After seeing Battlestar Galactica's epic mid-season finale last week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mary McDonnell (pictured left) to discuss her character's presidency, her relationships and how she, as an actor, sees the overall story. She also gave up a tease or two about what we can expect when the show returns to finish its run. Read on...
A brief excerpt:

One of my favorite moments was the scene between you and Jamie Bamber, during which Laura gives Lee her approval. The two have butted heads all season, but now, Laura seems to appreciate his abilities as a leader.
Well, I think she's known since the beginning. If you look back, there's a scene on Colonial One, where she recognizes that he's the one. All along, in her mind she's been thinking about how to keep an eye on him and gage if he's prepared [for the presidency]. So even in his opposition to her, she gets it. She just wants him out of the way so she can finish her agenda. But there's a part of her that's [proud of him]. That's her subtext, anyway. We don't necessarily talk about it. But that's why we had that moment [in the mid-season finale], because the discussion behind-the-scenes was sort of like this. [Executive producer] Ron Moore always knew how Laura and I, Mary, saw Lee. And the writing staff, they started tweaking [Lee and Laura's relationship] very subtly in this episode. But to play the antagonism between them has been really cool, because you know she still goes home and says, yeah, he's the one. He's got all the stuff, the sizzle and the drive and he can take it the next step. That's what she's concerned about.
