Of course, the big question is how does BSG: '80 compare to The Star Wars Holiday Special, just the special, not the Rifftrax commentary that vastly improves it, just the show

I’d hazard a guess that TSWHS is worse than BSG: '80, because BSG '80 DOES NOT HAVE FIFTEEN MINUTES OF UN-SUBTITLED WOOKIE-ESE

fifteen minutes of walking carpets growling and grunting, culminating in the worst variety show acts imaginable

TSWHS makes Manos; The Hands of Fate look like Shakespeare

but since I’m a fan of bad movies, I’ll eventually have to see G: '80 just to see how bad it is…

While I would like to agree that SW:THS is worse for any single hour of television history, BSG:80 has SEVERAL episodes with which to deal, and we were lucky enough that they saw fit to NEVER release SW:THS in any real form. BSG:80 - notsomuch.

Oh, and some things you just can’t ‘unsee’, this is one of them.

2. A scene where Apollo (or maybe Starbuck) and some girl go into a bank to exchange gold for regular currency.

Apollo? Starbuck?

Try Troy and Dillon.

Yeah, the Troy is the substitute (& stepson of) Apollo and Dillon stood in for Starbuck. It was Dillon who “robbed” the bank. By the way could you real walk unto a bank and exchange gold for cash in the 70s/80s? :dubious:

“Galactica 1980” was the worst thing Brion James ever acted in. You heard me.
