Mormons in Space: the Return

Not that there's anything wrong with that. There have been a couple of other films that have arguably Mormon influences, though they seem to be mockeries. And the LDS seem to have their own movies, but those aren't meant for general audience, like Battlestar Galactica.

....

Western Socio-Religious Groups regularly get representation in film, so I've no objection (though some can be difficult to interpret). I guess it just seems odd, not what an unbeliever would expect from the LDS.

Starbuck a girl huh? I know a woman who likes to pretend she's Starbuck at Sci Fi conventions. She's very butch and would love some of that Casiopiea action.
In no way does this mean I admit to going to Sci Fi conventions!

I just hope they leave out that robotic dog monkey and that little kid with the bowl haircut.

What next, a remake of Buck Rogers or Land of The Lost?

I don't know about the kid, but the creator's said in an interview there is definetly NOT going to be a daggit.

They already did a Land of the Lost, didn't they. Saturday Mornings, five-to-ten years ago, Father, kids, rubber suited bad guys with glowing crystal set-things, and an SUV.

Last i saw of starbuck, he was male! and so was boomer. did they kill the originals of for good?
reimagine? if they mess this up, to quote a warcarft 3 character 'IT'S HAMMER TIME!'.

I suggest that we should learn that the Colonial race actually metamorphs from one sex to another as they mature, which would give a ground-breaking new use for "morphing" video technology. That way, as the series progresses to the point of the Cylon attack, the female pilots would have slowly morphed into the original actors.

I watched the original...as Geo says, it was OK for the time. Dykstra (or some similar spelling) was pulled in for special effects (or I could be wrong).

Last year at Dragn*Con, I think, there was a booth by Richard hatch (?), and several models of the ships for the new series. I think one of them was around 6 feet long.
