Meet Crazy Lee

Posted on November 24, 2011 by

That was fast. Only a few weeks after she started filming Falling Skies, the first image of Luciana as Crazy Lee has appeared.

If I was one of the invading aliens, I’d be very, very scared right now. From the looks of it, the name Crazy Lee seems to be a very fitting one. If this doesn’t make you want to watch Falling Skies, then I don’t know what will. Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing her kick some alien butt.

The photo was released by Luciana herself, she currently uses it as her profile picture on Twitter. Yes, in case you haven’t heard already, Luciana was pressured into joining Twitter by her Falling Skies cast mates. So now she started tweeting about her work on the series, stating that she has finished filming the fourth episode. Let’s hope she continues to share interesting details about her work.

BIG NEWS: Recurring role on Falling Skies

Posted on November 6, 2011 by

Wonderful news! Luciana has a recurring role on Steven Spielberg’s science-fiction series Falling Skies!

The series takes place during the aftermath of a worldwide alien invasion and follows a group of human survivors who try to wage a guerrilla war against the aliens, whose motives and goals are unknown. Noah Wyle and Moon Bloodgood play the lead roles.

Five years after she left Battlestar Galactica, Luciana is back working on a science-fiction show again (not counting Caprica), and after fighting the Cylons on BSG, fighting for the survival of humanity against another superior enemy should be no problem for her.

Next to Luciana, her Battlestar Galactica and Caprica co-star Ryan Robbins also has a role in the second season of Falling Skies. And they aren’t the only people from BSG who started working on the series recently, the trend continues behind the camera as well, with writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle joining the crew. Not only did they write excellent Battlestar Galactica episodes (i.e. “Scar”) that focused on military matters in the fleet, which makes them the perfect choice for writing interesting stories about Falling Skies’ resistance movement. They are also the people who created Luciana’s BSG character Kat when they introduced her in 1.04 “Act of Contrition”. So let’s hope they get to write some interesting, challenging and action-oriented scenes for Luciana.

It’s not known how many episodes she will appear in, but she started filming on Monday this week. Hopefully the producers and writers keep her around for as long as possible and give her an interesting storyline.

Falling Skies is filmed in Vancouver and season 2 will premiere in summer 2012.

November anniversaries

Posted on November 1, 2011 by

On the first of each month, we look back at TV premieres, appearances at conventions, and other key dates in Luciana’s public life that occurred this month one or more years ago.

Luciana attended a number of conventions, two of them in Europe, and several BSG episodes with Kat premiered in November:

  • November 8,2004: This was a very special day – the day that started it all, in a way. It was the first time that Luciana’s most interesting character to date was seen on TV, because her very first BSG episode, “Act of Contrition”, premiered on the British channel Sky One, introducing Kat to the series. (Battlestar Galactica section at the fansite)
  • November 3 and 17, 2006: The episodes “Torn” and “Hero” of Battlestar Galactica air.
  • November 9-11, 2007: Luciana attends the “Wolf: Crossroads” convention. It’s her first con in Germany, and her second one in Europe after the Utopia 8, which had been held just three weeks earlier. Both editors of this blog were there as well and have very fond memories of the event. :-) (Crossroads con at the fansite, with pages for reports, photos and other goodies)
  • November 27-29, 2009: Luciana is a surprise guest for the “Mission Starfury: The Cylon Attack” convention near London, England. Other guests include Luciana’s Battlestar Galactica and Caprica castmates Leah Cairns, Kate Vernon, Jamie Bamber, James Callis and Alessandra Torresani as well as several actors from Firefly.

  • November 12-14, 2010: Austin Comic Con takes place in Texas. (Austin Comic Con on this blog)

LSQ.TV video interview

Posted on October 5, 2011 by

The Entertainment Media Show in London is over, and I hope many of you were able to attend the event and meet Luciana.

Leicester Square Television, a UK company that specializes in red carpet videos, did a 6 minute long video interview with Luciana at the con. Of course the main topic is Battlestar Galactica, including her casting and Kat’s death. But she also talks about how much she loves meeting her fans, working with Will Ferrell on Blades of Glory, and how shy she was as a kid (and anyone who has met this outgoing and charming person will find it hard to believe just how shy she was).

You can watch the video in the player below:
