BSG was my favorite show growing up.

RIP, Apollo.

He is not why I watched that show. But, RIP nonetheless.

I thought this was going to be about the first winner of survivor. I wonder what he ever did with his Aztec.

I wonder how many people remembered that particular trivial tidbit.

I retain far too much useless information, while failing to retain what is deemed as useful information. It usually is only useful on Tuesday nights, resulting in applebee's gift cards, as I loathe applebees food, it results in a local homeless person getting $100 worth of applebees to enjoy.

He was great in BOTH Battlestar Galactica series as Apollo and Tom Zarek. RIP.

I too thought this was going to be about survivor, forgot about the Aztec though. Loved BSG as a kid. I liked Starbuck better than Apollo, and why are space chicks always hot?

It's what I thought of- I never watched the other show, so who this is actually about is totally new to me.

Personally, I’m attracted to women that aren’t afraid of a vacuum.

I quite fondly remember the Buck Rogers space chicks--

The Survivor winner was my first thought as well.

As for this Richard Hatch, I was more familiar with his performance as Zarek than the original Apollo, although both well done. RIP.

I suspect age is a factor here. I was 8 when the original BSG came out, the prime age for a Star Wars-obsessed kid to watch a new scifi show with decent (for the time) special effects and mythological overtones.
