For the 3-hour pilot episode
Saga of a Star World
that starts off the epic and
the two-part Lost Planet of the Gods, I have chosen to give each hour
its own episode title; I do this for the esthetic of keeping episodes to
approximately the same length as the weekly ongoing series and to make the
studies a bit easier to write (and read) as segments. I have used the titles of
the Marvel Comics issues of BSG that correspond to each hour. The episodes that
followed already had episode titles, of course, and I will use those here. |
