proggrrl already provided linkage to these wonderful video clips from a recent con, so I'll just skip straight into my resulting Katee-squee in quick recap:

Audition from hell: She gives a longer version of the cute story about how Mrs. Eick was instrumental in casting her because they all thought she was too young and wimpy/girly to be Starbuck

BSG Plans: Apparently, her character in the upcoming Lifetime rom-com is the most like Katee's RL personality

BSG Relationships: Katee talks about her theory that Kara actually loves Sam more than Lee, as far as adult romantic love/companionship goes. Hmmmm...and then there's some cute embarrassment about the writers decision to write her as being unfaithful to Sam and a joke about there being stock footage of her sleeping with everyone just in case they need it.

Death scene: She talks about how Maelstrom was awesome because she gets to play outside the box of Starbuck's normal character range, particularly the scene with Lee under the viper where she's basically preparing him for her death.

Fan reacted: Talks about fan reactions to her character, and how she really found her groove playing Starbuck around episode 4 (Act of Contrition). Then she says she kind of wishes she could re-do Kara in the miniseries because she thinks she was trying too hard to show her as a badass and she wound up over-masculinizing the character in the miniseries.

Fight Scene: She talks about how Jamie and she must have been brother/sister in a past life, based on their fight scenes. And then she talks about getting beat up on Battlestar and Bionic on a regular basis.

Kissing: OMG, listening to her talk about kissing all of her lovely cast members may or may not have made me drool intensively...apparently everyone's wives are extremely lucky to have them and James is a surprisingly good kisser. She also jokes about saving kissing Tricia for when the ratings go down and they need a boost.

Name Change: She talks briefly about why she wanted to be called Katee as opposed to Katherine.

Paint sex: She says Callum is gorgeous and the paint scene was incredibly fun. It was real paint and it got everywhere :) Apparently she got in a bunch of trouble for taking off the pasties she was wearing during that scene because they were getting in the way off the shot, which resulted in very visible handprints on her boobs (OMG drools at Callum handprints on Katee's boobs!!!). So her manager/agent had to contact NBC to make sure all the footage of Katee's bits would be sent to them, and to make sure no boobage can be leaked or shown on the show (*sighs*).

Richard Hatch: Just basically singing his praises--nothing too exciting on this one.

Coffee: She's adorable while talking about a Starbucks promo where she got highly overcaffeinated, and wound up looking kind of sweaty and cracked out. There's another story about her and a fan at a Starbucks--very cute.

Stunt Injury: Apparently she injured her knee recently doing a stunt on Bionic Woman and she's been rehabilitating it the last month or so.

The Farm: Very cute story about meeting the actor for the Simon model for the first time right before the gyno scene in Farm. She also talks a little about the difficulty of coming to terms with Kara's abusive mom, particularly when Katee has such a positive relationship with her own mom.

The Sentinel: Poor thing does a lot of eye-rolling when asked about the Last Sentinel. She admits that it was not great but she thought it was entertaining. But she did get to do her own stunts and used up more ammo during that movie than during an entire season of BSG. And she jokes that because she made so little on that movie and she bought the entire crew Starbucks cards, so she probably lost money on it.

Word frak: Apparently the cast had to practice with the real f-bomb until "frak" became more comfortable. Then she jokes about being a bad influence on her nephew.

Work: She's done voiceover work recently on a video game (which she couldn't name) and is going to be the voice of Rainbow Brite on Robot Chicken (which yay!!! because I love RC).
