Zarek and Roslin Separated at Comicon

Ever the rebel, Tom Zarek did not appear on the same panel as President Laura Roslin this weekend. Richard Hatch, who plays Tom Zarek, appeared during the convention’s first day where he revealed that Zarek is still Roslin’s VP on Battlestar Galactica and he will appear in at least two episodes of Season Four.
Hatch also talked about the end of the series, revealing that fans fans who feared the decision to end BSG was more the network’s than the producers were partially right. According to Hatch, Ron Moore and David Eick sought a two year commitment from the SciFi Channel which the network was not willing to give. So instead of risking the storyline on an uncertain ending, the two decided to end the series on their own terms. Interesting news, especially coming from someone who admits he was against the newer, darker BSG for a long time before being converted into a fan.
