Trivia
John Colicos became so well known for his role of Baltar, that reportedly it was what won him the role of Mikkos Cassadine for the ABC daytime drama General Hospital (1963) for its Ice Princess story arc in the summer of 1981, and in 1991, he was appearing in theater in his native Toronto, and after performances audience members would applaud him and supportively chant "Baltar Lives!".

Also, the Rising Star brought Uri from his home, which had to be on one of the other eleven planets (the novelization says that he was Leon). This makes sense, as we can see when Apollo leaves Jolly below decks, we see the writing L.S.S. Rising Star on the bulkhead. However, in "The Long Patrol", Athena's computer lists it as T.S.S. Rising Star, making it Taura.

The Gemini Freighter was filled with Gemons who followed Gemon religions and spoke Gemonese. It left Gemini during the exodus. However, in "Murder on the Rising Star", Cella says that both were on Caprica during the attack.

Quotes
Opening Credit Announcer: There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe... with tribes of humans... who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians... or the Toltecs... or the Mayans. Some believe there may yet be brothers of man... who even now fight to survive - somewhere beyond the heavens!

Q
What happens to the characters in the end?
A
In Galactica 1980 we see that Adama, Boomer and Boxey are all still alive, Boxey grown to manhood and now known as Troy, Boomer now having taken over Colonel Tigh's role as second in command of the Galactica. Starbuck is last seen marooned on a desolate planet roughly a decade ago and although he has a Cylon ship to escape in he does not rejoin the fleet before it reaches Earth. The fate of all the other characters is left unknown although Troy looks at a picture of Apollo and refers to him in the past tense implying that he has died in the intervening years. At the end of Galactica 1980 the fleet secretly unloads it's population onto Earth, blending in with contemporary human society then draws the pursuing Cylons away from their new home
