I love Richard hatch, he is such an inspiring person. I’m glad to see this interview. I also agree with allot of what he said about the show being too compressed. It seems like the show has always moved at an incredibly fast rate. Now with the discovery of the older Cylons on the planet, ones that even the known Cylon models did not know about, the history behind them has now gotten so much deeper. (If the 12 colonies originally created the Cylons, then they turned against them, I’m not sure how there can be older Cylons that they did not know about. Hope the last half of season four can really explain everything.)

Hope to see more of Richard in the future.

Here’s a guy that never forgets his fans. NEVER. Zarek is such a nuanced character and Hatch plays him brilliantly. I loved the interview! Keep up the good work!

I had the chance to speak a bit with Richard Hatch at the auction preview and at the Frak party. He’s really a cool guy with lots to say.

I can’t wait to see where season 4.5 is taking us. After the 2 first episodes, I’m quite at loss.

Just had a thought… Ellen could have been a six that for some reason had aged. Depends when her and Tigh hooked up…. Nah, doesn’t make any sense!

LOL, SciFi really is into S&M aren’t they. But Battlestar Galactica is such wonderful torture that we want it to keep coming.

I definitely have noticed with the first two episodes of 4.5 is that they are definitely having to rush things a bit. Like as much as I love the Adama/Roslin relationship, I do feel like they went a bit fast from the point they left us in SaGN and the point they get to in Disquiet.

At the same time, I feel that these two episodes are more set-up than anything else. I really am excited to see what they are leading up to and I think we will be able to appreciate some of the aspects of these early episodes more once we have the whole story. This is just the beginning of the end and I think it does really show. Hopefully the rushing will be mostly in set-up too, so we can take more time to savour the end.

God I just love Richard Hatch he is on e of my all time favorite actors. Not only does he perform well on screen but he is also one of the greatest people it has been my pleasure to speak with. To me it is a blessing to be able to exchange e-mails with him from time to time and this interview truly shows him for who and what he really is. (But I had no idea he was a thumb war champion.)
I think it is good I see this interview now after seeing the previews of next weeks show. I think this is what he is so troubled about. He excels at playing the nice guy because he truly is a nice guy and next week he is going to be wrapped up in the revolution or coup whatever you wish to call it and it must have been agonizing for him to do these scenes.

Hi Matt, Nat, Richard & everyone else!

I just heard the Podcast from Ron Moore for the episode “A Disquiet Follows My Soul”. He said that Richard Hatch is an “old school pro”. He is one of the best prepaired actors he knows. I remembered this interview, how Richard talked about really getting into his role. Tom Zarek is maybe not my favorite charakter on the show, but he is always a very interesting one, and i like it how Richard plays him. And i think i know how he mean it, when he said, that the comming episodes/scenes was really hard for him to play. BSG is really getting dark and ugly now. But as all of you, i cant wait to see the rest of the story!

Greetings from Germany

PS: Its nice to see Richard Hatch at FedCon this year! And of course Olmos, Douglas and Callis. That is gonna be a frakking BSG party!

I have to say it was refreshing to get to see Richard as himself because Zarek is probably my least favorite characters on BSG. I agree that the pilot was packed with info, that Sal’s wife being the final cylon didn’t make sense and then the next episode went too slowly and revealed too little. So far I’m not too impressed with this season but I love the show! I still want to believe that Dee was the final cylon and that’s why she killed herself.

Is he saying Zarek fraked Starbuck?
