Because a Democrat wrote the story?What the hell Ronald Reagan nuked the Galactica. Why?
The book back-plots him, he's in the helicopter Donovan is facing down in the first scene.To 12/13 year old me Ham Tyler was just an amazing character (actually still is to 51 year old me) and is exactly who I'd want on my side in a guerrilla war! (I always forget that he doesn't show up until V:The Final Battle!)
I remember watching the series and while I'm sure it wasn't quite as I recall, it felt like a main cast member left every week!
I bought the DVD boxset of the first series 15+ years ago, watched it through once and have barely looked at it since. Some of the episodes are fun, especially if you're inebriated while watching them, but it didn't remotely hold up to my childhood memories unfortunately. Original BSG on the other hand did I thought.

He didn't get èlected until Nov 1980
Gil Gerald was fairly vocal about your first point, complaining in interviews at the time that "all the producers seem to want to do is show Buck raising hell with some pretty girl."I had very mixed feelings about the show. I thought it was all over the map. They were so trying to make Buck a 25th Century Burt Reynolds at times. Wilma was great when they weren't undermining her. Good characters in the 1st season if underused. The 2nd season was a freaking disaster, trying to turn the show into the bastard child of Star Trek and Galactica. Hawk was the only redeeming thing about that season and they never quite knew what to do with him.
Not at all. I liked the song well enough to buy the soundtrack album.You haven’t fully experienced Buck Rogers in the 25th Century until you’ve seen the trippy, slinky, groovy opening from the 1979 theatrical release of the pilot.
Is it weird that I kinda like the song and lyrics??
At the back end to issue 4, here's a 2 or three page preview to Galactica 1981, where they show a new Battlestar being built in Detroit.
Imagine the Draconian Empire did span 3/4's of the Universe?
Unlikely.
Imperial propaganda would no doubt claim as much, but it doesn't have to have a shred of truth to it. For all we know the Draconians only actually control a few star systems.
