Battlestar Galactica episode "Fire in Space" airs 1978

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. 

"Damnation Alley" released 1977

Roger Zelazny's classic post-apocalyptic novel Damnation Alley (published in 1969) was brought to the screen October 21, 1977.  The author hated the film version.  I enjoyed the movie but the novel was much better.  The film never explained why Albany, New York wasn't destroyed during the Soviets' nuclear attack.

Jan-Michael Vincent and George Peppard starred in the movie.
