Richard Hatch Tribute
The BSG and sci-fi community lost a great one on February 7 with the passing of Richard Hatch.
Richard was an engaging and friendly advocate for the show. I was fortunate to have met him a few times over the years, and he appeared as a guest on our podcast a couple times. He was always a wonderful spirit, and so passionate about what made Battlestar Galactica great.
As a tribute, here we replay an interview we did from 2009. He will be missed…So say we all.
