Battlestar Galactica episodes "Lost Planet of the Gods"

Episode 4: "Lost Planet of the Gods--Part One"

Apollo is going to marry Serina (played by Jane Seymour), the mother of Boxy. Again--all they are worried about marriage on the second storyline, the fourth episode, after the utter annihilation of mankind?

There is a void in space. No light or stars penetrate. I was extremely curious because I remember this from an episode of Star Trek: Voyager and I looked it up. Sure enough, it is a real phenomenon.

Boomer and Jolly, two fighter pilots, contract a disease out on patrol and then skip decontamination to go to the bachelor party! The entire regiment of fighter pilots gets infected. The doctor says they have to go back to the Cylon-infested planet to find out what it is. So they recruit women pilots.

You would just think, number one, that they have more to worry about, and they just would not skip decontamination.

Episode 5: "Lost Planet of the Gods--Part Two"

This episode is amazingly sexist about the fact that women will be flying the Colonial Vipers. Part of the time, I guess.

Starbuck disobeys orders right and left, somewhat like the new Starbuck. Then Starbuck gets captured and brought to Baltar's Base-Star. He has been given a BaseStar to hunt down the remaining humans. So Starbuck disappears for a while. The rest of Galactica don't know that he is captured. So Apollo and Serina get married in the very next scene! Boy, they sure can put tragedy behind them.

At the end of the void, they find the planet Kobol, the mother world of all humans, where life began, says Adama. And it has pyramids!
They go down to find clues to Earth in the temples. Baltar goes to the temple to try to trap Adama. Fighting happens. Baltar gets trapped in the collapsing temple. The Adamas try to save Baltar but they leave him when it gets really hairy.

Serina gets shot by a Cylon and dies! I was actually beginning to wonder why Jane Seymour was only listed as a "special guest star."

I don't know how Baltar escapes but I would think that the Cylons, if they stayed to research this planet, could find out a hell of a lot of stuff about Earth.

Also, the bloody planet Kobol wasn't all that fricking far away, now was it????
