Let’s Welcome our OG Battlestar Galactica Guests!

Glad they stayed on Earth back in 1980

Herbert Jefferson Jr. is best known for playing Lieutenant Boomer on the classic sci-fi TV show Battlestar Galactica. Boomer was one of the best Viper pilots on the Battlestar Galactica and was known for being calm, brave, and dependable during battles against the Cylons. This role made him popular with fans because Boomer was a strong team player and always tried to do the right thing. Herb appeared in various different TV shows, including alongside William Shatner on TJ Hooker. But his role on Battlestar Galactica is what he is most famous for, and many people still remember him as Boomer today.

Laurette Spang is best known for her role as Cassiopeia on the classic science-fiction TV show Battlestar Galactica. On the show, Cassiopeia starts out as a socialator but later becomes a medtech. Her character was important because she showed that strength doesn’t always come from fighting, but from helping and supporting people during hard times. Even though she appeared in other TV shows, her role on Battlestar Galactica is what she is most remembered for, and fans still appreciate her character today.

Photo-ops are available at the Shore Leave Store.

The Jupiter 2 is Landing in Lancaster!

Marta Kristen is best known for her role as Judy Robinson on the popular science-fiction TV show Lost in Space. Judy Robinson was the oldest daughter in the Robinson family and was known for being kind, responsible, and caring toward her younger siblings while they were stranded in space.

Marta Kristen’s role on Lost in Space made her a familiar face to many viewers, especially kids and teens watching the show in the 1960s. Even though she appeared in other movies and TV shows, her role as Judy Robinson is what she is most remembered for, and it helped make Lost in Space a classic sci-fi series.
