Meet the stars: ‘Battlestar Galactica’ free event this Thursday in Hollywood

A reminder that this Thursday night I will be moderating a very special ‘Battlestar Galactica’ panel with Mary McDonnell, Edward James Olmos, Ron Moore and David Eick along with some representatives of the United Nations. That may sound like an odd mix, but anyone familiar with the late, great television series knows that it delved into some harrowing human rights issues and was laced with heavy social and ethical themes.

This will be the second panel of this kind -- there was a New York edition moderated by Whoopi Goldberg that set a starting point for this West Coast conversation. Here’s a video that will give you a sense of that first event...

We’ll be doing the panel in a 500-seat venue at Mann Chinese 6 Theatres (6801 Hollywood Blvd.) and you can find out about the ticketing process and other details at the Envelope Screening Series website.

I’d love to say hello (and thank you!) to you regular Hero Complex readers so if you do make it by, please be sure to stop me and introduce yourself...
