A tantalizing bit
So I was reading some stuff over at Salon, and I came across this review of the BSG episode. You know the one. But it was a funny little aside near the end about Edward James Olmos that made me go "Aha!" and then "uh-oh".
(Bolds are mine)
"For me, the most upsetting scene of the whole episode was the last one, where Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) is crying and adding Starbuck's angel to his model ship, and then suddenly he smashes the ship to smithereens. It was such a devastating scene, since Adama loved Starbuck like a daughter and since he'd been working on that ship since the first season.
And as it turns out, according to Ronald D. Moore's recent podcast, Olmos was improvising, funneling his anger at Sackhoff's impending departure into the annihilation of the model ship, which was actually an antique worth $100K. The prop department had a heart attack, but the ship was insured. Too bad, really -- what better way to inflict revenge on the producers than by landing them with such a hefty bill? You have to love Olmos all the more for that one."
That's the uh-oh right there. If Sackhoff were coming back anytime soon, I don't think EJO would be quite that pointedly pissed. I know that she's said that she has a seven-year contract, but that doesn't mean much other than that they'll pay her even if they don't use her. I think she could be gone for quite a while. Damn.
