Battlestar Galactica episode "The Living Legend"

"The Living Legend--Part Two"

Just because I can tally this watching it through NBC.com, the opening credits and music last for a whopping 1:37, then the update on what happened last episode lasted until 4:29.

The Cylons, with Baltar in that weird headgear, retreat when they see the Pegasus. I still want to know how the hell they weren't seen "coming around." How did they sneak up?

Prepping an offensve attack on the old Colonial fuel outpost known as Gamoray, now a Cylon city, has Adama and Cain argue a bit.

Cain says, "As you know, Cylons have no independent initiative. Their control circuits are always centralized." So what, are they like Star Trek's Borg? And does this really make sense with the episodes we have seen so far? What about the IL-series (those Lucifer look-alikes)?
They all figure Cain is planning something crazy.

So the Galactica ground force has Cassiopeia join as a med-tech with Apollo, Starbuck, Boomer, Sheba (Cain's daughter), and another dude from Pegasus, Bojay. The ground force parachutes into the city--how the truck did they get in close enough?? They take out the commnications depot, I guess they do. Just a lot of explosions.

Sheba, showing a lot of stealth, shouts loudly, "Bojay! Bojay!" when he is hit by fire.

The Cylon Imperious Leader is now on Gamoray. This robot is never fully seen on the series as they were supposedly not happy with how it turned out. From one source, Dick Durock, who later becomes Swamp Thing for that horrible USA Network early-90s TV show, is in the costume. He is voiced by the dude who later plays Count Iblis.

Hilariously, from a cheesy standpoint, one of the IL-series Cylons sings, "Uh-oh!" when the munitions bunker explodes.

And I just love how during the mission, Cassiopeia finds a few moments to talk to Starbuck about Cain and kisses him.

Apollo hears that Cain is going to attack Baltar's forces head-on. It's actually pretty exciting at times.

Two BaseStars get blown up. The Pegasus is lost--not blown up per se, they just don't know where it is. Then the episode ends.

What the hell happened to Cain's attack on the third BaseStar? What??
