30 Yahrens ago tonight (Sept 17)
This is the 30th anniversary of the premiere of Battlestar Galactica. (Yep, still hooked.) I've finished watching the original series and it really was a lot better than I expected. It's not perfect, it was intended to be a series of television movies, but ABC insisted on making it a regular series and the production got rushed. At least one script had to be written in 24 hours! In spite of the problems, I just can't help loving these characters. The show's much more family oriented than the new version, and, quite frankly, much less depressing. There's such a feeling of hope throughout the entire series. That may not be realistic, but it's fun. It's a terrible shame that it was cancelled after just one season even though it was a top 20 show and shows with lower ratings were getting renewed.
This show deserves to be watched (as if a show can deserve anything. :) ) Americans can watch it online at NBC Although for some reason the episodes are in reverse order with the last ones listed first. I'm sure there are other places to find it online you can find the first episode or the feature film that was made out of the first episode.
Anyway, I felt I should do something to mark the show's anniversary.
Oh, and I still prefer Starbuck with Athena not Cassiopeia.
