"The only way that they would let me do it is if I was shooting Battlestar during the day and White Noise 2 at night," she recalled to co-host and executive producer Kristian Harloff on the latest episode of her new podcast — Blah Blah Blah.

  • Several years ago, I saw her come up in an ad on netflix for a new scifi show "Another Life" -- I didn't know anything about it, but loved her in BSG, so I thought what the hell and watched it.

    OH. MY. GOD.

    I don't think I can ever watch anything she does ever again. I still to this day think it's BY FAR the worst tv show I've ever seen. I don't even know how you can make something SO terrible, they must have tried on purpose.

    How she read that script and accepted the job is just unbelievable.
