Galactica Discovers Earth, Part 1 |
1980-01-27 |
At last, the Galactica finds the planet Earth! It's the year 1980 A.D., and
their hopes are dashed when they find that the planet does not have the
technology to help defeat the Cylons. In fact, the Earth is bad off as
it is. The Galactica leaves Earth, so that the Cylons following do not
find it, but send down Capt. Troy (formerly Boxey, Adama's grandson) and
Lt. Dillon to contact Prof. Mortinson, a man they feel can help them to
advance Earth's technology quick enough to be of help. There is trouble,
in the form of Xavier, one of the Council of Twelve who feels that the
Galacticans should upgrade Earth by travelling into the past and introducing
modern devices (Dr. Zee has developed a time-travel device and a cloaking
device, both outfitted into Vipers). He goes to Nazi Germany, not caring
about the consequences, and Troy and Dillon, joined by reporter Jamie Hamilton
of Earth, follow him. They undo his damage, but lose Xavier somewhere in time.
Adama goes ahead with his plan to slowly upgrade Earth, Prof. Mortinson is
told that someday he will meet them again, and Jamies joins the Colonial fleet.

wrong as the Colonials - and their children - discover the vast differences
between human behavior and physiology, and their own.

The Return of Starbuck |
1980-05-04 |
At last, the fate of Starbuck is revealed. Prof. Zee was revealed in
the premiere to be a mutant and a child genius. He has a dream about
Starbuck, which he relates to Adama, who knows the story to be true.
Fourteen years earlier, while in a battle, Starbuck's Viper was gravely
damaged, and Boomer watched him wildly fly towards a planet. The fleet
could not go back for him, since the Cylons were on their tail. Starbuck
crashed onto the barren planet, his ship all but destroyed. There he
finds the remains of a Cylon fighter, of which one Cylon he is able
to fix. He does this out of loneliness. Cy, as he names him, first
wishes to kill Starbuck, because he is a human, but soon learns that
they need each other, and they become friends (to both of their surprise).
Then a mysterious pregnant woman appears, and Starbuck does his all to
care for her, which makes Cy jealous. However, Cy helps Starbuck build
a tiny ship out of the remains of both their ships, and after the woman
gives birth, launches the baby into space, the mysterious woman is gone.
It was surmised that she was from another dimension. Soon after, a Cylon
patrol lands on the planet, and when they find Starbuck they attempt to
kill him. However, Cy gives his life to save Starbuck, killing two of
the Cylons before the third guns him down. Starbuck finishes off the
third Cylon, but Cy is too far gone to be fixed. Starbuck is left alone
again. Adama reveals to Zee that he had come to the fleet in a small ship,
and his identity is revealed.
