I know freedom of speech is always a sensitive topic so I want to be clear. It's not about 'what' is said but about 'where' it's said. Offense in general shouldn't be where freedom of speech stops, it should stop when people actively seek out someone else’s platform and knowingly hurl mean and hurtful things at them. We didn’t have social media when the first amendment was created. It never planned for this. But it’s kind of akin to standing on someone’s front lawn and yelling insults at their house. I have no problem at all with people saying whatever they want on their own platforms, in their own houses, or in any public venue where I can actively choose not to participate ❤️I'm not petitioning for a change in the constitution here people, only appealing to everyone's better natures in the hope that we can have a little less hate and a little more love online. xoxo
Here in Germany the right for free speech ends when you insult or hurt someone with your words AND you will be prosecuted if you do it on purpose ... if you do it on the internet it can become quickly very costly because of the range of influence. But lets keep it simple ... a law should never be an excuse for being an asshole ... right?
Okay, I’m very curious. Where exactly is Robin and why is he apparently so high? Is he on a ladder? Inquiring minds need to know this. Also, I think the aviator glasses are definitely you.
I totally agree with you about freedom of speech and that it comes with Personal responsibility. I used to drive public transit and sometimes people would come up and want to Verbally abuse me, and before I had a chance to respond, they would take off. So I call that VHR (verbal hit and run).
I liked you comment about actors performances being subjective. I myself really enjoyed both Katee's Starbuck and Dirk's Starbuck. Both made it their own. Also, I really loved everyone in "Sexy Evil Genius".
That is why if you say something on social media the liberal nut jobs get your fired for having a different opinion ...you know...the "tolerant-intolerant left"...the same people that snatch up presidential signs so people won't see someone stands for good in the world or a different opinion, those peaceful protestors that burn homes down, rape, destroy, and pillage downtown in democrat-led cities on west coast...CNN calls these domestic terrorists..."peaceful protestors"... you those "tolerant people" who hurt others for thinking different...In other countries they are called communists.
doro626 Obama, Pelosi, shimmer, AOC smiles and it creeps me out how evil they are...just saying smiling don’t mean squat...I think Lauren a a genuine person though so in her case I’ll make an exception
Look America is failing! There is a blatant correlation with the values espoused by Katee Sackoff (who massively obtains value from her views) and the failure and destruction of millions upon millions of Americans.
Katee should've been Captain Marvel. She was always my dream pick for the character. Katee looks waaaaay more like Carol Danvers than Brie Larson. It still bothers me that she wasn't the first person Marvel called to play the character.
Katie, if his mother ever threatens to beat you up, its actually illegal to threaten physical violence in Canada. Of course that makes Deadpool and Wolverine even more ironic.
@@JJames7 you should really watch the “clone wars” and “rebels” :) they’re animated but when you get past that you’ll understand how important K’s red headed mandalorian character is. She played the voice of that character for 10 years. Couldn’t have been played in live action by anyone else!
Cinderella most definitely had a muscly build. She was running a household of three grown-ups, cooking for them, cleaning after them, doing their laundry etc. Imagine doing laundry without a washing machine. And in the story, she is the only maid in the house, looking after each one of them. Doing that much manual labour, without the help of any machines, and it not being evident on ones appearance would be a miracle.
I was just checking to see if someone pointed this out. I wonder if Katee would do an alien space themed Cinderella, except at the stroke of midnight someone kidnaps the prince and she finds him but first she calls them on a subspace radio and says "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money... but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career---25 years actually. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you." Who doesn't want this movie to happen?
@Qwerty Bastard Then she would have had a muscly wiry look. She did manual labour from childhood, everyday. In no way she could look soft, and like someone who hasn't worked a day in their life.
Just recalling - and whether this was fictional detective or not, I honestly don't remember but it makes sense! - an account of a woman, being tried for murder, throttling a bloke with her bare hands. It wasn't believed that she was capable - being a 'mere' female of the species. However, it was pointed out that she worked in a laundry, wringing out wet clothes and sheets! I think that dear Cinders, had she a mind to and in a darker version of the tale, would have been more than capable of breaking those Ugly Sisters in two.
Although UA-cam has recommended your videos to me in the past I've never watched one until now. I was pleasantly surprised and you had me smiling throughout. Your sense of humor, energy and snark was well received on this end.
As a fan of the original BSG, of course Starbuck was my favorite character. When I heard that Starbuck was going to be a woman in the new series I was taken aback and a little angry, but of course as a total scifi nerd I still had to watch. Not only did I enjoy the show, but Starbuck remained my favorite character in it. The original character was a little 2 dimensional, but you took that role and brought a full 3 dimensions to it and lets just say it...girl you owned Starbuck.
I had a similar reaction. Kept thinking, "Sure, remake BSG, just give them new names. Why insist on same names?" It put me off trying the series for years...which then let me binge watch it later, and I love Katee's portrayal of Kara Thrace.
My thing with gender bending is, if you do it, you have to make it worthwhile. Make the character unique. Don't genderbend just because, or to have more female "representation" in the cast. Make it serve the story. That's what they did with Starbuck and that's why people got over their initial dislike and started to embrace and then later love the character.
I liked original Starbuck a lot. He fell in line with the pulse of society at the time. That being said, reboot Starbuck was also pretty great, like most or all of the female roles in BSG...well written characters that could stand alone with fairly robust back stories. You have to give a nod to the guys who rewrote BSG because the original show had like...4 girls in the whole galaxy, but they knocked it out of the park with a lot of the female rewrite characters and then took the extra 100 steps to cast actors who actually fit the script and acted the hell out of those roles (not wooden..cough..Brie Larson). I am not a total simp though, still a bit salty that Boxy was tragically left out of the reboot.
I was honestly a little surprised by the “female Starbuck controversy,” but I was skeptical the show in general would be any good. Eddie Olmos was in it, though, so I was more than willing to give it a shot. Katee’s Starbuck was the unexpected gem in the miniseries, and my skepticism of anything was shot to hell in the first 5 minutes.
Katee, I've said this before and it's worth saying again, I am a huge fan of your career as an actress but I am an even bigger fan of your presence on social media. There is so much negativity on social media I think about deleting my accounts all the time. It's because of you, and a few others like you, that I keep my accounts active. I really like hearing about the things that are important to you. But it's mostly little slices of life you share that I enjoy the most. When you share those life slices it's a little bit like having a really cool roommate without all the annoying BS you would typically associate with having a roommate. So... basically... thank you for being you. 🙂
I think what I love most is that when Katee is responding to some pretty negative comments, instead of saying 'blow it out your ass', she's still finding a way to respond but in a polite and respectful way. I think we could all learn from this.
I don't think the world is a better place because people say horrible things, but it is a better place because they CAN. If we take away that freedom things get bad. Real bad.
Now you have Scottish (northern UK?) officials saying that they should be able to prosecute private speech in the home if it violates hate speech laws.
Uh oh, another person thinking limits on freedom of speech is A ok because someone may say something considered offensive. I wonder who would then be the arbiter of offensive speech.....???
Just be prepared to face the consequences when saying terrible things to other persons. People have been killed for way less. If you start being an asshole to someone just because you can, that guy may just snap and pull a gun at you. I'm all for freedom of speech but you don't have to be a dickhead when exercising said freedom.
Freedom of speech, apart from anything offensive, whom prey tell gets to decide what's offensive and what is not. People are offended by many different things, almost everything would be considered offensive, conversations would be reduced to saying you look great.
@@KateeSackhoffOfficial don't sell yourself short, Katee. You are a rare combination of talent, incredible looks, intelligence, humbleness, honesty, and a heart of gold. Most of us have some of those qualities. I truly believe you have all of them, plus you're funny, and you're a dork, in a good way, LOL. Maybe not a national treasure, but you're a fantastic role model, not just for younger girls and women, but for anyone striving to be better.
I also like movies where the women kick ass. Here is my superstar lineup: Katee and Tricia, Charlize Theron, Uma Thurman, Maggie Q, Gina Carano, Rhonda Rousey, and Milla Jovovich all staring in a female version of The Expendables. Better throw in Gal Gadot as well.
I'm super into this list, but now it becomes so clear we need to make sure we're mentioning prominent black women who are hella fierce and have been around awhile like Danai Gurira, Thandie Newton, Zoe Saldana, Lupita Nyong'o, Letitia Wright, Tessa Thompson and those who paved the way for them like Pam Grier! Not to mention our kickass Asian and Latinx badass role models! :D
Just stumbled across your video. As a huge Star Wars fan I would just like to say I cannot wait to see you literally and physically flesh out the character of Bo-Katan. She was always one of my favorite characters regarding the lore of the Mandalorians. Your portrayal of her in animation was great and I would bet your live action portrayal of her will be just as good if not better.
