It is a little slow around the BSG news desk as we all sit, patiently waiting for the return of our fine show! Meret over at the 13th Colony posted some fun trivia tid-bits for your enjoyment:
Some BSG Trivia on IMDB I hadn't seen before
In episode #1.11, in the struggle on the floor of the bar, a beer bottle with the label "Hawryliw" is used by Lee to defend himself. 'Ken Hawryliw' is the property master for the production.
Katee Sackhoff was able to continue wearing her thumb ring while shooting by explaining it away as Zak Adama's ring.
Jane Seymour was offered the role of Admiral Nelena Cain. When she turned down the offer, Ronald D. Moore offered the role to Michelle Forbes and she accepted. [JS played Apollo's wife in the first BSG.]
The characters Tarn and Selix, who first appear in "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 2", were named at the behest of Aaron Douglas, who plays Chief Petty Officer Tyrol. Douglas noted that the two were originally listed in the script generically (Technician 1 and 2) and, recognizing the potential of the two characters, consulted with others in the cast to give them proper names. Douglas then inserted their new names into his lines on every take.
Try breaking this stuff out at the holiday cocktail parties and I am sure you will rock some people's geek worlds!
