'GALACTICA 1980': STRANGERS IN A STRANGE LAND!

It's a world that's surely stranger than anything they've ever encountered before. Nonetheless, Galactica's Earthbound recon team of Troy and Dillion must investigate with their arrival in the land called the United States, in these great images from the (still) mostly disappointing Galactica 1980.

'GALACTICA 1980': COLONIAL ROADSTER...

Strangers in a strange land, indeed, as Troy prepares to join his long time friend and fellow Colonial Warrior Dillion in exploring the mysterious realms of America, in a scene from the original launch adventure, Galactica Discovers Earth.

CLASSIC ART: EXPLORING CALIFORNIA!

Finally, the Colonial fleet has located that mythical planet of Earth, but they'll get a shock when they discover just what its populace and technology are like, as Galactican scouts Troy and Dillon soon discover in this great cover art by David Schleinkofer for the 1980 Berkley Books' Battlestar Galactica novel 5: Galactica Discovers Earth, adapted and expanded by Glen A. Larson and Michael Resnick. Whether one likes Galactica 1980 or not, the cover art is better than most of the actual onscreen adventures of that short-lived season.
