Goddamn, I just rewatched this series last November. Apollo of Battlestar Galactica is gone. He was only 71.

God damn you 2017! DAMN YOU 2017!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. CURSE YOU 2017!!!

Just sayin'...

Richard was a real crusader, long before the BSG reboot came along he constantly fought tooth-and-nail to get it back on tv or made as a movie, developed his own pitch pliots for it and wrote loads of novels and comics based on it. Tireless workhorse. So glad he was rewarded with a role in the reboot

I have more of a connection to Richard Hatch than I do a bunch of folks who live in Arkansas. Just as I'm sure there's someone famous who the surviving family members of those folks in Arkansas have more of a connection with than me.

It's all relative, and it does no one any good to belittle the grief of others.

I took it as less of Jester marginalizing any actual grief, and more of him criticizing cubed for being meme-y about it.
