Plot: Princess Andromeda is the daughter of King Cepheus, who has gained a victory against the gods. The vengeful god of the underworld, Hades, demands that Andromeda is offered as a sacrifice or he will unleash the Kraken against Argos. A desperate King Cepheus asks demi-god Perseus to find a way to defeat the Kraken. Perseus accepts the challenge because Hades was responsible for his family's death. He discovers that the way to kill the Kraken lies with getting the head of the gorgon Medusa.

Quotes:

Ammon: Oh impetuous... foolish... Ah dear, the young. Why do they never listen? When will they ever learn?

Zeus: Perseus has won. My son has triumphed.::Hera: A fortunate young man.::Zeus: Fortune is ally to the brave.::Thetis: What a dangerous precedent. What if there more heroes like him? What if courage and imagination became everyday mortal qualities? What will become of us?::Zeus: We would no longer be needed. But, for the moment, there is sufficient cowardice, sloth and mendacity down there on Earth to last forever.

Zeus: Perseus and Andromeda will be happy together. Have fine sons... rule wisely... And to perpetuate the story of his courage, I command that from henceforth, he will be set among the stars and constellations. He, Perseus, the lovely Andromeda, the noble Pegasus, and even the vain Cassiopeia. Let the stars be named after then forever. As long as man shall walk the Earth and search the night sky in wonder, they will remember the courage of Perseus forever. Even if we, the gods, are abandoned or forgotten, the stars will never fade. Never. They will burn till the end of the time.

Ammon: Call no man happy who is not dead!

[discussing Zeus' womanizing]::Thetis: So many women, and all these transformations and disguises he invents in order to seduce them. Sometimes a shower of gold, sometimes a bull or a swan. Why, once he even tried to ravish me disguised as a cuttlefish.::Hera: Did he succeed?::Thetis: Certainly not.::Athena: What did you do?::Thetis: Beat him at his own game. I simply turned myself into a shark.::[they laugh]

Princess Andromeda: [to Perseus] In my mind's eye, I see, three circles joined in priceless, graceful harmony. Two full as the moon, one hollow as a crown. Two from the sea, five fathoms down. One from the earth, deep under the ground. The whole, a mark of high renown. Tell me, what can it be?

Ammon: I was partial to tragedy in my youth. That was before experience taught me that life was tragical enough without my having to write about it.

Calibos: Release the Kracken!

Stygian Witch: A titan against a titan!

Thetis: Hear me, vain and foolish mortal woman. You dare compare your daughter's beauty to mine and in my own sacred sanctuary? You will repent your boast and the cruel injury you have inflicted on my son, Calibos.::Cassiopeia: Forgive. Forgive.::Thetis: In 30 days, on the eve of the longest day of the year, your daughter Andromeda must be taken to the sacrificial rock at the edge of the sea, there bound and chained to the stone. She must be unknown to man, a virgin. A sacrifice suitable for the Kraken. She must be delivered to the Kraken at the setting of the sun or else the Kraken will destroy all Joppa and everyone within the city. For the insult you have done to me and the cruel injury inflicted on my son, I demand the life of Andromeda. In 30 days.

Plot: The Battlestar Galactica encounters the Battlestar Pegasus, which they thought to be destroyed. The Pegasus is commanded by one of their most celebrated warriors, Commander Cain. Cain is a strategic genius, but is bent on destroying the Cylons while Adama is happy to acquire fuel and escape, thus keeping his fleet alive to find Earth. When Cain sabotages a mission to obtain fuel, the Galactica and Pegasus are forced to attack a Cylon Base World and three Baseships. While the Galactica stays on to attack the planet, the Pegasus leaves to engage the Baseships (against orders). After the battle, the Pegasus just keeps on going into deep space and is never heard from again. The Galactica gets the fuel it needs and the fleet continues its journey, looking for Earth.

Quotes:

[under the personal command of Count Baltar, an enormous armada of Cylon raiders attacks the Colonial Fleet]::Count Baltar: [from the command seat of a Cylon raider] This time, the Galactica hasn't a chance. Concentrate our fighters on the Galactica's landing bays! Her warriors won't be able to refuel, reload or land!::[Cylon raiders converge on the Galactica's Alpha flight bay and one breaks through the bay's force field and punches into the interior wall, exploding into a raging fire]::Flight Cpl. Omega: Fire in the bay.::Cmdr. Adama: [expecting the worst] Damage report.::Flight Cpl. Omega: It's out of control. Alpha Bay is completely cut off.::[Cylon raiders blast away at the Galactica and the Fleet's civilian ships as the Galactica's viper squadrons fight back]::Count Baltar: Continue leading her warriors away from the main fleet. They can't stay aloft using full battle thrusters for very long.::Cylon Centurion: A word of caution. We too are expending great amounts of fuel in a sustained attack.::[Baltar's raider joins a Cylon phalanx as it shoots down several vipers directly ahead]::Count Baltar: Yes, but we have a place to land, they do not, or *will* not before long.::[the Galactica continues to take Cylon fire as the battlestar Pegasus, undetected by Cylon forces, is maneuvering into position]::Col. Tolan: We are running parallel to the attacking Cylons on their rear flank, but the Galactica's reporting heavy damage to her landing bays.::[Commander Cain studies the main scanner]::Cmdr. Cain: Bring her around sixty degrees. We're going in.

Count Baltar: Burn, Galactica! You're finished, Adama!::Cylon Centurion: [looking out to port] Sir, if I may...::Count Baltar: I don't want to miss a moment of the last battlestar's destruction!::Cylon Centurion: I really think you should take a look at the other battlestar.::Count Baltar: What are you babbling about? It's impossible!::Cylon Centurion: No. It is a battlestar.::Count Baltar: Turn, you fool, turn! He's coming right for us! Sound the retreat, return to our baseships!::Cylon Centurion: But, we have not finished off the Galactica.::Count Baltar: We're half out of fuel and those Vipers are coming in fresh! Now do as I say before they blast us out of the stars!::Cylon Centurion: Retreat. Squadron, retreat.

