Trivia:

'Richard Hatch (I)' voiced his concern about his character Apollo being so square and Starbuck being the focus of the majority of episodes to story editors Jim Carlson and Terrence McDonnell. They promptly reversed the names of the main characters in the second draft of 'Experiment in Terra', turning yet another Starbuck adventure into an Apollo story.

Quotes:

John: You presently enjoy a protecting white aura. Let your uniform be your guide. As soon as it returns to normal color, look out, you're in trouble.
