As Battlestar Galactica The remake is filled with big bad guys, the most convincing villain-not some cylon infiltrator or tin soldiers. Probably the best villain is the Tom of the Region, the one who rises from the political prisoner to the deputy president before conducting the insurgency and ultimately die. The fans usually imagined him as a man who hates his frequent -pointed -poinnants -porter Laura Roslin, but discussing the plot that begins with an episode of the 2 season “fragmented”, actor Richard Hatch made sure that “he is very competitive with Laura.”

As Tom Zaak – Best Villary Battlestar Galactica

For a little context “Fragged” is an episode in which Adam commander was shot dead, leaving the alcoholic colonel Tiga on the Galaxy team. Earlier, Adam threw President Roslin into the brig, and after he announced his martial law, she only escaped to the safety of the civil fleet due to Tom’s stabbing, its cruel critic. Later, Richard Hatch noted that the regional resort helped her because he respected her because he was “civil against the military,” and he said sarcastically that fans could “guess where he gets into this struggle.”

What Richard Hatch implies is that Tom Zarek started the show as a prisoner who had previously bombed state buildings and wrote a book of bestsellers about the fight against government corruption. In addition, his first big storyline in the first season participated in the fact that he took away the prison ship and demanding that the right elections be held because Laura Roslin was never chosen properly … She was just the closest survivor in the line subsequent When President Adar died.

From this decision, Tom regions help Roslin to avoid custody on the galaxy, because he could just leave her there to rot. But it was performed unfairly without trial and hearing, while the military officer stated that martial law was in all citizens in the fleet. Later, Richard Hatch emphasized his character, which is the fact that the registration is a man of principles that he would like to help the enemies he respects, than to help the military force he despises, continues to oppress civilians.

No one understood Tom Zarak better than Richard Hatch, and the actor was pleased to play the character who embodied what he saw as a real nationwide struggle. “The storyline speaks of a huge problem for the balance of human freedom with survival than us in the US, all are now familiar.”

Of course, this refers to the strengthening of the government during the George W. Bush administration and how the citizens had to fight whether they were comfortably abandoning their constitutional freedoms in the name of national security. The national discussion on these issues will continue in the next seasons, and these frequent reflections on the Bush administration exits are effectively made Battlestar Galactica One of the most political Scientific-fiction Show in television history.

Tom regional continued to face Laura Roslin throughout the time Battlestar GalacticaBut in 2 season he saves her from the care for military work. Hatch words illustrate how many fans have traditionally understood their charismatic nature, a person who ultimately respects Roslin, no matter how different their politics are. And in his willingness to save his most powerful enemy in the name of his beliefs, this memorable villain shows itself the last that the audience awaits: the most ideologically consistent hero in the show.
