Okay, it's not Starbuck, but Katie Sackhoff, who plays/played Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica will star in a TV movie for Lifetime called Be Careful What You Wish For. Sackhoff will play a teenager named Sara Jacob who is sent twenty years into the future after an eclipse where she discovers she's married the boy she's had a crush on since preschool. Later, it's found out the boy is a cylon, so Sackhoff's character blows his head off.

Or something like that. Anyway, the movie will premiere on Lifetime on July 16. It will also star Sage Brocklebank of Psych, Kim Poirier, and Tommy Lioutas. If you're like me and projectile vomit your internal organs if you watch Lifetime for more than ten seconds, you can also catch Sackhoff in a guest role on NBC's upcoming pilot: a re-imaging of The Bionic Woman starring Michelle Ryan.

Everybody's wondering whether BSG is going to suck this year since the season finale seriously altered the direction of the show. You can get a sneak peek of the season three premiere (which airs on Friday) over at SciFi's website and decide for yourself. The first 13 minutes of the episode, or the "First Act", is available for viewing. It basically answers the question, "What will happen next?" You'll see how the humans and Cylons are living/interacting on New Caprica. I'll just say that everybody seems to be working on their own method of survival... and Starbuck seriously kicks some ass.

Based on just those 13 minutes, I'd say BSG fans don't have anything to worry about. Then again, I liked the turn the show took at the end of last season and I like what I see so far.
