Kateee Sackhoff is best known for the Battlestar Galactica Restart series in which she played an Ace Viper Pilot. The show always emphasized that its character was more at home in a cockpit than somewhere else because she was a talented pilot, whose personal and professional life was always in constant chaos. The fact that Kateee Sackhoff’s character was at home as a pilot hateful Your Viper scenes.
Katee Sackhoff and her Viper
Kateee Sackhoff looked back on her most famous scenes and said very bluntly: “I despise (the Viper cockpit scenes).” One of the reasons why she hated these scenes is that “it is very uncomfortable in this narrow space”. That makes a lot of sense. The action already includes the performance in relatively small sets and the extent in a tiny cockpit appear a difficult work.
Katee Sackhoff apparently went into her frustrations and continued her passionate joke over Viper scenes: “Suddenly you are claustrophobic, they are hot and sweaty and then they are cold, they have to pee, they need water, but you can’t drink it, Because you have to pee again. “These are very understandable concerns, and we now have a lot more respect for what the actor has endured to bring our coolest scenes on the show.
Katee Sackhoff had concentrated on the purely mechanical concerns about the filming of the cockpit scenes, but she finally turned to something that is the most Battlestar Galactica Love fans: The Viper pilot uniform. According to the actor, “you have this rubber supreme suits and you stay at the seat … big!” This is certainly something that most cosplayers who try to reproduce this iconic uniform do not think about it before they prepare to embark on the comic over.
As it turned out, Kateee Sackhoff also hated her Viper scenes due to temperature problems in the cockpit. “Then the wind is in your face and you sleep in because it is so hot,” she said. Based on this description, these scenes were the worst in both worlds, whereby the actors had to fight either with sleep -inducing heat or distracting wind, both of whom bother the ability of the actor to do their work.
When Kateee Sackhoff spoke of the actor’s job, he touched the fact that her Viper scenes, combined with the technical terms that the authors used, often made it difficult for her to prepare for scenes. “You try to memorize all of this dialog -50 sides -all of these technical mumbo jumbo,” she said. There is a little irony here Star Trek: The next generationA show in which the actors were famous for the “technobblen” dialogue that they had to say in order to make these action lines of the 24th century plausible.
Katee Sackhoff ended her rant and described her recurring thought when she filmed these Viper scenes: “Break my knee again, please.” This relates to the fact that her character is injured after she subsequently injured her ship “You Can’t Going Home”, and for the rest of the season she is on crutches, something that sackhoff as “the best What happened, explained what happened in season 1. ”She only flies again in season second, and although this disappointed many fans, it sounds as if the actor after the days longed when her character didn’t have to fly the not so friendly sky.
For the first time we heard that Katee Sackhoff hated to film her Viper scenes, it was a disappointment. Finally Starbuck was our favorite Battlestar Galactica The character and their pilot cups were particularly unforgettable. However, when we heard them about the rotating conditions, we cannot help but sympathize with everything she has done to bring our favorite scenes to life. And all of this is just a proof (not that we needed it) that Sackhoff is just as much a hard and stubborn woman as her most famous figure.
