CLASSIC MERCHANDISE: PULP DELIGHTS!


I remember UNIVERSAL's SCI-FI Channel having a brief "pulp-sci-fi" label stint releasing VHS tapes in the UK in the late nineties, but not particularly GALACTICA. I'm assuming only a few episodes were chosen, possibly the syndicated three-part version of the pilot? If anyone has more info, please get in touch...

CLASSIC IMAGE: FEEDING TIME!


In the feeding pods area deep in the Ovion mines, Cassiopeia is on the serving menu, in this tense scene from Saga of a Star World. Originally, the character was not supposed to have survived, but this was changed during filming, with the much-liked and attractive Laurette Spang returning to the series with the filming of Lost Planet of the Gods, shot after Gun on Ice Planet Zero.
