Wow, I have only now become aware that there is/was a "Battlestar Galactica" TV show other than the 1978 series with Lorne Greene.

Somehow the original "Galactica" gets merged in my memory with "Space: 1999", "Silent Running", and various other forgettable sci-fi of the decade. Basically, in the 1970s, there was "Star Wars", and then there was everything else. I assume that, everytime my ears or eyes register "Battlestar Galactica", my brain intercepts and destroys the message, saying you don't want to revisit that crap. Thus I have missed what sounds, from this thread, like a sort of interesting TV show.
