Battlestar Galactica (1979) – Greetings From Earth
In this two-hour special presentation Glen Larson’s writing hints that the fleet may be closer to earth, but things may not be as they seem in this episode that aired 25 February, 1979! The cylons have begun to fall behind, the fleet has grown safer, but Earth is still just a distant hope, until Starbuck…
Battlestar Galactica (1979) – The Man With Nine Lives & Murder On The Rising Star
After last week’s installment of War of the Gods, these two episodes come across as a little lackluster, but there are lots of little moments, and characters in both that I was very happy to see. Both stories heavily focus on my favorite character though, Starbuck (Dirk Benedict), so that’s good! The first episode, The…

Battlestar Galactica (1978) – Saga of a Star World
It struck me that I wanted to revisit some television shows, and while I thought about it, I realized there were a couple more names that could stand alongside Spielberg, Lucas and Roddenberry as entertaining me and shaping me as I grew up… Donald P. Bellisario and Stephen J. Cannell. The tv series that…
Battlestar Galactica… Has It Been 35 Years Already?
There are those who believe…that life here began out there, far across the Universe…with tribes of humans…who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians…or the Toltecs…or the Mayans…that they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids…or the lost civilizations of Lemuria…or Atlantis.
