- I watch "Galactica" every night, and I am kinda glad they shorten them.
- Most of the scenes you are missing were terrible. As for your
- specific example, I don't recall ever seeing that footage when it was first
- shown on ABC, but I do remember wondering about it. I don;'t think it was
- ever there.
-
- "Quantum Leap" is modern and has room for high volume commercials. Galactica
- is more than 12 years old and does not. Wouldn't be any better on any of
- the local independants around here.

- PS: Are we bitching specifically at the Sci Fi channel for this? I don't think
- anybody else out there would show them at all, let alone cut less out of it.
- Think TBS is some sort of saint or something?
