializes in keeping the vipids of the ship in the air and being fully functional for Galactica’s pilots. Nevertheless, Cally was part of a fire battle in “scattered” and Nicki Clyne so hard for that moment that the director when she started shooting the cylons to Well, “because” Cally has not fired a weapon since basic training! “
If you have not seen “scattered”, you will find a context here: In this episode, some of our characters explore Kobol, a kind of legendary planet that is supposed to be the original birthplace of humanity. Some are temporarily stranded on this planet, while Galactica plays a desperate cat and mouse game with a cylon bases, and most of the action of this episode takes place on board the main ship and the pilot’s Viper cockpit. But there are still a lot of measures on the planet, as Cally discovered when your surveying team is attacked by Bloodthirsty Bots and you have to cover Chef Tyrol.
Understandably, Nicki Clyne wanted to do her big action scene against the cylons just right, and that meant the training: When she put it: This led to director Michael Rymer tasting her for “shot these weapons to Well ”because it would be out of the character for a deck without a character that never saw the fight so well in it. The actor arrived, but she also had a “defense” against the director’s criticism: “I thought, ‘hey, if I Can learn to shoot a weapon so quickly, then it can be sure. “
While Nicki Clyne’s comment might have been a bit in the cheek, she had a point about her character’s first real fire battle with the cylons. A main topic of Battlestar Galactica It is that our heroes are on the back area most of the time and have to learn new skills in the running flight to avoid their relentless pursuer. Cally may not look like a crack shot, but based on how it adapts to some of the dramas that she later bears on the show (including her husband as a secret cylon!), It is completely reasonable to believe that she would be a quick degree with firearms.
We really loved to hear how Nicki Clyne was a little to Good in shooting cylons, but there is only one problem: We are now confiscated with the urge to see the new Battlestar Galactica Restart again for the millionth time. The alternative naturally checks part of the slop, which is adopted for modern science fiction television in different conditions Streaming Services. And we would rather have just shooted ourselves like another cylon before we are satisfied with slop.
