A Remake of a Classic submitted by 0liviap0pp on July 4, 2014, 9:05pm A purely classic sci-fi TV show remade as a motion picture? Rather odd to all geeks of the genre, but nevertheless better than expected. It's tough to fit all of the material into a film, especially in the late 70s. They tried; I would recommend the actual series.

A movie version of the TV pilot submitted by shumoon on August 10, 2014, 7:54am This movie version of the classic TV series pilot episode. It was packaged for distribution in cinemas overseas as the TV series was not envisioned to be distributed outside the United States. Stu Phillips also was also behind the "Buck Rogers" TV series. How I wish we could have both the classic "Battlestar Galactica" series and "Buck Rogers" added to the library's collection!
