Battlestar Galactica: Old and New - MegaCon 2009 Panel - Video 1

[cmsahe]

I have an idea!! Richard Hatch was in BSG 2003-09, let's have Dick Benedict in BSG Blood & Chrome!

[codebreaker2001]

@cmsahe Well, according to the trivia section on the IMDb, originally, Ron Moore written the ending of Season 1 to feature "God", and had approached Dirk Benedict for the role. I can tell you, there's a few BSG fans that actually wanted Dirk Benedict to play Kara "Starbuck" Thrace's father if they ever had a flashback that included him.

[cmsahe]

@codebreaker2001 wow! that scene at the bar when Kara remembers would have been even more mythological with Dick Benedict as Dreilide Thrace!

[codebreaker2001]

@cmsahe True that. :)

dirk benedict looks like a suspect or a guilty for " cold case"

[codebreaker2001]

@MIGUEL2005LIMA LOL.

[MIGUEL2005LIMA]

@codebreaker2001 jajajaja.

[MIGUEL2005LIMA]

@codebreaker2001 jaja indeed , see this video and remember how they look in the past is similar to a "cold case" episode.thanks for post the video.

[codebreaker2001]

@MIGUEL2005LIMA No problem. I hope you also watch the other videos of this panel that continues after this one.

Don't know why the original actors associate themselves with the new series. It was a crime they didn't finish in 1999 where they left off unfinished in 1979.

[codebreaker2001]

@germanicelt They're not associating themselves with the new series, they're associating themselves with "Battlestar Galactica" in general. And they give their point of view about the newer series, and in some cases, like with Dirk, they actually met and have had a few conversations with the actors playing their characters in the new series.

Thanks for posting this video :D

I'm a big fan of Dirk :D :D :D

[codebreaker2001]

You're very much welcome. Granted, I did what Dirk actually disliked (as he talks about later on in the another one of the videos), but, as a fan of BSG, I felt it was my duty. :D
