...We Should All Be So Lucky.

This sort of thing amuses me deeply. I was watching some A-Team the other day while cleaning up, and saw episode 1.5, "A Small and Private War", in which the A-Team is hired by an old cop to take down and expose the bizarro-A-team, a S.W.A.T. unit that's begun taking assassination contracts for extra cash. In this episode, one of the key bad guys is played by Dean Stockwell, who you may all know from Quantum Leap but who more recently had a great and well-played turn on the new Battlestar Galactica as skin-job John Cavil (best character exit ever, by the way! Freakin' brilliant!). One of the stars of The A-Team was Dirk Benedict (Face), who wound up kicking the crap out of Stockwell's character in "A Small and Private War." And as you all know, Dirk Benedict played Starbuck on the original Battlestar. Which means that everyone who's worked on the new Battlestar is now only one degree from George Peppard.

Those lucky so-and-sos.

:D
