Somewhere, there's a collection of scripts for the musicals my old elementary school's 4th and 5th graders would put on. They came up with great stuff, like their version of The Hobbit (inspired by the just aired animated movie). The final battle kills off the dwarfs to the music of "Ten Little Indians".

It's on the iTunes site, but not in the feed.

I think the reasoning is a) due to the reboot, the name is now known again, and b) the reboot burned itself out. So, if you're going to take advantage of the franchise, you start over again.

It's the fact it's Glen Larson again that has me interested (he lost TV rights to his creation, but kept the movie rights). A Galactica more in line with the original ideas would be interesting: Cylons who are actual aliens, for example. Their description in the novel, credited to both Larson and Robert Thurston:

“As far as Apollo could see there were Cylon warships, with their odd curves and arclike limbs. In one of the ships he could see the usual triad that composed a Cylon fighting crew. Two helmeted pilots sat side by side. Their tubular shaped helmets covered what Apollo knew from a closeup examination of Cylon corpses to be many-eyed creatures with heads that apparently could alter shape at will. In the center of the helmet was a long but narrow aperture from which emerged fine concentrated beams of light. No human had ever discovered whether the light was generated by the Cylons themselves or was some facet of the helmet's technology. ”

My problem was the two characters were identical, and I couldn't tell which one was Stokes.

A good episode, and I like the idea of the series. If The Cowboys doesn't get into the queue this way, I'll be very disappointed!

Just found out the next Rifftrax Live, July 10th, will be... Sharknado.

Life is good.

The first Turtle movie still captures the original comic the best.

I'd like to see him yanked from the film, and the original director of Brave put in charge. Just for my own amusement smile

He's at least doing the first script, which for a Pixar movie means nothing. Of all the Pixar movies, The Incredibles is the one that cries out the most for more. Hell, it would make a great TV series.
