Galactica 1980

Goof: It's never made clear what Starbuck was going to do for food once his emergency rations ran out. Plus it seems hard to believe that he was carrying enough rations in that one fighter to last as long as they did, especially once he had to feed two more people.

Starbuck has been on this planet for several weeks, with the Galactica moving farther all the time. How could that little ship possibly hold enough fuel to catch up to the fleet?

The episode uses several references to Earth terms for units of time, rather than the BSG convention of sectars, yahrens and other alien terms.

And finale features three Centurions landing on the planet in search of Starbuck and their downed colleague. Cy and Starbuck shoot them all dead, but Cy deactivates. First off, Starbuck now has three more Cylons to try to attempt to fix Cy. Second, the three Centurions landed in a ship. Why doesn't Starbuck try to use it to escape from the planet? Answer to the last: It was established in the BSG episode "The Hand Of God" that a minimum of two pilots is required to fly a Cylon Raider.

The Daggits manning the Vipers that run interference for Troy and Dillon are actually Coloniol Warriors. The squadron name is "D" Squadron, nicknamed Daggits.

Goof: Troy and Dillon disguise themselves in white tuxedos and are thrust on stage during a musical where they pick up an actress and turn invisible. When they are visible, she is sitting on their shoulders with her legs sticking out in front of her. After they turn invisible, her legs point straight down as if she is being hoisted by wires. Apparently, no one reminded the actress she should hold her legs out as if she was sitting on something.

Highlights from The Night The Cylons Landed (1) are shown after opening credits and before start of this episode.

When they have a shot (from underneath) of the Galactica moving through space, it is going backwards.

The Centurion wanders into the kitchen and someone turns on the microwave, causing the Centurion to malfunction and collapse. Quite an amusing scene, but are we supposed to believe that in 1,000 years of war, the supposedly technologically advanced colonials never figured out the deliterious effects of microwaves on Cylon circuitry, or that the Cylons never devised a counter to it?

The film being shown at the movie theater, in which Dillon, Troy and the Space Scouts are members of the audience, is the 1955 science fiction movie "This Island Earth".

The scene where Adama asks Dr. Zee why the Cylons don't simply wipe out the fleet is lifted from part one of "Super Scouts".

Judging by the conversation held by the people in the car, the time of this episode is on or around Halloween which explains the ease with which the Cylon and the human-looking Cylon are accepted.

The Cylons seem almost to have fewer problems assimilating into Earth culture than Troy and Dillon!

By supplying Troy & Dillon with a Viper, Xavier apparently maroons himself on Earth.

Jeremy Brett takes over the role of Xavier from Richard Lynch in this episode. Adama gives an explanation for his changed appearance (and that of Dr. Zee) by stating that Galacticans had some success with epidermal tranformation. Mr. Brett is also seen as the 'real' Lt. Nash standing beside Adama when he communicates with Troy and Dillon.

During the baseball game one of the Cougar players was announced as Frank Lupo Jr. Frank Lupo was the writer and producer of this show.
