    It needs to be taken care of, so it might as well be right off the bat...

    "Dad, dad! That lady has almost no clothes on!"
    "She's what's called a 'Booth Babe,' son. We'll talk more about her in a few years."
    "Can't we talk about her now?"
    "No."
    "But..."
    "No."
    "I j-"
    "No. Not for at least four years. Oh look City of Villains. Wanna play?"

    I'll second that. Just watch the opening credits for the movie version of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979). Erin Grey and Pamela Hensley rolling around on the Buck Rogers letters in tight, revealing clothing. I'll take that over Natalie Portman and hot grits any day.

    God no. I'd rather be strapped down and forced to watch the original Battlestar Galactica, Wonderoman, The Incredible Hulk, Time Travelers or Batman!

    How about some Galactica 1980? ;)
