Edward James Olmos has been spending a good part of the weekend hyping up "Blade Runner" as a successor in franchises for those who need to get a "Battlestar Galactica" fix, but he did take a couple minutes on the red carpet of the Entertainment Weekly/Syfy party at San Diego Comic-Con Saturday night to talk about the late Harvey Frand.

Frand was a line producer on "Battlestar Galactica" who died last week at 68. He had been suffering from health problems over the last couple years.

At the same time, "Battlestar Galactica" showrunner Ronald D. Moore spoke out heavily against the Emmys for continuing to overlook quality shows like "Battlestar," and Olmos shared some of his thoughts about what Moore had to say.

Unfortunately, the audio is a little weak (I had a microphone on the camera, and was even doing audio on my trusty little digital recorder designed for situations like this. But Olmos is very soft spoken.

But listen closely, because when Edward James Olmos speaks, we're all listening.
