TV review - "BG Ep 18 - Murder on the Rising Star" (1979) *** (re-watching)

 Solid episode with Starbuck accused of murder. It's a good chance for Dirk Benedict who rises to the occasion as does Richard Hatch.  John Colicos does a showy cameo as Baltar who is involved in the case.

Cassiopeia goes "there there"... Athena giggles when Cassiopeia talks about tending Starbuck's bruised body so that relationship was done.

The opening spiel for Adama is more "hey we're going to find Earth soon" - obviously a network note. Brock Peters is superb as a prosecutor. Frank Ashmore is also excellent as the deceased. Ben Frank a little more iffy as a possible suspect.
