Bruce,
What about Ms. Lockhart, or Jane Seymore? They've always have stood out
in my mind.
Nope, try this on for size,
After the first shows where filmed, they didn't know from week to week if
the show was a go or not, the writers would get the word just about at the
dealine for making a new show, so they would write, submit, re-write, then
film it and have it in the can just hours before the airing date.
Plus, BSG at the time was the most costly show being made, at $1 million per
week ( now a days that's cheap ) and to try to keep cost down they spliced
in all the old stock footage of the battles and they used any models from
movies,shows, that where around ( like tha Ag ship, name the movie it was
in ).
So when buck (dumb ) rogers came to be and it was only 1/2 as much to make,
BSG got the Ax, even with it getting the top ratings in it's time slot.
Oh, BTW, one fare I picked up to take to the airport was a real nice trip,
get was just as big in real life as in the T.V. show even without all the
green skin color.
The very last BSG ( if I remember right ) had Adama bring the BSG to flank
speed to attack the two Basestars. From what I could figure, it was suppost
to be near light speed, but the fuel useage was the limiting factor on how
long it could be used. Unlike the you know what remake (yuk) of BSG, they
never had anykind of Jump/Warp engines.
And "Enzo Matrix" opened up and revealed to the world

Enzo,
Not a problem, she came on with Lloyd Bridges in the two parter "Living
Lengend."
Or the fox that played Athena?
Or the cutie that played Cassiopia?

Scott,
Mm, hmm, I'm sure she helped the "booster rocket" of many a young boy. .

Silent Running, another Universal movie. (Did they use any clips
from This Island Earth? :))
The new BSG uses fairly faithful reproductions of the rag-tag,
fugitive fleet of the original, but the Ag ship was only loosely
similar to Douglas Trumbul's design... backing off out of
respect? (It also didn't make it away from the new Cylons,
causing me to wonder what folks will eat.)
Perhaps not cause and effect, since Buck ran on NBC, and the
Battlestar on ABC. Although I think I do remember reading that
for a time the production office and special effects technicians
were working on both at the same time and felt the pinch.
It occurs to me that Universal was responsible for both the
stupid '80s Buck Rogers TV series and the stupid '80s Flash
Gordon movie. Boy, they have a lot to answer for!

: You don't remember Jane Seymour? Tch, tch, tch.

I checked. She wasn't a regular. But, no, I do not
remember her appearing in the series.
Who could forget her role as Solitare?

Slightly. Okay, IMDB had a photo of Jensen. She looks
to be confined to the bridge shots?
Wasn't Cassie the one Face was always chasing around?
I seem to recall an episode where they dolled her up, and
that got my attention. But, other than that, no mini, and
a very utilitarian flight suit... :-)

Bruce,
Yep, that's her. I think that she was in the "pleasure" business and then
became a Medic.

Bruce,
Yep, she wasn't a regular, but she was there in the begining. She was
Boxey's mother.
Solitare is the Character Ms Seymor played in the James Bond movie "Live and
Let Die" which was her film debut. She was the Bond girl for the film.

Thanks for the heads-up, Martin. I got episodes 8-13, and the series
looks great.
I know I sound like a sexist pig, but DAMN the women are hot in this
series; even Mary McDonnell, but I always thought she was sexy. :)
Starbuck reminds me of a hard-edged, short-haired Monica Potter.
Anyway, thanks for the pointer. Any suggestions where I can dig up the
first half of the season, and the miniseries?
I wouldn't mind picking up some recent Enterprise episodes, either,
just to see how much Bannon&Braga have screwed up (er) how things are
going... :)
