Callback To Battlestar Galactica Reedsy

Being a Generation X'er, I am old enough to remember this show's first debut in 1978, including the movie that was made from the first 2 parts of the pilot, which I believed was called "Saga of the Starworld" although when I saw it in the theater, it was called "Battlestar Galactica Sensurround".

I also remember having the giant sized comic book which had some differences from both the movie and the series, such as the execution of Baltar.  My friend and I were a bit confused by that.  It didn't occur to us that the script had changed.

It is was with this series in mind that I wrote a short story for Reedsy Prompts contest.  In this case, the prompt required us to write an origin story for a notorious villain and I chose Baltar as portrayed by John Colicos.

I set the scene in the cell just after the first Imperious Leader sentenced Baltar for public execution.
