'MISSION' AT 45: WELCOMING THE IMPERIOUS LEADER!

The Imperious Leader (voiced agains by Patrick Macnee) addresses his robot minions.

It's an auspicious occasion for the Cylons of Gamoray as the latest version of their Imperious Leader (once more voiced by British icon Patrick Macnee) arrives on that world to officially dedicate and celebrate their newly created base and the planet's vital and significant position in the Cylon powerbase.

The Leader will soon be shocked by the destruction wrought to the city by Colonial Warriors!

In a deleted scene sequence, the two IL Series Cylons discuss the Cylons' destruction of the Delphinians but managed to keep their city buildings intact, notably the great hall they are currently in. They also discuss the Cylons ongoing war efforts across the universe (clearly, the Cylons have other enemies beyond the humans whom they wish to destroy), and the last attack by Cain and his warriors on the city, of which clear-up operations have only just been completed before the arrival of their Imperious Leader.

Cylon IL civilians discuss the event.

A Gold Command Centurion heralds their leader's arrival at the space dome.

The Imperious Leader walks to his podium, watched by his fellow Cylons.

'MISSION' AT 45: INSIDE THE CYLON CITY!

As Apollo's covert assault team begins planting explosives across key areas of Gamoray city, Starbuck and Boomer begin their interior search for the enemy control centre that also needs to be neutralised prior to Viper air assault. Incredulously, their current locale is seemingly deserted, our duo unaware that the Cylon's Imperious Leader has now arrived at the base for an important gathering...

In a deleted scene, Starbuck and Boomer follow the Gold Centurion and his guards to the command centre from the audience chamber corridor, once the Colonial bombings of the city have started.

Dirk checks his script between shooting action scenes.

A US TV/celebrity magazine covers Dirk Benedict enjoying Starbuck's new all-black combat outfit, during The Living Legend's location filming.

CLASSIC IMAGE: WHEN CARDSTERS GATHER!

Starbuck thinks he's king of the hill when it comes to all things gambling, but could his lucky streak be running out on him as an Armistice Day Pyramid game with the card shark pilots from Gemon turns sour. A scene establishing Starbuck and his Blue Squadron colleagues Boomer and Jolly that was mostly cut down for time and pace reasons from Saga of a Star World.

Boomer addresses his concerns and the potential loss of his cubits with Starbuck.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: THE DEATH OF A SPECIALIST!

Thane is brought to a Cylon Centurion interrogator.

Despite his Theta Clone disguise, Thane has ultimately been captured and brought before a Cylon squad for interrogation, watched by a shocked Clone Community. As Starbuck and Tenna arrive, they soon witness Thane, who refuses to cooperate with his captors, commit suicide as he gets a Cylon to inadvertently activate a devastating handmine he has had hidden about his person.

Tenna attends to Ser 5-9's deep laser whip wounds before he tells her to warn Starbuck of Thane's capture. A deleted scene moment.

Starbuck gathers with the Clones as Ser 5-9's wounds continue to be tended to.

The interrogation continues...

Thane fools the Cylons into using his handmine.

The suicide bomb handmine goes off in a brief and brutal scene. Note the stuntman as Thane wearing a face mask.

Thane takes out the Cylons.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: THANE IS CAPTURED!

Still in hiding with the Clone children, the news comes through to the Colonial team that Thane, having made an escape attempt and acting separate from the others, has now been captured by the Cylons,  a situation that has momentarily concerned Leda and Wolfe, both of whom are working together to plan their own later escape. 

Time is running out, as Boomer indicates to Starbuck.

Wolfe is concerned that his own escape plan could be compromised by Croft.

As Croft volunteers to get Thane back, Starbuck intercedes to investigate, but not before stopping Boxey from following him, and issuing the youngster with new orders to protect his fellow children.

A partial deleted scene from the story.

"Dad said to keep an eye on you!" Boxey tells Starbuck when he plans to go without him.

Starbuck orders Boxey to stay there and keep the Clone children safe, and to stay away from girls!

Boxey agrees to Starbucks orders with a cheeky smile.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: CONSPIRING WITH THE CYLONS!

Shortly after meeting Apollo and Ser 5-9, the main Clone Planner rushes to the nearby Cylon Garrison and informs Vulpa and his centurions that he has met with a Colonial Warrior who wishes to see Doctor Ravashol. Vulpa, knowing that humans can't survive the outside environment orders a complete search of the Clone village community by his centurions (in the filmed deleted scene Vulpa is actually voiced by a woman- likely a script supervisor on set).

Also present in the ultimately deleted scene is the mind manipulated and near docile prisoner Cadet Cree (Alan Stock), before he is ultimately taken to his cold cell imprisonment/storage. 

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: TENNA TURNS UP THE HEAT!

"I will warm you now!"

