John ’s a ally of ours , and a friend of mine and my wife , and we ’ve know him for a few years now . Of course , he has his own very successful career and John was a devotee of the show . It was , we really wanted to notice something for him to do [ on the show ] . I reckon we almost had a role for him to do , I think it was some compass point last season , I want to say … And then that fell through for scheduling grounds or whatever . And then this [ theatrical role as Anders ’ surgeon ] came up , and I think it was Jane ’s … I think it was [ manufacturer ] Jane Espenson ’s approximation to tap him for this role and I jumped on it , and think it would be cracking to have him in this small [ use ] because it ’s such a fun little beat as the brain sawbones … Sort of give him just a … taste of something comedic in all of this .
Also mention in the podcast commentary : Cavil will play a gravid part in The Plan , the concluding BSG TV Movie , which will throw some more light on his behind - the - scenes machinations against the final five cylons , and “ Daniel , ” the new revealed eighth cylon is n’t needfully important to the remainder of Galactica , but may be part of spin - off Caprica .
