Well, just watched the pilot again on USA network.  And, oddly enough
missed the first 10 minutes *AGAIN* :-(  (but that's my problem and
not relevant...)

I was wondering if anyone with a good memory or a tape of the original
airing can comment on any editing done to make more time for commercials.
It seems to me some things were missing.

Semi-spoilers follow...













When Peg says to Sam "You haven't spent this much time with Mikey since
he was hit by the bus", wasn't that a setup?  My recollection is that
this was a trick question, and that later in the episode she tells him this
and they have somewhat of a conversation about him really being Sam, not
Tom.  Am I loopy?

Also, (less certain here) wasn't there some explanation about why saving
the baby was the key to Sam's leaping out?

Things we (my wife and I) noticed: Sam never said "Oh boy!".
 The door out of the imaging chamber is "manual".
 No Handlink at first, and then a subtle one (no blinken lights).
 Al's trademark cigar (yuck IMHO BTW) missing at first.  Due to his hangover?
 Nice consistency with his father's death, where he grew up etc.  I
 was expecting to see some things that clashed with later events or
 explanations as the show has progressed through the years.  I noticed
 nothing major...

Back in the late seventies when Battlestar Galactica was being aired on

actually do find Earth.  Does anyone else remember this?  Or am I just looney
(to steal someone out there's words)?  Every once in a while, a local station
here will re-air the entire series, except for those final episodes.

Any info will be appreciated,

You're thinking of Bob Kane (with a Kane acknowledged assist from Bill
Finger).  Of course, Batman can be lightened up (they did it in the 60's).
At least it is too late to lighten up the animated series for this season
(most of the 65 episodes have to be in the can or else too far along for
such a major mood change).

a BG movie, (which would totally ignor Galactica XX), but Dirk is

Hatch is also considering a BG 15th year anniversay con, probably in

For those of you who don't frequent rec.arts.drwho:

Tomb of the Cybermen was recovered early this year, found in a Hong Kong TV
stations archives.  BBC Video released it on home video in the U.K. in
May and BBC Enterprises has offered it to US PBS stations, some of whom have
aired it last month during their pledge drives.  "Tomb" will be released
on home video in the U.S. in early October, along with a tape of the
unfinished Doctor Who story, "Shada", for which BBC Video have taken the
parts of the story that were filmed, added special effects and music, and
then had Tom Baker fill in the storyline gaps.  There is also a "Pertwee
Years" tape being released then, which has the last episode of three 
Pertwee stories as well as interview clips and such.

It is nice to see that this time around the animators decided to keep 
with the intentions of the character.  A Comics Scene article on the show
said that they have had to go up against the Standards and Practices
people many times but that they are being reasonable in trying to keep
the show more realistic.  (One of the producers worked on the Super Friend
series and there they were unable to show punches being thrown.)  They
are quite happy with the Fox Standards and Practices people (compared to
what they could have to deal with).

Weeell, funny you should mention this, Mark.

At the QL con, a bunch of fans were standing around with Don and
someone asked something about getting a copy of some old ep. Don
recommended that they wait till the USA syndication. I automatically
grumbled, "Yeah, but they'll _cut_ the hell out of it." Don looked at
me very surprised and horribly offended and said, "They *can't*!
There's nothing to cut!" as if he was morally repulsed and amazed at
the very thought that anyone would DARE mess with his baby. I looked
up [I do mean _up_; Don's a foot taller than I am and had pulled
himself up to his full height] and said, "They always cut
*everything*!  They've cut your stuff before, they cut 'Airwolf' and
'Gold Monkey', and everytime they cycle through, they cut a little
more out, and..."  I sorta trailed off here 'cause Don started glaring
as if he were personally going to strangle the entire USA network and he
muttered/threatened darkly, "They'd *better* not cut it."

Let me tell you, had the USA programmers seen that look, they would not
have dared to touch it, 'cause *I* was quaking in my tennies, and Don
had just hugged me and called me 'sweetheart' 10 minutes earlier....

I suspect any seismic disturbances in LA this week will be Mr.
Bellisario giving USA a piece of his mind -- wear a helmet if you're
near Universal! :-)

In addition, to try to kill Avon would be dangerous and even foolish.  Avon
is much better at defending himself than Vila is at attacking, and I believe
he would kill Vila easily in such a fight.  And once the two of them made
it back to the Scorpio, Vila was not in any immediate threat of attack by
Avon-- Avon would not kill Vila unless his own safety was in jeopardy.  So I
think that the most intelligent action for Vila to take, and the most fitting
of his character, would be to act more or less normally until there is an
oppurtunity to desert the Scorpio safely (with the major threat being the
Federation, not Avon).  Unfortunately for Vila, I don't think any good
opportunities materialized before the final episode.

Not quite.  Two others were referred to by their last names:
	Olag Gan (the spelling of the first name might be off, only
		 heard it once in Bounty, I believe)
	Del Tarrant

I also am unaware of Cally or Soolin ever being called by any longer
name, and so it is possible that these also are last names (or first
names, or they only had the one name in which case its both).

I agree, Catwoman was very well done and without giving it away, I must say
I think the motivation behind her in the cartoon was really neat.  An ominous
rumor has surfaced though.  A TV critic in my hometown paper has made the
claim that Fox will be lightening up the tone in the future to make it more
suitable for children.  I'll be seriously PO'ed if they do...
