A feature called Conquest of the Earth was released on home video only. This feature was stitched together from sections of the three "Galactica Discovers Earth" episodes and the two "The Night the Cylons Landed" episodes. A scene of John Colicos, playing Baltar, was also spliced in to this release. The latter footage was actually taken from an episode of the original series - Baltar makes no appearance in any Galactica 1980 episode - and is partially dubbed, so as to make the speech sound relevant to the Galactica's new situation. Several early scenes involving Adama and Dr Zee are also partially dubbed, to add more explanatory detail. In all cases, the dubbing is of a low technical standard.
