Overview

The mysterious bright lights return again, transporting the bewildered Apollo to the planet Terra to avert war with the Eastern Alliance. Exposing a plan by the devious president, Apollo has Starbuck warn Galactica, which lends the protective powers of its shields to avoid planetary holocaust.

Summary

• Whilst on a Recon patrol with Blue Squadron searching for an Eastern Alliance Destroyer, Captain Apollo's Viper is again waylaid by the Beings of Light and brought aboard their ship.

• There he is told by John that he needs to help Terra and stop a war, The Beings of Light being unable to act, as they have no physical bodies, and what Apollo sees is a projection or representation of their spirit. Apollo is also told by John that to the Terrans he will appear to be a missing warrior named Colonel Charlie Watts, to allow him some credibility during his attempts. Apollo wakes up near Terra, an incredible distance from his previous position, and well outide the Viper's fuel range.

• Starbuck and Boomer detect Apollo's distress signal at extreme range. Starbuck goes to help Apollo, whilst Boomer returns to Galactica

Notes

• The Presidium on Terra was the French pavillion left over from Expo '67. It is one of the few buildings from the fair still standing. It is now Le Casino de Montréal.

• The same stock shot of Le Casino de Montréal in this episode appears to also have been used for the Earth Defence Directorate on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
