Teaser

RDM: Hello, and welcome to the podcast for episode fifteen of the second season, "Scar." I'm Ronald D. Moore, executive producer and developer of the new Battlestar Galactica and this week I'm joined by the writers of this particular episode.

Weddle: I'm David Weddle.

Thompson: And I'm Bradley Thompson, and we were very happy to work on this one.

RDM: This is a good one. This is my- one of the standout episodes of the second season, I think. And I'm trying to remember how we- where this episode began in our- our- on our conversations.

Thompson: There was- you had come up with feeling that you wanted to get into the world of the fighter pilot.

RDM: Right.

Thompson: You wanted to see what it was like to sweat down on the deck, and what were their lives like. And David Eick came up with an idea that he wanted to see mano a mano between Kat and- and Kara. Kara's been out of it for a while there may be a new top gun.

Weddle: That's something that Brad and I wanted to do in some ways Act- Act- in some ways "Act of Contrition" was a first stab at that. I know from the day we came on the show Brad and I were talking about we wanted to see the life of the Viper pilots almost from the day they get- time they get up in the morning to around the clock.

RDM: Which is really weird we started also with last year's "Act of Contrition" that you guys wrote as well, which was all about the first group of new- new "nuggets" that would come into- into basic training on Galactica after the Fleet was- was on the run.
