Fuzzy on frakkin' 'BSG' storylines? So is the cast

TORONTO -- The title of the video clip on the "Battlestar Galactica" website says it all: "What the frak is going on?"

As the dark, critically acclaimed show heads into its fourth and final season this Friday on Space in Canada and SciFi Channel in the U.S., Vancouver-raised actress Grace Park, who plays comely pilot Sharon Valereii (a.k.a. Boomer and Athena), even has trouble recalling everything that's happened on the series so far.
"Where did we end off with those two? Hmm, um, well," Park said during a recent interview, her voice trailing off as she tried to remember the subplot involving her character's baby.
Collecting her thoughts, the five-foot-nine former model adored by many a sci-fi geek quickly rhymed off most of the storyline before losing her train of thought again.
"I forget what else happens," she said with a laugh. "So much happens on this show, damn it!"

As we head into the last 20 episodes that make up Season 4, one humanoid cylon remains a secret, but Park isn't revealing his or her identity.
"We still have nine more episodes to (shoot) so I really don't know how it's going to end," Park said with a laugh.
"And I really don't know the final fifth cylon so don't ask me! I'll just make it up!"

So just how do actors in the large ensemble cast - which also includes the venerable Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, James Callis, Tricia Helfer, Jamie Bamber and Katee Sackhoff - follow the labyrinthine story when they're not in every scene? Do they read the script in its entirety?
Not necessarily, said Park.
"Some people, they don't necessarily know what's going on ... we always love to tease each other. It's like, `You do know there's like a full story going on, right? Like, you have read the episode that you're not in, right?' ... it is so intricate so if you just read your bits you are not going to know the full story and then you can't really milk the storyline."
