	*Given Glen Larson's expressed wish of ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' being merely "Starbuck's bad dream," the characters and situations presented in that series are considered by the Battlestar Wiki to take place in an "alternate universe" from the Original Series, and separate from the Primary Original Series canon. (''Galactica 1980'' is like J.J. Abrams ''Star Trek'' film in that way, as both depict an alternate timeline with connections from the Prime Universe depicted by its ~~predacessors~~.) Even with this being the case, it is unnecessary to mark ''Galactica 1980'' articles with any separate continuity templates, in much the same way we '''do not''' mark articles about subjects from the [[Re-imagined Series]] or its prequels, ''[[Caprica (series)\|Caprica]]'' and ''[[Blood and Chrome]]''.		*Given Glen Larson's expressed wish of ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' being merely "Starbuck's bad dream," the characters and situations presented in that series are considered by the Battlestar Wiki to take place in an "alternate universe" from the Original Series, and separate from the Primary Original Series canon.
