	The last regular episode of BG was entitled, "The Hand
of God", and there's nothing really special about it, i.e.
nothing that stands out to say that this is the final episode.
	Anyway the Galactica's travelling along, only to find a
Cylon Base Ship in its path.  Tired of running away, the
Commander and company devise a plan to destroy it.  Using
Baltar's captured Cylon ship, and info from Baltar himself (in
exchange for his freedom), Apollo and Starbuck sneak aboard the
baseship and knock out its sensors, allowing a sneak attack and
the destruction of the Cylon ship.
	A minor subplot involves Apollo taking his friends to
the last of the old-style radio receiver domes aboard the
Galactica.  At the beginning of the episode, Apollo records a
mysterious transmission (Moon landing stuff), but the recording
is destroyed during the fighting.  The episode ends with Apollo
leaving the dome, and having the unattended receiver picking up
more moon landing footage.
	The question I have to ask is that since Galactica 1980
takes place in 1980, BG couldn't have taken place more than 11
years before that time, even assuming that they were right on
top of Earth and that the Galactica's crew experienced no
relativistic time-slowing effects.  Oh, well.

Oh, this is going to open an ugly door.  I may as well get my say in before
the flood starts.

Whether or not Al sees Sam seems to depend heavily on which episode you're
watching.  In "What Price, Gloria?", Al certainly sees Samantha.

In later episodes (Nowhere To Run, and Pool Hall Blues come to mind), Al
evidently sees Sam as Sam and the leapee as the leapee.  

I've personally solved this discontinuity, in my own mind, like this:  
The folks at PQL have realized that it can be detrimental to Al's mental
stability seeing Sam surrounded by another person's physical aura, so
after the events of What Price, Gloria?  (maybe even duiring the waiting
period between leaps), the program was altered so that Al could now see
Sam as Sam.  There's no "real" proof of that, except for the fact that
there is a sharp division between earlier episodes where Al sees Sam as
the host, and later episodes, where he sees Sam as Sam.

All IMHO.

[possible spoilers if you haven't seen TimeTrax yet]




























Well, I wouldn't say the *only* thing.  For example, Selma did remind me a
little of Ziggy (actually, more than a little).  Both have female voices,
somewhat similar "person"alities (although Selma seems to be more of a 
mother-type; they both get jealous, etc) complete with egos.  Further, in
both instances, the main character has a holographic companion (I like the
fact that Selma is transparent -- reminds you that she is really a computer
projection.  Nice contrast to Al, who appears solid (I assume due to the
neural link), which conveys more of his humanity, as Sam's friend and 
confidant).  Finally, in both instances our heroes go back in time to
change things for the better.  The difference is that Sam "puts right
what once went wrong" on a personal basis, whereas in TimeTrax, the purpose
is to put right what will go wrong eventually for just about *every*one 
if the criminals aren't returned to their own time for punishment.

BTW, I wonder what would happen if one of the future baddies were to be
caught by the 1993 police, then incarcerated and sent to jail.  I guess
with some of them in high places with connections, she or he would 
probably get off easy (or something like that).

I guess, one big difference is that TimeTrax appears to be more action
oriented (like a cop show), while Quantum Leap focuses more on the 
interpersonal relationships or personal drama of the characters.

In all, i did like TimeTrax, although I want to wait for future episodes
before I make a definitive judgment.  I do find it interesting, however,
that I find the show *alot* more interesting than DS9, considering that
Harve Bennet is the main force behind TT.  It seems that after he severed
his ties with the Star Trek group, he came up with a much more interesting
series (IMHO) than they did.

Just my $.02,

mtr

I find it difficult to believe that in 2193 (or whenever) people
who want to read 1993 newspapers will be allowed to check out yellowed
old actual PAPER copies.  Most libraries now keep old periodicals on
microfilm or microfiche.  Surely in a world with credit card sized

For a couple brief, shining months this summer, PBS out of Durham NH played
it...then, no more.  When they're ever going to rerun the 3-4 years they
showed, or even better, show an expanded run now that more episodes are
available...who knows???

Other parts of the country run it continually, but not in New England...
It has its own alt group, even.

I don't know how funny this reads, but you must *see* it.

Anyone know if the cable SF channel does anything on this score?

From: <JW83HISW@MIAMIU.BITNET>
Date: Friday, 22 Jan 1993 11:34:27 EST
Organization: Miami University - Academic Computer Service

  First off, I like Space Rangers.  It's a fun show, with plenty of
action and little of the preachy pretension that marks too much SF on
television these days.

  The 3rd epsiode (1/20) followed in this vein: it was as action -
packed as the second episode.  The film work was good, with excellent
use of lighting.  Another thing I liked was that while the alien Prince
was portrayed as a sybaritic fop, he was also a tremendous fighter.  I
thought it a nice touch, somthing a little different in terms of
characterization.  The fight sequence was also excellent, with both
good stunt work and directing.

  Basically, Space Rangers is a lot of fun to watch.  The pilot _was_
a bad episode, but it did a good job of introducing the characters.  The
second episode was very well filmed, action packed, tense, and had very
intriguing aliens.  The third ep. continued in this pattern.  With luck,
the next three episodes will be just as good and this show will be
picked up as a full time member of CBS's line-up.

  Finally, does anyone out there (besides me) find that this show reminds
you of the Japanese anime series called Thunderbirds: 2086?  It was a
show about a para-military type rescue team called the Thunderbirds, who
had lots of really wild and fun adventures on and off 21st century Earth.
That show always made a big deal of the launch of the teams' vehicles,
much like Space Rangers.  Anybody else remember Thunderbirds: 2086?  It
was shown on Showtime in the afternoons for a while.

Actually, in How the Tess Was Won, we find out that Tina did run off with 
Gooshie for a time.  But you're right, that doesn't mean Al shouldn't love
her, and besides, we find out at the end of that episode that she only did it
to make Al jealous.

In the UK, we have Red Dwarf on network TV (when the powers that be bestow
it upon us, and the BBC have also released series II - IV (maybe V?) on 
video. I have no idea whether or not these are available where you are but
if you liked the books, I strongly advise you to buy the vids. They are
very funny.

 I am pretty damn sure there were 65 episodes.  They aired during the 
   1986-87 season.

 Also, I remember reading somewhere that some major cable network (not the
 Cartoon Network or Sci-Fi Channel, but someone I can't remember) bought the
syndication rights of GR and is currently planning to air all episodes
as part of a new cartoon line-up.  I'm trying to find the article now and will
get back to you guys as soon as I can.

Personally, I thought the show kicked butt.

My theory for the above questions. The drug was originally made for
teleportation. Sepp licked the envelope and teleported back to the doctor. The
doctor then gave him another dose and Sepp used the machine in combination
with the drug to go to 1993. They need the drug and machine to travel in time
and just the drug for teleportation. This also explains that Sepp had already
had two doses.
