A quartet of Galactica interviews

Galactica.TV has four interviews up tonight with; co-executive producer Jane Espenson who wrote the upcoming 4.18 episode Deadlock, the most complete transcript of Ron Moore and David Eick's January conference call interview, an interview with Grace Park from last Thursday where she talks about the hectic wrapping of Battlestar, her highlights from the past four seasons, a mention of the movie The Plan and why Katee hates the series finale (I'm joking!), and last but not least...

coincidentally many fans are making comparisons lately between the most recent episode The Oath and season two's similarly action packed Valley of Darkness. In the first two season two episodes, a gung ho Viper pilot Flyboy makes his first appearance diving into a ferocious furball. It is to be Galactica's first ever encounter with a Cylon heavy raider and getting rid of it proves to be a harrowing experience. The damaged raider crash lands into Galactica's starboard hangar bay turned giftshop. A boarding Centurion quickly reacquaints itself with Flyboy by first eviscerating then back flipping him in Galactica's darkened hallways. Terrified Kat, Hotdog and Apollo wear Flyboy's blood spatter for the remainder of the episode.

Galactica.TV has an hour interview with Michael "Flyboy" Tayles from 2006. He relates a candid funny perspective as outsider actor turned insider and talks at length of his before, during and after experiences with Battlestar's production. We hardly knew ya. Of course, Jammer, Kat, Dee and Billy were in those episodes too and now are all dead. Maybe disembowelment by giant killer robot isn't such a bad way to check out after all.
