CLASSIC IMAGE: TIME TO GO...

Our heroes, led by a blaster firing Starbuck, just about make it out alive from the secret Ovion underground lair, full of in-league Cylons, in this rare still from Saga of a Star World.

CLASSIC IMAGE: INTO BATTLE

Captain Apollo (Richard Hatch) leads his elite Blue Squadron viper wing into new battle against the Cylons, in this image from Saga of a Star World.

CLASSIC IMAGE: FRENCH FOR FRAK?!

The Cylons go on a merchandising publicity rampage for this early 2000's promotional poster for the French release of the Classic Galactica range on DVD.

CLASSIC IMAGE: COMMANDER ON DECK!

Tensions mount for Commander Adama and Colonel Tigh on the impressive bridge of the Galactica, in this scene from Saga of a Star World. The actual computers used on the bridge may look dated now, but the overall set, one of the most expensive ever built for television at that time, remains as impressive as ever.

CLASSIC IMAGE: OLD MEETS NEW?

A weird but interesting fusion of well-known art and cgi imagery for this Classic Series DVD sleeve. I'm assuming it's a fan concoction rather than official release art?

CLASSIC IMAGE: QUEEN SHEBA OF PEGASUS!

A terrific mid-season addition to the Classic Series, the lovely Anne Lockhart made for a sexy and brave heroine, Lt. Sheba of the Battlestar Pegasus, from the two-parter The Living Legend onwards. A regular guest star in Glen A. Larson productions, including Buck Rogers, Lockhart had originally been offered the role of Athena in the pilot, but turned it down as the role hadn't been fully developed at that time to the point where she wanted to commit. When the new role of Sheba came along a while later, Lockhart didn't hesitate in joining the series-lucky for us.

CLASSIC IMAGE: STARBUCK THE TEACHER!

An interesting image of a deleted scene from LOST PLANET OF THE GODS, as Starbuck teaches the new female Viper pilots (including Athena). A brief moment from this scene can be found in the two parters recap/preview.
