<P> As well as its parallels to Larson's previous television series Battlestar Galactica, the second season is similar in theme to Star Trek, with the Searcher roaming through space much like the USS Enterprise had, Buck being the maverick explorer true to the style of Captain James T. Kirk, and the serious, rather stoic Hawk being a revamped version of Mr. Spock . Even Wilma had, to some extent, been remodeled after Lt. Uhura from Star Trek, often dressed in a miniskirt uniform and regularly sat at a communications console on the bridge of the Searcher . </P> <P> Ratings dropped significantly after the season premiere . NBC canceled the series at the end of an 11 - episode strike - abbreviated season . No finale storyline was produced, with the final episode broadcast being a normal standalone episode . </P> <Ul> <Li> Gil Gerard - Captain William "Buck" Rogers </Li> <Li> Erin Gray - Colonel Wilma Deering </Li> <Li> Tim O'Connor - Dr. Elias Huer (first season) </Li> <Li> Pamela Hensley as Princess Ardala (first season) </Li> <Li> Michael Ansara as Kane (first season) (played by Henry Silva in the theatrical film) </Li> <Li> Wilfrid Hyde - White - Dr. Goodfellow (second season) </Li> <Li> Thom Christopher - Hawk (second season) </Li> <Li> Jay Garner - Admiral Efram Asimov (second season) </Li> <Li> Paul Carr - Lt.
