The flying bikes were from the follow-up series "Galactica 1980", Hatch wasn't in it (few of the original cast were).

I was a big fan of the original show. I picked up the Blu-Ray set a few years ago and loved reliving the show (the G80, not so much).

Rest in peace, Apollo.

oh that's right ..... along with the milky bar kid!

i had the original tv movie on tape, but i had to record the last fifteen-odd minutes on ANOTHER tape since i ran out of it .....
i watched it a LOT!

and then the new one came along, and was impressed with hatch's character too!

Damn figured I would meet him one day at a con. Loved the original and reboot/remake BSG and Hatch was great on both.

Life here began out there, and he's gone back to it

RIP Mr. Hatch. Loved his BSG novels and his Second Coming pitch