Very old and good advice that has been long lost: “if you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all”. I’m with you. I absolutely loved you in BG and Longmire. Thanks for doing these videos. They’re very cool. 😊👍👍
There's a world of difference between giving advice and IMPOSING your standards of behaviour on others, and this is what the Left refuses to understand. They are not in charge of how other people behave nor should they ever be. If you want to advise someone not to say nasty things, then do so, but where I draw the line in your insistence that others adhere to what you think is "good bahaviour". You don't get to make that determination on my bahalf.
@@motelghost477 so.... Chivalry is dead for you sir, ok. Guess it just depends on how you were raised. Here in the south, most of us were raised to show respect and have good manners.
@@AnthonyAllenJr Yet so many of us Southern folks fail so miserably at it. I live here too and the manners of our great grandfathers are long gone. Just because you call someone Sir/ Mam before insulting them doesn't make it good manners. Chivalry is indeed dead, as courage, honor, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak (this doesn't mean women btw) seems to be a world most Republicans do not wish to live in, if you go by their actions these days. And I fully agree with aceadman (for Gilles 82), “if you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all” and if you're just so twisted in your beliefs and you just have to be a misogynistic, racist, homophobic, entitled neanderthal out loud, then don't whine when you get hit with consequences for saying horrible stuff. No one on the left wants free speech taken away, they want you to grow up and understand that action and speech have consequences and just because you do not agree with people's "lifestyle" doesn't make you the spokesperson for all that is right. Basically if you don't like it, don't go away mad, just go away.
I love, in this age of "celebrity" being found in every person with a cell phone, to see someone who has a true talent and who puts themselves out there as a genuine person. I have enjoyed your work and find your sincere, candid, and direct style to be a great benefit to this platform. I am a single father with teenage daughters and will be excitedly sharing your page with them as an example of a well rounded person. Thanks for sharing yourself with us in this way and I am excited to see more celebrities doing these types of channels. I feel like we have created this social idea that celebrities are a caste above average folks and it is nice to be reminded that we are all just folks in spite of how many recognize us. Again, its late so I hope the wording of that came out correctly. Be Well. ***P.S... I wrote the above comment before I completed the video. Now having completed the video, I cannot stop laughing, and adoring you even more than I did before. Your responses to negative comments is phenomenal! I'm certain, as a human being, that your off camera comments might be a bit more colorful; however, your choice of response on camera is everything I could ever hope for as a human-- smart, funny, and respectful! Well done you!
Here are some video ideas: -How in the heck you manage to completely memorize an entire pile of scripts (like seriously, I am SO impressed) -A breakdown of your favorite scenes to film and why -Favorite places to order in from while in Canada -An introduction to your dogs -Your non-acting and non-physical fitness related hobbies -Sharing the hardest stunts you’ve ever had to film Also, Starbuck is and will always be my favorite viper pilot :-)
"I don't want to buy equipment that I know I'm not going to use." -- Katee, less than a minute after discussing the Diva cup she has bought and still hasn't used 🤣🤣
Big fan of Longmire and hated to see it go. Also enjoyed the other stuff you've been in, but I think I like your youtube videos even better. You are awesome. Keep it going.
@@KateeSackhoffOfficial Please find a way to bring back Longmire. I feel your character had so much potential to develop in a great way. TV shows today Suck. Literally.
@@robk1310 Nah man let it rest. It was a great show and ended on a high note. Not every show has to be NCIS or The Simpsons and go on and on untill it becomes a parody of itself.
Yeah, loved Longmire too. Spotted Robert Taylor in both The Meg and Kong Skull Island. My wife was peeved when I elbowed her in the theater and loudly whispered, "Honey, it's Walt!"
I have a rule when posting comments: if you don’t have something positive to say, say nothing. If you really prefer one actor’s version of a role over another, direct a positive comment to your favourite. And if you really dislike a video, that’s what the 👎 button if for. Make the world a better place, be positive not negative.
Chris Robinson ah you like to be surrounded by sycophants. 🙄🙄 saying only positive things is idiotic, how does anyone improve if they don’t know something is wrong. Legitimate criticism is to be welcomed.
@@KateeSackhoffOfficial you as ripped Cinderella that would be a badass an hot character for dc DOOM PATROL , but on to my real query have you considered having geothermal power installed for your home remodel an also use it for heating www.google.com/search?client=opera-gx&hs=TkP&biw=1364&bih=698&sxsrf=ALeKk01MAk0CZE9QLFh0QMTybVZkpcDjhg%3A1602444150333&ei=dluDX_r0E8eq5wKYkpf4CA&q=go+for+geothermal+power+for+your+home+remodel+an+also&oq=go+for+geothermal+power+for+your+home+remodel+an+als&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQARgAMgUIIRCgATIFCCEQoAEyBQghEKABOgcIABBHELADOgQIIxAnOgcIIxCwAhAnOgUIIRCrAjoHCCEQChCgAToECCEQClDIRVjO_AZgy4YHaAhwAHgAgAGJAYgB6RmSAQQzMS43mAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpesgBCMABAQ&sclient=psy-ab
AND ... the Prince must have liked those housework toned muscles because he was smitten by her. No ... wait ... it was her tiny feet? I might have this wrong. HA!
I love this. Thank you for sharing your perspectives. I also believe in breaking down barriers as a female. I did what I could to raise my daughter to be unapologetically real as a person. Social media and the constant barrage of idealized images and idealized suggested behaviors etc made it hard.
Video Idea: Since you mentioned memorizing your lines/scripts...can you walk us through your process? Do you act them out? Do you just read them over and over? Do you get help? Do actors run lines with each other outside of the day to day? (like jump on a zoom/skype and do your scenes together?) DEETS!
Social Media is like a dual edge sword and when not used correctly everybody gets hurt, your Podcast gives us all HOPE so that we should be aware of our surroundings and realize that many people gave their lives for this freedom and as you said use your opinion with some tact and couth! Thank You for you Wonderful Podcast, " This is The Way"
I'm actually surprised you stayed so civil through this. People are horrible. I guess my suggestion is you do another one of these response videos, but you do it as Starbuck.
I think these "talking head" videos are my favorites. You have such an effervescent personality that it's a joy to listen to you speak for half an hour. 👍
Your assumption that most people have a highly developed sense of self-regulation and empathy towards others (and therefore will pause before exercising their FoS) is probably unrealistic. The penetration of social media into many (all?) aspects of daily life, and the subsequent disconnect with a sense of personal accountability has created an environment of extremes that's reflected in our sociopolitical discourse. A 21st century Tower of Babel, with people fortifying their individual silos with specifically-selected information based on personal preferences that only reinforces their biases. And on a lighter note, love your shows and your skills as an actor! 🖖
You have the widest, most brilliant smile - it's like the best sunbeams. I know I'm fangirling but honestly, I adore your personality & your acting. This channel is so excellent. Thank you. (I'm still envious AF that you & Tricia H are great friends.)
Minor nitpick: Freedom of speech as a concept and a right doesn't stop when someone's being mean. If you're about to say something hurtful, you should stop, but we shouldn't make such statements illegal. Also, and I don't mean to be a jerk or anything, but I think you were fantastic in Longmire and BSG, and I'm very happy I stumbled across your channel today. (I wrote that sentence that way because there seems to be a rule that nothing ever good ever comes after "I don't mean to be a ___, but..." and I wanted to break it)
... the problem is ... who decides something is hurtful ... what matters is INTENT not some elses interpretation ... and ONLY the person making a statement knows their intent
Never saw BSG, but anyone dissing your ‘actor skills’ needs to re-watch Longmire. Incredible role, amazing actor, awesome human being (and adorable to boot)!
Around 24 minutes, you address the person giving you career advice, it reminded me of a podcast on NPR that spoke to expectations and how they impact persons with disabilities. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, it was refreshing
My two sons, the oldest is 27, and is 6'2", the youngest is 21 and 6'0". I'm 5'7. Their mom is 5 feet nuthin' and she scares them out of their minds. LOL

I was born with severe hearing loss, and also some immune problems, and there's a good chance it cost me the height my dad and grandad had.

