2008-10-23 [Paul Doyle]: Yes! Cthulhu for the win . . . or your brains are its supper.

2008-10-23 [The Red Baron]: Richard the Warlock will turn Cthulhu to fried calamari rings.

2008-10-23 [Paul Doyle]: Ooo, maybe we could get some dipping sauce! And perhaps some shrimp to go along with it, too. Should I add Richard the Warlock to this poll, then?

Now where did I put the bread crumbs and oregano . . .

2008-10-23 [The Red Baron]: Be my guest, but I already voted for Dooku; my loyalty to the CIS stands.

Republic Galactica! I could be one of your kids!
Republic Galactica! Instead I joined the Separatists!
Republic Galactica! I'm sick of putting up with your shit!
I joined the CIS! Look how many droids I get!

Republic Galactica! I could be one of your kids!
Republic Galactica! Instead I joined the Separatists!
Republic Galactica! You decadent corrupted twits!
I joined the CIS! Look how many droids I get!

2008-10-23 [Paul Doyle]: Ah, yes. And then, there was always the horror known as "Galactica: 1980" which was simply a watered-down version of the original BSG, meant for kiddies. And wow, "1980" sucked to high heaven. (I used to watch it on TV, as a little kid)

They had cool motorcycles, but that was about it. This is just a cheesy mashup:

2008-10-23 [The Red Baron]: Spiral Zone had cool vehicles too.

2008-10-24 [Paul Doyle]: The 2008 Oakland Raiders are not getting any love here. Gee, I wonder why! *laughs*

2008-10-24 [Lord Dog]: I saw episodes of G:80 before the new Galacticas came out...Thank god the only thing they came out of that series was the human looking cylons

2008-10-24 [Paul Doyle]: It was just astonishingly bad, not that the original BSG was all that great to begin with. And they even had that actor who played "Cousin Oliver" on The Brady Bunch" who helped end that show, playing a boy genius. You could tell Lorne Greene as "Adnama" was reading idiot lines.

2008-10-24 [Lord Dog]: Funny thing I had read about that show is that towards the end , the actors were so sick of it that a lot of the scenes were done with stand ins because and pieced together because the actors recorded their parts at different times

2008-10-24 [Paul Doyle]: I remember they brought back Starbuck at the end, but by that time the show had been mercifully cancelled. By comparison, the original BSG movie (which was simply the pilot episode with a few things thrown in) was downright Oscar worthy. Again, that's not saying much. :P

2008-10-24 [Kyrinn]: the new BSG sucks rocks. I HATE it. The old series was cheesy but at least the characters were all likeable. >.>

2008-10-25 [Paul Doyle]: I had the pleasure of seeing the original "Battlestar Galactica" movie, which was theatrically released overseas in 1978/79. I saw it in Auckland NZ on a humongous screen when I was about 5 years old and loved it. I have that movie on DVD now, and though it's aged rather badly, it's still good fun to watch every now and then. Seeing Rick Springfield as "Zac" getting blown up (first he explodes, then his ship explodes!) is as funny as hell. And then there's those multi-eyed/mouthed spaced-out Supremes wanna-bes singing "Love Love Love" in a chintzy casino. Any of that seeems more appealing to me than the new show, even though the new show had infinitely better special effects and sexier babes. The old show was produced by Mormons, and the whole storyline strongly relects Mormon beliefs. Plus it was the 1970's and political correctness didn't exist back then.

2008-10-25 [Lord Dog]: Yeah though if you want a real cheesy scifi romp, you can't beat "Buck Rogers" which incidentally is the slated for a SciFi channel remake I heard

2008-10-25 [Kyrinn]: OMG WHo knew that spandex and disco will still be hot five hundred years from now? XD I always wanted to turn Twikkie (or however that stupid name is spelled) into a bomb and blow him up. 

2008-10-25 [Paul Doyle]: Remember that "Hawk" character who flew in a ship that looked like (you're never going to guess!) a hawk?

Most who watched the show (as I did) remember the opening:

Too bad they couldn't keep this, from the pilot movie ;-)

Dammit, Youtube took it down, so if you have any patience and want to see a classically cheesy, classically politically incorrect 1970s babe-laden theme song, it's at the beginning of this. (Give it time to load - I only wanted the 007-ish 7-minute theme song where Buck's asleep surrounded by an ultra-sexified Erin Grey and the other women from the show. Not the first half of the pilot movie!):

I found the music only. no babes, unfortunately :/

2008-10-28 [Paul Doyle]:

2008-10-28 [Kyrinn]: the woman behind Obama looks like the nazi blond you see in old war movies. 

2008-10-28 [Paul Doyle]: Oh, that's Cindy McCain. Maybe she overdid the facial plastic surgery, just a bit?

2008-10-28 [Kyrinn]: Mrs McCain? O__O yah, just a bit.

2008-10-28 [Paul Doyle]: Just like Cher (though I still think Cher's a hottie on the inside, mind you) smiling might be a major health risk.
