Or when an alien spaceship crash-landed on a remote island in the Pacific in 1999...Or when a rogue planet passed between the Earth and the moon in 1994, cracking the moon and causing great changes...In the openning credits to the old Buck Rogers television show, the narrator says...
"...The year is 1987, and Nasa launches the last of America's DEEP SPACE PROBES..."
..On which Captain William Buck Rogers was the LONE astronaut!! LOL!!

To such an obscure ROBOTECH reference, all I can say is . . .
that a "Killroy was here" was found in the crawlspace of the vessel.
LOL! That Kilroy sure does get around, doesn't he?
Ouch!B.T.W.: Which edition of "Core Rules Books" are you slamming? :)
Now see, this is exactly what I was talking about on a different thread. Why does every jest have to become a "slamming" offense?
All of them! NOne of them! Smell that? that's sarcasm

Who're you little bastards callin old?

I still use Frak at work. :-)
Speaking of work and old geeks. I've a plastic skull at my desk. I named him Yorik. Half my co workers don't get it.
I'd call them Philistines, but they'd complain they're not from Phillidelphia...
Oh, god... I was on the track team in high school, and we all had these t-shirts that said "TENACITY" on the back.
People kept asking us where "Tena City" was.

The real question is . . . "Did they keep at it?"

Thank you, folks, we'll be here all night!
WoW, even this thread is old.
Now I really feel old.
Me and my boss were talking about something. When, at the end of the conversation, he asked me to keep the subject quiet, I told him that only three people shared the secret: "Me, the secretary, and Orko."
... He had the weirdest look on his face. lol

I am not even out of High school and I understand what most of you were talking about...
And to clarify, I was a fan of Green Hornet before the new movie came out. The new movie wasn't that good, really.
I was playing Society here in CO, and we were playing a module and we told someone to leave. I said "Go have some coffee with cream or something!" and our GM (The all mighty JP) said it as well, but with a confused look on his face. I was ashamed that I was the only one at the table who understood that joke, and it's pretty new compared to what they knew/know!
I don't remember who that is, and I'm older than you.

He's the pre-generated character that inspired the worst 6th level spell in D&D history.
A guy made me feel rather old yesterday when he showed my his Magic cards and I didn't understood a think of the card's abilities...
BTW, planewalker cards are soooooooooo FTW, now I'd like to try MTG again... the HORROR!

Just got back into it myself after a 7-year break. I started playing in the late '90s, and most of my older cards are either useless or require more finesse than when originally released. F%#%ing power creep.
Also, by the end of the current decade, I will be thirty-four years old. Terrifying.
Ugh... I'm going to be 29 this year. I'm going to be sooooooo old.
Ugh... I'm going to be 29 this year. I'm going to be sooooooo old.I'm tempted to fly up there and kick your a$$ now ;)
I was once told that I was old when I was 23...

By the end of summer, I'll be four decades old. Stop worrying about it. The only time it's worth worrying about getting older is when you've been told it isn't going to happen. Even then, it's not really worth worrying about...
Also, get off my lawn :)
You all are still just young whippersnappers.

It's not my fault I'm old. If i could stop aging I would. :P

Who remembers that Armin Shimerman was not the first actor to play a character named "Quark" in a science fiction television series?

I do!!! Starred Richard Benjamin. "Star Wars" launched a thousand bad television scifi shows that showed up, realized they weren't wanted, and left. Remember "Salvage One" with Andy Griffith?

You can find bits of episodes of Quark on Youtube. Its humor really hasn't aged well.

I totally remember "Quark" on TV when I was a kid. I remember being disappointed when it was cancelled, although from the clips I've seen in recent years it... wasn't good.
Anyone remember "Galactica 1980"?

I don't know what you are talking about. There is only one Galactica, Battlestar Galactica, a television series from the 80s.

You and I are consistently either completely-in-sync agreement or diametrically opposed on entertainment properties.
Edit: We'd be the Siskel Sisko & Ebert Q*bert of reviewers.

80s70s.
(fixed it for you)
Even at 11, and as a HUGE sci-fi fan, I recognized Galactica 1980 was just... not good.
Everything I know about Battlestar Galactica I learned from Robot Chicken.
And the four episodes I watched when I was really stoned twenty years ago.
I have a friend who did not like the original "Battlestar Galactica" series but absolutely LOVED "Galactica 1980". I still don't get it.

Well, there's no accounting for taste.
A few years ago, I re-watched the entire run of the 1970s Battlestar Galactica. For the most part, I think it aged surprisingly well.
And I still have never watched the '00s reboot of the series!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I watched all but the last season of the reboot. It was around that time I learned that I've just become tired of television. Shows that I would normally watch religiously never get a glance from me now. I can barely watch a movie all the way through anymore. I watched "Star Trek: Discovery" and eventually stopped in its third season, but I have managed to watch "The Mandalorian" all the way through. The same with "Wandavision". I really enjoyed the premier episode of "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" and it's a six episode series, so maybe I'll finish it out, too.

I am not old. At this point ancient is more like it. The Jacksonville Florida Science and History Museum has a toy and game exhibit. It was sad seeing just how many old games and toys that I remember. I have no idea when I became old but it happened. ~grumbles about these young whipper snappers and their fancy phones~
I work in higher ed, on the administrative side of the house (i.e. I'm not a professor). I've been working in higher ed more-or-less since I was out of college myself.
Let's just say it's been interesting transitioning from being roughly the age of the students, to being roughly the age of the parents of the students, to being older than the parents of the students.
It's also been... interesting... to learn that nearly all of the professors from when I was in school have either since retired or died...
I vaguely remember watching the original BSG episodes rerun on the SciFi or USA channel as a kid. Even then, it looked cheap and felt hokey. I consider the BSG reboot the far far superior show, even the weak parts of season 3 & 4 and the underwhelming cliched finale.
