The fear of Muffet is so hilarious

Rory OToole

The actor who played the main criminal/husband was portrayed by Roy Thinnes. He had previously starred in the 1967 TV series The Invaders. It's a very good series about an architect who finds out Earth is being infiltrated by invading aliens and is on the run while trying to warn everyone.

Two-parters were a common thing in the mid to late 70s - don't know why. Almost every series had a couple every year. I remember reading how expensive this show was to make and hearing how this was the future because everyone expected Star Wars level effects. The series was wildly popular with the 8-15 year old crowd - I was 12/13 at the time and this show along with the 6 Million $ Man/ Bionic Woman & Wonder Woman were the main events of the week in 1978. You guys might want to try out the old 70s Wonder Woman.

This story was actually the second in production order (with some additional scenes filmed later). It was originally planned as a TV-movie, before ABC decided to order a weekly series instead, so the pacing suffers a little from being split into two parts. It's probably my least favorite of the 2-parters due to the pacing issues. At first the plan was that Baltar would be killed in the premiere and Vulpa (the gold/bronze Cylon) would be the recurring villain. Fortunately, someone decided Baltar should live because a human villain would be better for a weekly series... so Baltar was spliced in later.

There were certainly more than the usual number of two-parters in Battlestar Galactica than other series, even for late 1970's. I don't know why they did that, unless they thought it was an added hook to keep people tuning in from week to week (because this was even before VCR recording was commonplace). The two-parters vary in quality as much as the stand-alone episodes, which is to say it is a mixed bag. There is a two-parter about half-way through the season that is especially memorable and should be fun to watch, but the rest tend to be rather so-so.

I forget what happens in part 2 but did you notice how Starbuck was on the Bridge with Boomer after they returned and had a haircut which he also had in the previous episode. Then suddenly as he was talking with the guy about the female Viper pilots and ordered him to go had really long hair selected the prisoners to show up on Athena's monitor and instantly he was there on the Bridge with short hair and then warned about who was on that list so someone obviously was impersonating him to get those people chosen. The only odd thing with that is we see the "real" Starbuck with long hair again with Boomer then back to short. I don't believe the haircut is supposed to indicate who is the doppelganger between the 2 simply when these scenes were shot depending on when he got his haircut. The female clone 4 years earlier was in Roger Moore's James Bond 007 second film The Man with the Golden Gun in 1974 as MI6 Agent Goodnight for reference for fellow Bond fans. Also all the other criminal actors as well as the male clone all played various roles especially villains across a wide array of 1970s Universal hit TV shows. One of them played the medical Doctor in the 1971 classic film The Andromeda Strain.
