this be one of my favorite sci fi show and but i certainly recognize it flaw . the good represent the concept > i like the historical context of the 12 tribe of kobol and the pearl harbor like attack and the ragtag fugitive fleet seek earth . this really frame the series well . > the look of the ceylon base ship and the bat wing ceylon fighter be terrific . i also like the look of the battlestars and colonial viper . the command center of the battlestar seem believable . the cast represent > lorne greene a adama bring a commanding screen presence > richard hatch a apollo be well cast and believable a a leader or captain of a fighter wing > dirk benedict a starbuck the amiable sarcastic sidekick > john colicos a baltar ooze evil with perfection > other minor cast member like herbert jefferson jr a boomer and terry carter a colonel tigh be very well cast too > i think the three most visible female character be all good and though not standout . maren jensen and laurette spang and and anne lockhart just also happen to be beautiful too . > visit cast member like represent > lloyd bridge a commander cain be truly memorable > patrick mcnee a count iblis be also highly memorable > ray milland and fred astaire be good guest star too the costume > i like the colonial warrior uniform they still have a style to them today . i like the warrior helmet with their egyptian like motif . > the ceylon warrior with their shiny armor and have a great look to them too . the red strobe they use for vision be a great menacing concept . some episode with great plot line > the return of commander cain and the pegasus stand out > i think the visit to the home planet of kobol and with it egyptian motif and be terrific . this be part of the pilot introductory three episode . > i also like the encounter with the ship of light and count iblis this be especially well do . the music i still like the theme song to battlestar galactica the behavior of the ceylon be entertain . by your command speak in a tinny voice be a favorite . the bad represent some cheesy special effect ( by today standard ) > . and reuse of the same special effect > why be count iblis crash site off color in one moment and and clear blue the next . quite a lot of cheesy cringe induce dialogue the little kid boxie and his robot dog some of the episode have really horrible plot line and especially later in the series > the lost warrior where the kid attack the ceylon outpost > why do baltar return to the human fleet again . the ugly represent the original show be cancel after one season galactica 1980 and the follow on show in which the battlestar find earth and be pretty horribleall in all and i be willing to forgive battlestar galactica flaw and remember with fondness it strength . rick .