Count Baltar: I've decided that the city of Gamoray would my seat of power. From it, I will decide how and where I will extend my dominion throughout the star system.::Lucifer: Begging you pardon, Baltar, but don't you think we should first go though the formality of conquering the humans before ordering our victory celebration?::Count Baltar: That had the note of sarcasm, Lucifer. Watch yourself. You're not the only IL-series Cylon who dreams of standing beside the greatest conqueror in all the universe.::Lucifer: Forgive my impudence.::Count Baltar: Hmm...::Lucifer: About that launch order.::Count Baltar: Yes, yes, let's get on with it.

Col. Tolan: Sir, long-range scanners pick up an unbelievable number of enemy craft on their way.::Cmdr. Cain: Prepare coordinates to intercept.::Col. Tolan: You mean lead them off, hit and run.::Cmdr. Cain: I mean intercept. Go through them.

Cmdr. Cain: [over the intercom] Greetings, Adama, you old wardaggit. Might've known I'd find you and your fleet sitting dead on your astrums.::Cmdr. Adama: [surprised] Cain... of all that's holy.::Cmdr. Cain: [over the intercom] There's nothing holy about me, Adama. Except maybe what I'm doing to those golmonging Cylons.::Cmdr. Adama: It's a miracle, Cain. A blessed miracle.::Cmdr. Cain: [over the intercom] I make my own miracles. But have it your way. I'll be aboard in a few centons.::Cmdr. Adama: I'll have some vintage Ambrosa for you.::Cmdr. Cain: [over the intercom] I should think so.::Col. Tigh: Commander, it's impossible. Cain perished along with the Fifth Fleet, two yahrens ago.::Cmdr. Adama: Yes, Colonel, but that's the fabric of miracles - the impossible.

Count Baltar: How long before our fighters can return to defend us?::Lucifer: I'm afraid the Pegasus will reach us first.::Count Baltar: Then drop back. Let the other two baseships intercept the Pegasus.::Lucifer: I'm not sure the other base commanders will appreciate that.::Count Baltar: It isn't a request, it's an order.::[Baltar's baseship drops back while the battlestar Pegasus approaches the other two baseships]::Col. Tolan: Two basestars coming up on range, sir. The third has fallen back behind them.::Cmdr. Cain: That will be Baltar's ship! Plot a course between those two forward ships!::Col. Tolan: It's getting a little sticky in there, sir.::Cmdr. Cain: Arm all air-to-head missiles and bring electronic defense shields to maximum power!

[while on patrol, Apollo and Starbuck have been intercepted by vipers from the lost battlestar Pegasus]::Lt. Sheba: You will maintain silence until we land aboard the battlestar Pegasus.::Capt. Apollo: The Pegasus? But that's just not possible.::Lt. Starbuck: Apollo, do you know who's ship that was?::Capt. Apollo: Cain, the greatest military commander that ever lived! He was my idol!::Lt. Sheba: Your *idol* will order you blasted out of the skies if you don't shut off your transmitters! In case you clowns don't know it, we're right in the middle of a quadrant controlled by Cylons!::Capt. Apollo: [spotting something ahead of him] Oh, my lord. This isn't a dream, and we're certainly not dead. That *is* the Pegasus!::Lt. Sheba: [to Bojay] He won't shut up! He's acting as if he's seen an apparition!::Capt. Apollo: I'm still not sure I haven't!

Cmdr. Cain: [referring to Commander Adama] Well, how is he? How is that old Modocker?::Capt. Apollo: Well, considering a load he's carried since the destruction of our nation.::Cmdr. Cain: Yes, yes, I should imagine. And the rest of the fleet?::Capt. Apollo: Only the Galactica survives, sir. Along with some 220 odd ships carrying what's left of our people.::Cmdr. Cain: My God, and I thought we had it bad. Only 220 ships left from all the Colonies?::Capt. Apollo: Yes, sir.

Count Baltar: What is the latest intelligence?::Lucifer: It is the consensus of the commanders of the two supporting baseships that we should ask for help from the planet Gamoray at once.::Count Baltar: Somehow I find the idea of some base commander on Gamoray taking credit for destroying the Galactica slightly annoying.::Lucifer: We did not do quite so well in battle this day.::Count Baltar: We were taken by surprise! Thanks to your so-called intelligence report! How many squadrons based on Gamoray?::Lucifer: Four complete squadrons - the equivalent of a baseship.::Count Baltar: In other words, we have the firepower of four baseships at our disposal?::Lucifer: That is correct.::Count Baltar: Prepare for a new attack.

Through deceit, the Cylons are able to destroy the Colonies' entire fleet, except for the Battlestar Galactica, captained by Commander Adama. Adama gathers up the few remaining humans left on all the twelve worlds and embarks on a journey to find the mythical planet Earth, the supposed thirteenth colony of Mankind, lost millennia ago when humans first left the motherworld, Kobol. With food and fuel running out, the fleet heads for an ore planet, Carillon, hoping to get what it needs. The Ovions, who populate the planet, are being controlled by the Cylons, who set a trap for the Galactica. The fleet gets food and fuel, and escapes, destroying Carillon and a Cylon Base Star.

Commander Adama: Mr. President, a wall of unidentified craft is closing in on the fleet.::Baltar: Possibly a Cylon welcoming committee?::Commander Adama: Sir, might I suggest we launch a "welcoming committee" of our own?
