Yes they did. The introduction for the 1978 series, "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. Some believe there may yet be brothers of man..."

There was some book called "Ancient Astronauts" which was about how "life here began out there" and had become popular back in the day, and show creator Glen Larson had read it and come up with the script for a story he called "Adam's Ark". So the ancient Egyptians headdresses were inspired by the flight helmets of the colonial viper pilots.

Also doing this for my acting exam 😂 it's a good laugh.

The same thing happened to Wilma Deering in Buck Rogers. Sheba was an exciting character when she was first introduced.

She still was a BAD ASS viper pilot but you gotta have a life

Anne Lockhart confirms she was asked to return for a proposed but Unproduced sequel series under Glen Larson in the late 90’s with the pilot plot seeing the return of Commander Cain and the Pegasus. That would have been Awesome to see. Sheba had so much potential. Total bad a**.

In the 1978 series Apollo and Starbuck with both in Blue squadron aboard Galactica at the time of the attack.

Starbuck was supposed to be patrolling with Apollo the day of the attack but he feigned illness so that Zack could take his place. Zack had just graduated as a warrior and was excited about a routine patrol. Zack's top engine was hit when they discovered the Cylon attack force and he died just short of the fleet when Apollo went ahead to warn of the attack. Zack could have been saved if Adar had allowed all Battlestars to launch as soon as they knew it was a double cross.

@@roberttbrockway "they"? Adama was the only one who was sure; Baltar was bluffing and mindfucking Adar until it was far too late. But you are right; Adar was stupid not to take Adama seriously. Launching everything might have preserved more battlestars intact, but it still wouldn't have helped the colonies; the words "The planet's in flames, Commander" were spoken too soon after the battle/while it was still wrapping up.

Haha that made my day!

Thank you that someone else was thinking along those lines. This scene is a good lesson about how friendly fire incidents happen. Sheba and Bojay did not verify their targets before they attacked - and I always wondered how they never recognized they were attacking Colonial Vipers.

Even as a kid watching the show, which I loved, I found Apollo too angry and argumentative to really like. Today I'd use the word "insubordinate."

That name would get memed to death these days.

I don't get it. BoJay was a former pilot in their squadron, so, why wouldn't Starbuck be excited? What's up with the name BoJay??

Wouldn't eyeballs be sufficient? It's not like they are miles apart. If they are close enough to fire upon then they're close enough for visual ID

@@dougs7367 go to 0:27 - if they were within visual range, then why would Sheba need her Viper's computer and sensors to realize that they were chasing after other Vipers?

@@OptimusWombat Thats kind of my point.. if they are firing on them then they are within visual range. Combat ins BSG is alot like aerial combat in WW2. And wouldn't they use their long ranger sensors to identify the targets before firing anyway?

@@dougs7367 you wrote: "wouldn't they use their long ranger sensors to identify the targets before firing anyway?", except that if you watch the clip again you can clearly see that Apollo and Starbuck were already taking fire from Bojay _before_ Sheba called him off after confirming with her sensors.

In the late 90's, there was talk of a Pegasus only movie, there was a website up and everything, but it never went further than that. The only thing on the website was "Coming Soon".

Agreed there was lots of potential there.

It's possible that Lloyd Bridges wasn't interested in starring in a "BATTLESTAR PEGASUS" series.

It still IS a great show. I own the REAL Battlestar Galactica on dvd. I've even tried streaming the 2004 version a few times. It sucks as bad every time as it did the first time I watched it. Nobody beats Korne Greene as Commander Adama.

@The Mystery Man Who knows, maybe one of them survived the Battle of Cimtar.

@The Mystery Man Yeah, it's canon by now that the other battlestars were destroyed, but it could have been an opportunity for a spin-off where another battlestar survived with the fighters that Galactica didn't pick up. It would probably be worse off than the Pegasus though. Good job listening to the background voices, I never knew they mentioned other battlestars during the battle.

@The Mystery Man I apologize for not clarifying my statement. I know the battlestars at Cimtar were doomed except for Galactica. I'm refering more to battlestars that were not at Cimtar. Cain didn't know the Galactica survived until Sheba and Bojay ran across Apollo and Starbuck. I also read somewhere that Larson sent plans to the costume department for a Battlestar Prometheus, including helmet crests and uniform patches. According to that report, Galactica would have discovered Prometheus had BSG received a proper season 2.

I think the other surviving Battlestar's met up at Borallus and didn't go through the short cut because of the mines and lack of pilots to lead the way. Borallus had plenty of supplies and a possibly a Cylon outpost, but with several surviving Battlestar's it wouldn't have a been a problem, probably very few Cylon raiders since they were all at Cimtar.

No. But Cheryl Ladd was in another episode.

As Would Athen atlosing another brother

Adam and Athen? Perhaps you meant Adama and Athena.

What I didn't like was the recycled space battles scenes. The non-recycled space battle scenes were definitely a plus in the new series.

@@sangmoon2464 Better special effects are always nice, but it's the characters and storyline that make me enjoy a series, so for that reason I prefer the original.

@@rowanaforrest9792 It's not so much "better" effects as "not the same effect all over again". Even when I was nine or ten, I caught myself rolling my eyes over that one occasionally and it did spoil the enjoyment somewhat.

@@Ensign_Cthulhu Oh yes, I always noticed the reused special effects. I didn't know then, but the 1978 show had to reuse effects so much because the network gave them neither the budget nor the time to film even half as many new effects as they wanted. Considering their budget and time constraints, I think they did well.

@DigitalShooter: Agreed, there's a number of things about the rebooted Battlestar Galactica that I personally disliked, and while the gender-swap of Boomer and Starbuck are amongst them, that takes a backseat to everything else that was changed that I disliked in the rebooted Battlestar Galactica

@julius uzu: Yeah, the Warriors of the Battlestar Pegasus, tended to shoot first and (maybe) question themselves afterwards. And aside from Commander Cain's daughter 'Sheba', there didn't seem to be much 'diversity' when it came to the Pegasus' Warrior complement.

@@WalterDWormack214 What a grug brained ice cold midwit take.

@subliminal juggernaut I wonder if there was any Socialtor's on the Pegasus?

@@JENDALL714 The Galactica didn't have one. Cassiopeia became a med tech.

@@WalterDWormack214 One thing to remember is that Galactica could bring in new recruits from the civilian convoy if they lost warriors. The Pegasus couldn't since it was one ship all alone.
