In a fit of pure silliness yesterday, I got to thinking how I would re-cast ‘Battlestar Galactica’ as a Simpsons spoof. I thought the characters would fit something like this (obviously enough, this would be non-continuity, i.e. Homer & Marge aren’t married, the kids could be aged a la the “Lisa’s true love” ep., etc.):
Adm. Adama - Homer
President Roslin - Marge
Tigh - Barney
Apollo - Bart
Starbuck - Lisa*
Boomer/Athena - Sherry / Terry
Helu - Nelson
Dee - Jenny
Gaeta - Martin
Tyrol - Milhouse
Cally - Samantha Stanky
Anders - Jimbo
Kat - Jessica Lovejoy
Ellen Tigh - Mrs. Krabappel
Doc Cottle - Dr. Marvin Monroe
Li’l Hera - Maggie
Zarek - Mayor Quimby
Billy - Squeaky-voiced Teenager
Tori - Manjula
Gaius Baltar - Prof. Frink
Ones (Cavil) - Rev. Lovejoy
Twos (Leobon) - Ned Flanders
Threes (D’annas) - Lindsay Nagle
Fours (Simon) - Dr. Hibbard
Fives (Doral) - Troy McClure
Sixes (Caprica) - Lurleen Lumpkin
Hybrid - Maude Flanders
Toasters - Karl & Lenny
Waddaya think?
*In this version, of course, the soapy Apollo-Starbuck love story angle will be jettisoned like a skinjob out an airlock - which would only be an improvement, IMO.
