For #TBT I’ve been posting screen caps of Aaron from S1 episodes of BSG on the 10 year anniversary of when they aired. The 10 year anniversary for S2 episodes doesn’t start until mid July. So until then enjoy screen caps for some of Aaron’s movie/television roles. This week’s #TBT is of Aaron as MOAC in the STARGATE SG-1 episode 3×20: Maternal Instinct. This episode was the first acting job that Aaron ever booked.

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×13: Kobol’s Last Gleaming (Part 2). This episode aired 10 years ago on April 1, 2005. #BSG10YEARS.
Episode Synopsis: When Commander Adama learns that Kara disobeyed orders and Jumped to Caprica on orders from President Roslin, he demands the president’s resignation, with the implied threat of a military coup. Roslin refuses his demand and sparks a confrontation.
As civil war simmers in the fleet, the conflict on Caprica heats up. Kara completes her mission for Laura: She finds the Arrow of Apollo that, according to prophecy, will lead the fleet to Earth. No sooner does she pick it up, however, than she is thrust into a battle to the death with Number Six.
Meanwhile, Adama sends Sharon and Racetrack in a Raptor equipped with a Cylon transponder, to fire a nuclear warhead that will destroy the base ship. But when the missile release jams, Sharon lands the Raptor deep inside the base ship, to deliver the warhead manually.
Once outside her ship, however, Sharon is greeted by dozens of Sharon avatars, all Cylons like her, welcoming her home. She retreats, but is told that she and her fellow Cylons will meet again. She and Racetrack escape the base ship, which explodes.
Mission accomplished, Sharon returns home to the Galactica. She warmly accepts Commander Adama’s thanks and praise for a job well done, then she coldly shoots him, point-blank, in the chest..

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×12: Kobol’s Last Gleaming (Part 1). This episode aired 10 years ago on March 25, 2005. #BSG10YEARS.
Episode Synopsis: While flying a supply patrol, Crashdown and Sharon Valerii discover a bountiful planet that can support human life. Indeed, it might be Kobol, the legendary “home of the gods.” The discovery prompts Commander Adama to send a ground team to investigate; it also gives new life to President Roslin’s belief that she is a tool of destiny and that this discovery, like her rapidly spreading cancer, is part of an ancient prophecy.
However, things are not well on the Galactica. Gaius Baltar, the new vice president, has a one-night stand with Kara Thrace and finds himself at odds with both Lee Adama and a deeply jealous Number Six.
Meanwhile, both Cylon Sharons struggle with their dual natures. On Galactica, she contemplates suicide when she realizes her programming will lead her to betray her comrades; on Caprica, she tries to convince Helo that her love for him is stronger than her loyalty to the Cylons.
After a Raptor carrying Vice President Baltar is shot down over Kobol, Commander Adama must find a way to destroy the Cylon base ship that guards the planet before he can send a rescue team. He orders Kara to fly a dangerous mission against the base ship, using the captured Cylon Raider, but Kara makes an unauthorized Jump home to Caprica instead, abandoning Adama and the stranded Raptor crew..

Today’s #TBT photo was supposed to be screen caps from the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×11: Colonial Day. But the Chief only had a blurry blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene in that episode (http://aarondouglasfans.com/?p=671). So instead here’s screen caps of Aaron being all badass as Pierce in his 2nd episode of SMALLVILLE (7×14: Traveler). This episode aired 7 years ago.

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×10: THE HAND OF GOD. The Chief was only in this episode for about 8 seconds so I didn’t have enough screen caps for the #TBT image this week so I filled the last 3 spots with behind-the-scenes photos of Aaron and Nicki Clyne (Cally) from that episode. This episode aired 10 years ago on March 11, 2005. #BSG10YEARS.
Episode Synopsis: As its fuel supply dwindles, the fleet must seek out a new supply of tylium ore or risk becoming sitting ducks to any Cylon attack. A recon patrol finds an asteroid full of the fuel, but there’s a catch: the Cylons have found it first and established a heavily guarded refining plant.
Kara devises a plan: Jump three decoy ships near the asteroid; when the Cylons attack, destroy their bases, leaving them stranded in space. It’s a bold tactic, but it will take luck, skill and daring to pull it off.
Meanwhile, President Roslin begins to hallucinate as a result of the chamalla she’s taking to combat her breast cancer. When she consults Elosha, a priestess who has used Chamalla to induce visions, she learns that her circumstances fulfill a 3,600-year-old prophecy.
On Cylon-occupied Caprica, Sharon and Helo’s flight from the Cylon overseers suddenly becomes more complicated when Sharon discovers she’s pregnant.

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×09: TIGH ME UP, TIGH ME DOWN. If you’re wondering why there isn’t much variation in the screen caps, it’s because he was only shown on screen for about 9 seconds. This episode aired 10 years ago on March 4, 2005. #BSG10YEARS.
Episode Synopsis: President Roslin’s fears that Commander Adama is a Cylon are stoked when she learns he’s making secret wireless calls to other ships. Then, to make things worse, a single Cylon raider appears near the Galactica and begins acting strangely after being damaged in battle.
When Adama returns to the ship with Tigh’s wife, Ellen, an earthy temptress and irrepressible flirt who claims to have been in a coma since their civilization was destroyed, Roslin’s suspicions increase. She orders Baltar to screen both Ellen and Adama with his newly completed Cylon-detector.
Meanwhile, Col. Tigh and the rest of the crew watch warily and gather data as the wounded Cylon raider jumps in and out of space.
On Caprica, the Cylon overseers fear that the Cylon Sharon is developing a strange feeling toward Helo: love.

