Although on the face of things this is one of the "Starbuck or Apollo crash-land on a planet" episodes, it is probably the best one. It's Starbuck's turn this week and after crash landing he's chased through swampland by cylons until he is eventually captured. It's a surprisingly tense sequence as the cylons look very intimidating when you only see them from the waist up, wading through a swamp with their bayonet type rifles.
Anyway, Starbuck is rescued by a group of youngsters, including Cliff Barnes's girlfriend from Dallas. Naturally Starbuck shows her some loving, and then sets about helping the kids rescue their father from a cylon castle. It's got a bit of a Robin Hood feel about it, as well as the usual Western in Space theme. But this one is fun and exciting from start to finish. And when I was a kid I found parts of it pretty scary too.
This one is definitely worth a watch.
