Original Galactica recs
Sep. 17th, 2006 11:15 amI've added recs to my absolute Original Galactica favourites to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
telekis_vendiak. I apologize by the fans of the new show, but there were no recs for that one on the list.
I won't go into detail how much I was offended by the so-called "reimagined" show - those who know me know it already. There will be no divine intervention or unexpected miracle that could change my opinion about it, so let's not argue about the topic.
However, for those who'd like what great stories the original has inspired during the last 25 or so years, now can look them up attelekis_vendiak. Currently, all the links given there are working, I've checked every single one.
Oh, and by the way, I've acquired the entire original show on DVD a few months ago and re-watched it. Let me tell you: despite the occasional silly episode (and which show doesn't have those), it's still captivating.

I wish to God Richard Hatch had gotten the okay for his vision, The Second Coming! That would have been a worthy continuation of the original, with the Cylons finally showed according to Glen A. Larson's original idea (reptiles in armour rather than clumsy robots) and a lot of other things. But we weren't that lucky. I still grieve for the series that never was.
