In the words of Palpatine: "long have I waited." Sam is such a SW veteran, blessing us with some of the most phenomenal characters in our favorite galaxy far far away with Starkiller and Maul, amongst others. Giving the most insightful and brilliant SW takes that are just as awesome as Dave Filoni's, Battlestar, this man is a living legend. Katee and Sam are literally king & queen. What they have done for Star Wars and Sci-Fi generally is immaculate. 💙

When Katee had started on Battlestar galactica , and the first dvd came out , I was purchasing the first season at Best Buy and she was there also purchasing the dvd and she kept looking at the cover , and I almost turned to her and said something like , “ I’m sure you will be on the cover on the next dvd “ , but I was like, no that would freak her out or something , so I just pretended like she was a regular customer and gave her privacy. She was a very good Starbuck , made the show more tragic with her character and Lee Adam . One of best shows ever made. Ron Moore is a very talented producer.

I love Legion and Shatterpoint as games, but I find painting the minis to be the best part. It is such a zen thing and brings me so much peace. It's like "Look at this thing that I did! This thing from something I love so much and is real and tangible!". Thank both of you for getting together to chat. You are both amazing.

I was always impressed with the episode where Crash down has to lead an attack on an anti aircraft gun, and he is trying to brief the attack with the only limited training he's had as an infantry officer using the 5 paragraph order. It was a very cool thing to use to show his inexperience doing that sort of thing. There were loads of little moments that made you feel like the creators really did their homework of how Sailors, Pilots and Marines interact on a ship.
