Is there a reference to THE STARLOST on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA?

The Starlost (1973 - 74)

There is an interesting line of dialogue in Part 2 of the Battlestar Galactica episode ("The Gun on Ice Planet Zero").  Leda (guest-star Christine Belford) says - ("We can find another planet.  Starlos isn't far.  We can pick up food and water, and fuel.").  Could the planet "Starlos" be an in-joke referring to the 1973 - 74 sci-fi / space adventure TV series The Starlost?

"Starlos(t) isn't far."  :-)

Christine Belford is one of the truly great character actresses of the sci-fi genre.  This beautiful and talented actress was born on January 14, 1949 in Amityville, New York.  Some incredible but true trivia - for about 5 years (1960 - 65) - from age 11 to 16 - Ms. Belford and her family lived in the infamous Amityville Horror House on 112 Ocean Avenue.  About a decade after her family sold the house, it became infamous as the most well known "haunted house" in the world!  For full details, read her biography on IMDB.

Ms. Belford's many genre credits include a leading role as Sheriff's Deputy Maggie Randall on the time-travel / western TV series Outlaws (opposite Rod Taylor) and she played the mother in the classic Stephen King horror movie Christine.  She has guest-starred on many of the classic genre TV shows of all time including Battlestar Galactica (as Leda in "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero"), The Six Million Dollar Man, two episodes of The Greatest American Hero (don't miss her incredible performance as a vengeful spirit in classic episode "The Beast in the Black"), Freddy's Nightmares, Fantasy Island, Quinn Martin's 'Tales of the Unexpected', The Incredible Hulk, Beyond Westworld, Wonder Woman and The Sixth Sense (TV series).  In the 1990's, Ms. Belford played Ian Ziering's mom, Samantha Sanders (an actress!) on the long-running prime-time soap opera Beverly Hills, 90210.
