GOD TOOK a back seat for this Star Wars re-hash, complete with cylons, the ace John Dykstra’s effects, Bonanza’s LORNE GREENE, a bastard hateful child and his asthmatic robot dog Moxie or Muffet , and of course DIRK BENEDICT, later to evince early ’80s postmodernism with the “Cylon incident” in the A-Team credit sequence. Good stuff, until they found Earth and PATRICK STEWART in Galactica 1980.

….and resurrected again to become the most talked about (and arguably best) Sci-Fi reboot in TV history.

Couldn’t agree more on the re-boot. EXCELLENT!
The original was still great… when you are 7.
I yearned after a ‘viper pilot jacket’ that was for sale in ‘Fangora’ magazine, but never had the budget (or the know how on ordering it from the USofA… GASP).
It’s Galac-tastic!

“Best SCI-FI reboot in TV history?”, unlikely. That honour goes to Doctor Who. I prefer the classic Galactica,(minus Galactica 80,of course!). Hence owning the box-set of the all the so few episodes.

Just to make clear, it wasn’t *that* Patrick Stewart they got later (i.e. Jean-Luc Picard).
