Battlestar Galactica: Old School

http://www.stradanove.net/news/images/cinema/b/battlestar-galactica.jpgLast night was the first of hopefully many Battlestar Galactica nights. While the new series is taking a long break to recharge and come back at us in full strength, some friends and I are getting reverse nostalgia. We are watching the 1978 version and remembering character names and places from the newer series. I guess this is what some people felt when they watched the new series.

It's wonderfully bad, I know. It's a little annoying when they switch their "futuristic" sci-fi terms between lines, and the bad guys are just comical. Who cares? It's older than I am, so it is expected to be laughable.

We're only through the first of six disks, and need to watch them all over again with commentary later.  That should tide us over for full Wednesday nights for the rest of the summer.  If you're in Lincoln on any Wednesday this summer, come on over with some money for pizza or other food to share.
