Hey now, I'm quite familiar with the original series. Age has nothing to do with it - that's what the internet is for
Everything on Earth was
Galactica 1980, also known as season 2. The true original
Battlestar Galactica had only one season and they never found Earth. It got canceled, and then brought back with a smaller budget (they reused all the effects shots from the first season) and with them suddenly having found Earth because the network was sick of spaceships.
As for the Egyptians, I wasn't talking about a specific episode, I was talking about the voiceover that was at the beginning of
every episode:
Quote:

There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. That they may have been the architects of the great pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria or Atlantis. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive somewhere beyond the heavens...

Anyway, I don't even think the current BSG writers did it because the original BSG had the same concept. The point is simply that it is a concept which is not uncommon and predates Hitchhiker's Guide, that's all.

Well, except for being initially shocked when Kara disappeared. I actually just thought it felt right. Lee turned around, she was gone, and like Lee I just thought... "OK... I get it... that makes sense."
