JCC 2017 Celebrity Deadpool (Winner: VadersLaMent!)

Sad news re: Richard Hatch. As an elementary-age kid when the original BG was out in the late '70's, I have fond memories of watching this original series & Galactica: 1980 (I know Hatch as Apollo wasn't in the second series, but he was referenced).

I was a much bigger fan of the re-booted/re-made BG series in the 200X's, where Hatch played the "bad guy" Tom Zarek.

Also, IIRC Hatch wrote some original BG novels back in the '90's/early 200X's.

I remember reading an article in "Starlog" magazine back in the '90's where Hatch was talking about trying to get a new BG series off the ground and/or get studio interest in making a new film. His passion for the franchise really showed, and went above & beyond an actor who just saw a TV series as nothing more than a paycheck. It's worth noting that his vision for a new series was more along the lines of the original show, and not the re-booted series that we saw in the 200X's. I liked the new series a lot, but do agree it was completely different from the original.

 

To wit: the one BSG series that didn't feature him sucked.

Aww, Chavo Classic.

Seems like it was just a little while ago I was watching him hit Rey Mysterio with a chair.

... Probably because it was. BUT STILL.

It's crazy, he just retired from touring three days ago for exhaustion...

He's been dead almost a day, you people are falling down on the job!

Amazing.

Oh yeah. I've known people to be admitted in their fifties.

Jazz guitarist Larry Coryell.

 

Well that resulted in an odd rabbit hole. "Wait, when did Larry Coryell play with Miles? ... Oh, a never released studio session in '78."

Also: bummer.

Thanks for pointing this out Juliet. You're always on target with death announcements.
