15 years ago today, the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×09: Flight Of The Phoenix aired on September 16, 2005 on the Sci Fi Channel in the USA.
This episode was written by Bradley Thompson & David Weddle and directed by Michael Nankin. #BSG15Years.

This is my favourite ep. It was written by 2 of the best writers I know, Bradley & David, who always write amazing stuff for me. This is the 1st time I got to work with the incredible director Michael Nankin. He made this ep special. #BSG15Years

The visual of the Chief with Boomer and the Viper is really beautiful and interesting to me. I think that interplay really gives insight into him, how he sees the things he cares about and how he can be rough and tough but gentle when it’s needed. #BSG15Years

This was so much fun to film b/c @TahmohPenikett is one of the toughest & best fighters I know & this is the only time I’d have a chance at beating him. We got to throw each other around for a day and it’s always fun when you can really get after it with another actor #BSG15Years

But in a real fight between me and @TahmohPenikett, I would come in 3rd 🤣

Great scene and it was blast mixing it up with you one on one, my friend!

I got to go to the construction building and watch them build the Blackbird in stages for filming. We shot this whole episode in sequence, rarely done, and every day the construction people would wheel in the next build of the ship. It was very cool. #BSG15Years

Working with Michael Hogan is always a treat but this scene really stands out for me. The almost completely broken Chief just looking for anything to give him life and the humanity of Tigh coming through as he recognizes that. Hogan is an absolute gem. #BSG15Years

I know Starbuck says “don’t blow up on me, you bastard” but when I watch this scene I say “please don’t blow up on HER, they’ll blame the Chief!” HA. Katee really sells bucking bronco at a rodeo and it’s really fun to watch. #BSG15Years

Roslin’s reaction after Chief removes the nose drape ALWAYS makes me teary 😢
Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) September 16, 2020
MARY! If this scene doesn’t make you cry you may be a robot. @bearmccreary’s music just rips at your soul and the awkwardness between the Chief and Roslin is so very sweet. When @MaryMcDonnell10 lifted that bottle to smash it Chief almost flew out of his boots. #BSG15Years
