Three of the hawt babes from Battlestar Galactica get a Jane Fonda makeover and transform into full-on Sixties kitsch mode for this GQ photoshoot. It's just another jarring piece of Katee Sackhoff's plan to remind us all she can be femme, plus another sign NBC/Universal will do anything to boost BSG in its final season. Mostly, though, it's a reminder of how self-mocking and retro Battlestar isn't, in spite of all the cheesy Jesus, fluffy prophecies and Bob Dylan epiphanies. Click on the big-hair pic to make it even bigger. [GQ Blog, thanks AJR!]

Hee, supersoakers, painted black. They nailed the TOS trek-set design.
Anyone have ratings for the season four opener?
It gets no more hot than that.
Where's president Rosalyn?
FINALLY! News you can use!!!
Now I want the fetish pics of Gaeta.
TIRED. Seriously, menfolk, do you ever get tired of having sexy women thrown at you constantly? (My sources point to no.)
My gods.
@taxbaby: Do you ever get tired of whinging and attempting to point out our faults? (my sources point to no)
Oh.. and you're right, we don't.
@Gina Trapani: Puts everything in perspective, doesn't it?
@taxbaby: Oh come on. We ladies like it too. Honestly I'm not sick of it yet.
@taxbaby: Your sources are correct, but the point can be broken down further.
a) Do we ever get tired of having any good thing thrown at us? No.
b) Do we ever get tired of sexy? No. (And thanks JT for bringing it back.)
c) Do we ever get tired of women? No. (Except for those of us where the words men or men/women or men/women/that-sounds-interesting should be substituted.)
The long and short? We menfolk are easily entertained.
@taxbaby:
Hey, if I have to have a woman thrown at me, sexy is always a plus. Of course, her being able to carry on an intelligent conversation is also a big plus. And a love of Sci-Fi can't hurt.
Those last two are harder to take pictures of.
Crunchy thinks those gals can man his starship any time... "that was such a cheap impulsive comment..."
@taxbaby:
Those sources of yours are correct.
Time Warp! Capt. Kirk just got a chubby!
@Ryan H: That's why they're called Money Shots!
It was a question, not an accusation, y'all. No? Never? I imagine it as living surrounded by romance novel covers- the glistening pectorals would get oppressive after a while.
Surprisingly, I am not excited in the crotchatorial region upon viewing this foto.
Seems too forced for me.
Sorry to let you all down.
@Plague: Admit it. You are excited in your coccyxial region though.
@Annalee Newitz:
Not there, either.
I did do a full body exam.
@taxbaby: No, Never.
Imagine if women got to eat fine French cuisine for sustenance and men had to eat saltines. We probably wouldn't understand why you lot got so jazzed about this food thing.
oh, and we're remarkably shallow.
@taxbaby: Surrounded by romance novel covers? glistening pectorals? long flowing hair and period dress?
*sweats*
Yes...oppressive.
*sweats some more*
I want to know how they managed to unsexify Grace Park in this picture.
I like the way Grace Park is hating the photog's guts for making her hold such an awkward and uncomfortable pose. Nothing says sexy like a leg cramp. But the prize for unintentional comedy in the shot goes to Katee (my head is evidently on fire ) Sackhoff.
I recognize Boomer and Starbuck but who is the one standing up? I love the show but can't figure out who she is.
**Ducks to avoid the objects thrown by hardcore Galactica fans**
@EracMan: Dude, it's Six!
@lazlopink: Yeah, her leg does look twisted unnaturally.
@BullfightsOnAcid: Seriously. Hottest woman on the Battlestar, as far as I'm concerned.
But then, I've always thought a bit differently...
D00d! I would totally watch Barbarellastar Galactica!
Is that skin-tight fabric over Number Six's stomach, or does she just not have a navel?
@Midwest_Product: She has no navel. She's a test tube baby. Her father was a bunsen beaker, her mother a petrie dish.
It's too bad Seelix and Racetrack aren't included.
WHAT? No Great Tyrant? Or is that going to be a separate photo shoot with D'Anna, Roslin, and Dee?
Is that a lion's mane on Katee Sackhoff's head or a wig gone horribly wrong?!?! Jeez, even Grace Park looks like she belongs on the cover of "Import Tuner Magazine", draped over a tricked out Honda.
Never thought I'd say that it, but I'd rather see those dames in their fatigues than those getups. Except for Tricia Helfer, who is incapable of looking less than stunning in any situation.
Freaky! I love it!
Is Grace Park holding a "Cricket"?
Good times... very good times...
I didn't know Edward James Olmos could do that to his hair.
@darcymcgee: Naw, I think Rosalyn is hot as well... total naughty librarian vibe. Why yes, I was speaking too loudly and you DO have to discipline me.
But I wouldn't throw out any of these girls for eating crackers in bed.
Dear Battlestar Galactica publicists:
Where's my fangirl pic of scantily clad Bamber, Penikett, and Trucco?
kthxballs,
apronk
@Annalee Newitz & apronk: Now if only we could get Helo, Anders and Apollo wrestling in an oil pit and have Gaeta telling us all about his draedus. Although I love the idea of Gaeta and Mr Hoshi in some sort of fetish gear on a raptor. We know Gaeta's a freak, he must be!!
Why oh Why do we not objectify men for the delicious & tasty sex objects they can be? I mean, we need more than the Apollo Towel Scene (which gets all caps cos it's that fucking important), we need naughty half naked oiled up sexy pics of those BSG boys too!
Granted I am not complaining, cos even as a girl I can say that I would go totally gay for any of those ladies of the Galactica.
@taxbaby: You have excellent sources.
If this was an America's Next Top Model episode I think Katee would get kicked off that week, what's up with the Supersoaker and the awful lion's mane on her head?
@blackeyedgurl: Exactly. I was going to add "not that I'm complaining" after my letter. You said it for me.
So, any news on the Barbarella remake? Because if it looks anything like this, it's be like printing money.
Does anyone else think they should have painted one green and made one other blue with antennae? It would have fit better with the set.
@steven522: Yes, but I think that about most girls.
I'm afraid that's more-or-less what they always looked like to me.. semi-creepy Charlie's-Angels looking...
-Kle.
Blogpost (in German) about BSG vs. Barbarella:
[scififans.blogspot.com]
oh hell yes! hell fucking yes! this my friends is MY new background!
I want to see Madame Airlock in that picture, with a leather outfit, spike heels, and whips.
Just me? OK, fine.
@snotcopter: Um, so say we all?
Cougars need luv too!
So where's the wallpaper-sized version... ?
Since they remake everything, Tricia should be Barbarella.
And where are the Space Studz? Manly men with exposed torsos?
@quetzilla: It is impossible to unsexify Grace Park.
@taxbaby: Some of would prefer to see *you* in a skimpy outfit in a sexy Barbarella homage, but OUR sources say that will likely never happen.
