Lucky, I’m so joining you in this… if my guilty conscience lets me, I have papers to write! 
And if anyone is interested… watch online at Netflix! 
Complete the mission and you’ll never write another paper again. Or write any thing else for that matter.

If that’s what the cable people look like in Baltimore, I’m moving up there. Prepare the spare room!
I’m just picturing some porn scenario where she comes in to fix some guy’s phone or electricity or cable or something and he can’t pay her so she, well, you know…
And make sure your S/O is in the room with you, commenting at inoportune moments.
ould be a very interesting research experiment. I don’t know there have been any well documented studies on combined reduction in IQ and loss of brain cells associated with the act of watching BSG:TOS and heavy drinking (CRIIALOBCAWTAOWBSG:TOSAHD)…and least none of scholarly note…and no recent papers on the subject in CRIIALOBCAWTAOWBSG:TOSAHD Journal
Which is surprising, because BSG:TOS isn’t really watchable without the drinking. Please document and report your results.
I’ll start by making the White Russians then I’ll get a notebook.

OldTimer, you’re reminding me of a classic MST3K moment: “Rock climbing, Joel. Rock climbing.” (Though I forget the name of the movie that was associated with. It did star Peter Graves, though. It didn’t have gladiators, but it did, indeed, involve rock climbing. Lots and lots of rock climbing…and plastic dinosaurs.)
Rock climbing has nothing on “sandstorm”. Deep hurting. DEEP HURTING!
If it is that cheesy, Sean’s dog will like it…

Three words - Joe Don Baker. (“They’re going out into the hall again.”)
By the way - just in time for The Holidays - complete, deluxe MST3K DVD set now at a store near you. (Unfortunately all of our spare cash will be seized to bail out Citi Group.)
Speaking of which - all you GWC veterans - what ever happened to Roman Sandstorm? Still furious over suggestions that All Along the Watchtower has some significance to the overall plot development of BSG?
AH YES! How could I forget about “DEEP HURTING?” Man, I miss that show!
(Of course, the “rock climbing”–what WAS the movie they were watching–episode has one of my favorite lines, as a musician, when Crow T. Robot comments on the movie’s score: “Hey, it’s John Williams BEFORE he’d heard Stravinsky!”)
I’ve tried, I’ve tired so hard but I just can’t do it. I can’t watch the old BSG it just too… Seventies? I don’t really know, but the fact that the Vipers have a “Turbo” button, reminds me of the way computers long ago (386, 486 era) had turbo buttons, so you could turn it off and on purposely slow down your computer.
For a real hoot watch, I think it’s the last episode of Galactic 1980 where starbuck fixes Larry and they become friends, now that’s just cheese.
Boy oh boy Starfire. Be prepare for The Wrath of Pike regarding that last episode of G1980 comment. I’ll be signing off for a few days now until the storm blows over.
Eh, it’s just an opinion try watching “Buck Rogers in the 24th Century” too I use to watch that when I was a kid, and it was new then. Biddy, Biddy, Biddy, Biddy!
Long, cold stare
C’mon, Cy, we’re leaving.
Having met you, I can totally picture this, Pike. And the mental image is funny as hell.
Finishing up this week’s episode…
“Saga of a Star World”
(or… Starbuck is a man! Bug Aliens! The Cylons that couldn’t shoot straight!)
PART 2!!!
Ice cold Canadian beer? Check.
Suspension of disbelief set to high? Check.
1:01:36 I am finding the robes the council is wearing just a bit creepy. They look like 12 Popeitines sitting at the table.
1:05:51 Some halfway decent moments between Papadama and Apollo….and GOOD GOD…What the f*** is that??!! Muffit II, the Daggit? Are they serious? It looks like Alf crossed with a bad acid trip. The show’s stock is rapidly plummeting….
1:09:45 Feldercarb=shit? Bwhahahahahahahaha……
1:18:00 Larry! Ready to slice and dice Baltar with his sword form the home shopping network. I think the “swords” me and my brother used to battle each other when we were young lads were a bit more realistic. Coarse they were kitchen knives, and cooking pans were our shields, but my mother put an end to that. Honestly, I think she was more worried about the dents in the cooking pans than her sons trying to slice and dice each other with kitchen hardware.
1:23:00 So we go from the holocaust to a casino planet where Starbuck is worried about gambling for some cubics. I’m speechless. It would be like in the re-imagined series, after the 12 colonies die, Adama decides to go to a Theme park with water slides. Billions dead…let’s celebrate!
1:25:00 Boxey learns the entire history of the Cylon war from Apollo.
Cylon[z] were created by lizards…
The lizards died and the Cylon[z] grew bored…
…And they have a plan…
The ONLY person I can ever remember successfully including space lizards in a science fiction series was Turtledove’s alternate history series “In the Balance.” Also, the story has some gems hidden in there, but the story telling is pretty heavy handed. It just feels like it should be natural, instead of a ten minute explanation on the facts of life to Boxey. And like the Egyptian helmets. We get it. Life here began out there. They tell us that in the opening scene. We don’t need it beaten into our skulls. I just am getting the feeling that Larson thinks we are all idiots.
1:26:00 Four eyed dancers with two mouths. I don’t even know what to say anymore, other than that’s a new one.
1:53:00 Capes! The fashionable style of yesterday tomorrow!
1:55:39 Ant Aliens[!] are cutting a deal with the Cylon[z]! I think it’s Larry!
1:58:05 Starbuck is going to blow up an entire planet by igniting Tylium with his laser pistol. Cheesey, but, this only means Kara thrace is going to have to top this by blowing up the Cylon[z] homeworld with nothing more than a tooth pick.
1:59:00 Lots of Centurions shooting. They can’t–and I haven’t seen them do it yet—hit a single person, but one shot from a colonial pistol downs them.
2:01:29 Oh Frack! First utterance of frack by Starbuck. Starbuck shoots some Tylium, but sadly its explosive properties have been exaggerated.
2:03:00 Council keeps thinking they can have peace with the Cylon[z]. Cylon[z] concept of peace radically different.
2:03:45 Watching Muffit II take down a centurion is a hard thing to explain. It’s like watching a one legged squirrel taking down an arthritic, wheezing, amputee bear that is about to die of old age.
2:12:41 What’s up with the imperious leader? They don’t show his face close up, but at a blurry distance it looks like a goat head with curly hear.
2: 14:00 This takes the cake. It’s like I am watching sock puppet theater. Imagine a screen still. Next imagine two vipers hand drawn on cardboard held up a stick. The same with a Basestar. Next imagine someone moving around those cutouts on the still. That pretty much describes the epic final battle for this episode.
2:18:00 The end! Baltar is given his own basestar. We meet Baltar’s new best friend for life, Lucifer. Lucifer basically looks like a cliché robot with the upper half of his head looking like an ice cone, hushpuppy, ice-e, or whatever they call it in your neck of the woods.
Frack count: 1
Muffit II Maulings: 1
Feldercarb: 1
Larry!: 2
Pipe beat downs: 0
This concludes “Saga of a Star World.” Next week: “Lost Planet of the Gods Part One.”
Yup. At the time, this was cutting edge TV. You might want to add a ‘viper swoops and blows up a raider’ count.
Those FX shots are going to get VERY familiar before the series is done. Just sayin’…
Is it bad if Id rather read these reactions to the original series than watch the original series?
i actually watched the whole TOS series straight through about a month ago. i turned off my brain, and actually enjoyed the cheese! the only thing that i couldnt stop laughing was their “triad diapers” haha
