So Much News, So Little Time

POSTED BY: MaxiSpank
Hi there. It's probably high time for a blog/update thingy, so here it is. Lots has been happening so I recommend light refreshments while reading. See you at the end.
Two Fat Ladies
This is an official, desperate plea on behalf of all Katee Sackhoff and Tricia Helfer fans that they do a US version of the 90's British hit TV show "Two Fat Ladies", which featured a couple of 60 something ladies hooning around the countryside on their motorbike, meeting with the locals in quaint little villages and cooking up a treat, before climbing back on their bike and disappearing into the sunset. Granted, Katee and Tricia aren't fat and they are 30 years too young, but that's a minor technicality. A show like that featuring Katee and Tricia would have to just about rate as the best show ever, in the history of all mankind.

Apart from the weight and age obstacle, the girls have all of the technical requirements down pat. They are bad-ass biker chicks and Katee has often boasted about her culinary skills in interviews, although TeamSpank would frankly like to see cold hard evidence of her prowess in this department. Word on the street is that Tricia is a vegetarian, so that could give the show an interesting extra edge - like it would need any edge at all other than the two of them hooning around on their motorcycles.

The reason TeamSpank have decided this is
a great idea the greatest idea ever had by anyone, is that we've been recently inundated by photos from Tricia's official blog and a video from the LA Times, (watch it below). It's just all too monumentally awesome and TeamSpank wants more. (BTW Katee, why don't you have an official blog or site, you bloody slack arse?)

Footnote: If by any chance, this brilliant idea comes to fruition, TeamSpank has decided to forgo any series concept/finder's fee (or whatever it's called). Instead, all we ask is that Katee please do a scene at the ocean-side, where she slowly and methodically guts a fish while smiling sweetly into the camera and explaining her technique in earnest detail. TeamSpank would also like to stipulate that Katee include the phrase "I love to gut my own fish", in her fish disembowelment demonstration, much as she did here.



Katee Jigsaws at TeamSpank HQ
TeamSpank continue to path the way forward as far as cyber-fandom goes. Our latest innovation is the Katee Sackhoff Jigsaw Puzzle series. This isn't lightweight fluff - this is hi-tech and cutting edge (no pun intended). You can choose different shaped pieces and you can choose puzzles from 6 to about 250 pieces. You can even get the thing to put itself back-together if you can't be bothered. Reassembling Katee Sackhoff can prove a sensational, most therapeutic way to fritter away an hour or so, particularly if you are feeling a little brain dead at the time.

We have also begun a new section of the site, entitled "Katee Snippets", where you can listen to some of Katee's little audio nuggets from interviews - stuff like where she discusses studying her o-face, her juggling technique, etc. This section is brand new and there are only a few things there, but lots more is on the way. Please let us know if you can think of anything that belongs here.


Katee knocks back her own series (and a movie is in the works)
In this article published last week, Katee mentions that she just knocked back her own series, as it was being filmed in NY and she didn't want to live away from her BF anymore. While TeamSpank acknowledges that this is none of our business, and that we are a little bummed that we won't get to see her in her own series, we find it kind of sweet and sensible that she is putting her personal happiness first before a dumb old TV show.

Katee also mentions in this article that she will be shooting a film called "The Victim" later in the year. This TeamSpanker is curious about whether this film will be an English Language remake of the Thai 2006 film, Phii khon pen, which is a bit of a psycho-multi-twist thriller. So Katee's agent, could you please get back to us to confirm that one?

Katee mentioned another movie in a previous interview "Kneel" or "Neal" or something like that, but we haven't heard a word about that since. Granted though, Katee did seem a little tipsy in that interview (which was fair enough cause it was at a party) so she might have been delirious.


Bionic Sized Gloat by SwimSpank
In case you haven't seen it yet, SwimSpank has recently researched and published perhaps the biggest documented gloatfest of all time - "The REAL Bionic woman", a (massive) collection of official critical reviews of Bionic Woman, where Katee frankly comes out looking like the sun shines out of her arse. (I was gonna use a different expression but it would have been even more crude). We've provided a downloadable pdf version, just for for Katee's mum (MaSpank), just so she can show it off to friends and gloat at dinner parties. Cause gloating is fun, and you probably can never be too proud of your own kids.

There is plenty of other Katee S news and BSG news floating around, but I am frankly emotionally exhausted by all of the above, so I'll just leave you with this:
