Or Galactica 1980 to be accurate.

There was an episode, "The Return of Starbuck" where one of the human pilots (Starbuck) crashes on a planet alongside a Cylon. They go from trying to kill each other to working together to survive. Even has the plot points of the child and the Cylon dying after being injured saving the human after they became friends.

Interesting. Now somebody will probably dig up an even earlier script from the 70's. Shermann Mar 2024 #12
