It was a\u00a0 nice intimate setting for a convention panel. I was kindly guided by one of WonderCon\u2019s staff to a seat a few rows from the front. Richard refused to be bound to the usual panel table at the front of the room. Since it was a smaller crowd he stood or walked up and down the main aisle.

I mean every one of those musicians could have been a star in their own right. They could have been alone on that stage and they got out there and they were radical!

And there was a lot of heart felt, ok people talking about the show, talking about Harvey, who uh, one of the producers who died. Uh one of the guys true wonderful guys on Battlestar that basically kind of shepherd the show through and basically died during that time. So everyone got up and everybody gave a great account for Harvey. But it was just a lot of heart, a lot of spirit, a lot of soul, you know coming together as a big family and it was a huge celebration.

It was always been a show that was not only of great entertainment, always about relationship about who we are as human beings, what we got inside of us that struggle we all have. We all struggle with our demons. We all struggle with our dark side. Even the best of us is capable falling and even the worst of us is capable of rising, you know? I think Battlestar really, really epitomizes that, which is why for me people sometimes say, \u201cRichard you know you\u2019ve been with this Battlestar for, forever.\u201d And I said uh well I tell ya, you know, I as a fan fell in love with the story. I love what this story has to say and I still feel there is so much more to say. So I\u2019m truly hoping that or another that this show will progress, that Caprica will stay on that there will be more Battlestar to come, more episodes to come, more side stories.

That even though your character may be doing something you necessarily agree with the point of it is that it affects you on a personal level and when your character has to do something and you bond with your character that really goes against everything inside you. And I thought you know this is a character who is morally conflicted, even though they didn\u2019t show that part of it. The thought was even if you had to do something that you believe was right even though it came against everything you believe in it is the hardest thing you could ever do. Imagine being in war where you have to make a life and death decision about who lives and who dies. I mean you\u2019re constantly put under those kinds of situations on Battlestar, which is why every actor on that show will tell you that every actor grew as a human being because of the situations the characters put them in. That\u2019s how good the writing was on Battlestar. <\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><em>We\u2019re probably not going to have enough time to play it because it\u2019s almost time&#8230; 3 more minutes?

I honestly think Lorne Greene was bigger than that. I think he would have loved the new show. I think he would have enjoyed it. I honestly do because the new show I don\u2019t care what anybody says it still went into the core story of mankind struggling to find redemption. Mankind struggling to find its way after such a cataclysmic you know event. The struggle to get back on course and every man and woman being tested to find out whom there are and what they\u2019re made of. <\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><em>Every moment is life and death. I honestly think that was always the core of the story and I think the original story had we been on for another two years I think we would have gone darker. Where as the new show started of very, very heavy and actually started to warm up with the characters because remember in the beginning it was kind of hard to get into the characters because there were all deeply flawed, all had you know psychological issues and problems. And slowly as the show progressed we started to fall in love with those characters. Battlestar started out with loving those characters and then slowly they would have revealed the plot they would have gone the opposite direction. <\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><em>Yes?<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Fan #13:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> I have a question about the new movie that\u2019s being kind of made that I guess is based more on the original.

I think he\u2019s going to find a way to balance the two. It\u2019ll be edgier, darker, but he still wants to have some of that energy that the original Battlestar Galactica had. So I think that\u2019s\u2026I think Universal, in fact this was the message I heard.
