"Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

A seminal moment in SiFi movie making. Enjoyed him in the Hitcher too. Sad to read of his demise.

Jeffrey Epstein

monster or not. He killed himself in the cell. I expect a new theory that he was killed by people with money who didn't want their "adventures" be known.
