    The idea of John Colicos, aka Klingon Bad Guy from Star Trek and pairing him with Jonathan Harris aka Dr Smith from Lost in Space was both brilliant and haririous

      John Colicos has a history of acting in science fiction, fantasy, horror..... Dr. Smith, who verbally assaulted a robot in Lost in Space then voicing Lucifer - well, the irony is there in black & white.

    Two great actors both settled into their best types of roles. Harris was a master at the sniveling, perfidious conniving evil right hand whilst Colicos was absolutely malevolent and even more calculating than his machine counterparts - yet still maniacle. Colicos had been somewhat hidden under makeup as Kor, while Harris exploited the expressions of his face extensively as Dr. Smith. Now they are reversed. We don't even see Harris on screen, but his voice carries through and Colicos is allowed to terrorize with just the right unadulterated human look. They gave a theatrical quality performance and a personality to the enemy who we initially thought were just well marshalled algorithmicly steered automata. It was so fitting that these two come together for this.

      He once said that it was quite boring to play heroes because they were so predictable, whereas with a good villain you could explore all sorts of interesting aspects of human nature. And he thought playing villains was more fun. ("Villains like blondes have more fun.") You really see he's having a ball sinking his teeth into a good villain (there are only two other actors who can do it with the same gusto, and they are both from Austria). However, he also did play two heroes, Hamlet and the young man in Heart of Darkness (I have forgotten the actual name of the character), both times, interestingly, to Lorne Greene in the role of the villain. And he must have been incredibly talented, being the youngest actor ever to play Lear on the stage of the Old Vic in London (until Nonso Anozie came along a few decades later) at 22 or 23.

    I prefered Specter then Lucifer. He was a robotic version of Baltor just as ruthless and slimy as him. 😂

    They named the robot LUCIFER? I don't remember that. That's messed up. I'm surprised they actually did that that many years ago.😮

      Oh I remember. And there was a connection with Iblis too if I remember correctly.
      They all gave me the creeps.

      @@CT-uv8os Yeah, I was waiting for someone to bring that up...Iblis actually seems to be the one to turn the original Cylons (a reptilian race) into becoming evil and it is explained that this is why the voice of Imperious Leader and Count Iblis were the same (they were both voiced by Patrick Macnee). Baltar actually mentioned this to Iblis when the latter was visiting him on the Prison Barge in the War of the Gods two-parter.
      I believe the original concept was to make the Cylons reptilian and some of the drawings I have seen suggest snake-like beings to some extent - snake in the Garden of Eden anyone? So the Cylons originally constructed those robots as sort of supersoldiers and then they ended up being overthrown by them. It may be that Lucifer and Spectre were originally Cylon names and the robots ended up using them among themselves

    I was very disappointed with the new Galactica Series because departed so much from the classic show. Where were the IL Series Cylons in that one?

    Lucifer sounds a bit gay, but regardless I'm afraid of him.

    Battlestar Galactica was a decent made for TV knockoff version of Star Wars. I looked forward to it back in the day. It sure beat the socks off Star Trek, of which I was never a fan.

      There were a lot of TV people and film makers jumping on the sci-fi bandwagon in the wake of Star Wars, just as there were some fantasy shows and movies too; that does not mean they are a knockoff version of SW. SW is more of a hero`s journey sort of tale, while BG is conceived more like The Ten Commandments (Mormon style) in space. I don't see any similarities plot or character-wise (except perhaps that the Cylons were poor shots just as the Stormtroopers!), except that the main theme was a bit reminiscent of the Star Wars main theme. Apollo is not like Luke Skywalker at all (in fact, he is much too mature already and you'd NEVER hear him whine he'd rather go somewhere else to pick up some power converters), nor Starbuck like Han Solo. And the Chancery on Carillon is not the Mos Eisley cantina. (I'm only including references to ANH because that's the only SW episode out before Galatica started airing.)
