Mary McDonnell in the show, and no BSG references?, what the frak? ;)

Didn't Space Mutiny establish that the guys just don't do Battlestar Galactica references?   Anyway, if there's any type of Riff that's a complete non-joke, it's "Hey, that person was so-and-so in a different movie" references.

Well, she's the presidents wife in this movie, she's the president in BSG.  There's a bit more of an opening for a joke looking at it that way.

I haven't purchased this Riff Trax yet, and I really would love to but I don't own a copy of Independance Day, but were there and Dances with Wolves jabs at all in there?

Well there was certainly at least one reference, not necessarily a jab though.

Didn't stop them from mentioning "Stands With A Fist"!   (Dances with Wolves)

That movie is part of the "everyday culture".  BSG is a cult favorite.

It's also on The Sci-Fi Channel.  Maybe they finally realized what a raw deal they really got over there and don't want to promote them.

Gah! Dont ever post that again! Once you've seen the video you will never be able to get it out of your head.

Shoot, it's been stuck in my head since I heard Mike recite it on his podcast.

A late reply...

That's not actually the case. While the guys may not have made riffs about the actual BG, they have done a couple of riffs referring to an event where a fan of the show drove his motorcycle off a bridge because the original Battlestar Galactica got cancelled.

Damn.  Well I love the new BSG...and next year is their final season...good thing I don't have a motorcycle.

Dang, here I am innocently reading and someone had to go a put that darn shnappi song into my head... <kirk voice>SHNAAAAAAAPPIIII</kirk voice>

Been waiting for ID4 to come out on in .riff format but couldn't wait any longer, finally watched it last night, I'm not surprised at the lack of a BSG reference, if you listen to the "data" reference they did that so quietly it seemed like they were embarrassed by it.

Also "stands with fist" is a much better joke than "president of the fleet/former colonies/whatever they call themselves in the fleet".
