Looking back, it looks quite probable that you’re right, and simster was making a joke of the “Godfather III? What are you talking about? They came out with Godfather and Godfather II AND THAT’S ALL!” type.
But quite frankly I had never heard of Galactica 1980 myself, despite being aware of the 1978 series and the new re-imagined series, so I didn’t realize it.
Heh heh … thanks for letting me know, my dear chap.

You think maybe there was a reason you had never heard of it? I lived thru those years… I still bear the scars…the night terrors… The only way I’ve learned to cope was to believe that it was all a bad dream - yep to deny its very existance.
Thanks for ruining years of repression.

Logan’s Run, the TV series - yep - right there on the checklist - only good thing about it was deciding to find and read the book the original was based on.

I’ll let you in on a little secret. Despite how much I liked it when it first came out, the original BSG sucked too. A wild west shootout with a Cylon? The mechanical dog? Yech.

Although the new BSG strictly rations nods to the original show (the pilot and the recent Razor movie being major exceptions), there’s one I’d like to see: the two Adamas are going through a crate of old belongings that got put into storage when William Adama first took command, and they pull out a Daggit™ doll. It’s computerized like one of those walking barking dog dolls, and Adama Sr. comments on how after the first Cylon war they were banned since nothing mobile, even toys, was allowed to be controlled by a computer chip anymore.

And then the Daggit™ doll shows why by animating, and with an electronic shriek latches onto one of their faces like a facehugger from the Aliens movies.
The thing I hated most about it is that they made the galactica crew so socially cluless when dealing with “mere earthers”. Not knowing the culture is one thing, not knowing how “people” act is just idiocy.

Or speaking perfect American English except for random words dealing with technology (I wonder the teams sent to the USSR speak). I’ll admit it was a little fun to see Andromus again. Did Larson have plans to introduce humanoid Cylons in TOS if it got renewed? I know the flying motorcycles for meant for the series.

Happy New Years! May all your wishes come true.

Ooh, it even has the US Army Military Intelligence branch insignia on it. I served with them, and have some originals.

I think it would be funnier if it latched onto his crotch instead. Crotch is always funny.
