 In episodes #1.02, "Water" and #1.03 "Bastille Day", the Galactica  crew needs to collect water from a frozen planet, a difficult job  for which they seek to employ the services of prisoners traveling  with the fleet. This bears a resemblance to episode #1.07 "Gun on  Ice Planet Zero, part I" of the original  _"Battlestar Galactica" (1978)_ (qv) where several prisoners with  arctic survival skills are brought in to help rescue a downed pilot  and destroy the eponymous gun down on the ice planet.
