The following contains MAJOR spoilers for the second season of "Battlestar Galactica."

According to Katee Sackhoff, the character she plays on "Battlestar Galactica," Lieutenant Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, is one of the most flawed characters on the series. And the actress likes it that way.

In an interview in the latest TV Zone magazine, Sackhoff said, "I was really impressed with how my character's story arc unfolded last year. Starbuck learned a great deal about herself, and at the end of the season we see her crack."

"Prior to that shed been sort of 'Super Starbuck,' and always did her job and saved everyone. She was perfect, spot on, and then lost it completely. I enjoyed that, and, in fact, have asked the show's producers and writers if we could keep that up this season," she said. "I really want to drive home the point that Starbuck is human and has flaws. She's probably one of the most flawed characters on the series as well as one who's extremely scared."

What can fans expect to learn about Starbuck in the upcoming season? "There are quite a few skeletons in her closet, and some of them are going to be coming out in year two, which I'm excited about," she said.

The cast and crew are hard at work filming new episodes, and Sackhoff finds she's had to confront the elements as well as human-appearing Cylons.

"The story that we're shooting right now, part one of 'Home,' is when Starbuck returns to the Galactica from Caprica after having travelled there to retrieve the Arrow of Apollo," said Sackhoff. "She has the arrow, which the audience already knows, and our heroes have to now go to Kobol and the Tomb of Athena where they will supposedly find the directions to Earth. There's a huge group heading down to the planet, including Starbuck, Apollo, President Roslin, Tom Zarek and a couple of Zarek's men."

"We're on location for most of this episode, and our first day out, the 1st of June, it poured and was extremely windy," she said. "I was purple and shivering, and at one point our first aid guy came up to me and said, 'You stopped shivering about five minutes ago.' I was like, 'So that means I'm not feeling the cold anymore,' and he said, 'No, sweetie, it's actually the warning signs of hypothermia.' I was like, 'Oh, really.'"

"Believe it or not, we had to come back the following day to finish shooting. Happily, I'm no longer purple, but I do have a wicked cough and I'm not exactly feeling my best," Sackhoff said. "To top it off, it's going to rain more over the next two weeks. So it's been a little tough, but Starbuck and I are hanging in there."

Fans who just can't wait to own the first season of the SciFi Channel's hit series will be able to buy it on DVD for $69.99 at Best Buy on Tuesday, July 26, at local Best Buy stores. The company is listing the set as "Battlestar Galactica (Uk Version)," so there is some question just what will be on the DVDs. It's possible that the Uk Version means a special opening or cut of the episodes, but these are the only version that will be available until the fall.

In other related news, Glen A. Larson, who created the BSG original series for ABC, appeared at the London Film & Comic Con recently. When asked if there was going to be a classic "Battlestar Galactica" movie, Larson said yes, that he's looking over scripts for the film and expects it to be completed in 12 to 18 months, according to a report at cylon.org.
