This week's provocative Galactica eposide explores Cylon secrets
by Ileane Rudolph
It's a rare actor who gets the chance to play a newborn and give birth in the same TV episode.
But that's life for Grace Park, who plays multiple copies of the same humanoid Cylon on Sci Fi Channel's gripping Battlestar Galactica.
Park is pivotal in this week's head-spinning installment of the political drama set in space. A plot twist reveals how one of her copies (murdered sleeper agent Sharon "Boomer" Valerii) comes back to life in a new body. (You can batter, bludgeon and blow up the Cylons, but they don't die easily. Their consciousness simply downloads to another copy.)
On board Galactica, another Sharon - this one's despised, imprisoned and pregnant by her human lover Helo (Tahmoh Penikett) - goes into premature labor. The frail infant, born in distress, is named Hera, after the tyrannical goddess of Greek mythology. The rebirthing scenes are "weird and kind of 'Matrix'-y," Park says.
Galactica's conflicted military and civilian leaders ponder what to do with the hybrid baby, who's looked upon as a possible messiah by the robot race hell-bent on wiping out humanity. "It's so wrong to allow this baby to be born, but it's still a life," Park says of the wrenching moral quandary.
Executive producer David Eick sees the episode, which marks the return of Lucy Lawless as D'Anna, a Cylon spy who had posed as a TV reporter, as a runination on the sanctity of life for the humans and their humanoid nemesis.
"Cylons view themselves as more evelved than humans," Eick says, "but we reveal they are capable of the kinds of failings they criticize humans as [being] guilty of: jealousy, betrayal, suspicion and lies." Not to mention brutality when rebellious Cylons face permanent deactivation.
Park, a charmingly self-deprecating fan favorite who sums up her off-screen personality as "pretty mischievous and bratty," likes Galactica's thrilling second season to a dark and twisty carnival ride.
"The point is to crash, whip your neck around and have your stomach drop," she says with a smile.

Da dürften wohl wieder ein paar Monate ins Land gezogen sein, um zu erklären wie Starbucks Haare so lang werden konnten.
