Battlestar Galactica episode "The Magnificent Warriors"

Episode 10: "The Magnificent Warriors"

As you can tell by the title, this one is the BSG ripoff of the movie The Magnificent Seven (which I guess itself was a ripoff of a Kurosawa movie).

It starts with a pitched space battle with no idea what's going on. Apparently, it'sn attack to take out the Agro-ships. Cylons took out 2 of the 3. Now they need new seed to feed the fleet. And they just happend across yet another small human settlement to trade with.

In retrospect, wouldn't these Cylons be destroying all these human settlements after the Galactica leaves? Aren't Adama and company actually doing the work for the Cylons?

In order to get seeds, they need an Energizer to trade with, and only a woman named Bellaby has one. She makes Adama promise to "court her" for the Energizer. Yeah, the entire human race is running from the Cylons and they are worried about dates. Even Adama's reticence to dating her is stupid--do anything you have to, it's not like she was a lizard or something.

See here, this is where I just don't understand this original BSG--the settlement knows about Colonial money. Yet the BSG knows nothing about this settlement. The sheriff's badge that Starbuck is forced to take reads in "the ancient tongue of those who first colonized this planet." What?? Then one of the guys says, "I'm honored to be in the presence of Warriors from the Colonies." How does a backwards settlement know more than the BSG?

They have to save Bellaby from the pig-like creatures known as the Borays and somehow fix it so there are no more raids--they make the Boray chief the new constable. After killing and raiding, the humans accept this? Idiotic. Borays didn't even speak English.
