I saw that episode, it really sucked. I never saw apollo in that one, where was he?
Apollo either retired or died.. can't remember clearly.. supposedly Battlestar 1980 took place 20 years after the original series ended.. They stated at the beginning of the first episode of that series what happened to him.. IIRC I think he died. In Battlestar 1980, the guy with the feathered dirty blond hair is Boxie, Apollo's adopted son from the Original series.
there was more than one BSG series then?
Yes, there was the 1978-79 series of 28 episodes for the original series, then CBS picked up the series with an extremely low budget in 1980 and called it Battlestar 1980.. Still had Loren Greene as Adama, but a totally new cast and they were at Earth.. it totally sucked.. the only decent episode is the last episode of Battlestar 1980 where Starbuck's disappearance tale is played out by Dirk Benidict while Adama narrate it to the "brain child from the stars" who is now the smartest of all the human race according to the series.. as stated before.. the 1980's continuation really sucked.. it basically was intended to be a continuation, but most Battlestar Galactica fans found it to be soooooo bad that is has been ignored almost entirely by any fan site and even to the extent of only having a foot note on Official sites... basically it is treated sort of like Enterprise series to the original Trek Timeline... It never happened... Battlestar 1980 is blasphemy to the church of Battlestar Galactica.
Kinda makes you wonder why corporate tpes think they can grab a show change it and think it will work. This happens alot, and once the show changes hands everything drops right off the deep end.
As for enterprise, I still think it's halfway decent, but it definately doesn't fit in to star trek. Enterprise is enterprise, there is no star trek, and it would be nice if the producers would accept this and stop trying to tie it in to the rest of star trek.
