Opening narration
editCheck out the following book: Vincent Terrace, "Television Introductions: Narrated TV Program Openings since 1949" (to be found on Google Books). In a transcription of the original Battlestar Galactica opening narration, it gives us "Talteks" and "Lumina" (instead of "Lemuria"). Patrick Macnee must be rotating in his grave. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.17.118.121 (talk) 08:50, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
Battlestar Galactica was shown in theaters in 1979
editThe pilot film for Battlestar Galactica was shown in theaters in Sensaround sound. This really ought to be mentioned in the article. Here is an article on the theatrical presentation of the show: https://www.metv.com/stories/battlestar-galactica-shook-up-audiences-literally-with-its-theatrical-releases Notcharliechaplin (talk) 02:04, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Showing of the pilot in theaters seems to be covered at Saga of a Star World including release info for Canada and the US in July and September 1978 with US re-release after May 1979. The details belong in film article and not the Battlestar Galactica series article. -Fnlayson (talk) 02:17, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
Criticism
editWhat relevance does a single obscure Soviet newspaper article have to anything? It doesn't even belong to a broader reception section, just dumped in the middle of the article for no apparent reason. 2600:8801:710D:EA00:B49A:2A4:970C:4432 (talk) 20:59, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- Good points. A summary and quote seems redundant. I removed the quoted text and moved Criticism section near bottom of article. -Fnlayson (talk) 21:19, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
Air

Toy recall
editHere is a better contemporary source on the toy recall, noting not two but dozens of incidents. (I'm too busy to figure out what should be integrated from it, if anything.) -- Nat Gertler (talk) 13:52, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
ensemble
edit"ensemble cast led by" is an oxymoron, and needs to be fixed one way or another! Guinness2702 (talk) 19:17, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
