...Or Rattletrap Galactica, ad nausium...
Hey, it wasn't *that* bad. I thought several of the segments
showed some real imagination. Two things killed the show for
me: Budget problems, which with Larson means 'use the same
film over and over and...'. It didn't work for Irwin Allen,
and it really detracted from the show. The other serious mistake
was 'Galactica 1980'. Ugh. Casting, plots... There was exactly
one passable segment. Larson should have either let Galactica
die a noble death, or took up the story in the FAR future, (say
4 generations) with a completely new cast and MORE MONEY!
The plot still has possibilities, with the right touch...
Now, Buck Rogers and (by the way) Knight Rider, are quite a different
story. Retch! Gag!
