    He does seem to have put a lot of work into it. His site and his other site

    Bell bottoms are back, the Stones are still touring and...

    Oh, wait. For a minute there I was expecting this apollo.

  3. How strange... by fm6 · · Score: 1 · on Olmos Tells Fans: "Don't Watch Galactica"
    Well, I thought it was pretty bad too. But I find the outpouring of Galactica bashing to be very strange. Sure, it had a ripoff premise, bad writing, mostly bad acting, and of course bad science. But every space opera I've seen on the big or little screen had some or all of these. But if you bash Star Wars (at least the first trilogy) or Babylon 5 on Slashdot, somebody will spring to its defense, citing imaginary literary element or "suspension of disbelief". But not for BG. Very curious.

    Especially since there are a lot of people there who are pretty fanatical about the original series. They're fairly pissed about this remake and have made a lot of noise in support of a sequel instead.

    Of course, there's no chance that anybody except these same fans would watch a sequel of any kind. But hey, since when did fans care about stuff like that?

  4. Will the real Richard Hatch please stand up? by Teancum · · Score: 1 · on Battlestar Galactica to Return

    Of course, I bet some Hollywood lawyer probabally thought that Richard Hatch was the same guy as that guy on the TV Survivor show, thought to settle some of the problems with him, and smoothing stuff out.

  5. Re:Apollo Returns by arturogatti · · Score: 1 · on Battlestar Galactica to Return

    No, Hatch isn't involved in this. In fact he regularly posts articles on his website (example) urging fans to petition the powers-that-be in an effort get his own treatment of the original story produced. By the way, Hatch isn't the creator of BSG, but he has co-written several novels based on the original show and, up until the point when this Sci-Fi project was announced, had been battling with BSG creator Glen Larson, attempting to win the rights to produce a new Galactica film or TV series. (BTW, Larson apparently doesn't control the rights either; those seem to be owned by Universal.)

  6. True geek drink is... by Scaba · · Score: 2, Funny · on Soda Machines for Geeks?

    ...a Caramel Frappuccino from Starbuck's. I believe Starbuck himself enjoys one after a hard day (night? does it matter in space?) fighting with Apollo against the tyranny of Lucifer, Baltar and the evil Cylons.

    And let us not forget...

    Battlestar Galactica
    The Formula: Star Wars space hype + Bonanza + Dukes of Hazzard + Lost In Space + way-cool Cylons + Star Trek Voyager
    The Skinny: Airing from 1978-80, starring Richard Hatch as Tom Wopat, and featuring Lorne Greene as Commander Adama. The plot: In the seventh millenium of time, a tribe of humanoids engaged in a terrifying conflict against a race of machines. The humans lost. Now, led by their last surviving warship, the mighty Battlestar Galactica, a handful of survivors moves slowly across the heavens in search of their ancestral brothers, a tribe of humans known through ancient records to be located somewhere on a distant shining planet, a planet called Earth.
