The Super Scouts Redux

If there was any hope for Galactica 1980 in the pilot, it was dashed to pieces with the Super Scouts.

Mindful of the network's insistence the show be made more "kid friendly", they added a gaggle of children to the show and gave them super powers. After all, what kid would not want to turn invisible,leap over tall trees, and be smarter than the average bear? The problem is, kids didn't watch the show. And neither did adults, apparently.

Continuing on our course to see if any of the episodes can be saved, I present to you The Super Scouts, part one, with the following changes:

Inane Dialogue Reduced - Why does every Galactican kid (and many adults) talk as if their dialogue was written by a computer? Still, I've managed to remove the most skin-crawling examples.

Dr. Zee Zeroed Out - Even Robbie Rist apparently couldn't stand the role, and he was changed out for Patrick Stewart. Of course, not THE Patrick Stewart. A better casting decision would have been simply that white light alone.

The Super Scouts Unsupersized - Well, there was no way to eliminate them altogether, and some of them are actually quite cute. They are much more tolerable without the big "S" on their chests.

Cool! Just watched part 1. Any of those kids that can be edited out the better. Good job! Actually this episode was a bit of a tease for me, as it did start with some decent action, and then turned into the superscouts. Looking forward to what you do in the rest.

I know what you mean. Unfortunately, in the end, it still is Galactica 1980

Re: The Super Scouts Redux

You've made this actually watchable. Great job, especially considering the material you have to work with.
