CLASSIC IMAGE: FAMILY MATTERS!

The Galactica bridge is normally recognised as a place of high-stakes battle and drama, but there's still an occasional time there for quiet and reflection as Adama and Boxey share some quality time together whilst Apollo is currently missing in action, in this scene from The Lost Warrior.

CLASSIC IMAGE: INTO THE REALM OF THE OVIONS!

Deep in the bowels of the mystery world of Carillon, an insectoid Ovion mine worker leads his Colonial visitors in a trek across the bridge entrance to the alien race's underground realm of power and nightmares in this unseen angle/moment from Saga of a Star World that ultimately made it to TOPPS card form in 1978.

CLASSIC IMAGE: HEROINE SWAP!

One of the series most action-packed adventures, Gun on Ice planet Zero was soon a ratings hit for Galactica when the story debuted later in the series run than had at first been planned- not as the feature-length movie to have followed on from the pilot episode but rather becoming an expanded two-parter with additionally shot material.

It looks like from The Young Lords Audrey Landers somehow wandered into this adventure though, rather than the story's actual female guest lead Britt Ekland, as seen in this hilarious 'Oops!' TV Guide magazine episode ad promotion.

CLASSIC ART: VIPER'S AWAY!

Scouting the galaxy for signs of the Thirteenth Tribe's Earthbound presence, as well as being the advance scout for any dangers that lie ahead of them, a Viper patrol launches from the mighty Galactica in this lovely art from Carlos Zangrando.

CLASSIC IMAGE: HERE COMES THE BRIDE...

There's never not been a time when British beauty Jane Seymour hasn't looked gorgeous or spectacular, either as herself or in the wide variety of on screen characters she's played, but her portrayal of Serina in Galactica will always be particularly memorable, especially when seen in this striking wedding dress creation, as seen in part two of Lost Planet of the Gods. Lucky Apollo, eh?

CLASSIC ART: CYLON ATTACK!

 

Legions of Cylons, led by a distinctive death-delivering Gold Centurion (one of its kind, the memorable Vulpa, having previously appeared onscreen in Gun on Ice Planet Zero) go on the attack in this stunning art. If anyone knows the artist of this piece, please get in touch.

CLASSIC IMAGE: WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Probably the classic series greatest guest star, acting/dance legend Fred Astaire was simply marvellous as the aging conman who might just be the father of that equally lovable rogue-of-sorts Starbuck, in the highly-regarded episode The Man With Nine Lives. Had the series continued for a second year, I'm sure Astaire/Chameleon would have returned for more comedy escapades with a genuinely awestruck Dirk Benedict.
