Battlestar Galactica (1978)

[Lincoln6Echo]

Before BSG (2003) even came about, I couldn't wait till the original series came out on DVD in the early days of TV Shows on DVD. Bought the series, watched it through and loved reminesing about the nostalgia that it brought back from its original run and the few re-runs I saw over the years.

HOWEVER, after experiencing the new Battlestar Galactica, it is just painful to watch any of those old shows. I popped in The Living Legend (the original Pegasus episode) today for shits and giggles, and I'll tell you that I couldn't get through half the first episode. (It's a 2-parter.)

The biggest problem is the acting and the story lines. It seems the biggest concern in this episode was who's bangin' who. Starbuck and Cassiopia, or Adm. Cain and Cassiopia. If you thought nuBSG became too much of a soap opera in space at times, TOS wrote the book on that one, except going about in the classic '70s cheese way. At least Moore had sense to make Anderson a Cylon in nuBSG. LOL!
