LA con day 2

Only made it to sun and it was half the size of last year due likely to the stargate con in the next ballroom and the lack of star power this year…jamie was cool and talked for an hour but a bit long winded in his answers but he just likes to talk and explain things in detail which is cool( I recall James Callis last year doing it as well…i think its just part of british culture)…he took questions talking about his recent time flying with the blue angles, no more towel scenes, not being in a flight suite anymore,how hard and long(that’s what she said) it was to wear the fat suite…he gave a kid who has a school play where he’s british a good exercise in gaining an english accent by holding your nose ,talked a little about the strike and how he’s looking around for new roles to play…I guess he now lives in LA and wants to stay home more with his family…talked about filming band of brothers and how realalistic it was in terms of shooting,weather,conditions ect…said he liked how razor came out, also shared about a film he did hornblower it was his first gig and he memorized and kept the call sheets! Talked about his passion for shakespeare and he would welcome a chance to do it in the states…

katee who also had an hour was beautifull of course came out and said she was nervous and seemed shy but in such a cute way…she had mugs she had made for a cast/crew rap party and brought 2 of them to give away after 2 trivia questions were answerd…one was “what was the name of the town where starbuck had her dream in the ep w/leobin” i couldn’t hear the answer…and the other was what’s the actors name who played Aaron Doral…answer:Matthew Bennett…the mugs said " frack off love starbuck" and told both people who won them after she signed them not to wash in the dishwasher! then she went into a stoy about using dish soap in her washer and getiing bubbles all over her hardwood floors and her dogs licking the stuff up…she then went on to say she just got done shooting and she feels strongly they will finish the whole series and that it makes sense finacally for tv syndication to have an entire series instead of half of one but if it only goes till the first half the ending they have will work…she then mentioned how bionic’s rating are real low(shocker) and she’s not sure how much longer she will even remain on it…she said she gets recognized for her character on that show mostly and when asked “do you play sarav Corvus?” she says no i play starbuck! and the whole room of course burst out in applaulse…she then took lots of questions where she talked about lots of scenes w/leobin next season, more with the president and they start to disagree and differ to get to the point where they agree,have the same goal or something like that,felt bad for the film crew who are out of work, looking forward to moving on with her career and doing other things,wished she could give spoliers and she was the first to sign a confidentiality agreement,told her “omah” story which was about her and tahmoh(who was a guest on sat) going out for sushi and drinking beer than saki and going to a club where they drank “omah”, got shitfaced and the paparazzi showed up and tahmoh started to jokingly kiss her & lick her neck right in front of the cameras…some other stuff but nothing about the show or character that is vital…oh said said she like razor but she only worked 3 days on it and it fely weird with only a few of the other actors all together…and told how Sthepanie Jacobsen is a bit short and light and she was supposed to drag starbuck in a scene but they ended up doing the opposite…the best was when someone asked what kara thinks if/when she finds out anders is a silon…her responce was “well think about that duracell battery comercial with the pink bunny,you know it keeps going ang going and going”
well beside the usual music videos,raffles, and tables of shirts,pohotos,memorabilia that was about it…i hoped this is some sort of a helpfull recap for anyone interested and sorry for my spelling,grammar and for not having anymore detailed info…frack on!

I actually ended up going as well to Sunday. I got there late (I had a field trip to the Getty) and only caught the last 45 minutes of Katee’s Q&A. I still think it was worth it.

She answered some great questions. This one being my favorite:
“How does Kara’s love for Sam differ from her love for Lee?”
Her answer was really revealing but before she started Jamie Bamber popped out of a closed off area next to the stage and yelled something to the effect “careful what you say cause I’m listening!!”

It was great. Anyway, her answer was that she truly loves both as well as Leoben. She went on saying that she really does love Anders, but in a more brotherly, camaraderie type way. She sees him as a best friend. She loves Leoben because she said Kara can truly be who she really is, not holding anything back with him. She can let all the good and all the bad hang out with him. And finally, she said that Lee really has Starbuck’s heart and she sees Lee and Starbuck as soulmates.

I think the most shocking thing was her mention of Starbuck actually loving Leoben.

more later.

Wow, I’d like to know more about that. I wonder what this means for the storyline in Season 4?

And maybe one day Audra will admit her love for Brother Cavil.
(makes kissing noises and runs away)

The Starbuck/Leoben relationship has always caught and held my attention. When those two are onscreen together it’s a case of not wanting to take my eyes off of the scene. They’ve got a really intense chemistry going on, those two ! Sometimes it’s kind of creepy, and sometimes just fascinating as Leoben opens Kara’s eyes to her own potential, but it’s always interesting.

Huh. I never thought of it as chemistry (probably didn’t want to ) but you’re right.
