Galactica 1980

"The Return of Starbuck was fun, with great humor. The rest were mostly very cheap looking, with silly lame stories, and set on earth.

If you are coming off the original Battlestar Galactica series, Galactica 1980 might be disappointing.But if you compare it to terrestrial adventure shows of the late 70's early 80's, it's really awesome.

I enjoyed Galactica 1980 when I was eight years old. Of course I enjoyed anything that had spaceships shooting at each other.

In 1980.. a TV series came out that changed the face of American theater arts.

**minor spoilers**The original Battlestar Galactica's (1978) sequel/spin-off show Galactica 1980 (1980), about the Galactica finally arriving at Earth, was not a great success at the time, and watching it for the first time in 2013, I can understand why. There are some good ideas here and there, but also some very, very bad ones.

This series is not as bad as some people have made it out to be, but neither is it any where near as good as the original series. The FX are a bit cheesier for this one, but considering how much the original series cost, I guess that shouldn't come as a surprise.

The original Battlestar Galactica (1978) was by far the most ambitious and expensive series brought to the tv screen. At a budget of $1 million per episode and featuring mega stars like Lorne Greene, Richard Hatch, Jane Seymour, Lloyd Bridges, FRED ASTAIRE, as well as budding 80s icons Dirk Benedict, Anne Lockhart and so on, the talent alone carried a huge price tag.

I am a die hard SciFi fan, but even as a young boy, this 'remake' was IMHO truly a waste of my time. I do not say this lightly as I love SciFi, but this effort is crap to put it in its best light.

No scientific, or technical advisers?, if so they must have all been tripping on LSD.
