Proto-"Battlestar Galactica".

I watched the pilot of the 1978 Battlestar Galactica last night.

It’s every bit as frightfully boring as I recall from my childhood. -_-

You know, I haven't watched the new one, but it always surprises me when people say it's really good, cos I remember the old one as being completely fucking TERRIBLE and CAMP!

Ooh, you have to watch the new one! :) If only for the anal and oral intercourse they keep hinting at.

Seriously, though, the new series has an entirely different tone: dark, quasi-religious and militaristic. (They turned the enlightened and patriarchal Adama into a kick-ass commando!) It's the new tone that makes it "work", IMO, and the changes that viewers frequently bitch about (female Starbuck, guns instead of lasers, etc.) are purely superficial.

The writing is tops, too!
