While I covered several aspects of Galactica 1980 in the V3: 1980 bonus (in orbit around Earth, different crew, children, Adama’s beard), I’ve been reminded that I forgot one part – the “watching over Earth and trying to advance it” bit. The V3 crew doing that… scary thought!

So, yesterday on my lunch break, I wound up being Sci-Fi Guy for a little while… I was at the video store at the mall, and I wound up having a brief discussion about Galactica 1980 with a guy who was looking for it on DVD. (For the sake of completeness, since he had the Battlestar Galactica box set and had been watching the new remake.) Then they had these Klingon D7 Battlecruiser models that were marked down to $1.88…

Anyway, today’s bonus: A look at V3: 1980.

Have you figured out which of the three guys on the planet is the robot? (See the complete picture with all three together in today’s bonus) Check the poll on the forum and see if everyone else agrees with you!

There are three new voting bonus pictures up today of guys on the planet. (Here, here, and here.) One of them is a robot… but which one is it?

Thank You to everyone who’s been voting for Station V3 so far this month! If you’ve missed any previous bonus strips or pictures, the bonus archive has been updated, so you can see them there. (And in other site update news, I finally got around to updating the art page with the 2004 Secret Santa stuff I sent and received!)

I was going through the prototype notebook, where I doodled, sketched, and scribbled a lot of the stuff that later wound up being Station V3, and I found some stuff that didn’t… today’s bonus is one of the things in there that appeared to have nothing to do with Station V3. But I suppose I could say one of the Plant’s relatives is in it… (The previous two bonus pictures are now here and here.)
