Stranded by choice after having led off a pursuant Cylon fighter trio from the Colonial Fleet, Apollo lands on Equellus to discover an enemy presence of an altogether different kind, in the classic early episode well showcasing Richard Hatch, The Lost Warrior.
A trio of lethal Cylon Raiders close in for the kill on the capital city of Caprica, in this great effects shot from Saga of a Star World that was often reused through the first part of the series.
All seems lost for the Twelve Colonies of Man: their planets devastated, their peoples mostly eradicated. Yet the spirit of hope and leadership charisma emanating from Commander Adama brings the struggling, defeated survivors of the Cylon holocaust together for one last chance of escape from their horrific enemies, as seen in this important moment from Saga of a Star World...
Always on the move, Starbuck's unexpected double date with both Athena and Cassiopeia aboard the Rising Star luxury liner yields unexpected problems but also lots of fun light comedy for the three characters, in this fun opening to The Long Patrol.
Interestingly, in the episode's Deleted Scenes released on Blu-ray, Cassie is still a designated Socialator and not yet a Med-Tech. When she later appears on the Galactica bridge to see Athena, her beauty in this unique job position catches all the attention of the male bridge crew! This indicates that The Long Patrol was originally shot in production order between The Gun On Ice Planet Zero and before Lost Planet of the Gods, where Cassie, having now survived the Ovion food mine (originally eaten in the pilot), has started her new position of Med-Tech (as revealed in a deleted scene with Apollo from Lost Planet).
Starbuck's heavily damaged fighter within one of the Galactica landing bays is memorably captured in this great behind the scenes image taken during Apogee's model effects filming of Saga of a Star World, in mid 1978.
