Battlestar Galactica old skool

Hulu recently posted the first twenty-four episodes of the original Battlestar Galactica. This show is almost as old as me! The series first aired in September of 1978, only a few months after I was born. TV is so much smarter and thoughtful these days (with the exception of Star Trek TNG of course!), so it's been a blast to watch scifi from the 70s. While the plot lines and special effects have gotten better in today's scifi, it's also been great to see that some things remain the same. In Star Trek, there's an instantaneous language translator, and I just noticed that the BSG warriors carry a "Languatron" for translation purposes too. :-)
