For those of you that don’t use Instagram (yes, I’m looking at you Aaron Douglas. Ha!), here are the videos (strung together) that SyFy and SyFy Wire posted of Aaron on their Instagram Stories to promote the BSG Marathon that is currently airing on the SyFy Channel (April 20-23).

BATTLESTAR GALACTICAST: Aaron recorded his 3rd episode today

This morning Aaron Douglas, Michael Trucco (Anders) and Rekha Sharma (Tory Foster) recorded an episode of Tricia Helfer’s BATTLESTAR GALACTICAST podcast for episode ‘3×20: Crossroads (Part 2)’. This is Aaron’s 3rd appearance on the podcast. His first was for ‘2×09: Flight Of The Phoenix’. The 2nd was for ‘3×16: Dirty Hands’ which should be out next week. And if they keep releasing a new episode once a week then the one he just recorded should air the last week of May. You can listen to all the previously released podcasts at https://www.syfy.com/tags/battlestar-galacticast or https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/battlestar-galacticast/id1445475337.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: BSG Marathon – Battlestar Bites (Part 1)

The BSG cast pre-recorded video interviews with Tricia Helfer. So throughout the BSG marathon airing on SyFy (April 20-23) they are playing little snippets from the interviews during the episodes. With a huge THANK YOU to Brenda, here is a couple of Aaron’s video clips. The quality isn’t that great because she recorded her laptop screen with her cell phone. But I don’t mind. I’m just happy I’m able to see them at all because I live in Australia and the marathon is only airing in the USA.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: BSG Marathon – starts tonight at midnight

The BSG Marathon starts TONIGHT (Sun April 19) at midnight ET (Sun night / Mon morning) on SYFY and ends on Thursday April 23 at 9:30am. Attached is a list of when the episodes will air according to the schedule on the SyFy website. The marathon will be hosted by Tricia Helfer and there will be a “number of surprise guest appearances” airing throughout the marathon.

I don’t know if they’re going to give everyone a heads up on when the individual interviews with the cast will air or if you’re just supposed to watch and be surprised. I assume it’s the latter because the whole point of the marathon is to encourage people to stay home and watch. The schedule has a new episode airing every hour (on average an episode runs for 44mins) so maybe they’ll break the interviews up into snippets and insert them in during the episodes along with some commercials (???). I honestly have no idea how it’s going to work. I would hope that they’re only airing the interviews on the SyFy channel in prime time because they can’t expect people to watch for 3 and half days straight so that they don’t miss out on an interview airing at 2am. Or maybe they’ll re-air the same interviews a few times (????).

If you can, I suggest that you DVR the marathon and then you can fast forward through the episodes looking for the interviews. And hopefully at some point in the future they will make those videos available to watch on the SyFy website or YouTube channel. And if you do watch it live, please let me know what ends up happening with the interviews. I live in Australia and can’t watch it.

DIRK GENTLY: Gordon Rimmer’s car on NANCY DREW (???)

The back of the car is the same.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: BSG Marathon – Tricia wants questions

Tricia Helfer is starting to pre record interviews with the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA cast that will air during the BSG marathon on SyFy (refer to the post I made yesterday about that). Today (April 8th) she is interviewing Aaron, Bamber, Trucco and Tahmoh and she wants questions. DO NOT POST YOUR QUESTIONS HERE. SHE WILL NOT SEE THEM. I’m just giving you a heads up that she wants questions. She’s already posted on twitter about wanting question for Bamber. So I assume she will do the same for Aaron and make a tweet asking for questions for him. His interview is at 2pm (PDT). So get your thinking caps on and keep an eye on her twitter https://twitter.com/trutriciahelfer

 

Update: You can submit your question(s) for Aaron here https://twitter.com/trutriciahelfer/status/1247962601113280512

BATTLESTAR GALACTICAST: Aaron recorded his 2nd episode yesterday

Yesterday Aaron recorded an episode of the BATTLESTAR GALACTICAST podcast (3×16: Dirty Hands) with hosts Tricia Helfer & Marc Bernardin. The last podcast that aried was 3×12. And they usually release a new podcast once a week. So Aaron’s episode should air in the last week of April. But I’ll make a post about it once it airs so you don’t miss it. This will be the 2nd Battlestar Galacticast episode Aaron has been on, the first was for ‘2×09: Flight Of The Phoenix’ which you can listen to here https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/battlestar-galacticast/id1445475337.

