The "modern' Galacticon (or at least in the form we know it now) was kicked off in Los Angeles in 2003...Richard Hatch & team put that together to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Battlestar Galactica.
(I have had the good fortune to be on that team and every subsequent Galacticon since!).
Galacticon is of course is an indirect descendent of the "Yahren" Cons that happened every 5 years previously...so you have an idea of the lineage and connections to past events.
2008 saw the venue moved to the high seas...with Rex Mundi Productions LLC taking over the helm...with Galacticon II: Galacticruise & of course with Emissaries: Galacticon III in Houston.
Well any Convention is built on many things, not least it's guest list and to give all an idea of the who's who of Galacticon....
To keep it simple I'll feature a guests picture(s), name, show, character(s) name and Galacticon appearance.
For brevity's sake....and my fingers!....Galacticon (Los Angeles) becomes G1, Galacticruise becomes G2 & of course so on...
Also for the sake of my digits, Battlestar Galactica original series is BSG TOS...Reimagined is BSG RIS.
Also note that a lot of these folks made or will make repeat appearances so they are only pictured once, with the credit.
Also, for actors/actresses that appeared as guest stars, for the sake (again) of my digits, only the shows themselves will be noted, not the episodes (you can look them up!...lot more fun that way)...also to note considering the above note on abbreviation: Caprica is Caprica, Galactica 1980 is Galactica 1980 (easy!)...and if you will refer to the note below, any non BSG actors will have their show noted.
There will be but one credit per actor (except in the notable case of Richard Hatch and a few others)...way too many to list if it got down into that kind of detail AND if we are talking writers, producers, effects...well, it will be noted.
Before I begin I would like to add that NO Galacticon has ever...never been exclusively Battlestar Galactica...ain't that a kick in the pants...but true, each successive show has featured guest(s) from other shows as well....but I guess you wouldn't know till you saw the (almost) complete list!
Any omissions, mistakes or any other sort of errors on this list are my own...just noting that (unless of course any reference material was boo-booed in some way!).
Shall we begin?
Wheeee....!
