Correcting this article:
The headline was wrong, the body of the article was right. The cast of Battlestar Galactica will present the Top 10 List on the Late Show with David Letterman TOMORROW night, 19 March 2008.
Edited 20 March 2008:
The Top 10 list they presented, in costume and in character (well, except that Jamie Bamber slipped into a British accent at the end) was “Top Ten Reasons To Watch The New Season Of Battlestar Galactica“:
10. Chief Tyrol: “In the dramatic season opening episode, we save 15% by switching our insurance to Geico.”
9. D’Anna Biers: “You’ll find out what’s in the hatch and who gets off the island—crap, wrong show.”
8. Gaius Baltar: “My character creates a line of ‘Honey Roasted Space Nuts’.”
7. Sharon Valerii: “What else are you gonna do, read a book?”
6. Number Six: “There’s a good chance you’ll see me naked.”
5. Colonel Tigh: “There’s a good chance you’ll see me naked.”
4. Apollo: “New FTL drives will allow the Colonial fleet to better adjust to gravitational variations and achieve maximum superluminal travel to outrun the pursuing Cylon basestars—I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about.”
3. Starbuck: “We engage in a life-and-death battle against evil robots… You know, same s*** as last year.”
2. Laura Roslin: “I take on the most challenging task of my political career—doing a lame Top Ten list on a third rate talk show.”
1. Admiral Adama: “Watch me lead us into war against the Cylons without an exit strategy.”
A video of the Top 10 List is available on this page. The cast was on stage, each one stepping up to give his line after Letterman announced the number and the character, which “Number six: Number Six,” sound a bit odd.