Hi Katee, thankyou for your comments regarding women in movies, I grew up seeing movies and reading books and thinking that women with strength of personality, will and body are important. I was taught growing up that women must be protected and cherished, but I dislike that you are supposed to be helpless just because you are a female. My mother when she was a girl, apparently beat up some neighborhood boys when they picking on her younger sister. Being made to feel helpless wether male or female is a terrible feeling and shouldn't be inflicted on anyone, not to say that it can't feel good to be the protector. I love the way you think about this, I have have enjoyed your characters in what i have seen. I also think the old saying of if can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. Also keep on keeping on , the world needs the positiveness and openness. Cheers
the person who "remembers a time when actors spent more time on their craft than in the gym" must have a very selective memory... "back in the day", actors had to learn fencing, horseback riding, elocution, and a host of other things in addition to their lines and "how to act" ... it was never just about acting, but the other skills did used to be well hidden from the general public... these days, Errol Flynn would be all over instagram showing off the latest saddle-trick he learned, or talking about how gruelling the fencing practice is... being at a particular level of fitness is a necessary part of the job and most of us couldn't do it. i certainly can't memorize all those lines! that's why i make the props and sets :)
I wondered if someone would make this comment. I guess the person who wrote about "working on their craft" also missed the various biographical novels, and shows, on the old Studio System back in the day.
When I heard that Ronald D Moore had decided to gender swap Starbuck, I was upset. I mean "Buck"?? Damned ridiculous decision! Then I watched Katie's kick-ass (literally) performance and was blown away. There is no other Starbuck. Okay, that's out of my system. Sorry Ms Sackoff, for making this about a single role you've had, when you're so much more, but the Starbuck comments were pissing me off. btw I like the "Katie Sackoff" role the best! She's an amazingly likeable character and you've perfected her. You go girl!
I love how genuine of a person you are! I think that’s something we don’t see as much with actors. Your willingness to speak your mind about anything. You’re Bo Katan in real life!
Fan-Fucn-Tastic! Favorite episode! It was like Kimmel’s “Mean Tweets” Katee edition. Recommendation: Keep this segment! Just don’t over play it and it will be BALLS!!!! 😃 Or it could turn out to be balls....😢
I'm not a fan of aviator glasses which is why I don't wear them. Never felt the need to run round telling others not to wear them either. I think some people just really need to attempt to exert power and control over others. Like trying to tell you how you should or shouldn't sculpt your own body, lol. Or what you should refer to yourself as. Some people are really just aholes and jerks. You do you boo, it's working for you. P.S. I never got into BSG (though I liked you in it) but your youtube channel makes me want to try and watch it again. ✌
Katee, just found you in the last couple of years as an ACTOR and just found your UA-cam channel. Love your personality and your response with calling ppl on their BS comments. You are amazing and please continue to be who you are.
"Freedom of speech" not allowed to hurt someone's feeling isn't freedom of speech at all. The real problem is not someone's words and speech that hurt or offend us, but why we feel hurt or offended. When we understand this, we become stronger than any stupid speech or word.
@@tcroshon70 ... said the communist before sending the the citizen to the gulag ... You can excuse any censorship with that logic ... You can criticize the party but hey ... we will "reeducate" you if you will ... By that logic China also has free speech ...
Just stumbled across this channel today and I am damn impressed with Katee's content! It's fantastic to see such an interesting journey from a person in the entertainment business. She genuinely seems to work hard at whatever she's doing.
'Would you say it to someone's face?' We try to teach the kids at our school exactly this. I loved 'is the world a better place because you said that?' I'm going to use that with the kids. Can u do and episode about the dogs please?
Yes, that's pretty obvious. This was no grand statement or thought that would shock society to the point that someone needed to ban the comment. I believe the point was to call it what it was... being a dick. So yes, you are free to be a dick. I think Deadpool and Ricky Gervais can get away with it without losing friends. Love you, Katee. You're a badass!!
The issue is kindness. Freedom of speech is important, but when you aren’t coming from a place of kindness you should just count to ten and ask yourself if it really needs to be said. (Karma beetches!)
I very much agree. On the other side of the coin though is that freedom of speech, in order to represent the true liberty this country has afforded us all, has to allow for all the ugly stuff and all the ugly (mean) people. And another way to look at it is that through freedom of speech, we can better identify the assholes from the good ones lol. Cuz reality is they’re both out there whether we like it or not so while mean people say hurtful things, they do reveal who they are by doing so and i for one would much rather know than not know, just because they aren’t “allowed” to say what they really think. If that makes any sense.:)
you are not owed respect, your feelings should not dictate the parameters of anyone elses speech. "freedom of speech, but" - there is no but. either you believe in it or you dont - and you clearly dont, so dont tap dance around it.
I like to see it more about freedom of speech not being the same as freedom from consequence. A person is entitled to say what they want, but if it’s offensive, they shouldn’t be surprised when they get backlash.
I just wanted to pop in here and say that you are a delightful human. Some years ago I stumbled on your channel and was impressed about the transparency with regard to what you go through to get screen ready and how that's not always the most maintainable thing unless it's for a specific purpose. I wasn't really even familiar with your body of work. Imagine my surprise when the algorithm deigned send you across my recommended again and I went "omg the cool person I watched before was bo katan?!" I see that it's been a long time since this was posted but I felt compelled to say that you have brightened my day. Thank you!
Katee: Better Starbuck Dirk: Better hair Not that Katee has bad hair by any means, but Dirk's mane was glorious. It was like golden waves of beer breaking on a shore of Dirk's face. If you think that's a weird analogy, well it is. Dirk was awesome as Starbuck too of course, but punchy Katee was better ☺
"asshole" is so subjective. I think we can agree that an asshole is a totally abrasive, rude, anti-social troll. Anything more aggressive than that is an assailant - yes? OK - good. So with that tidbit, I have to inform you that anyone has the absolute RIGHT and FREEDOM to be an "asshole".
@@michaelbradford6990 ... Sir, you are absolutely correct. My point is ... those few people burning cities and assaulting police are just jerks. Not representatives of the whole. They are driving the narrative while the vast majority just cringe with embarrassment ...
@@jaredporikos2197 that sounds like assault? That's not a right....censor? That's not a right. What do you mean? Maybe debate? An editorial? Scathing satire ala SNL?
I'm a 40 year old dude who has 3 daughters, and I just wanted you to know that you appear to be a fantastic person and a great role model. Glad to have you in this version of the universe :).
I left social media because of comments like the Starbuck one. I'm tired of people trolling pages to just be mean and then moving on. I've never understood why people can't just scroll past things they don't agree with on someone's personal page and keep comments like that to an appropriate discussion forum. It's so rude and hateful, I just don't get it. 🤷 I love that you guys just laugh and move on. 💜
Katee Sackhoff True, but Freedom of Speech is specifically designed to protect speech that is unpopular. I get it, I left social media for the same reason as Kendra. Too many Trolls just talking smack. The problem is, it’s a very slippery slope to pick whatever is offensive and not. Who judges? I just realized that, for some people, Twitter is the equivalent of a bathroom stall and a sharpie pen so I ignore them.
I appreciate you having a reasonable peaceful debate here. I believe Freedom of speech was created to protect us from the government and our right to voice our criticisms of said governments and protest injustice....not so we could tell people on social media we think they are fat and awful and should’ve never gotten out of bed today 😳 It’s sad that so many have left social media because of the rampant hate that is unjustly directed at so many. We can disagree and still be polite. 🤷🏼♀️ Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@@KateeSackhoffOfficial always, yes, ALWAYS, remember that the majority are fans and that the few negatives shouldn't hold any gravity compared. "Garbage is always best when it is disposed of." - Me- 2020
I've never been on twitter or instagram and yet I would be eager to get on either one, but with the negativity and the trolling on them as well as on youtube, I sometimes wonder if those who do the trolling are aware of the damage they're causing and if they sick enough to enjoy it without knowing about the consequences. The film Audrie & Daisy on Netflix illustrate the point. The age of mean has to end somehow.
When I first heard that they were changing Starbuck and Boomer to women, I was not happy about it. That is until I saw Starbucks at Starbucks, it made me realize that the remake was not to cancel Battlestar, but to tell an updated version of battlestar. I did love the way you and Grace park played Boomer and Starbuck, you two fit the roles, the only thing I did not like about your character was that the show did not fully explain what you were and why like they did with the final five
Thanks for watching. Not fully explaining what Starbuck was was a choice by Ron Moore. He purposely wanted to leave it ambiguous for the viewer. As far as the final five....I don’t know what his reasoning was. 👍🏻
@@KateeSackhoffOfficial Ok, that makes sense, now I understand why the character was always asking what she was, because it was a mystery to the audience as well as her
@@KateeSackhoffOfficial I always thought the Starbuck that came back from death was an angel from god with Starbuck's body and memories to make it easier for them to follow her as she lit the way to Earth 2.
“We don’t call athletes, athlettas.” No other person would ever say that...ever...and that’s one of the many reasons why I love Katee Sackhoff. 😆 Also...my mom always said things like...”if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” I think that’s a pretty good rule in life, there’s waaay to much negativity these days. Can’t wait for season two Katee!
Katee - the people coming for you for being to fit and muscular is insane. It like all the people that used to go after Michelle Obama for being so in shape and calling her all sorts of nasty things. Western societies "conformed" image of what makes a woman attractive all comes from a historically unhealthy male viewpoint that is finally starting to change. Keep up the good work.
From what I observe, people hate/dislike things and they feel the must announce it to the whole world, and why. Quite often it seems they'll write a small book about it. People who like things tend to give a sentence and leave it at that. Just what i observe so meh :) BTW keep doing you. You're awesome and seem like the nicest person.
As someone who wants to go into the acting profession as a career, I think it would be really cool to see a video of your methods for getting into character, script learning techniques and any tips you have for someone trying to get their foot in the door 😊 it's such a difficult place to get started and having tips and tricks from someone in the business would be awesome (also Starbuck is like one of my favourite characters ever so would love to learn from the best!)
Man, I miss Starbuck's laugh in BSG, especially when she would make Lee's life a living hell. Katee, you were among my favorite actors in that show (along with James Edward Olmos and Michael Hogan). I've gotta find another friend to watch BSG with.
I've been a fan of Katee's for years but just discovered this channel and it is a true blessing. Thank you Katee for letting us as fans see what a down to Earth amazing person that you are.
Richard hatch was actually a family friend and your personality reminds me of him when he’d come over for dinner with my parents! P.s. I think you were the better Starbuck 😊
I love the idea 'Is the world better if ... ?" So much nonsense could easily be filtered if that was the guiding principle. So much better the world could be!
What I'd like to know is how You Tube knew to recommend this video to me because I'd started watching (for the first time I might add) the reruns of Battlestar Galactica on the BBC (free to air TV) and not via my PC? Spooky, as my TV and PVR are not 'smart' units connected to the interweb...
Thank you so much! I always feel like I have to defend myself for running on the balls of my feet, but it's exactly as you said.: Shoe companies built shoes to encourage running from heel to toe, but if you weren't wearing these shoes, you would hurt yourself. Running on the balls of your feet is natural. Plus, the foot is made up of small bones packed with muscle, which helps to distribute and absorb shock. Running on your heel sends all that shock up your legs and make your knees and hips hurt.

Hey Katee, I'm not a big one for leaving comments. But I felt the need with this one. I'm stuck at home, chewing through some vacation days at home during these lovely COVID times (use em or lose em), and this video brightened my day. Many moons ago I worked security in the film/tv biz in Toronto. While I never had the opportunity to work with a production with which you were associated. It was my experience that most actors were down to earth and quite approachable, if you gave them half a chance. I've enjoyed watching many of your UA-cam vids. Your blunt honesty and winning smile are a great combination. Keep it up. :)
my only complaint is around 7 minutes when you missed the opportunity to say "I was looking for Spartan training videos and this POOPED up." other than that lack of juvenile toilet humor this video was delightful (as are all your videos) Huge BSG fan, own all seasons and also loving 'Another Life" can't wait for another season! would watch the poop out of a knife throwing video!!! Thank you for being amazing and sharing a corner of your life with your fans!
"I think that we should spend less time projecting what we think women should be - or anyone should be, for that matter - and more time realising that nothing limits anyone from playing any role, except imagination." Brilliantly stated, and somebody needs to write a completely new Cinderella one of these days: polite and well-mannered, but still quite capable and assertive. Sorry I don't have a treatment to pitch, yet, but I'd love to see you as that kind of Cinderella.
You make me smile. You are the greatest channel I’ve found on UA-cam. I’m of 2 minds: first, I’m in total awe of you as an actor. I could see myself going all fanboy if we were to meet. Second, from watching your channel, I could see hanging out with you just having a beer and talking. I just did watch your spartan race, you amazed me!
I actually kinda have to agree with the "most underrated actor" comment. There´s plenty actresses they seem to actively try to push on us as the audience that are actually very unremarkable. What´s that captain america actress again? Can´t even remember her name right now... Katee is way waY WAY better and more memorable and has a WAY wider range of emotions and things she can portray believably than that forgettable woman.... So yeah. Kind of agree with the sentiment of that comment.
Freedom of speech that stops with what someone deems “hurtful” puts terrible limits on speech. If we can’t say something that unwittingly and unintentionally offends ANYONE else , we can’t say ANYTHING because someone is always going to be offended. Offense is taken, it isn’t given. You have the right to say anything you want. It doesn’t mean you can’t face consequences for what is said but you have every right to say it. It could be the most vile and offensive thing and you have the right to say it. If it makes you a social pariah or effects you negatively, that’s the risk you take but you have EVERY right to say it. Go watch George Carlin. The idea that he couldn’t exist in the world of comedy TODAY because of cancel culture these days is beyond atrocious. This idea you put forward about limiting free speech to keep offensive things out of the discourse is beyond dangerous. Who gets to decide what is offensive? You, Katee? Or is there a board we appear before to get a ruling on our speech? The government? That is such a dangerous path to start down.
That was eloquent and well reasoned in my opinion. Scotland has just introduced some frightening anti free speech laws which means people can be prosecuted and jailed for things said in their own homes. Incredible but true.
_"Freedom of speech that stops with what someone deems “hurtful” puts terrible limits on speech."_ Depends on what 'hurtful' means. We have laws against defamation, which is hurtful. In Canada, we have laws against hate speech, which means you can't go around publicly calling black people niggers, or saying Muslims are evil and should be shot. Or that native people are all lazy drunk leeches. This is a good thing. A good rule of thumb is, if you wouldn't say something to someone in person, you shouldn't say it behind someone's back in public. _"If we can’t say something that unwittingly and unintentionally offends ANYONE else , we can’t say ANYTHING because someone is always going to be offended."_ Hyperbole. We can still say 99.99999% of everything we want to say. Freedom of speech doesn't mean you get to be a bigoted asshole. _"Offense is taken, it isn’t given."_ Nonsense. Most of the time when people say offensive things, they KNOW it's offensive, which is why they say it. It's intentional. _"You have the right to say anything you want. It doesn’t mean you can’t face consequences for what is said but you have every right to say it"_ Nonsense. If there are 'consequences' to what you say, that means you are being punished for what you say. That's what 'consequences' means. I have the freedom to yell death threats at someone, no one is s stopping me. But there are legal 'consequences' for doing so. _"Who gets to decide what is offensive?"_ We all do. And chances are, the person saying something offensive already knows it's offensive. At the same time, if you want to argue that people are often taking offense too easily, I would agree with that. Sometimes people are too sensitive. There's a balance to everything.
@@squatch545 Where in the first amendment does it specifically state that you don’t have a right to be a bigoted asshole? You most certainly do have that right. Now, don’t confuse or conflate that statement to mean I support being a bigoted asshole. I’m a 37 year old black man and if you want to call me a nigger, you have the right to do so. By right, I mean you won’t be arrested and sequestered away for saying it. You might be fired from your job, you might be ostracized by your friends, you might become a social pariah, but you have the right to be a bigoted asshole in that you can’t be prosecuted for saying the word nigger. Words, not actions and not incitement of violence, but WORDS are not illegal. You are speaking more to the social contract we have with each other rather than the actual Bill of Rights. You can call me a nigger and, as long as you aren’t beating or robbing me or committing a crime, you have done nothing illegal. Now; if you start throwing around that word while committing a crime against me, THAT is where we get into hate crime territory. But simply walking by and calling me nigger is perfectly legal. Doesn’t mean you won’t get a bloody nose, though. It just means you won’t be arrested. And yes, the culture these days is so quick to take offense that it almost negates the point. If comedians like Pryor and Carlin and Robin Williams couldn’t survive in the cancel culture madness of today, those being some of the most influential voices for a generation, then we’ve gone too far down the road of over-correction. Pryor spoke to and influenced a lot of black men, myself included.
@@romanaghost THAT is the kind of terrifying nonsense that comes from this current trend to want to suppress offensive speech. Again, who decides what is offensive? And do those deciding have the power to take away my other rights (by imprisonment, etc)? Elected officials don’t speak for everyone (hence the partisan nonsense we are in now) so how do you equitably handle the government punishing “offensive” speech?
