Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

I had one, too. Then I saw him a couple of years ago at a convention. It wasn't so much he had skin that you could make shoes out of. It was the gum-chewing. He apparently wasn't taught you do it with your mouth closed. (white-texted so people who wish to cherish their memories don't get them clouded without choosing to)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I actually liked the later episodes of BG. (We will not speak of the horrifying short-lived sequel series.) There were some episodes in which they were dealing with the problems of having thrown all these people willy-nilly onto a variety of ships that were pretty interesting.

It was also one of the first series that had actual arcs, which was kind of neat. Plus, Patrick MacNee played a villain.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Galactica 80!

Flying invisible motorcycles! What's not to love?

Oh, right. All of it.

I remember that I watched it with my dad, and certain names are familiar, but I remember absolutely nothing else about it. Which is weird as I remember other tv & movies from that age.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, and then there was time travel back to Nazi Germany in an attempt to jump-start the technology of Earth so we'd be better able to defend ourselves against the Cylons.

Galactica 1980 is one of the first shows I remember that was so bad that a black cloud formed over the television when it was on. Breakers switched off. Blenders tried to kill themselves by throwing themselves off the counter. Dogs howled.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Galactica 80!

I remember in high school there was one kid who claimed that Galactica actually reached Earth. Nobody else believed him.

Heh. Tom, was that kid... you?

Oh yeah, in Junior High, the marching band played the theme to BG during the homecoming parade.

I still remember parts of the French Horn part....
