Notable guest stars

The first season made itself quite distinquished in that it managed to aquire recognizable actors in the series. Aside from getting Ann Robinson to reprise her role as Sylvia Van Buren from the film, the series also obtained John Colicos from Battlestar Galactica fame as rogue alien Quinn who, while only appearing twice, was no doubt intended to play an integral part of the series as it went on (the character's power-hungry nature and middleman status between two worlds is noticeably reminiscent of Colicos' role as Baltar). The list of notable guests begins in the show's very start with John Vernon appearing in the first two episodes as General Wilson. Other actors throughout the series: Patrick Macnee, Greg Morris, Jeff Corey, John Ireland, Michael Parks, and James Hong.

The series was also the early working ground for future stars. Aside from exclusive Season 2 star Adrian Paul, the second season also featured the first onscreen appearance of (a then very young) Mia Kirshner. The second season also gave more screentime to Rachel Blanchard, who only had minor play in the first season.
