Holy carp. I was just out delivering some files, and the piles of snow are steaming out there. Like dry ice.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
BG was my favorite series at the time, but I missed big chunks of it because it conflicted with chores. Usually I'd end up seeing about half an episode. (This was many years before my parents' bought a VCR.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey, Richard Hatch is in a few episodes of the current series. I knew he was familiar. I am not fast. I think the Survivor thing confused me.
Heather -- I will take your word on the timeline. It seemed to me while watching that she was coming to large conclusions without examining the evidence to hand.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
All I know about the original Galactica is that they all wore earth-tone capes. Talk about your fashion disaster!
In the murky, Sci-Fi Channel-watching-while-sick parts of my brain, there is a robot and a kid and a robot kid, but I am never 100% sure which ones are on Galactica and which ones on Lost in Space and other kitsch reruns.
Whither robots? It seems like we never see robots on TV any more. Is it that the audience won't take talking toasters any more, and you can't make actors wear Data-style makeup? Or is the idea exhausted, as future-robots look more and more like humans?
I'd be chuffed to see a TV series that included a robot firmly entrenched in the uncanny valley. Make it a lonely robot, yearning for friendship, and I'd be double chuffed.

How about a sitcom about a family of Terminators? Or that I, Robot robot, working at an ad agency?

What is even happening?
BG was my favorite series at the time, but I missed big chunks of it because it conflicted with chores.Forgot y'all were talking about Battlestar Galactica. The Angel thread was discussing Buffy/Giles the other day, and my squick just accidentally activated again, for a moment, tommyrot.

Well, BG still has a few running around.
I think AI isn't as interesting as artificial or other life these days, perhaps because we've anthropomorphised our silicon to within an inch of it's nonlife. So there's cloning and mutation and aliens in those spaces.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
UGH.
So I'm wearing a beautiful new pink flowy skirt my mom bought me.
I had to pee. Somehow, My beautiful new skirt ended up in the toilet. I don't know how I managed it.
I have to run errands around lab, and I'm soaked.
I am a fucking idiot.

No robot dogs? What kind of crappy show is this anyway?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
you are unlucky, you are not an idiot.
I miss the Buck Rogers robots. I remember BR much more than BG.
