Gilles Nuytens: What's your overall impression about season 3?
Grace Park: I think season 3 is quite a kaleidoscope of experiences. We had the humans finally becoming free from their Cylon occupation. And in one way you can actually see them as being very, very stubborn because they weren’t ready to make peace with the Cylons; they still insisted that they were the enemy. But unfortunately when they came back to Galactica we found that characters like Tigh and Starbuck, because of what they had gone through, it was too much for them and they didn’t know how to express that so they ended up turning on the fleet themselves. So we started seeing more humans turning on humans and attacking one another and I feel that it’s just an example of how war can be destructive or, the bigger picture, how harsh situations can be destructive and how we can become self-destructive. But we also explored more of the Cylon world, which was very unusual reading it one way on the script and then seeing what they did in editing and having the scenes softly keep overlapping each other. There was a sense of… timelessness? I don’t even know what the word is, but it didn’t really seem to be grounded in right now. You couldn’t really sense when this was happening, if it was happening again or if it was in the future or in the past. So I like how we explored a little bit of that but not so much because they still left a lot of mystery, which, I think people like that. There were certainly a lot of new relationships being formed. It was a very big yet not as messy of a year as season 2. Season 2 was very gritty and, though it was very dark, we did go to some new areas. In a way, I felt pretty hard to just put it in a nutshell. A lot of big topics.
