In the latest issue of Starlog magazine (February #331), Richard Hatch had this to say about TNS:
It's so nice to be part of the Battlestar family again. On the acting level, I'm really into what they're trying to do, what they're working for and what they want to bring to the screen. They're working overtime to get to the heart of this journey, and they want to tell interesting stories. And this new production has a quality crew. I think Ron Moore not only cares about the show, but I think he wants to reach out and bring back the [original series'] actors. I would be happy to see him cast Dirk Benedict, Laurette Spang, Herb Jefferson Jr. and Anne Lockhart in wonderful, quirky roles like the one I'm playing.
[Battlestar's new ragtag fleet are] a bunch of wonderful actors who work together well. Believe me, when you've done this as long as I have, you often get a cast where everybody's fighting. There are big egos and attitudes and nobody talks to each other. But this cast and crew are a family and have a camaraderie just like the one that made the original Battlestar so very special.
The jury's out, but I hope that they give this show enough time for the characters and relationships to develop and become whatever they're going to be. And that will hopefully inspire other Battlestar spin-offs and projects. It would be so cool to do a miniseries based on the original series. The fans would really love that, and they certainly deserve it.
