   Isn't this the same Glen Larson who "signed up" for the series?  The   
   one who got paid as a "consulting producer"? You and I can argue about   
   WTF that title means, but I think we'll agree it's pretty lame.  He   
   could have bailed at any time and proclaimed that, in his opinion, it   
   sucked.   
      
   Hatch tried to pitch his own "re-imaging" of BSG, which was   
   essentially the same tripe as the original with a new cast.  You'll   
   notice how many studios bought on to it.
