Quotes:

Cylon Centurion: Sir! If I may...
Count Baltar: I don't want to miss a moment of the last battlestar's destruction!
Cylon Centurion: I really think you should take a look at the other battlestar!
Count Baltar: What are you babbling about? It's impossible!
Cylon Centurion: No. It is a battlestar!
Count Baltar: Turn, you fool, turn! He's coming right for us!
Count Baltar: Sound the retreat, return to our base ships!
Cylon Centurion: But, we have not finished off the Galactica!
Count Baltar: We're half out of fuel, and those Vipers are coming in fresh! Now, do as I say before they blast us out of the stars!
Cylon Centurion: Retreat! Squadron, retreat!

Movie Connections:

Edited from "Battlestar Galactica" (1978)

give the old some credit

Let's think people , quit bad-mouthing the original , for it's time the original Battlestar series was a masterpiece , even still with all the stars , story lines and art . Lorne Greene was great as Adama and Richard Hatch was perfect as Apollo and Dirk Benedict was funny as Starbuck , but I dare say , not as pretty as Katee as Starbuck .

I loved the episode with the Pegasus and Greetings from Earth was good John Calicos was great as Baltar , War of the Gods , the best was Experiment in Terra , I thought that was a tribute in a way to Heaven Can Wait , then you had the women of Battlestar , not to compare them to let's say Tricia who is outstandingly beautiful as Number Six , but Jane Seymour's beauty could not be compared to . Let alone Loerrta Spang as Cassiopea was fantastic .She had beauty that a rainbow would be embarrassed by . I loved the original as much as the new .

Can you imagine if John Calicos had a number six ? :)

Thankyou for listening .
