It's other alternative for keeping 'Battlestar 1978 out of the 'Public Domain' without making a new production, (as it has been doing for 25 years and counting) is flooding the Internet with its 'Fake Battlestar Galactica Movie / TV Show Press Releases!'

Ever Wonder What Happened to All of The Effects Footage John Dykstra and His Crew Filmed For 'Gun On Ice Planet Zero?'

The high quality, custom space battle sequences that John Dykstra and his 'Apogee' team filmed for 'Gun on Ice Planet Zero' were completely wiped out and ruined due to a laboratory chemical error during film processing.

The catastrophic chain of events unfolded behind the scenes due to the following factors:

The Laboratory Blunder

Dykstra's team shot an extensive array of stunning, intricate miniatures and motion control space-battle sequences specifically tailored to the plot of the 'Ice Planet' episodes. However, when the negative was sent to the lab for processing, a technician mistakenly used the wrong chemical mixture (or ruined the chemical bath consistency.) This error completely ate away and dissolved the emulsion of the film, physically destroying all of the footage.

The Looming Airdate

Because Battlestar Galactica was working on an incredibly tight, grueling weekly tv schedule, there was absolutely no time or budget left to reconstruct the models, re-set the motion control rigs, and re-shoot the lost sequences.

The Desperate Patchwork

To deliver the two-part episode on time to ABC, the production team was forced to scramble. They threw together crude, rushed, 'quickie' replacement effects on a shoe-string turnaround and heavily relied on recycling stock shots from the pilot episode ('Saga of a Star World') to fill the gaps.

Because of a single lab mistake, what should have been one of Dykstra's absolute crowning visual achievements for the regular series was permanently lost, leaving fans an episode that awkwardly mixed high-end ground production values with noticeably cheap , repeated space effects.
