The working relationship between executive producer David Eick and actress Katee Sackhoff will definitely continue, but not the way you might think.

Sackhoff, late of "Battlestar Galactica" as the hotshot pilot Starbuck, has signed on to NBC's "Bionic Woman" remake, which is being led by BSG's Eick, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

It's not clear what Sackhoff's role would be outside of the fact that she will be an evil bionic woman. She apparently is being billed as a guest star which could mean only a one-time appearance, or possibly recurring if NBC picks the pilot up as a series.

The pilot stars Michelle Ryan as Jaime Sommers, and is the second series that Sackhoff will appear in that is a remake of a 1970s show. Sackhoff also has a role in "White Noise 2: The Light" which was released this year.

Before you get the DVR ready, please remember that television shows in the pilot stage have a small chance for pickup, and even high-profile ones like "Bionic Woman" have no guarantees they will get a series pickup or ever even air.
