HOLY SHIT. AT SOME POINT, SOMEWHERE, THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. I don't know who took the picture, but he/she should get some kind of cash reward for capturing this incredible nerd moment. Also, how fucking good does Dirk Benedict look? The man is 66 years old! Infinite thanks to Nate B. for the tip.

I was only mildly into the original show as a kid and hardly at all into the new one, but you know what...That is sooo damn awesome a photo. It needed to be done. P.S. I recorded her for "American Dad" and she was incredibly friendly and gracious.
How original to ADVERTISE on the same Starbucks do a big interview with the BBC.....Why do we allow these marketeers to influence our choices, can we not make our own?
I can't wait for the Galactica 1980 remake. Think of what they could do with that now.
This picture was taken when Battlestar Galactica just started. I read the article saying he was a real sexist jerk and hated that she was playing the same role he did.
SIXTY SIX??? If there was work done, it was either by a master hand, or so long ago that it's had a chance to blend in. He's GORGEOUS!
This picture is really really old. it's taken from an interview before the very first series of the new BSG came out. I remember seeing it on TV.
the only way this picture could be cooler is if one of them was holding up a copy of 'Moby Dick'.
This was on the "Battlestar Galactica The Miniseries" DVD, side 2. "Making-Of Featurette - Battlestar Galactica: The Lowdown." If you fast forward about 18.5 minutes into it, you will find the Starbucks meeting at Starbucks. Not a bad special feature. Interesting to see after the show is over.
After he started badmouthing Starbuck's sex change "operation" she said that if he showed up on the show she'd quit.
Richard Hatch made out allot better riding the wave than Dirk Benedict did fighting it.
WHY is this suddenly making the rounds on all the nerd sites? This photo is, like, 10 years old. The interview is on the DVDs for crying out loud. Dirk Benedict has since gone on record as being a total douchebag about the show and started calling Starbuck Stardoe because she's a sissy girl or something stupid like that. There's even mention of it on Wikipedia which I would link to if Wikipedia weren't down right now.
To be quite honest,with the increased emphasis on Mormon Cosmology,didn't do the show any favours either.
Just read the Wikipedia post. Curses. My opinion has vastly changed now to "Screw you, Dirk Benedict and your macrobiotic dietary lifestyle!"
An Open Letter to Dirk Benedict...
Dear Mr. Benedict,
Congratulations. You, sir, are rocking your 66 years of age. I don't know if it's a combination of clean living and daily mediations along with avoiding toxic foods -- or if you're boozing it up with dollar hookers from Tawain while chugging beers and smacking down wings...but please do share your secrets with us.
Best
Tom
P.S. oh please oh please oh please let it be #2!
Ugh, do not want. I have no interest in anything this asshole has done, ever since he spat in Katee Sackhoff`s face with his "Stardoe" and "Womenz has babies, men has cigarz" comments, as seen in his charmingly sexist article, "Starbuck: Lost in Castration" (As seen here: http://www.dirkbenedictcentral.... The man's slime, and just seeing his face here pisses me off.
Bah, linkage fail. Dirk Benedict asshattery found here: http://www.dirkbenedictcentral...
Oh, and if I had Mjolnir for a day? I'd use it to give Dirk Benedict a good smack in the mouth. And then I'd sit back with the biggest, dirtiest cigar I could find and have a good puff.
I love how he claims credit for creating such an awesomely creative character. Even my 10 yr old self knew that he was just a Han Solo ripoff.
BAH!
(Poor old Starbuck, you were imagined
to early. Think of the fun you could have had `fighting' with these
thong-clad aliens! In the spirit of such soft-core sci-fi porn I
think a more re-imaginative title would have been F**cked by A Cylon.
(Apologies to Touched by An Angel.)
THAT IS FRAKKIN' AWESOME! =D
Oh god, this is some sort of sign, isn't it? Isn't the convergence of three starbucks in the book of revelations?
Wow, he looks a lot better than he did when he was at a comic con here in Winnipeg a few years ago. He looked really old and rough then. Didn't know he's battled cancer though, so maybe that was it.
He also had a few facelifts, and I don't begrudge him for it either.Both Mark Hamil and Richard Hatch should have followed suit. They look as if they are melting !
sorry to be a "i've seen it before noobs" jerk, but I remember when this picture was taken, it was just before the remake series was first aired, i remember seeing it on a BSG website just when I started watching the show.
Yeah, same here. This was all over the net when the Mini first came out. I have no idea why the sudden resurgence of interest.
Clearly, thousands of internet nerds were lying down on the job eight years ago. (holy crap, has it been that long??)
This was from a special they did before the new(er) BSG started, talking about the differences between old and new. They had a passing of the torch (or cigar, in this case) from Benedict to Sackhoff.
