Richard made money from showing this at conventions, got himself brought into the new series in a recurring role. It wasn't all for nothing, though it's true most of the crew who made this for and with Richard didn't benefit much.
i've always thought Pegasus should have returned. Cain as a concept was a good counter to Adama. Cain always pushing testing almost mutiny or coup of the council lots of moving parts on BSG. it to me wasn't just about the quest
Love the OG BG designs returning. I always preferred the original series to the remake. Starbuck is meant to be an ambrosia swillling, cigar smoking, womanising, hotshot MALE pilot. Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict were an awesome team.
Richard Hatch, I think Battlestar Galactica went to his head a little bit, but he was the best actor for that role... And I dare say, he would be literally ashamed of Battlestar Galactica 2005, it was literally horrible. I love the chemistry between Apollo, Boomer and Starbuck, there was just a great relationship... and they covered each other's asses too.
NOOOOOOOOOO Thanks BSG with Edward Olmos was the best revival we could expect This one seems like a milking of SSDD for one last pay cheque Don't want to see old has beens trying to be relevant again in some last ditch desperate effort BSG of the 80s is over...and the BSG of the 200s complemented it beautifully
I remember sending Mr Hatch an email asking for a continuation of the show back in the late 1990s. Believe it or not, his assistant replied and told me that he was working on it! What we got was not at all what I expected but I enjoyed it all the same. However, I feel like it could have stuck closer to the original now.
There was a time that Richard Hatch had this reel tightly in his grip, and showed it on the con circuit. Before the revised Battlestar Galactica series came to be. He got a lot of interest in it. Like everything, it eventually made its way to the internet. If there hadn't been an original Battlestar Galactica in the 70s, the new series would have held up on its own. It comes up as a worthy successor, there were no weak links in the cast. But it wasn't our Battlestar. This is what many of us wanted to see. The fact that he got other actors on board with it could have gotten it going.
Moore's so called reboot was garbage. It was simply Deep Space Nine - another bore, with the Galactica and the character names being used in place of the DS 9 character names. And even worse, the "Who Else is a Cylon?" idea until before one knew it, they ALL were Cylons. This short shows what the real BSG was and was about. Not a rehash of a boring story.
Shame the Original Battlestar Galactica doesn't come back as a continuation at a more hard edged level. What ever happened to the Galactica's Sister Ship, the Battlestar Pegasus ? Last i remember it was on a Suicide Mission fighting a number of enemy ships.
I wish, that, they had made this into a movie, so I can enjoy it because it reminds me of a newer generation of Warriors being led by the classic Captain Apollo.. It will remind me of the Classic Battle Star Galactica, that I watched in the late 70's early 80's...
More cheese than you can possibly imagine! Just how is it possible to put more cheese into this than the original serias had, wish I was a kid again and didnt know duff acting when i saw it, BHA, love it.
