Oh to watch this scene now, knowing what we know … Ha “I am NOT a Cylon!” I wish I had an outtake where I looked at the camera and said “and neither are you Colonel…” 🤣 #BSG15Years

A few hours into shooting I said “hey! I should have a sling. I was shot in the previous episode”. The director and 1st AD agreed. So we had to go back and reshoot everything. Then I tried for a nap but got rag dolled by Grace and stabbed in the neck by @jamescallis. #BSG15Years
This scene is a sentimental favourite of mine because it’s the first scene I’d ever watched of BSG.
When I met Aaron I had no idea who he was, I had no idea what BSG was (scroll a few posts back for that story). The following week after meeting him I was on vacation in NYC. While I was getting ready to go out to dinner with a friend I thought “let me check out that tv show that guy is on”. I turned on the tv and started flipping through the channels looking for BSG.
It was a new episode. People are shouting insults at a woman in handcuffs being led down a hallway. There he (Aaron) is, walking behind her. So yay, I’ve found the show. And then a 12 year old steps out and shoots the woman in handcuffs. And as she’s dying in his arms she says “I love you, Chief”. I messaged Aaron and asked him if his character loved her too. He told me I’d have to watch the show and find out for myself. So when I got back home to Australia I started at the miniseries and was instantly hooked.
I think this might explain why I’m such a die hard fan of Chief and Boomer because finding out if he loved her was my reason for watching BSG. Chief & Boomer ❤️
