Why I Loved StarCom (part 1)
Ever since I discovered the entire series is up on YouTube, I’ve been putting together what I call a “snarkopsis” (snarky synopsis) for each episode and adding them to my StarCom lens on Squidoo. For instance:



Ah, Jupiter-home to bright skies and some sort of floating jellyfish things imaginatively called “airwhales.” Two floating research stations have been built to study these creatures, and the kindhearted Col. James “Dash” Derringer can’t wait to ditch his mother, Amanda, and younger sister, Lianna at one of the doomed stations. (Oops, did I say “doomed”?)
And to think, the series didn’t last more than one season!
But seriously, check it out (even if only for some laughs).

Dude, I have the pilot episode on VHS somewhere in the attic.

Well, thanks to YouTube (and a nifty li’l program called iSquint) I have it on my iPod!
That’s cool that you have it, though! I swear, it seems like only a few dozen people remember ever seeing the thing. Makes me happy that my Squidoo lens is up to #10 in their Movies and TV category. I would so love to see a StarCom revival!

Maybe on Sci-Fi.
They could go all Battlestar Galactica on it.
Hey, you ever have the toys? They were motorized and magnetized. Very, very cool.

What, you didn’t actually visit the Squidoo lens? :p
You’ll just have to go there and find out for yourself.

Ah! Niiiice.
Better Starcom than Sectaurs, I always say.
