To me Fire in Space was one of the better episodes of the television series Battlestar Galactica, which aired December 17, 1978. A Cylon kamikaze raid on the Galactica damages the ship and starts fires everywhere. The attack critically injures Commander Adama (Lorne Greene) and traps Athena (Maren Jensen), Boomer (Herbert Jefferson, Jr.) and Boxey (Noah Hathaway) in an inside room.
Apollo (Richard Hatch) and Starbuck (Dirk Benedict) must find a way to put out the fires without destroying the Galactica.
I suppose I liked this episode since the hokiness and campiness weren't as prevalent as in other episodes. It was just pure action from start to finish. Lots of explosions!
According to imdb.com, the episode used stock footage from The Towering Inferno and Damnation Alley.
