The on-screen version of these scenes shows the unnamed Statesman portrayed by John Williams as being this exact individual, with IMDB and certain sites identifying him as Montrose, though this is uncertain if this is a canon source.
The on-screen version of this scene shows the unnamed Statesman portrayed by Norman Stuart as being the individual Uri is speaking to about the above scene from the novel, though it is uncertain if this is a canon source. In the novelization of "Saga of a Star World", Sire Uri is noted to be speaking to a Councilman Lobe of Piscera whilst on Carillon about the possibility of settling on the planet.The primary difference between the two groups is that the Twelve in Battlestar Galactica have a mostly political role (with only ceremonial religious duties) whereas the Mormon leadership is unelected and primarily religious in character. Larson was raised Mormon and used several ideas and terms from that church in creating Battlestar Galactica. The name, "Quorum of Twelve", comes from the ruling body of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (a.k.a.But when the Alliance prisoners, along with Baltar and three Borellian Nomen try to escape and use the council as hostages, the council gives control back to Adama ( TOS: " Baltar's Escape"). The council does try to take control again when The Eastern Alliance prisoners are taken into custody aboard Galactica. The council can still make laws and practices but Adama controls the overall actions of the Council. But the Seals were apparently lost over time, and Commander Adama of battlestar Galactica and Lord Baltar possessed the last two Seals ( TOS: " Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I").Īfter the destruction of the Twelve Colonies and the death of President Adar, Commander Adama, of the planet Caprica, is installed as interim leader of The Council, operating under martial law. The Quorum members were usually given a Seal of the Lords as a symbol of their position in the Colonial Government. Each representative, as well as the President, is elected to their position. The Quorum consists of one representative from each colony and is presided over by the President. The Quorum of Twelve, also known as "The Council of Twelve" or "The Council," is a group of politicians who gather together to make up the laws and practices for the people of The Twelve Colonies. * His greatest role, of course, being Lincoln ‘Link’ Simmons in “Danger Island”.Sire Uri addresses the Quorum ( TOS: " Saga of a Star World").
and then a medtech wheels it in on a gurney swivlling it’s ears and yappin’ it up! I’m tellin’ ya, we are cursed!” Otherwise, this episode was really crying out for a post-credits scene with Boomer, Athena and Starbuck kicking back, with Boomer saying “Man, I was so sure this time that that frakin’ daggit was a puddle of molten aluminium. If I’m wrong in all this, I blame the giant radioactive carnivorous cockroaches gnawing at my memory. With David de Lautour, Alison Titulaer, Megan Franich, Paki Cherrington. If my memory serves, the same footage is used near the start of Damnation Alley – Jan-Michael Vincent’s second greatest role*. Blessed Are They: Directed by Anton Steel. I had thought this was from Guns of Navarone, but I was able to check this and I was mistaken. Galactica did use the same clip twice in the episode though. The shot is only for a moment, and stretched vertically, so it’s difficult to make out. One of the brief clips appears to show a railway line leading into an industrial complex and a 1930s steam train sitting on the tracks. I don’t think the stock footage is from the Towering Inferno. I”d normally verify this first, but circumstances prevent me.
