I seen it! I seen it! I seen the episode of the A Team with Face and the Cylon! Now I can die happy.
In other news, I have determined that the reason I don't like Lorne Green!Adama as much as Edward James Olmos!Adama (aside from the fact that EJO was in Miami Vice, and everyone who was in Miami Vice is about a million times cooler than everyone who wasn't in Miami Vice) is because Edward James Olmos!Adama actually uses Starbuck for stuff rather than having this pilot who kind of floats around when not being used as a sidekick or having adventures that result directly from their own stupidity.
It's like, that whole Count Iblis thing? And Adama and Apollo are tooling around with Operation Too Complicated To Actually Work, and Apollo ends up getting his dumb ass shot by a spooky space-pig (for something made in the seventies, that scene actually did shit me right up, though I suspect it was because it gave me Lord of the Flies flashbacks), when any sensible person would have realised that the best way to deal with a guy who can read thoughts is to send someone who has absolutely no thoughts to read whatsoever. It would be awesome! Because they'd all be there in the War Room and whatever, and it would be like:
Count Iblis: *mindread*
Adama!thoughts: *Operation Too Complicated To Actually Work*
Count Iblis: *mindread*
Apollo!thoughts: *missing pilots* :(
Count Iblis: *mindread*
Starbuck: ......
Count Iblis: *mindread*
Starbuck: ......
Count Iblis: *mindread*
Starbuck: ......
Count Iblis: ...fuck.
Stupid Fucking Robodog: Yap!
Apollo!thoughts: *hate*
And then Count Iblis would decide that Starbuck had some kind of super-advanced mental abilities ("He's not stupid, he's advanced!") and that it was too dangerous to bother tooling around on the Galactica anymore, and he would leave but totally kill Sheba first, because she's annoying, and everyone would be pleased, especially me.
