Battlestar Galactica

Got to learn Kobol.

Every time I hear Kobol, I think of the original Battlestar Galactica for some reason.

The Lords of Kobol.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Tom, I saw a little...

You know, we're watching Battlestar Galactica on The Full Experience, and I don't know if you know, but that show had a reboot of Battle- called Battlestar Galactica by Ronald D. Moore.

Yeah, which we also did on The Full Experience.

Yeah, that's right.

Uh, uh, well, uh, yeah, that's right.

Um, and, uh, I, I made it all the way through Voyager.

I made it all the way through Deep Space Nine.

I made it all the way through the original series and through the animation, uh, that we watched on The Full Experience, and, uh, am, have been in the middle of watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the next one up this weekend for me was Unification.

How about you?

This is far and away the schlockiest episode of Battlestar Galactica 1978 that we've seen, that I've seen.

I didn't know it got this schlocky.

And I found myself utterly hypnotized and delighted.

I suspect it's the lowest rated because it's the least credible.

It's the least polished.

It's the Battlestar Galactica rushed to be the Star Wars of

television.

We'll, of course, have the notes for that in the podcast notes, the links, linky-dos, and all that good stuff.

And so, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, oh, by the way, I'm sorry, they produced a fan film called The Stranded Warrior, a Battlestar Galactica fan film.

We're going to talk about that.

All four of us have watched that.

This is...

This is something that I'm very passionate about, and I'm talking about science fiction.

And so I have an outlet, and that outlet all came about through Battlestar Galactica.

That is what brought us together.

Hardcastle & McCormick.

The person who did the Fall Guy TV show also did, I think, Battlestar Galactica, the original Battlestar Galactica.

And, and Knight Rider-

Yeah

But it was so big you might as well have started it, for many people observe it on Wednesday.

[laughs] I got, I got more Battlestar Galactica 1978 trivia for you.

You ready? Go on.

Okay.

And by the way, the connective thread was we were talking about Odin's dog Wednesday, and that made me think of Wednesday Addams, which made me think of The Addams Family, which made me think of Cousin Itt, which made me think of the actor who played Cousin Itt is the little person inside of the evil robot Lucifer, the right-hand Cylon of Gaius Baltar in the original Battlestar Galactica.

Do you remember that one? He had, like, two little red lines, and he was like, "I'm a subservient being of light named Lucifer.

Nothing to worry about here"- Hmm ... "Gaius Baltar." Foreshadowing.

Yeah.
