I saw it "live" as well. It left an indelible impact and impression on this Sci-Fi afficionado. Approximately 40 years to the exact time that this amazing show first aired.

... YIKES!!! Now I really DO feel old...

I also appreciate and thank Darrell (and others) for resurrecting Fleets again in time for this most auspicious occasion. Words could not adequately describe the joy and surprise when I was able to access something I thought was forever lost.
I shall raise a chalice in honor of the show, the cast & crew and, most important of all, to the wonderful people that were brought together at sites like this to revel and reminisce in the show they share a common love for.
Since joining Fleets, I have met some truly awesome friends. Some I have actually met in person but most I have met only through Fleets. Truly a unique and wonderful group here. We all come from different backgrounds and different interests, yet we all share a common thread. A love for a television show that touched us all in a rather profound way. Pretty amazing.
Battlestar Galactica... it survives.
