The Return of Starbuck Cy the Cylon blooper

Post by GoldCylon » Wed Jan 23, 2008 9:43 pm

OK I was watching Galactica 1980 classic Return of Starbuck episode last night when I noticed this. Now since this day light shot didn't need the eye scanner I can see why it might not be plugged in, but at least try to hide it.

I thought that just moments earlier that Cy didn't have his eye scanner on, so when they flipped to a side view there it was, the plug hanging down that back side unplugged.

I've never seen that the eye scanner was activated in the shots at daytime before.

The quality of my first Galactica 1980 set just weren't that good.

But now, thanks to the DVD-release of the series, it can be seen a few times if you look closely.

Even thou I disappointed in Galactica 1980 I did watch it. I hoped for better material that came of it, but The Return of Starbuck was by far the best. The DVD release to me has been well worth the money I invested in it. The SciFi Channel copy I bought on eBay years ago needs to hit the trash can now, if I can find it.

I've luckily sold my old set through eBay after I've read that Universal will release the series officially.

There's another blooper I've discovered not so long ago.

When the Cylon rescue patrol is on the way to look out for Cy and the other two pilots, the Centurion in the middle (I guess it's the group leader) is missing one of his belt boxes.

Check out the screencap and see for yourselves:

Nice catch, also looks like the guy on the left side of the screen is missing a box cover also.

That was the only episode where Starbuck befriended a Cylon machine, reprogrammed it to help survive together on a desolate planetoid and construct a spaceship from salvaged parts from their crashed vessels so both could safely return home again.

Unfortunately when the Cylon rescue party arrived, CY went out to greet them and tried convincing his machine brothers that he was alone, the humanoid died in the crash. But when they went for their weapons he tried blasting them instead but ended up being cut down in the process, Starbuck dropping the one who shot his mechanical bodyguard then rushed to help but it was too late as CY's functions were shutting offline but before he died he promised never to forget his special friend.

Perhaps machines are not evil as we think they are in SCI-FI television shows or movies such as the Terminators. Imagine what would happen if Cylon Centurions and Terminator Series 800s were sent into war against Terrorism???

From that pic, it doesnt look like they have holsters for their side arms. Guess they were supposed to carry them the whole time.

Well that is a left hand view only, but per the photo I can't see the belt that holds the holster up anyway. It is a deal that if it isn't seen it isn't needed type of thing. Just a guess, but I am sure in the sun in that suit they worked as fast as they could to get the actor in and out of the sun as fast as they could.

What are those boxes supposed to be, anyway?