As the Demolitions Team takes rest in an isolated area of the clone community, Tenna makes good on her promise given earlier in the expedition to help 'warm up' Starbuck, in a fun little comedy moment that was ultimately deleted from the story...

Time for some personal shared warmth!

Leda and Boomer enjoy Starbuck's growing embarrassment.

Starbuck's unexpected embarrassment continues.

In the nick of time, an unimpressed Apollo turns up...

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: MEETING THE CLONE PLANNERS!

The primary Clone Planner (Liam Sullivan).

Five Clone Planners, looking like more youthful versions of their 'Father Creator' human originator, run the Theta Colony near the Cylons garrison, of which Ser 5-9 and Apollo visit them so as to get permission to meet Dr. Ravashol, which they deny, resulting in our heroes finding alternate means to see the scientist (not revealed onscreen). The main representative of the Planners then goes to tell the Cylons at the garrison of the Colonials arrival in the village, resulting in their disruptive and violent search beginning (as seen in the two-part version). 

A Planner with blue stripes and white hair/beard resembling Ravashol can be seen in the TV version's finale (played by TV series veteran actor Liam Sullivan, who also appeared in the controversial Original Star Trek episode, Plato's Stepchildren), but his role in the final two-parter incarnation is pretty much removed, much to the actor's then great frustration and disappointment. The look of the Planners in the TV version of Gun is also different to the way they are later described in the Glen A. Larson and Robert Thurston novel adaptation of the tale.

Ser 5-9 and Apollo try to win the co-operation of the planners to see Doctor Ravashol.

Conferring with his colleagues.

The Clone Planners confer on whether Apollo can visit Dr Ravashol. Note on the top far right corner, the painting of Doctor Ravashol - the "Father Creator".

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: INSIDE THE CLONE COMMUNITY!

Now within the Thetan underground community, Apollo makes plans to meet Dr. Ravashol with Ser 5-9, whilst Starbuck will take command of the others as they go to a place of safety, led by Tenna. Time is running out, and our Colonial heroes must move fast - the Galactica will soon have no choice but to enter the spacial realm near Arcta. 

Apollo turns command of the team to Starbuck as he awaits the return of Ser 5-9.

On an ominous note, Starbuck tells Apollo that he and Boomer have been taking bets as to which one of the demolition team will try to make a break for it whilst in the colony. 

A partial deleted scene from The Gun on Ice Planet Zero.

Ser 5-9 and Apollo observe life in the Theta underground colony.

Boxey tells Apollo he'll keep a close eye on Starbuck after he's told to stay with him. 

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: THE MISSION RESUMES...

Boomer surveys the snowy wilderness.

Now rested, hydrated and re-supplied, our Colonial Team returns to their mission, guided by the Clones to a new location: the underground Clone community of Arcta. A deleted sequence from the story.

The expedition, with Muffey, gathers.

Apollo: 'Where's Starbuck?'

As Starbuck takes point with Tenna, he begins flirting with her, wondering to her how she can help him become acclimatized and warmed up to the cold environment. The flirting banter between Starbuck and Tenna was ultimately toned down in the final two-part version, with Starbuck given a more serious and guilt-ridden edge during the mission in his search for Cadet Cree, handled via additionally filmed material (which is noticeable in the two-part version due to Dirk Benedict's longer hair between filming bouts, somewhere between The Lost Planet of the Gods and The Lost Warrior).

Taking point, Starbuck gets friendly with Tenna. This scene would be replaced with an alternate one of more serious note in which Starbuck asks Tenna about the location of Cylon captured prisoners.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: THE THETA CLONES JOIN THE FIGHT!

Now recovered from di-ethene poisoning on the outside plateau to which their Snowram was prior trapped, our Galactica party find that they have been rescued by a band of renegade clones fighting the Cylons who have taken over their world and enslaved the Thetans' 'Father Creator' - the revered human scientist Doctor Ravashol, the inventor responsible for the pulse energy lens communication system now being used as a weapon by the Cylons.

The Colonial Team awakens to find themselves rescued.

Our heroes awaken in a new environment clearly indicating an ongoing conflict against the Cylons. A deleted scene moment.

Are their rescuers friend or foe?

Wolfe has a simple plan: jump 'em and get outta here.

Clone resistance force leaders Ser 5-9 (Denny Miller) and Tenna (Britt Ekland) soon introduce themselves.

The Colonials and Theta Resistance forces join together.

Discovering that the Colonials have solenite charges strong enough to destroy the laser, the renegade clones, led by Ser 5-9 (Denny Miller) and Tenna (Britt Ekland) agree to guide the human party, bar the wounded Voight, Vickers and Sgt. Haals, to the underground Thetan community being held by the Cylons, so as to meet Ravashol. 

In a deleted scene, Apollo orders Haals (Curtis Credel) to stay behind to look after their injured colleagues Voight and Vickers.
