And just got to the "Ship Of Lights" two-parter the other day. Tell me (seeing as my only exposure to the original series are the DVDs themselves), did we ever find out what was in the ship Count Iblis (?) was discovered near that we the audience - and Athena - weren't allowed to see?

Everyone on the show, at least it seemed, got to see what was so horrific inside the ship, but alas, not us the actual viewer. I assume they did that as the "Jaws" factor. In the movie, "Jaws", the shark wasn't shown till near the end. They did that for two reasons. First, they thought it would be scarrier to just have the music and darkness, and second, they had problems with the mechanical shark and couldn't use it until almost all of the film had been shot. If they had shown us burned up bodies or something inside the ship, it wouldn't have been as horrific as what could be left to the imagination. Plus, it's cheaper to film the viewer's imagination.

If you're just at that point, you haven't gotten to what I believe was a much better arc of the light beings. I won't spoil you, but they show up again when the Galactica "thinks" it has found Earth.
