EPISODE GUIDE

Galactica Discovers Earth (Part 1)
Writer: Glen A. Larson
Director: Sidney Hayers

After thirty years of travel, the Galactica finally locates and reaches Earth — but it's the year 1980, when the planet's technology is not advanced enough to help defeat the Cylons. Adama orders the Galactica away, to prevent the Cylons from locating Earth, and sends his grandson Boxey (now Captain Troy) and Lieutenant Dillon to the planet to locate Professor Mortinson, a man they hope can help them speed up Earth's technological development. But Xavier, one of the Council of Twelve, believes more drastic steps should be taken. He uses a time-travel device built by 14-year-old genius Dr. Zee to go to Earth's past — specifically high-tech Nazi Germany during WWII — intending to advance its technology rapidly.