It was great to be out filming in nature, especially because we got to shoot in the day time with no rain. 😁 Michelle and I tried to get to this location when we did our #BSGFilmingLocations hunt but it’s private property and we couldn’t get to it. Boo. #BSG15Years

This scene starts a good long run of really tough stuff for Chief. Grace is so damn good in this scene. When you have a great actor giving you everything they have it is so much easier. Thank you Gracie. Although, I could’ve done without the “You’re dismissed Chief”😉 #BSG15YearsX

It was fun to leave the sets behind for a couple of days, wear different clothes and shoot at the Chan Centre at UBC. One thing about music scenes is, there’s no music. They play a little, yell action, the music stops and you dance like idiots to silence. #BSG15Years

Chief checks his watch to see how long Cally has sat there being useless is probably my favourite ad-lib. 😉 Seriously though, Bradley and David are two of my favourite writers and although I didn’t have a lot here they gave me gold in Flight of the Phoenix. #BSG15Years

GARAGE SALE MYSTERIES #16 (Searched & Seized): Airing on CTV Drama

What the frakking frakkity frak. Aaron’s GARAGE SALE MYSTERIES movie aired on Sunday night (March 8, 2020) in Canada and we had NO IDEA. This movie wasn’t even on my radar because I never thought it would ever see the light of day. Four new GSM movies were being filmed in Vancouver in early 2019. They were movies 16-19. Aaron is in movie 16, they had one week left of filming on movie 17 when Lori Loughlin was arrested for her involvement in the ‘college admissions bribery scandal’. As a result, the Hallmark Channel severed ties with her and edited her out of the remaining S6 episodes of WHEN CALLS THE HEART. All of that happening is why I thought the last completed GSM movie would never be released.

The CTV DRAMA website says the movie is “Stream Anytime”. So if you’re in Canada, go here https://www.ctvdrama.ca/Shows/Garage-Sale-Mysteries-Searched-And-Seized and click on the VIDEO tab and it will ask you to “Sign in to watch” and it gives you a list of service providers (Bell, Rogers, Shaw, Telus, etc). I’ve had Aaron check that this works and he has confirmed that it does. Now, if I can just get him to give me his login and password so I can watch it too 😉 The movie is also airing on tv tomorrow at 12 noon if you want to set it up to record.

There is also a ‘CTV Drama Channel’ app that you can download via the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).

 

Synopsis: Every year, Jennifer and her friend Miles Wexford participate in the organization of an auction of goods seized by the police. The night of the auction, Miles is found dead in his store. Every clue points to suicide, but there is more to it. Jennifer learns that he was in serious debt due to a gambling problem.

Synopsis: ‘Searched & Seized’ finds Jenn’s friend Miles running a police auction that features items seized in a money counterfeiting operation. When Miles turns up dead, Jenn suspects he may have gotten involved with criminals to solve his debt problems.

Synopsis: When Jennifer agrees to buy antiques at an auction for a friend, she gets thrust into a murder investigation.

A thing I love about seeing all these clips is I’m reminded of just how incredible our set builders, set dec, props, VisFX, etc were. There’s real detail in everything. Every screen worked/had a computer running something that was real for the scene. So frakking cool #BSG15Years

I’ll never forget the first time I saw the Raider. I walked into the stage, it was dark, empty. In the middle of the floor was the Raider, dimly lit, pointing its tips right at me, dark and menacing. It scared the hell out of me. But godsdamn it was cool. #BSG15Years
