Rewatch! Commander Santa and aerobics witches! Slab Bulkhead and Back-From-The-Dead Susie! Apple II computer effects and stolen Battlestar Galactica footage! Calgon, take them away! Widely consider one of the best episodes, this South African production is hilariously strange. Previously

So, last year three ants started a first watch for the Battlestar Galactica miniseries, though it only got one episode in. I've just started rewatching the series and would love to talk about it. I was thinking about starting a regular rewatch club at around two episodes a week. Anyone interested? I would probably skip the miniseries (which I have already rewatched) and make the first post be for "33."
