Tahmoh: No, no. Oh, yeah. It probably was, actually. | |||

Tahmoh: I did bring in my own. | |||
Grace: Yeah. | |||
Tahmoh: Yeah. | |||
Grace: And your own shoes. | |||
RDM: Now, Tahmoh, have you boxed before. | |||
Tahmoh: Yeah... yeah, I've boxed for years just for exercise. I've never really done it competitively. I spar a lot, but I've actually been more into kickboxing that boxing, but always been a huge fan of it. Of most fighting art forms and martial arts. | |||
RDM: Mmhmm. | |||

Tahmoh: Mmhmm. | |||
RDM: Because that's the whole thing. That you really had to sell the mood and the feeling of a boxing match. Not just down in the gymnasium or something. And when I walked in there it was just like- it was- it felt so perfect. And the way everybody was hanging out around the boxing set- | |||
Grace: Yeah. | |||
RDM: -felt authentic. | |||
Grace: (Laughs.) | |||
RDM: People were into the boxing of it all. | |||
Tahmoh: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, well, I mean, to be honest with you, when I heard about this episode and I knew we were gonna do it, you and I were discussing this before but- I mean, originally I was written, I was holding pads in one scene and I was so depressed. | |||

Tease
RDM: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the podcast for episode eight of season three of-
Grace: Battlestar Galactica!
RDM: -Battlestar Galactica. This is "Unfinished Business". I'm Ronald D. Moore, developer and executive producer of the new Battlestar Galactica and I'd like to welcome you to an interesting podcast. We're up in Vancouver for change, at the- Terry and I's apartment, and we are joined by...
Grace: Grace Park
RDM: and...
Tahmoh: Tahmoh Penikett
RDM: as well as...
Terry: Mrs. Ron.
Grace: (Laughs.)
RDM: All here to tell you about this particular episode, which is actually one of my favorite episodes of the entire series, in all honesty.
Terry: Mine too.
RDM: This episode has a unique history within the show in how it was developed. It was really unusual and unlike any other episode we ever did.
Terry: (Unintelligible.)
RDM: This episode comes directly out of the finale from last season, in which we took the year leap forward. And then had the Cylons come and played out the occupation storyline. Well, there was always a knowledge that, "Ok, well what happened in the missing year?" That's the key question. You make this year ahead leap in chronology and the fun of it is not knowing what happened in the intervening year. Are you ever going to go back and talk about those events? And I really wanted to.
