A. I would say that Boomer is a lot about survival, and she's a quick thinker, and she learns quickly, and she's feisty. She's competitive. She likes to have fun and she can totally be one of the guys. On one hand she can be a team player, but then she's also very independent and I think that stems from the fact that she lost her parents at a really young age and I think that's also why she's protective of Boxey.

4. Q. ...Which scene do you think they spent most time on? You mentioned the one with Helo, was that the one that they spent the most time on with you?

   A. For us, yeah, definitely. That scene on Caprica, that took 2 days to do.

5. Q. [Following immediately on the last question] That was a very emotional scene, a lot of emotion in that scene.

   A. Yeah there was, but you know what though, it's because Talmoh Penikett, who plays Helo, he's such a generous actor... and the whole thing was just fun. It's like when you were a kid and you played make-believe with your sister or friend... like that, having fun all day long. Plus we were kickin' back during setups.

6. Q. ...What would you say is your fondest memory of the filming? Do you have like a special memory of like maybe a day or a moment, when you were filming this mini, that comes to your mind that you will never forget that will always kind of stick with you, maybe changed you or, I don't know, influenced you?

   A. Oooo, that's tough, cuz I wouldn't trade our bootcamp for anything. But from filming, it would have to be the scenes with Helo, on Caprica. That was so much fun, everything was fun. I mean, just arriving that day, I think it was like 6 in the morning. Seeing the Raptor parked out there in the field. "Look at that! That's our ship! It's so cool!" And all the crew was out there and everyone from all the extras got there and they were all dirtied up and there were like a hundred of them running through this field.

1. Q. I loved you as Lt. Satterfield in Stargate SG-1's "Proving Ground". Do you know if your character will be returning anytime soon? Satterfield has become one of my favorite characters, and I would love to see her again!

   A. Thanks! When we started shooting "Proving Ground" there were rumours that Stargate wasn't gonna go on, and so all of a sudden our characters were going to do a spin off. Holy crap! But I guess us rooks just didn't make the cut. And that's good because Stargate's been going strong ever since.

2. Q. How did you get your guest spot on the episode "Proving Ground" as Lt. Satterfield, and what was it like working on the SG-1 set? Did you have to do many retakes on the scene where Satterfield dragged Dr. Jackson (Michael Shanks) across the floor?
   Thanks so much!

   A. I auditioned for Satterfield just like any other job and it paid off because being on the SG-1 set was lots of fun. And I didn't have to do many retakes, just enough to give Shanks a hard time.

3. Q. Any anecdotes from the filming of that episode that you could share with us? Funny moments on the set, or your experiences in whatever training were provided in weapons, etc.? Thank you and best wishes for a prosperous 2004.

   A. Yeah, Satterfield and Dr. Jackson had a scripted crush so Shanks make sure he gave me a hard time when he first met me, "Is that a military issued ponytail?"
   
   I quipped, "Is that a military issued come on?"
   
   It was all good after that.
   
   I remember on one of the days there was a young boy from the Make-A-Wish Foundation who got his wish, and that was to visit the set of Stargate and meet his favourite character Teal'c. They gave him a tour, he got his own staff, he helped 'direct', and he ate lunch with us. That was the best thing. Just to be able to be there. And the weapons! Why do I get such a kick out of them? The training was very professional and disciplined. One time, as a joke, between takes I pointed the dummy MP5 at another actor and Ron Blecker in charge of weapons pounced on me and chewed me out, and I nearly crapped my pants. So don't do what I did!

4. Q. What was it like to work with Richard Dean Anderson in SG1?

   A. Richard Dean Anderson was hilarious, he was so funny to work with cuz he was totally himself, witty, dry, cocksure and dashing.
