    Here's a picture of Cassiopa and Sheba (from Battlestar Galactica)

    Here's a picture of Athena (from Battlestar Galactica)

    Here's a picture of colonel Wilma Deering (from Buck Rogers)

    Compare the Buck Rogers one with this photo of Natalie (on the right) and this one from above.

    The similarities have not been lost on a lot of people;

    IMHO - Natalie still seems much like a girl, compared to the others above that seem like women. Maybe it's because I grew up with them ;-))

    Also it seems Battlestar Galactica is making a comeback;

  3. See the real Dagit by wurp · · Score: 1 · on New Episodes Of Battlestar Galactica?
    You can see the real Dagit (i.e. the "man" behind the costume) here.

    By the way, I had the good fortune to see Erin Gray up-close and in-person at a sci-fi convention in Sprinfield, MO, just last weekend. She not only was she as hot as you remember in the show, she still looks pretty damned hot to me! She has aged _very_ well.

  4. To Those Who Say BG "Sucked": by CleverNickName · · Score: 2 · on New Episodes Of Battlestar Galactica?
    I disagree. While the production values may not have been stellar, they certainly were up to the standards of the time, for a weekly network series. And sure, not all the episodes were great, but unless you're doing "The Prisoner", where you focus on 17 episodes, you're going to have some dogs.

    Consider this, though: I argue that the brilliance of SF is that it can address very volitile social issues, like racism, environmentalism, sexism, etc., and do so safely. People may dismiss a story about slavery, for example, but when you change the races to Gorthos enslaving Kangoids, you can tell the same story, and get the same message across. Those of us who grew up in the 70's and 80's all clearly remember the fear of nuclear war, right? The most memorable episode for me was the one called "Experiment in Terra", where Apollo ends up on a suspiciously "earth-like" planet, and has to diffuse a nuclear confrontation between "The Eastern Alliance" and "The People's Nationalist Force". The allegories were clear, even to my 10 year-old brain. It was then that I learned the true power of Science Fiction, and officially became a nerd.

    And if he does, will they still do this??
