   The original, and real, Battlestar Galactica never reached Earth and as far   
   as I know there was never any indication anywhere of what Glen Larson may or   
   may not have had in mind for future seasons.   
      
   The garbagised Galactica 1980 did of course reach Earth and it was "present   
   day" Earth (they also travelled back in time to World War II).
