Author: Brian Brushwood September 24, 2026 Duration: 19:40

Tom and Brian board the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica for “Saga of a Star World,” where sweeping space battles give way to disco, bug men, and a surprisingly grim survival story. They debate the marathon premiere’s uneven pacing, compare it with the reboot, and inspect everything from Cylon eyes to the unexpected performer inside Muffit.
