I find this article with James Callis delightful because, well, James Callis delightful, but also because the interviewer asks this question:

No character in the series, including Apollo, has reinvented himself as much as Baltar. You went from being the odd ball crazy scientist, to the reluctant politician, to the Cylon puppet king, to the self proclaimed messiah who appeared like Hugh Hefner with religious delusions of grandeur, only to end up, probably, as a very monogamous family man and farmer? All the actors we spoke to were always very jealous of enormous diversity in the character you got to play. Which was your personal favorite?

Aaaaah flappy hands of joy. I love so much the use of the adjective "very" in the part I bolded, because it's such an important distinction, and not because Caprica was going to crack skulls. I love them!

That is a very good interview. I love the photo of the three of them in bed; it's such a strangely moving and sweetly erotic shot, you know? Or erotically sweet....

I also loved this: "After you do something like this.... On some level it's like your options slightly decrease and not increase. Because you really were wedded to something quite incredible. That's essentially the writers, the creators, who made this incredible thing that we could inhabit. Then you read other stuff and it doesn't come anywhere close to the moral complexity, ambiguity, tarnished nature of the human soul. So it's hard finding things that for me have the integrity that this show had. I think that will be a problem for everybody who was involved in Battlestar Galactica essentially."

Especially in the context of seeing Katee Sackhoff on 24, which career-wise probably seems like a smart move, but when it comes to being challenged as an actor or being a part of something high-quality.... those are just totally lacking.

Our canon is an amazing thing. I can't even. <3

(Also, thanks for the link! Aaaah, I want to hug James Callis, especially when he gets all self-deprecating about not being as hot as Tricia and Lucy. DUDE, YOU ARE A SEX BOMB. BELIEVE IT.)

Our canon is the best. It's like it shouldn't even be real in its glory. (Earlier today I had far too much time and created their little farmer family and I LOVE THAT I CAN DO THAT BECAUSE THEY HAD A HAPPY ENDING.)

(He is hot, but... I don't think there's a human being on earth who is as hot as Tricia. But he is adorable when he's self-deprecating. DUDE OWN YOUR AWESOME.)

I love the photo of them in bed because... Gaius and Caprica are snuggling. I'm a bit focused.

I think it must be hard to find projects that can even match BSG in brilliance, let alone surpass. Tricia guest starred on Two and a Half Men, which... I watched it, but I wanted to kill myself.
