- TriviaIn the early scenes of Saga of a Star World (1978), five Battlestars appear, although only two are clearly named: the Galactica and Atlantia. Faint background radio voices can be heard identifying the other three - Pacifica, Triton and Acropolis. In "Gun on Ice Planet Zero", Cree mentions the Columbia. In "The Living Legend", a sixth battlestar, Pegasus, is named. The other six remained unnamed.
- GoofsAs Commander Cain's shuttle approaches Galactica's landing bay the writing on the side of the shuttle is GAL 356 making it from Galactica, not Pegasus. Reused footage.

After a string of weak episodes that saw them alternate having Apollo and Starbuck shot down on a very Earth circa the past type of planet, BSG comes roaring back with its best episode since the pilot movie. With a solid story supported a sharp script (by series creator Glenn Larson) and a great guest starring performance from Lloyd Bridges, this represents 'BSG' living up to its potential. Even the series regulars seem to sense that the material here is better and raise their games accordingly. Richard Hatch (Apollo), whose character is often burdened with being the somewhat banal straight man, is particularly good, showing that he has the range to do more than smile and heroically go about his heroic heroism.
