Even the "Disco outfits" still seem to work for me.<br /><br />Really looking forward to this series!Timothy S.

There is a mythic quality to most of the lead characters, as there should be. Love the costumes.<br /><br />As far as I'm concerned, the "Chariots of the Gods?" interpretation is the best one for BSG: people from thousands of years ago passed along legends of Adama the first man, Apollo flying across the sky in his glowing chariot, Athena who knows things beyond the ken of mortal men, and so on. Students of antiquity could doubtless poke a brazilian holes in this interpretation (for example, Apollo wasn't the sun god until relatively recently), but it makes for a nice TV show all the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-16552490933815569082018-06-13T23:13:18.187-03:002018-06-13T23:13:18.187-03:00I can't miss what I ain't seen, so I'm...I can't miss what I ain't seen, so I'm in no hurry ol' boy!Brendoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913031340103600964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-61121138306730893902018-06-13T22:28:01.765-03:002018-06-13T22:28:01.765-03:00Obviously, if you're waiting for me to get to ...Obviously, if you're waiting for me to get to the new series, at this rate, it'll be half a year!Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-87975501025848910142018-06-13T21:45:15.009-03:002018-06-13T21:45:15.009-03:00That's intriguing to hear.

The modern BSG is darker, but more satisfying, more mysterious, more powerful.<br /><br />Brian: Well, I have no real motivation with the shows leading up to Justice League, and my friends Chris and Cindy at the Fire and Water Podcast Network have since started a podcast about that series, which I don't want to infringe on with a blog series.

(Dating was just suppin' at malt shops back in the 40's, right?)<br /><br />The downside of liking to remember kids stuff as it was, without retconning sex, edgy attitudes, intrigue and general soap opera into 'em, is that I've missed the NEW BSG altogether. Hopefully your reviews will enlighten me enough to change all that!<br /><br />(on kid's stuff...In case you haven't seen it the Justice League Action toon is A WHOLE LOT FUNNIER than the recent movie. Much more definitive in my view...) Brendoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913031340103600964noreply@blogger.com
