Katee Sackhoff gets a permanent gig on Bionic Woman

katee sackhoffKatee Sackhoff, who plays Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica, just inked a last-minute deal for a recurring role on NBC's Bionic Woman. She has a guest spot in the pilot as a "bad" bionic woman and you've probably noticed that she has been played up pretty heavily in NBC's promo spots for the new series. But, she only was scheduled to appear in the first few episodes... until last night. Sackhoff and NBC Universal came to a contract deal where her "bad" character will now be a recurring role.

David Eick, executive producer for both BSG and Bionic Woman, is said to have been the driving force behind that deal. Sackhoff didn't show up for this week's TCA panel on Bionic Woman because she was still negotiating a contract. A bold move, really. But not as bold as what Starbuck would've done, which is to show up drunk and start fighting with people who asked her questions about whether she's a Cylon.

I am totally ecstatic to see Katee Sackhoff on Bionic Woman. I had heard about her possibly getting role months back. then when I saw here on the recent promo, I was worried she would be a character for the opener episodes only. I am so glad to hear that she will have a recurring role.

Starbuck cant be taken out so easily. It is her destiny to live on!

The only problem with Katee being on the show is that I will never root for the good girl. If Katee is there, she's the star and I'll be rooting for her in every fight!

Too bad I will not watch any of them because that bastard idiot whose name I will not even say, will be on the show.

And worse yet, I bet they won't tell you what episodes she will appear on, so you'll have to watch every episode to make sure you don't miss an opportunity to see Katie.

Fucking bastards!!!

I'm with ya there, Akbar. I thought I'd probably give Bionic Woman a try, but now I'm going to go out of my way to watch.

Well crap, now this means I will have to watch this. I had planned on watching just the pilot to catch the lovely Ms. Sackhoff.
