BATTLESTAR GALACTICA NEWS
Plot of Lawless's 'Final Cut' revealed
THURSDAY - AUGUST 11, 2005
GateWorld has received brand new details on "Final Cut," an upcoming episode of Battlestar Galactica's second season! The episode will air on Friday, September 9 as the eighth episode of the season.
"Final Cut" will guest star Xena's Lucy Lawless, who will use her native New Zealand accent for the first time on film, according to The SCI FI Channel.
Beware of spoilers for this episode below! The network describes the episode like this:
After a team of marines fire into a crowd of civilian protesters, a reporter (Lawless) is invited aboard Galactica to document the stressful reality of military life during wartime.
Criticism of the military reaches fever pitch when a team of Galactica's marines led by Lt. Palladino (Jeremy Guilbaut) open fire on civilian protesters aboard Gideon, a sister ship. Col. Tigh (Michael Hogan), commanding officer during an incident that leaves four dead and 12 wounded, receives a death threat, then almost falls victim to an act of sabotage. Intent on improving relations between the civilian fleet and the military, President Roslin (Mary McDonnell) and Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) offer Fleet News Service reporter D'Anna Friel (Lucy Lawless) unlimited access to Galactica. With her cameraman in tow, D'Anna interviews a series of stressed-out pilots, crew and officers. Urged on by Number Six (Tricia Helfer), Gaius Baltar (James Callis) hopes to gain the reporter's support in his political ambitions.
D'Anna stumbles on one of Galactica's explosive secrets when she encounters the Cylon Sharon (Grace Park), whose unborn child is saved by the quick actions of Dr. Cottle (Donnelly Rhodes) following a threatened miscarriage. When Louanne 'Kat' Katraine (Luciano Carro), wired on stimulants, crash lands her Viper, D'Anna must decide whether she'll deliver her intended hatchet job or a balanced portrait of life aboard Galactica.
The arrival of two Cylon attack ships clarifies her thinking, as does a potentially deadly ambush that puts Tigh in the gunsights of his would-be assassin.
"Final Cut" was written by Mark Verheiden and directed by Robert Young.
