It seems clear that those actors who wish to save their show business careers have exerted pressure upon the production staff to have their characters written out of the series. Martin has died in a fool-hardy attack upon the lizard-queen, Diana. Robin's father bought the farm in a kami-kaze assault upon the Visitor's Death Star. The star-child, Elizabeth, gets my personal award for ingenuity. Using her amazing powers, she has undergone metamorphosis and forced this new bimbo into the role. What happened to the warbled voices of the Visitors ? Perhaps it was just laryngitis. Now that the Visitors have been around for a few years, why do they still bother to masquerade as humans ? Do they think they're fooling anyone ? I predict that in the final episode the lizards will be driven off the planet when Commander Adama and the Battlestar Ponderosa arrive after escaping the Cylon tyranny. But not before the return of the Jupiter II and Dr. Smith's attempt to join forces with the Visitors. Larry Johnson Western ElectricAT&T TechnologiesInformation Systems ihnp4!wnuxb!laj

Instead he would be duped (easily) by Diana into serving the visitor cause, but his bumbling would doom it to failure (even sooner than Diana's -- how many chances does she get?). Just as he would be about to be executed by the disgruntled visitors, Will and the robot (TV's best sf character) would bail him out (DANGER,DANGER). Finally, even after being in earth orbit for the whole show the Jupiter would manage to get lost again. For the required dose of tragedy and sacriface, maybe Diana could eat the Bloop.

Yes, I could picture Dr. Smith on a large platter with an apple in his
mouth, with Diana scraping knifes together (re: any Warner Brothers Looney
Tune cartoon with B. Bunny in a pot).
DS (voice obscured by apple): "My *dear* commander!"
Actually, I'd like to know where S.H.A.D.O. was during all of this...
