Battle Star Galactica Pegasus Movie notes:

[jeffreyab]

The next BSG project is a movie about the Pegasus.
Below is a tenative cast list and some ideas.

The Pegasus had a crew of 1752 souls including:


Tricia Helfer ... Pegasix
(not actually included in the 1752 and her role before coming a prisoner should be interesting.)

Michelle Forbes ... Admiral Helena Cain
Some insights into what lead to her making the decisions she did.

Graham Beckel ... Colonel Jack Fisk Executive Officer
How a morally ambiguous person rose to his position

John Heard ... Barry Garner Chief Engineer
An honorable and technically competent man in over his head.

Fulvio Cecere ... Lieutenant Alastair Thorne Counter Intelligence
Was he regular Fleet or an amateur press ganged onto the ship?

The supporting cast:

John Pyper-Ferguson ... Capt. Cole 'Stinger' Taylor Carrier Air Group Commander
Stefanie von Pfetten ... Capt. Marcia "Showboat" Case
Brad Dryborough ... Lt. Hoshi Bridge Communications Officer
Jamie Bell ... Lt. Steve "Red Devil" Fleer Viper Pilot
Kavan Smith ... Lt. Richard 'Buster' Baier Raptor Pilot
Tammy Hui ... Lt. Lyla "Shark" Ellway Raptor ECO
Aaron Pearl ... Ensign Abel Thornton Bridge Operations Officer
Kurt Max Runte ... Ensign Charles Bellamy


Vincent Gale ... Chief Peter Laird Flight Deck Chief
Big story here about a civilian engineer forced to leave his family to almost certain death and take a key role on the Pegasus.

Kimani Ray Smith ... Pegasus Sergeant
Michael Jonsson ... Pegasus Guard #1
Derek Delost ... Crewman Specialist Vireem
Mike Dopud ... Crewman Specialist Gage

Is anyone not here and who should not be?
My friend Steve said the way Cain built the Pegasus' crew by press ganging civilians on board and leaving their friends and families behind she would end up with "death commandos" and I replied that is pretty much what she got.

The movie should be somewhat similar to the mirror universe episodes of Star Trek in tone. Familiar roles and setting, the crew of a battlestar at the fall of the colonies but with a different set of results.

Brad Dryborough ... Lt. Hoshi Bridge Communications Officer

Really? An Enterprise homage? Surely not!

[jeffreyab.livejournal.com]

Good point, Surely Yes?

Since the producers also worked on Trek not too surprising.

Ron Moore worked on ST's TNG and DS9 and VOY and is a big Trekkie according to IMDB.

so I'm assuming you saw this week's battlestar. interesting, no?

[jeffreyab.livejournal.com]

Interesting? Yes!, see earlier post.

I mean the New Caprica resistance against the Cylons was being run by Cylons!

I mean that there are two Cylon hybrid children and I believe even more out there, including Starbuck.

I think the Five intermarried and spread Cyloness through the Colonies.
