[edit] Colonel Tigh?
Are you sure Colonel Tigh (Terry Carter) does not appear in this series? I strongly remember seeing him in at least the first couple of episodes. 23skidoo 14:15, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
- You might have seen him in some flashback footage, but he wasn't there. The make up department put some grey in Boomer's hair, and tried to make him look as much like Colonel Tigh as possible. CantStandYa 14:55, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Unscreened footage of Starbuck?
Can someone support the claim that the Return of Starbuck episode used "unscreened footage" from the original series? That doesn't jive with anything I've heard about Galactica 1980, that Benedict returned to the role in a last ditch effort to save the series. Can someone provide a link to support this? 24.71.223.140 03:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- I heard this in a Dirk Benedict radio interview on "The Russ Martin Show", afternoons Dallas (3pm - 7pm), frequency 105.3. This interview aired circa summer of 2004, I recall. CantStandYa 14:55, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

- I've just watched the "Return of Starbuck" episode, and discoverd that Dr.Zee (Adama's advisor ,a Boy-Professor),is Starbuck's son. Mightberight/wrong 20:22, 7 November 2005.
[edit] Different opening title
I once saw a Galactica '80 marathon on the Sci-Fi Channel, but the title said "Battlestar Galactica" rather than "Galactica 1980". Why is this so? Sgt. Bond 20:43, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Answer: A syndication package, put together in 1982, lumped the original series and "Galactica 1980" together and called them all collectively "Battlestar Galactica". These syndication prints, and copies of them made since, still show the title "Battlestar Galactica" at the start of the "Galactica 1980" episodes. Mokwella 04:25, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Weird vanadalism fixed
Episode 6 lists "(guest-starring Patrick Stewart"); I can't find evidence of this in IMDB's listing for Patrick Stewart, or in the Battlestar Galactica wiki entry for the episiode, so I've removed it. UniqueCrash5 20:28, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
