CLASSIC IMAGE: BACK TO A PAST LIFE ENCOUNTER!


He'd be in their unique ship environment before but never remembered it, now the reawakened Apollo must serve the mysterious 'light beings' in a vital mission to save the humans of Terra from a destruction similar to that which befell the Twelve Colonies, in the Heaven Can Wait-esque light comedy adventure, Experiment in Terra.

CLASSIC ART: WHEN 'CRACKED' MET 'GALACTICA'!


One knows when a series has hit the big time with viewers and pop culture the moment it starts getting a humorous mocking, as seen here with the cover feature to Cracked magazine, whom that month back in the day had their laughter sights firmly locked on Battlestar Galactica. And it was a pretty good send-up too, if I recall!

CLASSIC IMAGE: TIME FOR A LITTLE PAYBACK!


There's an old saying, 'Don't put your eggs in once basket'. Especially not if they're bad eggs, as our heroes Boomer and Sheba discover when old enemies in Baltar, the Borellian Nomen and the Eastern Alliance take control of the Prison Barge, subsequently capturing them and their shuttle, in the always-enjoyable hostage drama, Baltar's Escape.

BEHIND THE SCENES: INSIDE THE VIPER BAY!


Widely publicised as one of the most expensive weekly TV series ever made at that time, the Viper fighter bay set, with its full size mock-up Colonial Viper fighter on its launch track, must have been one impressive set that certainly added to the weekly production costs. But, like the expansive Galactica bridge, it was worth every penny to be seen on screen.

If anyone knows the behind the scenes crew member in shot, please get in touch.

CLASSIC IMAGE: SPACE NAZIS!


The Galacticans have jumped from one frying pan into another, encountering a new human enemy just as evil and slaughtering as the Cylons - the Nazi-esque the Eastern Alliance, as personified by Commandant Leiter (Lloyd Bochner) and his thugs, in this moment from the feature-length mid-season episode Greetings from Earth.

CLASSIC IMAGE: THE CARING CASSIOPEIA!


Though her skills as a 'Socialator' were no doubt spectacular, it was her later post-apocalypse career as a med tech, saving people's lives both on the Galactica and within the Rag-Tag fleet, for which Cassiopeia would become most famous- a popular and lovely character brought to life by Laurette Spang, visually celebrated here in this lovely collage via WiilieT.

CLASSIC IMAGE: WE ARE WARRIORS!


Most of their race may have perished with the Cylon holocaust attack, but what's left of the Borellian Noman remain an indomitable, intimidating force regardless, especially when led by the intelligent and powerful Maaga (Lance LeGault), as he and his followers initiate a 'Blood Trail' for the elusive 'Captain Dimitri' in the classic action/comedy The Man with Nine Lives.
