Great series, I was only 12 years old when Battlestar Galactica aired and I was hooked. Now I’m 55 and I just bought the 1978 series on DVD and watched the whole thing in 3 days. This series will arrive next week, unfortunately I wasn’t a model kid so I missed a lot due to being grounded from the tv, who knew 39 years later that I’d get the last laugh on my parents lol.

Hey that was Brion James as the biker troublemaker {"Willy") on the right side of the road. I forgot he was in this. He's been in so many things, one of those guys you recognize and has bits in EVERYTHING but you don't know who they are. He was in pretty much every show on TV at some point or another when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's. He's also been in over 100 movies according to wiki, one of those guys who probably never turned down a role. Been in a lot of crap movies but some very good ones too, like Blade Runner. I was trying to remember where I knew him from in a favorite movie after seeing this and it finally came to me...he was General Munro in the Fifth Element. I got to thinking I don't recall seeing him in anything since...the Fifth Element came out in '97, he died in '99 at only 54, sadly. RIP. Thanks for all the interesting characters.

I didn't know what to make of Galactica 1980 when it first aired, but I watched with my parents as faithfully as we could, given how it skipped around. BSG Classic was great. BSG 1980 was, well, a mixed bag. The bikes were fun, if a little iffy. -- Funny, I can't remember if Troy or Dillon was supposed to be the grown-up version of Boxes. I'll have to do a rewatch of both shows. -- I loved the old BSG and grew to love the BSG Reboot.

This cut is not from "Battlestar Galactica". A massive write-in campaign began upon the cancellation of the original Battlestar Galactica 1979 so ABC contacted TV-producer Glen A. Larson who modified a less expensive format spin-off: "Galactica 1980"

I actually never saw this episode, but I like it! The cheese fits in right along with the rest of the series so I don't see a problem with it.

Hey, one of those bikers was a replicant in Blade Runner.

I loved the flying motorcycles. So cool!

Some things were better in the memory than to actually be seen again. This is one of those things.

For some reason that I can't remember now, the 80's movies and TV shows were all about portraying bikers as klutzy assclowns that always ended up on their butts with wrecked bikes every time they hassled someone. LOL

I loved these bikes. Wow this takes me back some , I want one

The line that should have been: "Don't forget where we parked the Vipers!"

In Galactica 1980 they say Earth is technologically primitive but really Earth did have a lot of the same tech that went on battlestars....the Galactica's computer tech seemed pretty similar to 1980's Earth computer technology...we had thermonulear missiles (albeit pointed at each other rather than put on battlestars or at least orbital defense platforms and probably giving Adama some serious Western Nationalist/Eastern Alliance hostility vibes in the process) and we did have lasers, just no weapons-grade ones as of yet...although some armor-piercing bullets might've done better at penetrating the thick armor on that Cylon scout ship rather than the Vipers' lasers which only bounced off it
