Does anyone seem to remember that the time slot for the original season was kind of odd? Where I lived (central time) it came on at like 6pm Sunday nights or something like that. I remember always only getting to see the first ten minutes before I was whisked away to go to church which started at 6:30. No matter how much I begged my parents to let me stay home and watch it--nope...In my household as a youth, nothing, and I mean NOTHING got you out of going to church on Sunday night.
I remember all my friends would be talking about it the next day at school, but I could never join in the conversation because I spent the evening getting yelled at by a Southern preacher.
God I feel old! I remember getting all the BSG toys one Christmas. All the ships with the spring loaded missiles,and the Galactica where it launched vipers... good times!
If I recall there was a recall on the toys, something to do with the launching missles as choke hazard or something.
Love Battlestar.
That 'Everything You Didn't Know' video on the other hand, incredibly weak.
So how do we feel about the "new" BSG?
