I Met Tricia Helfer!

By Jonathan + January 12th, 2006

There isn’t much more to do except to rub in the fact that today I met Tricia Helfer and the chances are pretty high that you did not. Now, I’m not necessarily saying that I’m a better person than you are because I met Tricia Helfer, but that is most likely the case :-)

In case you’re curious, she was in Toronto today doing publicity for Battlestar Galactica on Space and Canada’s Next Top Model which will be airing on Citytv. I sat in on two interviews and we chatted afterwards. She seems like a really down-to-earth person and is geniunely excited to be a part of the Battlestar Galactica series. You could tell she was psyched about season “2B” (the second half of season 2) and dropped a few spoilers while we were talking afterwards. Without giving away too much, if you are a fan, you will not be disappointed this season :D I thought it was cute too that she referred to all the episodes by their number. I mentioned that I had just watched Ressurection Ship (Part 1) (”episode 11″ as she called it) and I think she was glad someone in Canada had so she could talk about it (it hasn’t aired here yet) ;-)

I’ll post a link to the interviews when they get online. UPDATE: Here’s the interview she did for Space. I wonder if I could wrangle meeting Grace Park tomorrow ;-) Some days, it’s great to have my job!

(Thanks Darko)

Dude, that is rad! Especially since you had the chance to chat with her about the show.

Resurrection Ship was so great! Well worth the wait and didn’t dissapoint at all. If anything, has me more stoked on the series than ever before. This is the first time I’ve watched it as it airs - I only got into BSG last summer and played catch up through the fall. I finished watching season ‘2a’ at about the same time it wrapped up in the States. I have to admit, it was much nicer and easier on the nerves to watch the next episode right away if they left off with a cliff hanger. Which they seem to be notorious for.

Best series ever? I think so…

Anyone else coming by CHUM? Any non-Cylons? Be cool to meet Lee or Starbuck.

Did you see Ressurection Ship Part 2 yet?! SOoo good!

I haven’t heard of any other BSG players coming by CHUM any time soon, but there are lots of interviews being filmed with them in Vancouver (some of which are on Space’s website). There’s a pretty good 30-minute documentary on Scifi called “Inside BSG” that’s floating around the web right now too. It’s a good catch-up of where the series is now.

Just heard this week that season 4 is probably a go too. W00t!

Yeah dude, watched it last night. Man it was good! Just after Season 2a ended, I read a spoiler on a message board describing what happened in the original series at this point. Which ended up being exactly what happened in Resurrection Ship Part 2. I was hoping they’d stick to the original here. Shit was going down hill fast!
