Katee Sackhoff Is On, as Bionic Woman's Baddie

Not long after her
semiconspicuous absence from
Bionic Woman's TCA press tour session,
Katee Sackhoff and NBC agreed to terms that will make her a recurring player on the new series, says the
Hollywood Reporter. Sackhoff's Sarah, a bionic woman herself (but one in
desperate need of debugging), plays a meaty role in the pilot. Despite being passed off thus far as a recurring cast member, the actress and the studio had actually still been negotiating terms.
According to the trade mag, some had speculated that Sackhoff - a bit of an icon to the lesbian community from her run as
Battlestar Galactica's Starbuck - had taken issue with
Bionic Woman's hiring of Isaiah Washington, yet others deny that that played into her holdout. (
I hear she was lobbying to make her borg an eco-friendly hybrid.)
