Sometime in the past, some nut has said to his wife, 'Honey, I think I'm gonna go sit in the fireplace to shave.'" Or the new warning on a tube of Preparation H. "Use only as directed." "Do you know what this means? Some nut has said to his wife, 'Honey, I wonder how this would taste on crackers?'" 😂 They're all in the James Gregory playlist below if you want to have a good laugh.

Then the Romulans would show up to save Earth, as they don't mess with silly negotiations or allow androids in command positions. And the people of Earth say goodbye to all that democracy and stuff, and welcome rule by the Romulan Star Empire. "If only we'd allowed the veterans to seize control, and set up a Citizen's Federation." ... Oops. Jumped universes.

Starfleet would have had a little trouble with the raiders. The raiders lasers couldn't do much to the shields but the starships would have a problem destroying the raiders. The raiders would be more maneuverable and doge the phasers or photon torpedoes. The bas4e stars would be easier to destroy. They would need to launch the attack sleds to destroy the raiders.

But Starfleet has not only long-range detection but also warp technology, neither of which the Cylons have. The Cylons would be picked up long before they even reached Earth, probably even before they hit the solar system. And once their hostile intentions are confirmed, Starfleet would be all over them like white on rice. The raiders might prove a problem against Federation cruisers, but not much of one and not for long, with ship after ship suddenly turning up out of nowhere to join the fight. Meanwhile, the unshielded base ships would be cut to pieces by the fleet. Patrick MacCylon would almost certainly find his "final annihilation of the lifeform known as Man" proclamation premature, to say the least.

The Cylons ability to hit humans is matched only by Stormtroopers.

Remember, this was in the 1980s. It would be sixteen years before Jeff Goldblum would have the wicked computer skills to make the "toasters" toast. But on the serious side, while bad, the series "Galactica 1980" did introduce the idea of Cylon "skinjobs", and the fatal flaw to the Centurion models. Armed with the fact that the Centurions are susceptible to microwave radiation, all the Earth would have had to do was turn all of it's microwave transmitters skyward at full power, problem solved, Galactica makes First Contact.

Ironically, Jeff Goldblum had a show, debuting after this. Like this, it only lasted one season. It was called "Tenspeed and Brownshoe".

Thing is... the Cylons did reach Earth (two specifically), and that Centurian took a short walk of a tall building. Knight Industries found that Centurian, retro-engineered it and made first KARR and then KITT. It fits. I presue the human form commander just got up and walked away or something like that.

Really? You don't say.

You've made sense of something that always puzzled me... what on Earth do the Imperius Leadet, Baltar and Lucifer do all day sat atop that podium when no one pops in for a chat? Turning the back wall into a screen was a great idea.

They wouldn't have counted Pluto as a planet for sure.

I like how there's a major attack on LA and people are running for their lives, and the drivers are like "meh, let's keep driving. traffic finally cleared up"

Those nuclear scenes look like it was borrowed from the tv series The Day After.

They were.

Nice melding of scenes from "Earthquake" and "The Day After."

Good eye. Everything about Galatica 1980 was C H E A P. That's the only way he got a second season. From Mike Brady to Kawasaki Ninjas with extra fairings to officer Reed as protagonist. The Starbuck, enemy mine episode of Mormon mythology of the starchild from celestial Eve was the only good episode that year.

@@STho205 Robert Reed was actually good in this. I was surprised. The Starbuck episode was originally planned for the first season. Explains why it is so good in this sea of muck.

@@sarahwolf6754 Robert Reed was a very basic good actor. See "The Defenders 60-65" and "Mannix 68-70". He got type cast due to Mike Brady as he got a bit goofier and charactured as the series went on. He did a good Movie of the Week with Shatner and some other name actors for men in a mid life bucket list desert motorcycle trip. Then he did "Medical Center" as a transsexual surgeon....and that was about it for his career till Larson hired him for this.

@@sarahwolf6754 I think they filmed the Starchild Enemy Mine episode the year before, UT didn't have it edit or post production ready. They tied it into the Cousin Oliver character backstory in G 1980.

@ 5:30 iand 5:45 s that from "the Day After" ? Most of it seems to be from the movie Earthquake.

I remember when Mr. Man thought he could push Picard and Riker around and make off with that ancient Vulcan weapon. It didn’t work out real well for him🖖

To think I once thought this the best sci fy around. The rehash after rehash. At least the producers learnt

That would be cool if they had put all that in Galactica 1980. I think their ratings would go up

How did the Galactica get footage from inside the Cylon Base Star?

Cool!!!!!

No doubt about it

No way a laser would take out a news paper stand, their build really tough