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×08: FLESH AND BONE. This episode aired 10 years ago on February 25, 2005. #BSG10YEARS
Episode Synopsis: A Cylon, who calls himself Leoben, is discovered on one of the ships in the fleet. Commander Adama sends Kara to interrogate him or, rather, it. The Cylon tells Kara that he planted a nuclear device on one of the ships. Although she doesn’t believe it, Kara passes on the warning.
As her colleagues search for the device, Kara engages Leoben in a battle of wills. Theological debates about souls and the humanity of Cylons lead to mind games, threats, and, ultimately, torture. Taking a personal interest in what Leoben has to say, President Roslin joins the interrogation.
On Galactica, Sharon asks Baltar to try out his new Cylon-detecting technology on her.
Meanwhile, on far-off Caprica, another Sharon conspires with her Cylon associates Doral and Number Six to convince Helo to remain on the planet and start a new life.

Episode Synopsis: When Baltar and the Number Six, who lives in his head, have a falling out, she abandons him, only to surface a short while later aboard the Galactica. But now she’s called Shelley Godfrey, everyone can see her, and she’s telling them that she has evidence, passed on by the late Dr. Amarak, that will prove Baltar sold out the human race to the Cylons.
With Baltar in a panic and trying to save himself, Number Six focuses her charms on Commander Adama. But the Commander is wary of this stunning stranger and has her followed while her evidence is analyzed.
Kara struggles to recover from her injuries while Chief Tyrol and the crew try to reverse-engineer the Cylon raider she piloted home.
Meanwhile, dual Sharons face their own challenges: on Caprica, she and Helo are on the run from Cylon centurions; on the Galactica, she’s terrified of being exposed as a Cylon herself.

Episode Synopsis: When a new copy of Doral, a Cylon who had been previously exposed while serving as the Galactica’s public-relations officer, sneaks aboard and blows himself up, killing three people, Commander Adama and President Roslin must finally make public the terrifying secret known only to a select few: Cylons now look like humans.
Adama also appoints an independent tribunal to investigate the recent security breaches and names Sgt. Hadrian as lead investigator. When Hadrian discovers a hatch was left open, even after Chief Tyrol had reported that all were closed, she focuses the investigation on him and his relationship with Sharon.
Tyrol’s crew covers for their chief, taking the blame for his failure. When Hadrian tries to expand the inquiry, haranguing Adama about his decision not to reveal the truth about Cylons, the commander shuts down the tribunal.
Meanwhile, on Caprica, a trio of Cylons observe Helo as he tries to save himself and find the woman he thinks is Sharon.

Episode Synopsis: When Lt. Kara Thrace goes missing in action after encountering a Cylon patrol while on a training mission, Commander Adama feels responsible, especially in light of her recent admission that she blames herself for his son Zak’s death.
Both Adama and Lee devote the full resources of the fleet to search for their missing fighter ace, causing some to wonder if it’s worth risking the lives of 45,000 people to save one downed pilot. When President Roslin questions their motives and points out that Kara’s oxygen was exhausted hours ago, they reluctantly call off the search.
But they haven’t counted on Kara’s resourcefulness and courage. Stranded on a red moon, her knee a twisted wreck, she struggles to relaunch a damaged Cylon fighter and return to Galactica.

She is immediately confronted, first by Lee, then by Adama, and forced to admit to the Commander her role in Zak’s death. Adama orders her to continue training the “nuggets.” Meanwhile, Sgt. Hadrian continues her investigation into the detonators found in Sharon’s spacecraft, and President Roslin consults the ship’s doctor about her cancer.

Commander Adama and President Roslin send Lee to the Astral Queen, a prisoner transport ship, with an offer for its inmates: Volunteer for this mission and earn “freedom points.”
The prisoners not only reject the offer but stage a uprising and hold Lee and his crew hostage. Their leader is Tom Zarek, a freedom fighter convicted of terrorism 20 years earlier. Zarek demands that Roslin step down as president and call for immediate elections to choose a new leader.
While Adama and Roslin organize an assault on the ship, Lee, who read Zarek’s radical manifesto while at college, negotiates with his captor. Back on the Galactica, Adama pressures Baltar to develop a device that can distinguish Cylons from humans.
Many light-years away on Caprica, Sharon and Helo struggle to evade the Cylons, unaware that they are being observed by Doral and Number Six.

Back by popular demand (ok, one person asked me about it), I’m starting #TBT (Throwback Thursday) back up again.
#TBT to the time Aaron shaved his head for the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 4×05: The Road Less Traveled (that aired May 2, 2008). I remember when he sent me that photo (the one in the middle). He told me he had shaved his head and asked if I wanted to see. I totally freaked the frak out because I thought it was going to look awful. I opened the email and looked at it through fingers over my eyes (lol) and then it was “oh hells yes!!!” It looked fantastic. I loved it :)
