Lieutenant Athena Part 3

There were several unfilmed episodes in season one, most following the episode Lost Planet of the Gods. In many of these unaired episodes Athena continued to be a Viper pilot and warrior and not a bridge officer. However, that did not happen and Athena's role grew smaller.

With the proposal for the second season of Battlestar Galactica, Athena's role was intended to increase, but actress Maren Jensen was leaving the show. In the proposed first episode, The Return of the Pegasus, the Galactica is attacked by a large Cylon force hitting the bridge much like the episode Fire in Space. Athena is severely wounded especially in her face forcing her to have facial reconstruction allowing them to recast the character with a new actress. After her injuries, she would become a tougher, edger character. In this season Colonel Tigh would leave and Athena would take on more of his duties.

"The Long Patrol" was the fifth episode of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, originally airing on October 15, 1978. 

Lt. Starbuck, traveling incognito on a reconnaissance mission, is mistaken for an escaped prisoner from a penal colony where the descendants of criminals are incarcerated (and named) for the crimes of their ancestors. Arlene Martel (Star Trek's original T'Pring) plays the sultry Adulteress 58, who takes a liking to the Lieutenant. 

The episode opens with Starbuck juggling dates between Athena and Cassiopeia on the same evening in the same restaurant, and it marks the end of any real animosity between the two rivals as they can both see the humor in the situation. I love how the table linens on the Rising Star match the dining room wallpaper.
