Mark and Michael take a look at the eighteenth episode of Battlestar Galactica (1978), "Murder on the Rising Star." From IMDB's description, "Starbuck is framed for murder of a sports rival. Apollo suspects Baltar but Adama agrees to charge Starbuck and try him for murder until Apollo can come up with some proof that he didn't do it."No, you didn't black out for two months and miss 8 episodes of Deja Reviewed. NBC.com, for some reason, refuses to show episode 10, and we hadn't yet realized that Tubi has BSG on it. We improvised and jumped ahead based on a listener suggestion to try an episode with the characters playing Triad.If you'd like to watch the episode prior to listening to our breakdown, it can be found here (NOT an NBC.com link).Here are some things we mention during the episode:This week’s episode is essentially Law & Order: BSG. Of note: the original Law & Order ran for 20 seasons from 1990 through 2010. The spinoff series, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, started in 1999 and is still going. Law & Order: Organized Crime just launched. We definitely don't need this much Law & Order, frankly.Follow-up notes on our Justice League episode from two episodes prior:Now that Mark has sat through BOTH versions of Justice League, he confirms that the four-hour-plus Zach Snyder’s Justice League is significantly better than the original. He will not, however commit to recommending either. If you’re interested in the role of a director and how having--or not having--a “vision” makes a difference, he thinks watching the two and comparing them is invaluable. Both are currently streaming on HBO Max. Danny Elfman’s score from the Whedon Justice League was axed, much to Michael's dismay. If you’re in the mood for some Elfman scores, we recommend 1989’s Batman score or 1994’s Edward Scissorhands score.  Also, if you didn’t know, he wrote the theme music for The Simpsons.Mark thought Snyder’s version was going to go more The Dark Knight Returns version of Batman. Turns out, he was wrong, but the original Frank Miller graphic novel is still HIGHLY recommended as one of the seminal takes on Batman. Want more on Tenet and how/why you can’t hear the dialogue? Mark, who studies film sound professionally and has written extensively on it, gave his take on the Tenet sound mix on Twitter back when the movie came out.There’s probably a happy medium in filmmaking between “too complicated for your own good” (Tenet) and “didn’t anyone who had taken elementary school-level science look at this script before they made it?” (Chain Reaction, The Saint)How many ways are there to arrange 6 notecards? 6!, or 6x5x4x3x2x1, which equals 720. MICHAEL'S NOTE: No, I didn't do the math in my head, but I did know this equation in the episode without looking it up.We couldn’t figure out the rules of Triad just from the episode. However, someone at the Battlestar Wiki has done their homework.More love for Futurama, this time in the context of sports:In “Time Keeps On Slippin’,” the Planet Express crew and Farnsworth’s “super mutants” hold a big lead against the Globetrotters with two minutes left in a basketball game, but Fry somehow manages to make them lose anyway."A Leela of Her Own” introduces the game of “blernsball,” which is similar to baseball except the ball is on an elastic band that keeps it always in play. We talked about Minority Report several times last season in the context of Philip K. Dick and The Twilight Zone, but Michael pulls a great deep cut here referencing the movie’s “orgy of evidence.”Voice immodulation syndrome is a real thing, at least according to Will Ferrell’s recurring SNL character Jacob Silj.Shout out to Lyman Ward, a.k.a. Karibdis but better known as Ferris Bueller’s dad. MARK'S NOTE: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is in Mark’s top ten favorite movies of all time. MICHAEL'S NOTE: I'm from Chicago and ostensibly a Cubs fan, and even I think that's an insane choice for a top-ten.“The Expanse” book series by James S.A. Corey (8 novels thus far starting with 2011’s Leviathan Wakes, and the 9th, Leviathan Falls, due later this year) is, as Mark thought, now a TV series – but he was wrong about it being on Netflix. It’s on Amazon Prime, with the first three seasons originally airing on Syfy and the two since (plus season 6, currently in production) being made as Prime originals.We’re going on a post-season hiatus, but will be back for Season 3 of Deja Reviewed.