I just came back to "update" my previous comment. I was immensely looking forward to seeing you "flesh out" Bo-Katan in live action, and you did not disappoint. I really hope Disney+ does a Bo-Katan spinoff now. Rumor is they're talking about it. I for one would LOVE to see it.
I know freedom of speech is always a sensitive topic so I want to be clear. It's not about 'what' is said but about 'where' it's said. Offense in general shouldn't be where freedom of speech stops, it should stop when people actively seek out someone else’s platform and knowingly hurl mean and hurtful things at them. We didn’t have social media when the first amendment was created. It never planned for this. But it’s kind of akin to standing on someone’s front lawn and yelling insults at their house. I have no problem at all with people saying whatever they want on their own platforms, in their own houses, or in any public venue where I can actively choose not to participate ❤️I'm not petitioning for a change in the constitution here people, only appealing to everyone's better natures in the hope that we can have a little less hate and a little more love online.
xoxo
Here in Germany the right for free speech ends when you insult or hurt someone with your words AND you will be prosecuted if you do it on purpose ... if you do it on the internet it can become quickly very costly because of the range of influence.
But lets keep it simple ... a law should never be an excuse for being an asshole ... right?
No explanation needed. Just because people have the right to, doesn’t mean they have to be nasty and rude.
Okay, I’m very curious. Where exactly is Robin and why is he apparently so high? Is he on a ladder? Inquiring minds need to know this.
Also, I think the aviator glasses are definitely you.
I totally agree with you about freedom of speech and that it comes with Personal responsibility. I used to drive public transit and sometimes people would come up and want to Verbally abuse me, and before I had a chance to respond, they would take off. So I call that VHR (verbal hit and run).
I liked you comment about actors performances being subjective. I myself really enjoyed both Katee's Starbuck and Dirk's Starbuck. Both made it their own.
Also, I really loved everyone in "Sexy Evil Genius".
Mike Tyson said it best “Social media made y’all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it”
That is why if you say something on social media the liberal nut jobs get your fired for having a different opinion ...you know...the "tolerant-intolerant left"...the same people that snatch up presidential signs so people won't see someone stands for good in the world or a different opinion, those peaceful protestors that burn homes down, rape, destroy, and pillage downtown in democrat-led cities on west coast...CNN calls these domestic terrorists..."peaceful protestors"... you those "tolerant people" who hurt others for thinking different...In other countries they are called communists.
Problem is its mostly the far left that thinks they have the right to run off at the mouth.
@@JJames7 Well this "Tolerant/intolerant leftist" thinks you sound like a deluded asshole, but I will fight to my death for your right to be one. 😙
@@wasupfool5692 Is that *really* the problem? The more you know! 🤣

She Smiles As shes the scarier One around LOL Joke She smiles cause shes laughing alot
doro626 Obama, Pelosi, shimmer, AOC smiles and it creeps me out how evil they are...just saying smiling don’t mean squat...I think Lauren a a genuine person though so in her case I’ll make an exception
Look America is failing! There is a blatant correlation with the values espoused by Katee Sackoff (who massively obtains value from her views) and the failure and destruction of millions upon millions of Americans.
Why am I only now finding out that Katee (shoulda been Captain Marvel!) Sackhoff has a UA-cam channel...??!!!
Just saw Katie in mandalorian session 2. A red head Starbuck. All that was missing was a cigar
Katee should've been Captain Marvel. She was always my dream pick for the character. Katee looks waaaaay more like Carol Danvers than Brie Larson. It still bothers me that she wasn't the first person Marvel called to play the character.
That happened to me too.
Katie, if his mother ever threatens to beat you up, its actually illegal to threaten physical violence in Canada. Of course that makes Deadpool and Wolverine even more ironic.
@@JJames7 you should really watch the “clone wars” and “rebels” :) they’re animated but when you get past that you’ll understand how important K’s red headed mandalorian character is. She played the voice of that character for 10 years. Couldn’t have been played in live action by anyone else!
"I have 100% of these scripts memorized and I also went for a hike today. You're welcome." You're the best Katee!
The world needs more women like Katee Sackoff. Strong, honest, sincere, and genuine.
Damn fucking right Sir : >
I second that sentiment.
Yep! Not only is she all that she is beautiful and MOST of all INTELLIGENT! ( Not hitting on her at all! UUUMM, OK maybe just a little bit!)😉😊😎
@@Starweaver1 creepy D:
you forgot to mention..... Hot
Cinderella most definitely had a muscly build. She was running a household of three grown-ups, cooking for them, cleaning after them, doing their laundry etc. Imagine doing laundry without a washing machine. And in the story, she is the only maid in the house, looking after each one of them.
Doing that much manual labour, without the help of any machines, and it not being evident on ones appearance would be a miracle.
Good point.
I was just checking to see if someone pointed this out. I wonder if Katee would do an alien space themed Cinderella, except at the stroke of midnight someone kidnaps the prince and she finds him but first she calls them on a subspace radio and says "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money... but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career---25 years actually. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you." Who doesn't want this movie to happen?
That's my opinion too.
@Qwerty Bastard Then she would have had a muscly wiry look.
She did manual labour from childhood, everyday. In no way she could look soft, and like someone who hasn't worked a day in their life.
Just recalling - and whether this was fictional detective or not, I honestly don't remember but it makes sense! - an account of a woman, being tried for murder, throttling a bloke with her bare hands. It wasn't believed that she was capable - being a 'mere' female of the species. However, it was pointed out that she worked in a laundry, wringing out wet clothes and sheets! I think that dear Cinders, had she a mind to and in a darker version of the tale, would have been more than capable of breaking those Ugly Sisters in two.
Although UA-cam has recommended your videos to me in the past I've never watched one until now.
I was pleasantly surprised and you had me smiling throughout. Your sense of humor, energy and snark was well received on this end.
As a fan of the original BSG, of course Starbuck was my favorite character. When I heard that Starbuck was going to be a woman in the new series I was taken aback and a little angry, but of course as a total scifi nerd I still had to watch. Not only did I enjoy the show, but Starbuck remained my favorite character in it. The original character was a little 2 dimensional, but you took that role and brought a full 3 dimensions to it and lets just say it...girl you owned Starbuck.
I had a similar reaction. Kept thinking, "Sure, remake BSG, just give them new names. Why insist on same names?"
It put me off trying the series for years...which then let me binge watch it later, and I love Katee's portrayal of Kara Thrace.
My thing with gender bending is, if you do it, you have to make it worthwhile. Make the character unique. Don't genderbend just because, or to have more female "representation" in the cast. Make it serve the story. That's what they did with Starbuck and that's why people got over their initial dislike and started to embrace and then later love the character.
Funny. When they announced Starbuck would be a woman, I freaking cheered and said "FINALLY!".
I liked original Starbuck a lot. He fell in line with the pulse of society at the time. That being said, reboot Starbuck was also pretty great, like most or all of the female roles in BSG...well written characters that could stand alone with fairly robust back stories. You have to give a nod to the guys who rewrote BSG because the original show had like...4 girls in the whole galaxy, but they knocked it out of the park with a lot of the female rewrite characters and then took the extra 100 steps to cast actors who actually fit the script and acted the hell out of those roles (not wooden..cough..Brie Larson). I am not a total simp though, still a bit salty that Boxy was tragically left out of the reboot.
I was honestly a little surprised by the “female Starbuck controversy,” but I was skeptical the show in general would be any good. Eddie Olmos was in it, though, so I was more than willing to give it a shot. Katee’s Starbuck was the unexpected gem in the miniseries, and my skepticism of anything was shot to hell in the first 5 minutes.
Katee, I've said this before and it's worth saying again, I am a huge fan of your career as an actress but I am an even bigger fan of your presence on social media.
There is so much negativity on social media I think about deleting my accounts all the time. It's because of you, and a few others like you, that I keep my accounts active.
I really like hearing about the things that are important to you. But it's mostly little slices of life you share that I enjoy the most.
When you share those life slices it's a little bit like having a really cool roommate without all the annoying BS you would typically associate with having a roommate.
So... basically... thank you for being you. 🙂
You nailed it. Katee has been scrupulous about being positive and real, and it's paid dividends. Really enjoy it!
Aw thanks for watching Jonathan. I really do understand what you mean. I really try to focus on the positive and keep people smiling. 😬
And if you ever do get rid of your aviators I think a little piece of me would die inside. 🙃
I think what I love most is that when Katee is responding to some pretty negative comments, instead of saying 'blow it out your ass', she's still finding a way to respond but in a polite and respectful way. I think we could all learn from this.
