The Characters Portal

Characters make the story interesting in all three of the Battlestar Galactica series shows. Each series has no shortage of characters to make every show that has been produced interesting and dynamic. Dramatic changes have been made to the characters of the Original Series for the Re-imagined Series. Boomer in the original Battlestar Galactica was a black man, whereas Boomer in the Re-imagined Series is an Asian woman (and a Cylon). Religion, sexuality, and even nationality are now part of each characters' motives, making Galactica a place that is influenced by real-life situations.

Selected article

Lt. Margaret "Racetrack" Edmondson is a female Raptor ECO aboard battlestar Galactica, and due to manpower shortages often moonlights as a Raptor pilot. Racetrack tends to have a dark, fairly cynical attitude after the Cylon attack. Racetrack accompanied Galactica-Sharon on a mission to destroy a Cylon Basestar in orbit of Kobol by sneaking inside with a nuclear warhead, and soon after witnessed Boomer's attempted assasination of Commander William Adama. Racetrack has unresolved tensions with fellow Raptor ECO Karl "Helo" Agathon. Later, it was Racetrack who discovered the habitable planet New Caprica, when her Raptor strayed from a rescue mission.

Did you know...

...That actress Grace Park, who currently plays Sharon "Boomer" Valerii, originally auditioned for the role of Dualla, and Kara "Starbuck" Thrace? Park originally tried out for Dualla and didn't get the role, but director Michael Rymer liked her performance, and asked her to return and audition for the role of none other than Starbuck. Park was actually one of two finalists for the role, the other being Katee Sackhoff, who ultimately got to be Starbuck.

However, Rymer and the writing team were still so impressed with her that they asked her to join the cast to play Boomer. Grace Park actually never gave an audition for the role of Boomer, because she had already done ones for Dualla and Starbuck and the production team already knew her acting range, but as a result she didn't actually sit down and read the parts of the Miniseries script containing Boomer until after she was cast in the role, so she was surprised by Boomer's revelation as a Cylon at the end.

Quotes

Gaius Baltar: I hear that you've been going off by yourself. "Doing things."
Number Three: Really? Now who would tell you anything about my business?
Baltar: So it's true.
Three: Caprica?
Baltar: Did you know you have some dried goo in your hair? That can happen when you resurrect. You know, now I'm beginning to understand just what you've been doing with yourself all these afternoons.
Three: Do you have any idea of what you are accusing me of?
Baltar: Yes. Intentionally killing yourself over and over so you can download over and over. But death's just a revolving door, isn't it?
