Damn funny. Although, having not seen Season 2.1, I fear I might have seen a bit of a spoiler with Dualla. Hopefully not.

I was kinda like "meh" when I clicked on the link to check it out but I only got as far as Boomer before I started cackling. Funny stuff.

Not enough overbite. But otherwise pretty good.

Funny stuff, but the one of Starbuck is a bit too butchy. She's way hotter than that.

Sharon's picture was inspired. :)

i love the baby toster. Excellent stuff.

She's way hotter than that.

Yeah, Six and Boomer are hotter than that as well, but that's the fun of Simpsons style artwork.

Yeah, I realize that. But Starbuck looks likes a haggard 50 yr old, here. (The toaster is great.)

...waaaait, I knew someone was missing. Agathon! Where's Helo?

They could have extended the Boomer picture and just put him on the far right edge, staring uncomprehendingly. I demaaaaand this!

to be fair, only the 'real' simpsons characters have the overbite. all the guest star characters are drawn in such a way that any reasonable person would recognize them. so, for what it's worth, i think they look fantastic.

Why can't I see this in Firefox? IE works fine.

Bears repeating.

Just in case anyone hasn't seen the new season, there is a spoiler or two in there...

"tvjunkie" indeed. Thanks for this. Really, fantastic.

I beg to differ.

Bzzt. Sorry, you've failed the B.G.Nerd entrance exam. Please reapply next year.

They're all the copies of Sharon we've seen, and her baby toaster.

delmoi, that's Pregnant Sharon, a couple of the Naked Sharons from the enemy cap ship, and Assassin Sharon.

She's just, um, sharon herself around, I guess. :)

The style is a bit rough, as noted above, but certainly familiar from a simpsons standpoint and not bad.

It's all about the toaster!

lol. 'nuff said.

Assassin Sharon being dead, hence the pallor.
posted by heresiarch at 6:02 PM on May 7, 2006

The baby toaster is what did it for me. Funny!

Wonderful job, and a great show! Highly recommended to even those snobs who hate sci-fi.

And yes, Starbuck does look a little like a slightly more masculine Macauley Culkin.

Spectacular. My latent Adama-Roslin 'shipping is sated.
posted by Isabeau Sahen at 7:22 PM on May 7, 2006

I love the sorta bashful "we're not really holding hands" look on Adama's and Roslin's faces.
posted by hooray at 7:43 PM on May 7, 2006

I thought I heard tell of the Lost cast drawn as Simpsons characters somewhere. I'd like to see that.

FRACK!! Please, no more spoilers, people! Have a heart for those of us outside of N. America and the UK, 'kay?

These are spectacularly good. I thought the Dualla picture was pretty clever, too.

Pst, rob511, I'm told that all the eps are up on them internets, but you didn't hear it from me.

La la la la not listening la la la la la.

Why not just BitTorrent now, and watch some commercials later to make up for it?

Is "Why not just BitTorrent it?" the new "Area Man Constantly Mentioning He Doesn't Own a Television"?

These are great. Thanks.

Not really. Looked spot on.

Thought they all were pretty on the spot.

Hell, rob511, if you ask nicely someone would probably snail-mail you a copy of the episodes.

If you want to get revenge on American sci fi geeks, ask them how they like the new Doctor Who with Christopher Eccleston that's just started showing here. Then ask them if they're familiar with this man's work.

*asks very, very nicely for snail-mail copies*

Geez, how far behind is the UK? That event happened a long time ago. Beginning of season 2, I believe. If you guys are that far behind, you must be in some serious pain.

So say we all.