I don't think the world is a better place because people say horrible things, but it is a better place because they CAN. If we take away that freedom things get bad. Real bad.
It's actually worse as only one side gets Carte Blanche.
... totally .... just look at history
Now you have Scottish (northern UK?) officials saying that they should be able to prosecute private speech in the home if it violates hate speech laws.
Uh oh, another person thinking limits on freedom of speech is A ok because someone may say something considered offensive. I wonder who would then be the arbiter of offensive speech.....???
Just be prepared to face the consequences when saying terrible things to other persons. People have been killed for way less. If you start being an asshole to someone just because you can, that guy may just snap and pull a gun at you. I'm all for freedom of speech but you don't have to be a dickhead when exercising said freedom.
Freedom of speech, apart from anything offensive, whom prey tell gets to decide what's offensive and what is not. People are offended by many different things, almost everything would be considered offensive, conversations would be reduced to saying you look great.
Katee Sackhoff is a national treasure.
Oh stop! 🥰🤣
Multi national my friends

@@KateeSackhoffOfficial don't sell yourself short, Katee. You are a rare combination of talent, incredible looks, intelligence, humbleness, honesty, and a heart of gold. Most of us have some of those qualities. I truly believe you have all of them, plus you're funny, and you're a dork, in a good way, LOL. Maybe not a national treasure, but you're a fantastic role model, not just for younger girls and women, but for anyone striving to be better.
Yes she is. You'll find a picture of Katie on the back of the Declaration of Independence 🤣
I also like movies where the women kick ass. Here is my superstar lineup: Katee and Tricia, Charlize Theron, Uma Thurman, Maggie Q, Gina Carano, Rhonda Rousey, and Milla Jovovich all staring in a female version of The Expendables. Better throw in Gal Gadot as well.

Just stumbled across your video. As a huge Star Wars fan I would just like to say I cannot wait to see you literally and physically flesh out the character of Bo-Katan. She was always one of my favorite characters regarding the lore of the Mandalorians. Your portrayal of her in animation was great and I would bet your live action portrayal of her will be just as good if not better.
Honestly, I can't think of another actor who is so forthcoming.
Very old and good advice that has been long lost: “if you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all”. I’m with you. I absolutely loved you in BG and Longmire. Thanks for doing these videos. They’re very cool. 😊👍👍
There's a world of difference between giving advice and IMPOSING your standards of behaviour on others, and this is what the Left refuses to understand. They are not in charge of how other people behave nor should they ever be. If you want to advise someone not to say nasty things, then do so, but where I draw the line in your insistence that others adhere to what you think is "good bahaviour". You don't get to make that determination on my bahalf.
@@motelghost477 why did you post this strange statement in response to my comment?
@@motelghost477 so.... Chivalry is dead for you sir, ok. Guess it just depends on how you were raised. Here in the south, most of us were raised to show respect and have good manners.
@@AnthonyAllenJr Yet so many of us Southern folks fail so miserably at it. I live here too and the manners of our great grandfathers are long gone. Just because you call someone Sir/ Mam before insulting them doesn't make it good manners. Chivalry is indeed dead, as courage, honor, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak (this doesn't mean women btw) seems to be a world most Republicans do not wish to live in, if you go by their actions these days. And I fully agree with aceadman (for Gilles 82), “if you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all” and if you're just so twisted in your beliefs and you just have to be a misogynistic, racist, homophobic, entitled neanderthal out loud, then don't whine when you get hit with consequences for saying horrible stuff. No one on the left wants free speech taken away, they want you to grow up and understand that action and speech have consequences and just because you do not agree with people's "lifestyle" doesn't make you the spokesperson for all that is right. Basically if you don't like it, don't go away mad, just go away.

Your assumption that most people have a highly developed sense of self-regulation and empathy towards others (and therefore will pause before exercising their FoS) is probably unrealistic. The penetration of social media into many (all?) aspects of daily life, and the subsequent disconnect with a sense of personal accountability has created an environment of extremes that's reflected in our sociopolitical discourse.
A 21st century Tower of Babel, with people fortifying their individual silos with specifically-selected information based on personal preferences that only reinforces their biases.
And on a lighter note, love your shows and your skills as an actor! 🖖
You have the widest, most brilliant smile - it's like the best sunbeams. I know I'm fangirling but honestly, I adore your personality & your acting. This channel is so excellent. Thank you. (I'm still envious AF that you & Tricia H are great friends.)
Minor nitpick: Freedom of speech as a concept and a right doesn't stop when someone's being mean. If you're about to say something hurtful, you should stop, but we shouldn't make such statements illegal.
Also, and I don't mean to be a jerk or anything, but I think you were fantastic in Longmire and BSG, and I'm very happy I stumbled across your channel today.
(I wrote that sentence that way because there seems to be a rule that nothing ever good ever comes after "I don't mean to be a ___, but..." and I wanted to break it)
... the problem is ... who decides something is hurtful ... what matters is INTENT not some elses interpretation ... and ONLY the person making a statement knows their intent
Yup. Don't mix up a freedom vs manners
Never saw BSG, but anyone dissing your ‘actor skills’ needs to re-watch Longmire. Incredible role, amazing actor, awesome human being (and adorable to boot)!

Around 24 minutes, you address the person giving you career advice, it reminded me of a podcast on NPR that spoke to expectations and how they impact persons with disabilities. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, it was refreshing
You're awesome.. Actually you could've been in Terminator. I do see some Linda Hamilton in you also🙂.

I LOVE watching you!! Your smile and honesty makes me happy every time! Keep doing you lady!!
Hi Katee, thankyou for your comments regarding women in movies, I grew up seeing movies and reading books and thinking that women with strength of personality, will and body are important. I was taught growing up that women must be protected and cherished, but I dislike that you are supposed to be helpless just because you are a female. My mother when she was a girl, apparently beat up some neighborhood boys when they picking on her younger sister. Being made to feel helpless wether male or female is a terrible feeling and shouldn't be inflicted on anyone, not to say that it can't feel good to be the protector. I love the way you think about this, I have have enjoyed your characters in what i have seen. I also think the old saying of if can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. Also keep on keeping on , the world needs the positiveness and openness. Cheers
One of the most badass actors ever! You will always be my Bo Katan!
Tom hanks will always be my Bo Katan but she will always be my Jack Bower.
the person who "remembers a time when actors spent more time on their craft than in the gym" must have a very selective memory... "back in the day", actors had to learn fencing, horseback riding, elocution, and a host of other things in addition to their lines and "how to act" ... it was never just about acting, but the other skills did used to be well hidden from the general public... these days, Errol Flynn would be all over instagram showing off the latest saddle-trick he learned, or talking about how gruelling the fencing practice is... being at a particular level of fitness is a necessary part of the job and most of us couldn't do it. i certainly can't memorize all those lines! that's why i make the props and sets :)
I wondered if someone would make this comment. I guess the person who wrote about "working on their craft" also missed the various biographical novels, and shows, on the old Studio System back in the day.
@Future Society Of Gentlemen Actors like that are rarer than rocking horse 💩 now.
it's almost like this is *work* or something!
When I heard that Ronald D Moore had decided to gender swap Starbuck, I was upset. I mean "Buck"?? Damned ridiculous decision!
Then I watched Katie's kick-ass (literally) performance and was blown away. There is no other Starbuck.
Okay, that's out of my system. Sorry Ms Sackoff, for making this about a single role you've had, when you're so much more, but the Starbuck comments were pissing me off.
btw I like the "Katie Sackoff" role the best! She's an amazingly likeable character and you've perfected her. You go girl!
I love how genuine of a person you are! I think that’s something we don’t see as much with actors. Your willingness to speak your mind about anything. You’re Bo Katan in real life!
Fan-Fucn-Tastic! Favorite episode! It was like Kimmel’s “Mean Tweets” Katee edition.
Recommendation: Keep this segment! Just don’t over play it and it will be BALLS!!!! 😃 Or it could turn out to be balls....😢
I'm not a fan of aviator glasses which is why I don't wear them. Never felt the need to run round telling others not to wear them either. I think some people just really need to attempt to exert power and control over others. Like trying to tell you how you should or shouldn't sculpt your own body, lol. Or what you should refer to yourself as. Some people are really just aholes and jerks.
You do you boo, it's working for you.
P.S. I never got into BSG (though I liked you in it) but your youtube channel makes me want to try and watch it again. ✌
Battlestar Galactic 2000s is soo much better than the late 70s tv show. Yes, I saw the original - you did a great job playing Starbuck.
