I had the grate pleasure of been born in the 1970's. 1974 to be exact. We had Star Trek on every day. What more could a young fella ask for in 1977, I remember catching the bus with my father to watch Star Wars. If I recall correctly the dude in the black mask gave me some bad dreams.
Skip forward 3 years as father and son went to see the empire strike back. It was around this time at school where every kid was asking was Vader Luke's dad. It would fill up our every lunch time discussions until a kid said did you guys watch the show on Saturday morning. No we all said, so next weekend we all went round to Chrises house and had our minds blown away. There were epice space fights with robots. As a bunch of 7 years old kids we were hooked. We watched it on Saturday morning and played out our favourite scenes. In the play ground on Monday. We loved that show so much that serveral of us started whistling the theam song while playing the Apple //e game elite. ( one of the best challenging space trader games ever ). As kids tend to grow up so did we. We grew up on some pretty fantastic shows and would defend their honnor till death if need be.
Skip forward to 2003. We were so excited to see our favourite show brought back from its deep dark hole where it was sitting for the best part of 24 years.
We were so excited to see the mini series but we all hated it. It didn't live up to our expectations, yes we know that our expectations were outrageously set too high. So as a group we decided not to watch anymore episodes. Move on to 2013 at a boys night in the motel they just happened to be playing the 2003 mini series. We were all glued to the tube and spent the whole weekend binge watching. Being a bit older and wiser it was easier to accept the series as the excellent show it is and realise that as kids we only remember the good parts.
I hope the boys and girls are playing in the play ground after watching bsg the same type of game we were as kids.
Despite the initial reacton to the new series I have to admit this could be one of the best sci-fi shows ever. I would like to see a spin off series following another battlestar during one of the wars or maybe a tale of the 13 tribes. Either way give us more BSG please!!!!!!!!
