Battlestar Galactica: original series — 1x11 — The Young Lords
Synopsis
Starbuck is marooned on a world where the Cylons have wiped out most of the adult population, leaving tribes of children in charge. He must lead them in a daring raid to free their father from the Cylons.
Remarkable scenes
- Starbuck: "Take it easy, will ya?" Centurion: "These humanoids are not well constructed. They damage easily." Starbuck: "At least we don't rust." Centurion: "Silence."
- Watching Baltar play head games with the IL-series Cylons, while corny, was strangely amusing.
- Colonial officer gives rank insignia to someone count 3. Starbuck gives rank insignia to Kyle.
Review
On yet another habitable planet, the adventures of Starbuck and/or Apollo continue. This week, Starbuck gets to lead an army of children against a Cylon-occupied castle. Meanwhile, the bad guys reinforce their incompetence by engaging in endless bickering, shortly before one of their occupied territories is overrun by a ridiculously small army of children. An extra point for making an (admittedly half-assed) attempt at doing character development on Baltar and his Cylon allies.
