Yes.
But I liked Walter Koenig better as Psi Cop Alfred Bester on Babylon 5 - more mature. And the character is quite more complicated.
This is so sad. :*( I never made the connection between Andrew and Walter Koenig—I met Walter several times over the years at Star Trek conventions and he was always a fan favorite, taking his time to visit with fans, signing autographs, always a big smile—a lovely man.
I’m so sorry for his loss. Prayers going up for him and his family.

Thank you! Glad to see someone who understands.
I think you've nailed an important aspect of RDM that very few people can or are willing to grasp. He did some outstanding work on DS-9, but it was under supervision by others who had a more coherent and disciplined vision of the subject.
However, when he was finally put in complete charge of a series his erratic, impulsive and narcissistic tendencies were no longer restrained and we got "stuff" like BSG and Caprica. Both series do show moments of inspired brilliance but it is more than negated by their extreme oscillations of incoherent, silly plotlines and contrived, forced emotional melodrama.
You and I are iconoclasts! I usually hear how utterly brilliant BSG is. I watched it from beginning to end, but I wondered why I was even in the audience from season three on.
