Richard Hatch, known to many as Apollo from the original “Battlestar Galactica” (1978-1979) television series, has died. Times writer Jevon Phillips talked to him — as Hatch laid on a beach in Hawaii — before the end of the reimagined “Battlestar Galactica” series in 2009. The original Apollo, Richard Hatch crusaded for a very different "Battlestar Galactica" than the one most critics now praise.
