Starbuck Vs. Jack Bauer? It can, may, and probably will Happen

Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff has found herself a new steady gig, on FOX's 24!  The woman who regnederized Starbuck will be cast as a regular on the next season of 24, which is centered around a reconstituted CTU branch in New York city.  Details ahead.

According to EW's Michael Ausiello, Katee will be playing the role of Dana Walsh, girlfriend to Freddie Prinze Jr.'s character of Davis Cole.  Dana will be working at CTU as a data analyst, which means we'll be seeing some interactions with Chloe, hopefully.

On the more intriguing side of things, Sackhoff' character apparently has a dark side she is trying to keep hidden.  So, let's see… how do these things usually turn out?  Yeah, so who knows if Sackhoff is being prepped for a multi-season presence, or being primped for the turncoat position that CTU always seems to be hiring for.  Their human resources director should really be canned.

I'll say this, Sackhoff's intensity is absolutely scary – she could single handily refuel the 24 franchise.  I mean, she was the most watchable aspect of Bionic Woman.  Well, there were others, but I don't want to branded a sexist so I won't go there.  (Or maybe I just did?)
