During early production of [[Season 4]], Sackhoff worked with ''Battlestar'' alumni Executive Producer [[David Eick]] and cast member [[Mark Sheppard]], who played [[Romo Lampkin]], on a re-imagined version of ''[[w:Bionic Woman (2007 TV series)|Bionic Woman]]'' in which Sackhoff played the show's recurring villain, a bionic woman named Sarah Corvus.
