all i want is a robot dog

i am sure as many old fans (since i was five) might be upset with the new realities of the battlestar universe i am quite pleased with this show. the sci fi channel can really make some movies bad enough that roger corman is laughing all the way to the bank. after one mini series and two episodes my father is even impressed. hands down the best thing the sci fi channel has done since it aired the prisoner on a channel that isn't PBS. my only complaint so far regards boxey. where's muffet? where's boxey? i wouldn't want him to suffer from wesley crusher syndrome but boxey/muffet was an important part of the classic series.

Understood, but one of the things lost due to attrition from the original series seems to be "cuteness". And the only reason for Boxey and Moffat was "cute". They just didn't fit into the more serious and grave version. And which, if any of the current players, has the slightest parental instincts? I'm thinking NONE.

[morwen_peredhil]

Being utterly lacking in parental instincts, I don't miss the one and hope we don't see much of the other. The "cute factor" is not something I found particularly enjoyable even as a child, and I definitely don't want it now that I'm an adult. I can understand how others might feel differently, though.

Moffat was like a non-english speaking version of the biddy biddy biddy robot in Buck Rogers. Totally unnecessary in my opinion.

As for Boxey, I suppose his existence helped to solidify Apollo's dedication to all things good, but really, THIS series is a new animal. A deadly animal. No place for little kids. Hell, look what happened to...

Shit. I don't know yet what happened in which episode! D'OH!!!

and not to forget our love of the adorable R2-D2.

haha! When he took a laser blast to the head and flamed out, I cheered. :D

all i can say is i won't be standing in any lines for what ever movie comes next. i began laughing so hard at one point i had to leave the theater. funny how one lightsaber battle can sway the masses into thinking they actual just saw a good movie.

i would like to add that as a kid i always wondered what was happening on all've those other ships i'd see in the credits. it's nice to know that the show is not only focusing on the battlestar itself but on other colonial ships as well. even though the main focus has been on colonial one. but we have plenty of time for this show to grow into one of the best science fiction series since the x-files.

all've. *snicker*

[cupid-jungian.livejournal.com]

your name *sinker*

[ohmyhead.livejournal.com]

Sorry, man. You created a new contraction. Which is funny stuff. And your "sinker" is even funnier.

i am so tired. the president isn't the only person that makes up new words. i really like your name. i've been laughing about it all day ; - )

i have such vague memories of the show as a child and never was able to watch classic eppies because of work. moffat and not muffet. i think it could still fit into the show but most likely will be swept aside for the more grave version we are being presented with.

Boxey, is he a child?? B/c Boomer did bring a boy on to the ship, but so far he isn't anything other than background filler.

[morwen_peredhil]

Yep, that's Boxey, the boy with the horrid haircut.

[cupid-jungian.livejournal.com]

which is the exact same haircut that boxey had in the original show!

[morwen_peredhil]

And I can't tell you how grateful I am that the adult characters escaped having the same hair as those in the original show.

I'm afraid to rewatch the original as an adult, because I'm certain it would ruin my fond childhood memories. The original Starbuck was my Twue Wuv when I was seven. Sigh.

i am 27 now and i would sometimes catch a few old eppies when i'd call in sick to work. i still very much enjoyed the show unlike many movies i loved when i was a younger and watched later in life realizing how stupid they were even when i was a kid (i.e. all the cartoons i used to watch).

I want Muffet back, too. These are very creative people. I am sure they can find a way to make him dark and evil so he will fit into the world of the show.

[morwen_peredhil]

*snork* I guess they could make him a Cylon or something.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

I think he would have to be a Cylon. The humans on this show don't know much, but I think they've figured out that creating life forms that can think for themselves and act independantly probably isn't a good idea.

I still want my Muffet.