Katee, just found you in the last couple of years as an ACTOR and just found your UA-cam channel. Love your personality and your response with calling ppl on their BS comments. You are amazing and please continue to be who you are.
"Freedom of speech" not allowed to hurt someone's feeling isn't freedom of speech at all. The real problem is not someone's words and speech that hurt or offend us, but why we feel hurt or offended. When we understand this, we become stronger than any stupid speech or word.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of consequences from said speech. Too many people don't understand this.
@@tcroshon70 On point. 👍
@@tcroshon70 ... said the communist before sending the the citizen to the gulag ... You can excuse any censorship with that logic ...
You can criticize the party but hey ... we will "reeducate" you if you will ... By that logic China also has free speech ...
Just stumbled across this channel today and I am damn impressed with Katee's content! It's fantastic to see such an interesting journey from a person in the entertainment business. She genuinely seems to work hard at whatever she's doing.
'Would you say it to someone's face?' We try to teach the kids at our school exactly this. I loved 'is the world a better place because you said that?' I'm going to use that with the kids.
Can u do and episode about the dogs please?
Dogs you say!? Absolutely! Ps...thank you for being a teacher! My mom was a teacher and I have a soft spot for all of the good ones. 😘
BRAVO Katee!! As a UA-cam creator this video really resonates with me. its always hard to deal with the comments. I appreciate this video so much!
On freedom of speech
“To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.” G.K. Chesterton
UA-cam's algorithms work in mysterious ways... I enjoyed this video. You're funny and you have a great laugh. I liked you as Starbuck too.
Yay algorithms!!
It was a jerk comment, but freedom of speech is MEANT for the speech we hate, because you wouldn't want to stop the speech you don't mind.
Yes, that's pretty obvious. This was no grand statement or thought that would shock society to the point that someone needed to ban the comment. I believe the point was to call it what it was... being a dick. So yes, you are free to be a dick. I think Deadpool and Ricky Gervais can get away with it without losing friends.
Love you, Katee. You're a badass!!
i really love how u two are basically having conversations and including us who are watching in it, it feels really natural
Seeing you in Mandalorien made my day! Awesome character and looks like we'll be seeing you again soon 😍 Amaze-balls!!
Ugh, the sass, the intellect, the sense of humor ....I can’t with you Katee you’re too much I love iiiiiiiit!!
The issue is kindness. Freedom of speech is important, but when you aren’t coming from a place of kindness you should just count to ten and ask yourself if it really needs to be said. (Karma beetches!)
I very much agree. On the other side of the coin though is that freedom of speech, in order to represent the true liberty this country has afforded us all, has to allow for all the ugly stuff and all the ugly (mean) people.
And another way to look at it is that through freedom of speech, we can better identify the assholes from the good ones lol.
Cuz reality is they’re both out there whether we like it or not so while mean people say hurtful things, they do reveal who they are by doing so and i for one would much rather know than not know, just because they aren’t “allowed” to say what they really think. If that makes any sense.:)
you are not owed respect, your feelings should not dictate the parameters of anyone elses speech. "freedom of speech, but" - there is no but. either you believe in it or you dont - and you clearly dont, so dont tap dance around it.
I like to see it more about freedom of speech not being the same as freedom from consequence. A person is entitled to say what they want, but if it’s offensive, they shouldn’t be surprised when they get backlash.
@@gilgamesh310 well then by that logic youre not free from the consequences of trying to impose consequences on me.
Unfortunately, kindness is a dirty word in today's socio-political climate. People want to be assholes just for the sake of being assholes.
I just wanted to pop in here and say that you are a delightful human.
Some years ago I stumbled on your channel and was impressed about the transparency with regard to what you go through to get screen ready and how that's not always the most maintainable thing unless it's for a specific purpose.
I wasn't really even familiar with your body of work.
Imagine my surprise when the algorithm deigned send you across my recommended again and I went "omg the cool person I watched before was bo katan?!"
I see that it's been a long time since this was posted but I felt compelled to say that you have brightened my day. Thank you!
Katee: Better Starbuck
Dirk: Better hair
Not that Katee has bad hair by any means, but Dirk's mane was glorious. It was like golden waves of beer breaking on a shore of Dirk's face. If you think that's a weird analogy, well it is. Dirk was awesome as Starbuck too of course, but punchy Katee was better ☺
I honestly think each of them was perfect in their version of the show.

"asshole" is so subjective. I think we can agree that an asshole is a totally abrasive, rude, anti-social troll. Anything more aggressive than that is an assailant - yes?

I left social media because of comments like the Starbuck one. I'm tired of people trolling pages to just be mean and then moving on. I've never understood why people can't just scroll past things they don't agree with on someone's personal page and keep comments like that to an appropriate discussion forum. It's so rude and hateful, I just don't get it. 🤷
I love that you guys just laugh and move on. 💜
Thank you for understanding what I was talking about. People hide behind freedom of speech when in reality they are just trolling to hurt others.
Katee Sackhoff
True, but Freedom of Speech is specifically designed to protect speech that is unpopular. I get it, I left social media for the same reason as Kendra. Too many Trolls just talking smack. The problem is, it’s a very slippery slope to pick whatever is offensive and not. Who judges? I just realized that, for some people, Twitter is the equivalent of a bathroom stall and a sharpie pen so I ignore them.
I appreciate you having a reasonable peaceful
debate here. I believe Freedom of speech was created to protect us from the government and our right to voice our criticisms of said governments and protest injustice....not so we could tell people on social media we think they are fat and awful and should’ve never gotten out of bed today 😳
It’s sad that so many have left social media because of the rampant hate that is unjustly directed at so many. We can disagree and still be polite. 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@@KateeSackhoffOfficial always, yes, ALWAYS, remember that the majority are fans and that the few negatives shouldn't hold any gravity compared.
"Garbage is always best when it is disposed of."
- Me- 2020
I've never been on twitter or instagram and yet I would be eager to get on either one, but with the negativity and the trolling on them as well as on youtube, I sometimes wonder if those who do the trolling are aware of the damage they're causing and if they sick enough to enjoy it without knowing about the consequences. The film Audrie & Daisy on Netflix illustrate the point. The age of mean has to end somehow.
When I first heard that they were changing Starbuck and Boomer to women, I was not happy about it. That is until I saw Starbucks at Starbucks, it made me realize that the remake was not to cancel Battlestar, but to tell an updated version of battlestar. I did love the way you and Grace park played Boomer and Starbuck, you two fit the roles, the only thing I did not like about your character was that the show did not fully explain what you were and why like they did with the final five
Thanks for watching. Not fully explaining what Starbuck was was a choice by Ron Moore. He purposely wanted to leave it ambiguous for the viewer. As far as the final five....I don’t know what his reasoning was. 👍🏻
@@KateeSackhoffOfficial Ok, that makes sense, now I understand why the character was always asking what she was, because it was a mystery to the audience as well as her
@@KateeSackhoffOfficial I always thought the Starbuck that came back from death was an angel from god with Starbuck's body and memories to make it easier for them to follow her as she lit the way to Earth 2.
Is Robin interested in ever watching BSG? Or would that be too weird. It's a good Fraking show Robin!
I love that your dog is just chillin' in the background.
“We don’t call athletes, athlettas.” No other person would ever say that...ever...and that’s one of the many reasons why I love Katee Sackhoff. 😆
Also...my mom always said things like...”if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” I think that’s a pretty good rule in life, there’s waaay to much negativity these days. Can’t wait for season two Katee!
Us men do say the worst things but we don't mean them, push comes to shove most guys are just trying to be "cool".
Katee - the people coming for you for being to fit and muscular is insane. It like all the people that used to go after Michelle Obama for being so in shape and calling her all sorts of nasty things. Western societies "conformed" image of what makes a woman attractive all comes from a historically unhealthy male viewpoint that is finally starting to change. Keep up the good work.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I just saw your appearance in The Mandalorian....OMG!!! INCREDIBLE...AND NOW YOU ARE IN 3 OF MY TOP 5 ALLTIME SERIES!!! YOU 🎸
From what I observe, people hate/dislike things and they feel the must announce it to the whole world, and why. Quite often it seems they'll write a small book about it. People who like things tend to give a sentence and leave it at that. Just what i observe so meh :) BTW keep doing you. You're awesome and seem like the nicest person.
As someone who wants to go into the acting profession as a career, I think it would be really cool to see a video of your methods for getting into character, script learning techniques and any tips you have for someone trying to get their foot in the door 😊 it's such a difficult place to get started and having tips and tricks from someone in the business would be awesome (also Starbuck is like one of my favourite characters ever so would love to learn from the best!)
