It's unlikely she meant anyone who visits this site, but "Battlestar
Galactica" star Lucy Lawless says that she would rather lie than
reveal anything about the upcoming fourth season, especially since
real fans don't need to know until it happens.
Lawless appeared last week on David Letterman, and said the writers
of the late-night talk show went back to the hotel with the actors
because they wanted to be able to spend some time with the cast.

"People love this show," said Lawless, who plays the Cylon Deanna
Biers in the series, according to the Huffington Post. "It's amazing
who are fans of the show. All those writers on Letterman? Amazing.
You could tell they were genuine fans. It's the intelligence of the
show that draws people in."

Lawless said Letterman's writers were interested in who the Final
Five were, but she felt that they really didn't want to
know. "True 'Battlestar' fans don't want spoilers, and I would never
tell anyway," Lawless said.

Although she is most famous for playing "Xena: Warrior Princess" in
the 1990s, Lawless said fans probably equally recognize
her "Battlestar" role nowadays. And a lot of that is because of how
much the SciFi Channel works to move its audience.

"You know, everyone's drawing political parallels, because the show
deals with universal themes about humanity, including its more
negative aspects like xenophobia and ethnic cleansing," Lawless
said. "If that's intended by [executive producer] Ron Moore, I'm not
smart enough to see it. I'm not really seeing it as a political
statement because I'm an outsider, but certainly, the current war [in
Iraq] is nourishing Ron's storytelling."

So who is the final Cylon?

"I think we know. I can't remember, though," Lawless said. "I'm
guessing, however, that [executive producer David Eick] and Ron have
had this in mind from the beginning."

"Battlestar Galactica" premieres its fourth and final season April 4
at 10 p.m. ET on SciFi Channel.
