1990: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA in STARLOG SCIENCE FICTION VIDEO MAGAZINE (Starlog)

Here's the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA section, written by Mark A. Altman, from the second STARLOG SCIENCE FICTION VIDEO MAGAZINE, published in 1990.

The magazine was the familiar A-Z review format, mostly centred on feature films but with sections devoted to various TV shows.  Volume 2, as the cover (below) suggests, also covered STAR TREK (classic flavour) and BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25th CENTURY.

This isn't a complete guide to the show, just the episodes that were available on VHS stateside in 1990. Unlike the UK, which (almost always) put two 45-50 minute episodes onto a single tape (to give it an overall running time roughly akin to a feature film) it seems that US distributors put just one episode (unless edited into a movie format) on each tape.  Rip-off.