Man, I miss Starbuck's laugh in BSG, especially when she would make Lee's life a living hell. Katee, you were among my favorite actors in that show (along with James Edward Olmos and Michael Hogan). I've gotta find another friend to watch BSG with.
I've been a fan of Katee's for years but just discovered this channel and it is a true blessing. Thank you Katee for letting us as fans see what a down to Earth amazing person that you are.
Richard hatch was actually a family friend and your personality reminds me of him when he’d come over for dinner with my parents! P.s. I think you were the better Starbuck 😊
I miss him
Same. My mom called him her 5th child, irony is he’s 2years older than my dad 😜
Yeah, I met Richard Hatch the actor twice at 2 different conventions. He's such a great guy.
When ppl comment, they should ask themselves, "would i say this on my friend's Instagram post?"
100%
You totally need to do an ax throwing episode! Get some of your cast members and make it a team competition!
Your online personality warmed my heart. Thank you. 😊
I love the idea 'Is the world better if ... ?"
So much nonsense could easily be filtered if that was the guiding principle.
So much better the world could be!
I somehow found this channel in UA-cam and I love it. Consider me a fan!
Yay!! ❤️
The UA-cam algorithm got it right- it suggested this video to me! You have a great attitude. Keep up the good work!
What I'd like to know is how You Tube knew to recommend this video to me because I'd started watching (for the first time I might add) the reruns of Battlestar Galactica on the BBC (free to air TV) and not via my PC? Spooky, as my TV and PVR are not 'smart' units connected to the interweb...
Thank you so much! I always feel like I have to defend myself for running on the balls of my feet, but it's exactly as you said.: Shoe companies built shoes to encourage running from heel to toe, but if you weren't wearing these shoes, you would hurt yourself. Running on the balls of your feet is natural. Plus, the foot is made up of small bones packed with muscle, which helps to distribute and absorb shock. Running on your heel sends all that shock up your legs and make your knees and hips hurt.
Katee and Starbuck are both people that would be awesome to hang out with.
I would choose Katee Sackhoff's Starbuck Whiskey over Ryan Reynolds' Aviation Gin any day of the week...
littlejason99 - damn, I thought that was a actual product for a minute! I’d buy me some of that.

Hey Katee,
I'm not a big one for leaving comments. But I felt the need with this one. I'm stuck at home, chewing through some vacation days at home during these lovely COVID times (use em or lose em), and this video brightened my day. Many moons ago I worked security in the film/tv biz in Toronto. While I never had the opportunity to work with a production with which you were associated. It was my experience that most actors were down to earth and quite approachable, if you gave them half a chance. I've enjoyed watching many of your UA-cam vids. Your blunt honesty and winning smile are a great combination. Keep it up. :)
my only complaint is around 7 minutes when you missed the opportunity to say "I was looking for Spartan training videos and this POOPED up."
other than that lack of juvenile toilet humor this video was delightful (as are all your videos)
Huge BSG fan, own all seasons and also loving 'Another Life" can't wait for another season!
would watch the poop out of a knife throwing video!!!
Thank you for being amazing and sharing a corner of your life with your fans!
"Try hard not to offend, but try even harder not to be offended." People have paper thin skin these days. It really sucks.
"I think that we should spend less time projecting what we think women should be - or anyone should be, for that matter - and more time realising that nothing limits anyone from playing any role, except imagination." Brilliantly stated, and somebody needs to write a completely new Cinderella one of these days: polite and well-mannered, but still quite capable and assertive. Sorry I don't have a treatment to pitch, yet, but I'd love to see you as that kind of Cinderella.
You make me smile. You are the greatest channel I’ve found on UA-cam. I’m of 2 minds: first, I’m in total awe of you as an actor. I could see myself going all fanboy if we were to meet. Second, from watching your channel, I could see hanging out with you just having a beer and talking. I just did watch your spartan race, you amazed me!
I actually kinda have to agree with the "most underrated actor" comment.
There´s plenty actresses they seem to actively try to push on us as the audience that are actually very unremarkable.
What´s that captain america actress again? Can´t even remember her name right now... Katee is way waY WAY better and more memorable and has a WAY wider range of emotions and things she can portray believably than that forgettable woman.... So yeah. Kind of agree with the sentiment of that comment.
Freedom of speech that stops with what someone deems “hurtful” puts terrible limits on speech. If we can’t say something that unwittingly and unintentionally offends ANYONE else , we can’t say ANYTHING because someone is always going to be offended. Offense is taken, it isn’t given. You have the right to say anything you want. It doesn’t mean you can’t face consequences for what is said but you have every right to say it. It could be the most vile and offensive thing and you have the right to say it. If it makes you a social pariah or effects you negatively, that’s the risk you take but you have EVERY right to say it. Go watch George Carlin. The idea that he couldn’t exist in the world of comedy TODAY because of cancel culture these days is beyond atrocious.
This idea you put forward about limiting free speech to keep offensive things out of the discourse is beyond dangerous. Who gets to decide what is offensive? You, Katee? Or is there a board we appear before to get a ruling on our speech? The government?
That is such a dangerous path to start down.
That was eloquent and well reasoned in my opinion. Scotland has just introduced some frightening anti free speech laws which means people can be prosecuted and jailed for things said in their own homes. Incredible but true.
_"Freedom of speech that stops with what someone deems “hurtful” puts terrible limits on speech."_
Depends on what 'hurtful' means. We have laws against defamation, which is hurtful. In Canada, we have laws against hate speech, which means you can't go around publicly calling black people niggers, or saying Muslims are evil and should be shot. Or that native people are all lazy drunk leeches. This is a good thing. A good rule of thumb is, if you wouldn't say something to someone in person, you shouldn't say it behind someone's back in public.
_"If we can’t say something that unwittingly and unintentionally offends ANYONE else , we can’t say ANYTHING because someone is always going to be offended."_
Hyperbole. We can still say 99.99999% of everything we want to say. Freedom of speech doesn't mean you get to be a bigoted asshole.
_"Offense is taken, it isn’t given."_
Nonsense. Most of the time when people say offensive things, they KNOW it's offensive, which is why they say it. It's intentional.
_"You have the right to say anything you want. It doesn’t mean you can’t face consequences for what is said but you have every right to say it"_
Nonsense. If there are 'consequences' to what you say, that means you are being punished for what you say. That's what 'consequences' means. I have the freedom to yell death threats at someone, no one is s stopping me. But there are legal 'consequences' for doing so.
_"Who gets to decide what is offensive?"_
We all do. And chances are, the person saying something offensive already knows it's offensive.
At the same time, if you want to argue that people are often taking offense too easily, I would agree with that. Sometimes people are too sensitive. There's a balance to everything.
@@squatch545 Where in the first amendment does it specifically state that you don’t have a right to be a bigoted asshole? You most certainly do have that right. Now, don’t confuse or conflate that statement to mean I support being a bigoted asshole. I’m a 37 year old black man and if you want to call me a nigger, you have the right to do so. By right, I mean you won’t be arrested and sequestered away for saying it. You might be fired from your job, you might be ostracized by your friends, you might become a social pariah, but you have the right to be a bigoted asshole in that you can’t be prosecuted for saying the word nigger.
Words, not actions and not incitement of violence, but WORDS are not illegal. You are speaking more to the social contract we have with each other rather than the actual Bill of Rights. You can call me a nigger and, as long as you aren’t beating or robbing me or committing a crime, you have done nothing illegal. Now; if you start throwing around that word while committing a crime against me, THAT is where we get into hate crime territory. But simply walking by and calling me nigger is perfectly legal. Doesn’t mean you won’t get a bloody nose, though. It just means you won’t be arrested.
And yes, the culture these days is so quick to take offense that it almost negates the point. If comedians like Pryor and Carlin and Robin Williams couldn’t survive in the cancel culture madness of today, those being some of the most influential voices for a generation, then we’ve gone too far down the road of over-correction. Pryor spoke to and influenced a lot of black men, myself included.
@@squatch545 Can you provide a list of words that are illegal? Just words, not a call to action but words themselves.
@@romanaghost THAT is the kind of terrifying nonsense that comes from this current trend to want to suppress offensive speech. Again, who decides what is offensive? And do those deciding have the power to take away my other rights (by imprisonment, etc)? Elected officials don’t speak for everyone (hence the partisan nonsense we are in now) so how do you equitably handle the government punishing “offensive” speech?
