Actually Spock is the product of a trans-species marriage!
Whats the over/under on how many trans will be prominent??
They should do Cities in Flight!
I’ve been waiting for that since 1960’s...............
Will they still have the cheesy looking computers?
Starbuck will be driving a Chevy Van and running a Coffee Shop full of Bikini clad Robot Baristas.
The Cylons will be Orange and their evil Boss will be an Oopa Loopa who escaped from Wille Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.
Unless it has Lorne Greene, Maren Jensen and Anne Lockhart in it, forget it.
I sort of liked the original despite it being a bit stupid. It did have lots of pretty girls.

Like a lot of sci-fi theme television shows from that era, the pilot and early episodes were fairly serious, but as they went on the writing got very campy. Think of Six Million Dollar Man and Buck Rogers. You could tell that these shows were produced in California too, because a lot of new age themes seemed to creep into the writing.
If you get on youtube and pull up some episodes from these series, it’s actually hard not to laugh and cringe at the same time.
That would be a good one!
I will crawl across broken glass 2c it
I remember looking forward with anticipation to the premiere of the original after weeks of TV promos.
Then was furious when it was interrupted in the middle by Jimmy Carter announcing the Camp David Accords.
Give it a try!
I have a sure fire opening for every letter.
Dear programming cretins:
They read the assertive letters.
Boston could do the soundtrack!................
I saw the first one, and the movie release. It was an OK science fiction movie. How come I never met any “Socialators” like that!
They also stole scenes of the agriculture ships from SILENT RUNNING being blown up.
Then it was brought back with Loren Green and a kid named Dr Z. Saw the first two episodes and realized the show had dumbed down to a real kiddie show no longer for adults. Never watched it again.
Displays by Tektronix.
I liked the Land-Ram tracked vehicle.
Ping.
NBC there, be there (again).
The second BG is well worth watching—infinitely better than the campy first version—and imho a masterpiece of the tv sf genre—second only to Babylon 5 imho.
The opening episode of season 1 _will_ grab your attention.
After that you will be amazed by a gritty version of SF—great stuff.
And...I was one of those who _loved_ the last episode of the last season—though there are many who disagree.
It will take some really big to unseat Babylon 5.
So wait, a reboot OF a reboot? They ALREADY “reimagined” it for “modern 21st century audiences” in 2004.
