* {{alt|Boxey|TOS}}'s confusion regarding {{alt|Athena|TOS}}'s disposition as a [[Colonial Warrior]], as well as the distinction on whether or not a Warrior hinges on flying a {{alt|Viper|TOS}}, is perhaps an understandable thing considering that Athena's roles seem to change depending from episode-to-episode. | * {{alt|Boxey|TOS}}'s confusion regarding {{alt|Athena|TOS}}'s disposition as a [[Colonial Warrior]], as well as the distinction on whether or not a Warrior hinges on flying a {{alt|Viper|TOS}}, is perhaps an understandable thing considering that Athena's roles seem to change depending from episode-to-episode. | ||

* The story focuses on {{alt|Boxey|TOS}} and Muffit, two troublemakers who made their initial mark at the beginning of the saga, always finding their way into the most harrowing of situations. While this particular trope went away, this entry into the [[Dynamite Entertainment]] series plays into that theme, with a look at the world of ''Galactica'' through Boxey's eyes. Indeed, the search for somewhere to play aboard an inherently dangerous battleship, and the realization where no such place exists is a moment of both clarity and a growth opportunity for Boxey. | * The story focuses on {{alt|Boxey|TOS}} and Muffit, two troublemakers who made their initial mark at the beginning of the saga, always finding their way into the most harrowing of situations.

Later, in the "[[instruction period]]" segment of "[[Greetings from Earth]]," a variety of children are seen participating in a classroom setting during discussion of the ''[[Lunar Avion]]''{{'|s}} occupants. Coincidentally, "Greetings from Earth" is the last segment to feature the duo of Boxey and Muffit, barring a nod to it in "[[Galactica Discovers Earth]]" from ''[[Galactica 1980]]''. | ||
