But did you see the =original= Galactica series?
One night in 1979 (or thereabouts), I was sitting at home in Brockport with my babycheeks au gratin Sue. She was a =stone= fan. "Mike!--watch!" Yeah, well...
Baltar's ships had cornered the GALACTICA. Hitting it with lasers. "Burn, GALACTICA! Burn!," said Baltar in delight. "Sir...you should see this." "Not now! I want to relish this!" But things got a little =hot= aboard Baltar's ship... "What's...what's =that=, robot?" screamed Baltar.
Seems =another= Battlestar had survived. ATLANTICA, by name. And that big ship was dealing hard. Protecting GALACTICA.
Sue screamed with delight. We did a little dance.
And that's all I recall.

I was thinkin about picking up on it with netflix over the summer. I probably will anyways but thought I would ask what some think.
Scott Miller Wrote:Well I've embarked on the final leg of Battlestar Galactica and they continue to confound expectations with Earth being what it is. While I can't wait to see how it ends I'm going to be sad to see it end.
The Mad American Wrote:That statement sums up my feelings about the ending of the series as well. I was excited to see how it would end but not happy that it was ending. As I have said before I will hold off on any details but I wasn't upset with the series finale as some people were.
Scott Miller Wrote:It's in the books and it is definitely the best SF show that has ever graced the small screen(I don't count The Twilight Zone as SF for some reason and it might be better than that anyway, they're close at any rate)IMO. I guess I haven't seen any real negative comments on the finale but I certainly thought it was good and adequately answered most of the questions that were raised throughout the series. I feel kind of lost without another episode or season to watch and I'd say that is a pretty good benchmark for quality; leave them wanting more.
The Mad American Wrote:Glad to hear you enjoyed it and liked the finale. There is another site I visit often where people really didn't like the ending and felt it was a little bit unreal and a cop out. I didn't think that at all and had no problem with the kind of happy ending.
I felt the same way after it was over. What now? I still haven't found a series that has me looking forward to it ever week like BSG did.
