'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: THE GALACTICA TASK FORCE ASSEMBLES...

Adama addresses the selected to win them over to the mission.

Cleaned-up, put in uniform, the four criminal members of the new Demolition Team are brought to Commander Adama, as the life or death situation is discussed and the full mission to the ice planet Arcta initiated. Alongside the four, led by Colonel Croft, will be a team of six Colonial Warriors, led by Captain Apollo, Lt. Boomer (who, in later filmed footage for the two-parter, revealed he pulled a tour of duty at ice station Thula), and, incredulously, Lt. Starbuck!

Interestingly, this episode has references to pursuit by 'Cylon Battlestars' rather than Basestars - presumably script continuity gaffes. But wouldn't it have been interesting to have seen another type of heavy duty Cylon space vehicle in the series?


Unused angle of Wolfe and Croft, the latter of whom has his rank of Colonial Warrior Colonel temporarily re-activated during the mission.

The Colonial support team is introduced: senior gunnery master Sgt. Haals (Curtis Credel). A deleted scene moment.


A cheer for the selected Sgt. Vickers (Walt Davis) who previously partook as one of the key and valiant rear gun crew at the Battle of Caprica. A deleted scene moment. 

Lt. Voight (actor unknown) - laser technician and Chief of Weapons. A deleted scene moment.
