Jamie Hamilton doubles as a on-camera reporter for United Broadcasting Company's news program and guide to Warriors Troy and Dillon in their mission on Earth.

She first meets up with Troy and Dillon when she is headed to Los Angeles for a job interview as the on-camera reporter with UBC television news, having just come from the news station KENO in Reno, California. She assists them in locating Professor Donald Mortinson by dropping them off at the Pacific Institute of Technology. After the Warriors are arrested, she becomes embroiled with the competing interests of her new boss, Mr. Brooks, and the greater needs of both Earth and the Galacticans (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I).

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, much to Commander 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 (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II).

After the mission, when she comes aboard Galactica, Adama prevails upon her to assist Troy and Dillon in their joint missions to help prepare Earth for contact with the Colonials, and to locate and stop Xaviar. 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".

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).

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.

Notes

• Jamie Hamilton was a recurring character in Galactica 1980. She appeared in all but the last episode of the series, although she was only in the segment of "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II" that recounted the events of "Part I".

• 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.

• In the scripted but only partially shot episode, "The Day They Kidnapped Cleopatra"—as Galactica 1980 was canceled before shooting—Hamilton again accompanied Troy and Dillon back in time as a history expert.

• It is also hinted at that Hamilton may have been a romantic interest for either Troy or Dillon, but this was never explored.

• A love interest between Dillon and Jamie Hamilton is suggested in the Galactica 1980 VHS release, Conquest of the Earth.

• Her car has a California license plate, number 095 IGH (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I).
