Battlestar Galactica episode "The Young Lords"


Episode 11: "The Young Lords"

While on patrol, Starbuck is shot down. He is forced to land on a strange planet. This is already a pattern on this show and this is only flipping episode 11.

Of course, Cylons are on this planet in full force. After crash landing, Starbuck is captured by the Cylons. A tribe of kids riding unicorns rescue Starbuck--no, I ain't kidding.

Colonel Tigh says, "The Cylons have penetrated more deeply than we imagined." Yet, this colony knows all about the Galactica again! They say they learned it from the Cylons. Starbuck actually mentions taking them back to the Galactica.

The leader of the kids wants to trade Starbuck for their father. The Cylons, of course, renege of the deal, but so do the kids. Starbuck creates a rescue plan by creating and chanting nursery rhymes. The kids free the father in a nice little plan; however, I'm not really sure about only one girl lobbing bombs at the Cylons on the bridge.

Ha! The Cylon leader on the planet named Spectre, an IL-series like Lucifer, reports to Baltar that they are all rusting on this planet. Baltar says they can leave after all the humans are exterminated. Spectre interprets that to mean NOW so he packs everybody up and leaves, without another shot. The humans now have their planet back.

The father says, "Our ancestors originally migrated here from the Colonies." Boomer and Apollo rescue Starbuck and go back to the Galactica without the little family.
