Back when it first aired in the '70s, I was just a kid. I was a fan though, and I even had an Eagle ship, and it was massive. I no doubt missed a lot of the moral and philosophical questions they raised, so I'm hoping to glean more out of it this time. I'm as seeing its flaws, with the writing being almost comical in spots. Still, it's solid, and they were great at establishing a weird vibe for the show.
