Due to her tenacity, she involves herself directly in the affairs of the Warriors, who are forced to whisk her off Earth and to ''[[Galactica (1980)|Galactica]]'', much to Commander [[Adama (1980)|Adama]]'s chagrin. Despite Adama's initial misgivings, Dr. [[Zee]] finds that she is useful as a student of Earth history (she boasts that she was the recipient of a "straight 'A' average" in history, although the Galacticans don't understand the significance). Zee convinces Adama and the reluctant Warriors that they will need her knowledge if they are to thwart Commander [[Xaviar]]'s plans to alter Earth's history by helping the Nazis in 1944 | Due to her tenacity, she involves herself directly in the affairs of the Warriors, who are forced to whisk her off Earth and to ''[[Galactica (1980)|Galactica]]'', much to Commander [[Adama (1980)|Adama]]'s chagrin.

Hamilton agrees to the assignment, as well as accepting her new job as a reporter for UBC ([[Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I]]). | ||
She joins Troy and Dillon in heading back to Revolutionary America in an adventure which is not shown, but that takes place between "[[Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III]]" and "[[The Super Scouts, Part I|The Super Scouts]]". | She joins Troy and Dillon in heading back to Revolutionary America in an adventure which is not shown, but that takes place between "[[Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III]]" and "[[The Super Scouts, Part I|The Super Scouts]]". | ||
Troy and Dillon enlist Hamilton's aid to protect a group of kids, which she dubs the "[[Super Scouts]]", from the Fleet. She first finds out about them through Colonel [[Jack Sydell]] and, when three of the Scouts become ill, she helps them out with her basic medical knowledge ([[The Super Scouts, Part I]]). The children stay on Earth at the conclusion of the episode, and Hamilton becomes a sort of guardian for them ([[The Super Scouts, Part II|The Super Scouts]]). | |||

When the renegade Xaviar returns, he attempts to kidnap the ''Galactica'' children, whom Hamilton has taken to play at a baseball camp where she's doing a story ([[Spaceball]]). | |||
The rest of the time Hamilton appears to be occupied mostly with taking care of the ''Galactica '' children. She is left behind with the kids ([[The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I]]) while Troy and Dillon head to New York, and does not appear in the concluding episode. Again, her role in "[[Space Croppers]]" appears to be as chaperone. | |||

There is also a clear romance between Jamie and Dillon in the VHS release [[Conquest of the Earth (VHS)|Conquest of the Earth]] which uses footage from several episodes of Galactica 1980. The scenes in which Jamie declares her love for Dillon are redubbed with the voice of a different actress. | ||
* | *In "[[Space Croppers]]", there is some suggestion that the kids would have stayed at the farm, and Hamilton's role in the series would have moved away from being a sort of interstellar baby sitter, this inference being supported by two scripts: "[[The Day They Kidnapped Cleopatra]]" and "[[The Wheel of Fire]]". | ||
* Her car's California license plate is "095 IGH" ([[Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I]]). | |||
