    Default BattleStar Galactica

    Im watching it on the Duece and the Comcast's (Shitcast) descritpion of the episode is a generic for the entire series.

    "Big-budget sci-fi flop that was more tha a bit reminiscent of Star Wars"

    I think in some small ways it was, but it was kinda its own niche.

    What say the CO-ARFcomers???

    Are we talking the old 70's series or the new one they did? If it's the new one, great series. I'd hardly call it a flop. It lasted for 5 seasons and actually ended rather than getting canned. Starts off a little slow but easily one of my favorite scifi series. More of a grown-up drama than a sci-fi show. I think its depiction of human behavior is dead on.

    The original was good for its time. Kinda B-rated but a great idea. I watched it all the time as a kid and loved it.

    Okay, it took me 3 seasons to get into the NEW Galactica, but I am a huge fan of both the original and the new BG series.

    Yes, the original was exceptionally cheesy and "B movie-ish", but it was a great concept and who didn't want a Viper of their very own?

    Now, "Galactica 1980" flat out sucked. That's the take off series where they found Earth. Starbuck and Apollo were dead, yet Adama was still around? Are you kidding me?

    So say we all?

    Was that the one with the flying motorbikes? I saw it in a cinema when I was young and it was utterly awesome
