Interviews with Grace Park

About.Com

1. Q. I've gotten the inevitable emails from guys who complain that the men are weak and the women are all too strong on the show. How do you see the gender dynamic?

   A. Well, the women are very strong, but I don't think it's just our show. If you look around, pretty much all the interesting stories on TV and movies are using female characters to explore huge areas of life and experience that they haven’t done before. Not too long ago, it seemed all the women we saw were wives and girlfriends, secondary character we didn’t really care about. Slowly but surely, we’re seeing change, and this show is are a part of that.

   I have to say, though, I did tease [a writer] yesterday. I show up on set with this bandage on my face and all these bruises, and I ask him, "What kind of women issues are you guys dealing with?"

   But the male story lines aren’t about being weak. I think all the characters are flawed whether they’re male or female. Apollo and the Commander are stagnated in their relationship. And look at Baltar. it’s not like the female are all martyrs, we’re just missing, I guess, that typical blazing male hero figure.
