Quotes:
[under the personal command of Baltar, an enormous armada of Cylon raiders attacks the Colonial Fleet]
Count Baltar: [from the command seat of a Cylon raider] This time the Galactica hasn't a chance. Concentrate our fighters on the Galactica's landing bays! Her warriors won't be able to refuel, reload, or land!
[Cylon raiders converge on the Galactica's Alpha flight bay and one breaks through the bay's force field and punches into the interior wall, exploding into a raging fire]
Flight Cpl. Omega: Fire in the bay.
Cmdr. Adama: Danmage report.
Flight Cpl. Omega: It's out of control. Alpha Bay is completely cut off.
[Cylon raiders blast away at the Galactica and the Fleet's civilian ships as the Galactica's viper squadrons fight back]
Count Baltar: Continue leading her warriors away from the main fleet. They can't stay aloft using full battle thrusters for very long.
Cylon Centurion: A word of caution. We too are expending great amounts of fuel in a sustained attack.
[Baltar's raider joins a Cylon phalanx as it shoots down several vipers directly ahead]

Although others have commented that this video is just an edited version of the two shows: "Fire in Space" and "Living Legend", if you watch the original shows you'll find that dialogue from this video edition was edited out. I found this video version much better because scenes and lines were added to it. I would say if you want to see the show in its original version, see the video versions on VHS. They have more to offer the fan than the original episodes being offered on DVD now. Another good video is Conquest for the Earth, which had more scenes from Galactica 1980 than did the actual broadcasts themselves. Overall, I rate this as a 10 because it gives you more to enjoy than what the networks wanted to show in the time slot they gave the producers.
