I don't like the term "nerd". I prefer "geek".

Just watched it. Damn. This bodes well.

I was amazed by the awesome special effects! (like when Adama slams a glass of scotch in one gulp - how do they do that?)

I've actually done that a few times (not with single malt, I'm not a heathen)- it burns like a mutherfucker. I don't recommend it- unless of course you really want to get painfully drunk really fast, and hate your life at the moment.

Mdmf- the Final final season started last night- the last ten episodes. It was... damn. How many twists can even BSG toss into an episode?

Figures - I am a major Trekkie, and BSG fan, love Han Solo, and would trek with Frodo anyday. I have been on at work (sans TV) for another 2 weeks.

Ill have to see if I can stream the played episodes, and catch the rest on tv when i get home. Thanks

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bob May, who donned The Robot's suit in the hit 1960s television show Lost in Space, has died. He was 69.

May died Sunday of congestive heart failure at a hospital in Lancaster, said his daughter, Deborah May.

He was a veteran actor and stuntman who had appeared in movies, TV shows and on the vaudeville stage when he was tapped by Lost in Space creator Irwin Allen to play the Robinson family's loyal metal sidekick in the series that debuted in 1965.

"He always said he got the job because he fit in the robot suit," said June Lockhart, who played family matriarch Maureen Robinson. "It was one of those wonderful Hollywood stories. He just happened to be on the studio lot when someone saw him and sent him to see Irwin Allen about the part. Allen said, 'If you can fit in the suit, you've got the job."'

Although May didn't provide the robot's distinctive voice (that was done by announcer Dick Tufeld), he developed a following of fans who sought him out at memorabilia shows.
