I repeat,if you have yet to watch last nights24, stop reading now.

But what did Sackhoff think of the tall tale and the backlash it triggered?

Dana just got killed.

KATEE SACKHOFF:Thats so sad.

Do you genuinely feel sympathy for her?

SACKHOFF:None whatsoever.

She doesnt have one redeeming quality.

I tried desperately togiveher a redeeming quality.

The only thing I could come up with was that she didnt crack when she was tortured.

What was it like playing someone like that?

SACKHOFF:It was weird.

I was going to try and makeeveryonehate her.

That was my goal, and I think I succeeded.

Were you looking to play a one-note baddie when you signed on?

SACKHOFF:[Before24] I always had to give tons of thought to my characters.

They hadsomany layers and they were exhausting to play.

By the time [Battlestar] was over I was so tired.

I was like, Can I yo play a character thats just cut and dry?

It was a much easier process.

The Dana plot was not well-received.

Were you aware that it wasnt going over well?

SACKHOFF:I didnt realize that.

[Pause] I dont care.

Its counterproductive to doing your job… Was there anything Dana did that madeyougo, WTF??

I was like, Wow, Im completely playing a new character here.

For the first five or six episodes I was like, Guys, youvegotto give me a gun.

I dont do the whole stand here and look pretty thing very well.

And then they finally give me a gun and the man standing next to me shot it for me.

SACKHOFF:Of courseI did.

SACKHOFF:[Mock contempt] Where else was she going to put it?!

Was she going to drag it down the hallway?

Six months later everyones like, Whatisthat smell?!

And theyre like, Damn that Dana!

[Laughs]

How was the whole24experience?

SACKHOFF:It was fantastic.

Because of the way they shoot24you feel like youre never there.

I kind of felt like I could go hang out at Coffee Bean with all the unemployed actors.

Every time Id get a paycheck I was like, Oh, thats right.

I have a job!

It was pretty easy compared to what I was used to.

Ive been so spoiled.

I had never done a pilot that hadnt been picked up, so I was like, What?!

Its what I needed to get my footing and go tackle another pilot season.

Why did you have so much time off?

Its not like Dana disappeared for long stretches.

Did you shoot all your scenes in one day?

SACKHOFF:Yeah, thats what they do.

And its not just one episode, itstwoepisodes.

So Id have off for three weeks.

I think I had the whole month of November off.

Was that frustrating at all?

Because its not like it’s possible for you to go off and commit to another gig.

I had all my chores done by 9 a.m. and Im like, What do I do now?

Id call up my ex-boyfriend at work and go, Its 9 a.m. and Im done.

Is it too early to start drinking at noon?
