You know what's scary? It's entirely likely that, some time in the '70s, a very involved, passionate debate was held between two (or possibly more) fans over which show was better: Space: 1999 or the original Battlestar Galactica.

This debate may have gone so far as to start a fistfight.

I am actually more delighted than scared by this idea.

edit: of course, who's to say it was just one argument? Maybe it was a man and a woman (forgive my heteronormatism) who simply found their debate drawing themselves closer and closer until they find themselves together and together they stay until this day. And even though she gets a slight smirk everytime Ron Moore's little show comes on, they're happy together.

I want to know when Ron Moore's Space: 1999 show starts.

...what?

I'd have to argue Space: 1999 was the better show. BSG was too disco for me. Of course Galactica: 1980 killed any love I had for the old series.

Wouldn't the real debate be which one was worse?

Well, the Special Effects from Space: 1999 impressed George Lucas, as he is rumoured to have shown some explosion from the S:1999 and said that he wanted his to be better, as he considered the them to be the best looking space explosions. And the Eagle is one of the best intra-orbit space vehicle designs ever...but for non-atmospheric travel!

The first rule of Fan Club is that you don't talk about Fan Club.

(Furthermore, Rolin Hand would've beat the stuffing out of Ben Cartwright and every other punk at the Ponderosa).

Not that it matters, as Blake 7 is clearly better than both of them.
