The final season of Battlestar Galactica has begun, so this is our last chance to geek out with Katee Sackhoff over BSG. Oh, who are we kidding? We'll always bring up BSG no matter what other movies and TV show she's in. But then it'll all be Monday morning quarterbacking. Right now there's still time to find out about BSG.

CraveOnline: What surprised you the most about Starbuck's evolution throughout the last three seasons?

Katee Sackhoff: I think what’s surprised me the most is that people consistently depend on her. That shocks the crap out of me. That has always been very interesting to me is that people still ask her to go save the world, like that. It’s constantly interesting for me so, that I think for sure.

CraveOnline: In what ways can we expect her character to evolve this season?

Katee Sackhoff: Well, I think that she will hopefully have a resolution of some sort. I think that that’s something we can finally depend on in a sense or that’s something she might actually finally get. At the same time, I really have no idea. I would love for her to find peace. I think that if there’s any justice in the world that she will actually have that because she’s been through so much hell. I think it’s only fair that she get a little peace toward the end.

CraveOnline: Can you give us any teasers for the upcoming season?

Katee Sackhoff: Well, I think if Battlestar’s any indication at all, in the last four I think that everyone’s going to be very shocked for sure. I think that there is probably going to ruffle a few feathers very well and I don’t think that there’s any way to make everyone happy. I said to Ron Moore from the very beginning, "Please don’t wrap everyone up in a pretty little box, put a bow on it" and he would never do that because that’s not real. Battlestar has always been based on reality and so I think that he will give it an ending that is fitting of that, and make it not pretty, which is hopefully what will happen.

CraveOnline: How are you and the rest of the cast feeling now that the show is really ending?

Katee Sackhoff: Well, I can’t speak for the rest of the cast so I don’t know how they're feeling. As far as how I’m feeling, it’s interesting. There’s a side to me, the selfish side of you that wants to go on and play different roles so there’s an excitement that's I think brewing for everyone in a sense. We get to go off and play these new characters, hopefully, and that’s why you became an actor is to not play the same character for ten years. So it’s kind of nice. I think that it is sad just because the work environment on Battlestar Galactica is absolutely amazing and I don’t think it’s something that comes along a lot. I’ve done so many canceled television shows I can tell you that it's not normal to enjoy going to work and to enjoy the people you work with. So I know that chances are I’m never going to find that again so that’s sad as well. But as far as moving on with the show, I don’t think I’m really going to feel the pain of it until the very end.

CraveOnline: What should we make of the positioning in that terrific Last Supper picture of the BSG cast? Are there any hints there you can tell us about?

Katee Sackhoff: No. It’s interesting that everyone thinks that there’s something hidden in that Last Supper photo like if you look hard enough you can find there's hidden messages in it. To be honest, I think we would have had to have been in on it to create a hidden message and we were all just there having a photo shoot. So, I mean, it is interesting the way people are standing for sure. I mean, the plastic sheath with Anders is interesting so I don’t know. And the fact that they made Tricia the messiah is pretty interesting too. I wish I knew what they were thinking.

CraveOnline: How will you feel if Starbuck turns out to be a Cylon or an agent of the Cylons? Some of the actors who were revealed weren't so happy about it.

Katee Sackhoff: Well, I think the reason the four actors were upset about being Cylons is that I think you play for years making choices as a character and then to realize all those choices you made would have been different had you known. It’s interesting, it’s kind of like you get the wool pulled over your eyes for four years and then lo and behold, your character’s something completely different. But I would be completely indifferent. I have love for this character and I think we all do as far as everyone for their character on the show, but they were pretty angry. I still think Michael Hogan hasn’t come to terms with it. I don’t think he’s ready to accept it yet.
