Trivia: Boxey’s robot dagget (dog) Muffy was realized by having a trained chimp inside the dagget costume. Three chimps were used during the series.
Goofs: Miscellaneous: In Mission Galactica:The Cylon Attack” (a VHS television movie comprised of parts of the “Living Legend I and II” episodes plus parts of the “Fire in Space” episode), Cain sends the Pegasus through a bright starfield after Baltar’s Baseship. According to the dialogue, the Pegasus is traveling alone at this point. However, the exterior shots in this sequence show the Battlestar being followed by at least half a dozen other ships. (These shots are actually of the Galactica leading the fleet through the Nova of Madagon, from “Saga of a Star World”). In the “Living Legend” episodes original form (now available on DVD), the sequence is different and doesn’t show this supposed goof.
