Ohmigawd I just had a conversation with Richard Hatch from BSG
Please don't mistake the look on my face in this picture for boredom. I'm still a bit sleepy from the time adjustment, and at the time that picture was taken I was well on my way to being a little drunk. Yesterday I met up with Ken and Chris and with Gurl in tow, we went to a fun art opening for a counting book, and then off to Vancouver's finest drag bar, where a person of questionable lineage was doing her best Macy Gray impersonation.
Gurl: "Hmm...do you think she is First Nation or Latino?"
Jimbo: "Well if she's First Nation we'll have to call her Macy Gray Wolf."
It was good to meet Ken and Chris, but a bummer they can't hang out for the festivities for having to go to Europe.
Today I went to GateCon, which was a sci-fi convention for fans of Battlestar Galactica and Stargate. I began my descent into geek-related shock after walking into the lobby and immediately seeing Robert Picardo (Doctor from ST: Voyager) AND Battlestar Galactica's Richard Hatch, with whom I had a conversation with later on about his character and the new series' writing. I even said hi to Dirk Benedict, and got the autographs of the women who played Lursa and B'etor (sp?) the Klingon girls that gave Picard a hard time. We also saw Steve Bacic who is TOTALLY HOT in real life. I gained 2 levels of geek just from going to the convention and seeing all the actors.
Steve Bacic would make it all worth it ... he is indeed uber hot and it's nice to know it carries over off screen.
But lose some geek points for saying that Lursa and Bator gave Kirk a hard time. While they were in Star Trek: Generations they didn't really give Kirk a hard time as much as Picard. They did blow up the Enterprise D.
Still, I'm totally jealous that I'm not in Vancouver with you guys. How I would love to tell Dirk Benedict that I totally had the hots for him.
Lursa and B'etor were Next Generation bitches. They made Picard's life miserable with all their meddling with the Romulans and in Klingon politics. In the movie Generations, they teamed up with an aged Malcom McDowell, and HE was the one who killed Kirk.
For a geek, you sure do get your Star Trek wrong :-)
OK, OK!! JEEZ! I'll correct the blog entry. Lursa and B'etor were ST:TNG!!!
I had the most incredibly painful childhood crushes on Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict. PAINFUL.
One time Richard Hatch was in some movie about Jan and Dean, and I remember being up all night, full of agonizing lust/love. I didn't understand what was going on, and I was too young to know how to beat off.
WOW cool - I thought Starbuck was hot, even with those 70s haircuts...
Don't you love Canada though? There political correctness is even sticter... First Nations People is just wayyyyyy too long to say....
So, this is a different Richard Hatch from Survivor? I saw his name as a guest star, but never spotted him on the show...this explains why.
Steve Bacic. Sigh. Drool.
They need to get him on BG 2.0 as a semi-regular. He'd make a great Cylon.
That's a good picture of you. We should make out.
Richard Hatch has a profile on Big Muscle Bears. Ew.
When I was in 8th grade, my older sister convinced me that she had dated Richard Hatch, and I quickly became the laughingstock of Lake Hamilton Junior High for telling everyone so.
