Lessee... The Skiffy Channel has screwed the Aldeberan pooch now with; Farscape. Bablyon 5. B5: Legend of the Rangers. MST3K. Trek Classic STTNG. And Now Battlestar Galactica... I wonder if they ever even =saw= Battlestar Galactica (I do =NOT= consider 'Galactica 1980' as part of the series cannon. It was little more than a rancid brainfart between wannabe 'CHiPs' and 'Six Million Dollar Man' writers with a hard-on for Robbie Rist). And wondering what they will do regarding the Galactica herself is a valid fear; Larson sold the model to a collector a few years ago, so unless it was rented back, they will be starting over (who wants to bet on an 'improved' CG Galactica with new super dooper focus group enhancements? Say like Lexx's bulbs?). And Starbuck a woman? Skiffy hasn't got the balls to have that kind of portrayal (not that female fighter jocks don't exhibit said behavior. In fact, they can be worse than the guys ;P ). And we won't even mention what a romantic relationship between officers of differing rank, in the same unit, who go out and get shot at would actually be like. Or how many rules would be broken to allow something like that to happen (Now if the Starbuckette was a cigar chewer, and had the charm of a goddess and the hormones of a room of 15 year olds with their first vibrator.... Now -that- might be something to see...! Not to mention being completely in character). I may have to watch the first episode, to see if it is going to be as bad as it sounds.... I wonder what ever happened to the idea of doing something original, and taking credit for that.....
