RIP Apollo.

I ran into him at few DragonCons. He seemed like a good guy.

I don’t hold the last season of The Streets Of San Francisco against him. It was running out steam.

Damn. R.I.P. Richard Hatch. Thanks for the memories - especially when I was young.

I’d much rather have had a revived BSG based on that short glorified awesome trailer than that OK reboot.

“Battleship Galactica”

Isn’t it “BattleSTAR Galactica?”

See the insignia he's wearing? That's US Army Military Intelligence branch insignia for officers.

Darn. I was looking forward to see more of his character now that the lawsuit is settled.
