Summary
A human sleeper ship found drifting in space is brought aboard the Galactica, leading to argument and debate on whether to awaken its occupants. Their ship is eventually escorted by Apollo, Starbuck, and Cassiopeia to the planet Paradeen—embroiled in a bitter war with the Eastern Alliance.
Questions
- Why do the doors in Michael and Sarah's home on Paradeen make the same door chime as Galactica's doors?
Analysis
Notes
- Originally aired as a special two hour presentation. Broken into two parts for syndication.
- The destroyed city on Paradeen was filmed in Montréal. The prefab buildings left over from Expo '67 fell apart in the harsh Canadian winters. What remained made perfect futuristic ruins.
