Old Battlestar Galactica

One of the ads on this site told me that I could see whole episodes of the original Battlestar Galactica on NBC.com. I checked the site out, and sure enough, they’ve got the episodes.

I remember watching BG on TV back when I was around 12 years old — I loved the show. It was a show that my friends watched, too, so we could always talk about the latest adventures of Apollo and Starbuck. I had a couple of BG toys, and I especially remember the vipers. I’d mix and match the toys with my Star Wars stuff, and I’d have adventures every bit as amazing as any aired on the show.

I just watched an episode on NBC.com, and I’m surprised to say that it wasn’t bad. I fully expected to find it completely hokey, but it was just mostly hokey. It was actually decent enough that I’ll probably watch a couple more episodes. Or maybe I shouldn’t. Maybe I just got lucky and watched a decent one. Maybe my next will ruin the memories for me. Hmm. I’ll think about it.
