Battlestar Galactica’s Grace Park Talks with MeeVee
March 23, 2007 by Kath Skerry
I have something to confess. I am woefully behind on Battlestar Galactica watching. Three episodes behind to be exact. You all know that this is one of my favorite shows so this is killing me. It’s horrible. But BSG is not a show you can just watch in passing while you are doing other things. So this weekend I have decided that my reward for packing up my apartment for my move next week will be to watch Battlestar Galactica.
My love for BSG is strong, so when I came across this interview with Grace Park over at TV with MeeVee I had to share it. Enjoy.
Lieutenant Junior Grade Sharon “Boomer” Valerii is dead. And yet she just had a baby. Oh, and she’s a robot.
No, this isn’t your typical soap opera. This is a modern-day space opera.
This Sunday, Battlestar Galactica celebrates its third season finale. If the twists and turns of the plotline have gotten you dizzy (like Sharon’s life), then worry not: Grace Park, the actress behind Valerii’s amazing transformation — make that transformations — will bring you back down Earthside. The Korean American actress portrayed no less than three different characters, all of them Cylons (the robotic alien race bent on the destruction of humanity). But somehow, she and the viewers have kept it all straight. In this exclusive interview at the SciFi Channel Upfronts, Vito Delsante chats with Grace about politics, fans, and her love of sci-fi.
How do you feel your character arc has gone this year?
Can I say “out of this world?” Out in orbit and back a few times! It’s been so astounding playing two characters, and then just when one dies, she actually comes back! Add to that having to recreate everything that has happened in that [character’s] time frame. And then the other [character arc] which is seemingly so simple, running around on the planet with Helo (Lt. Karl Agathon, portrayed by Tahmoh Penikett). It just seemed like a nice break from the Battlestar. And the arc that’s developed with Sharon — having a child and a family and ultimately, holding up a candle for hope for the unification of these two races [the humans and the Cylons] that have been so bloodied and destroyed — it’s so beautiful.Are the fans responsive to the show’s political implications?
I love it! And I think that’s what keeps a lot of our viewers interested. Growing up in the States, we’re exposed to political agendas on a daily basis, and if it’s not on our soil, it’s on someone else’s. So, if anything, it’s a forum for us to be able to see what Battlestar is putting out there. It opens the gates for us to discuss whether or not it’s a commentary on us, as a people, and open up the discussion.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your
website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?

For instance, some of the doors will open by rolling up, while
others will swing open like a door. Both of these types can
adjust in even the smallest of space and they
do not require any extra space for opening and closing.
