    • Quotes

      Jamie: [glancing at newspaper] Oh my lord, we're wanted criminals. Look.

      [hands it to Dillon]

      Dillon: We didn't do anything! Well, we did kinda damage that car... and that building. Do they make you pay for that kind of thing on Earth, or is there some kind of system?

    • Crazy credits
      For some reason, the three-part opening episode is the only episode to display the series name of "Galactica 1980". All subsequent episodes display "Battlestar Galactica" as the series name.
