Which suited the purpose perfectly for "those who believe" back in 1978. Some have said (not Larson, commentators) that they saw not only Moses Exodus and Noah's Ark in BG, but the parallel also to the exodus of sorts the Mormons made in their historical journey/migration to Utah.


Others around are better suited to spell out the specifics. If you post a thread, try asking in the TOS BG forum.

If Glen Larson cared about his creation we wouldn't be in this mess. For all we know he might be making big dollars off of Nu Galactica. he is listed as consulting producer after all.
