Galactica 1980/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Starbuck and his Cylon pal Cy get a few, in what may be the only decent Galactica 1980 episode.
    • When Cy is explaining why his Raider crashed, Starbuck jokingly asks if someone in the three-Cylon crew pulled out the manual. Cy (completely missing the mockery) confirms that they did, but it did not help. He goes on to show why flying a starfighter by committee doesn't work:

Cy: We were taking a vote when the ground came up and hit us.

    • Starbuck tells Cy that the (pregnant) human woman they've discovered is going to give birth to yet another human. His response?

Cy: I am rapidly being surrounded.

    • The humor is a bit darker, bordering on Fridge Horror, but... one almost has to laugh at the absurdity of it all when Starbuck's innocent question reveals that the Cylons haven't given any thought to what they're going to do once the universe is finally "organized."
