Her rank, her battlestar and who was offered the role

Shaunomac's Subject 2 Discussion show on lvrocks continues to cover news on the character of Cain in the upcoming 'Pegasus' episode of Battlestar Galactica.
As HNR reported on June 28, the rank of Cain will be that of Admiral and she will pilot a more advanced, Mercury-class Battlestar. Apparently Cain and Adama duke it out for control of the fleet with the two battlestars poised for battle in the closing minutes of "Pegasus."
What was also revealed was that Jane Seymour was considered to play the part of Cain, but unfortunately turned down the role. As original series fans know, Seymour played reporter Serena in the 1978 Battlestar Galactica pilot and then wed Captain Apollo (Richard Hatch) in the series two-parter, "Lost Planet of the Gods." She was brutally shot in the back by a Cylon at the end of Part Two, leaving Apollo to parent their son Boxey by himself.
The transcript of Shaun's show can be heard at spankwagon. The last 10 minutes are devoted exclusively to Galactica news.
While it might have been nice to see a further connection with the original series (the first being Richard Hatch/Apollo playing revolutionary Tom Zarek), they have offered the role of Cain to another actress who is VERY familiar with the sci-fi television genre. Exactly who this will be as well as what happens in the follow-up Episode 211 will be revealed on Shaun's show this coming Wednesday, July 6th. We'll have all the details for you here shortly thereafter.
In the meantime, enjoy the holiday weekend and be prepared for a fire-works extravaganza second season of Battlestar Galactica, premiering July 15 on the SCI FI Channel.
