Ahh, it takes me back to those heady days of young fandom, being an X-Phile (oh, what a horrible name), writing fanfic between classes, flirting with strange Canadians over the interweb, and all my passwords being 'trustno1'. Heeheehee. I looked at the list of first season episodes, and simply had to join. Squeeze! The Jersey Devil! Fire! Beyond The Sea! Gender Bender! Darkness Falls! I'd forgotten how much love I had for that series. *happy sigh*
And did everyone already know that Hammond is Scully's dad? I only just realised it today. It made me very happy, in a very geeky way.
ETA: And was it just me, or did every second X-Files fanfic involve them getting all dressed up to go to an entirely unlikely FBI ball, and dancing to something corny and romantic?

...Why was Starbuck on BSG called that, do you know?
In the original series it seemed more like a last name because they referred to him as Lt. Starbuck rather than just Starbuck (whereas in the newer series, she has a separate name, Kara Thrace and just goes by Starbuck as her call sign).
In the original series, Starbuck's parentage was in question. Fred Astaire guest-starred as a character who was revealed to be Starbuck's father (but not to Starbuck).
I've not seen the show, you see. From the bits I have seen of the original, though, I could imagine them choosing the name Starbuck because it's the sort of thing a space pilot could be called. :)
