- Quotes
Lieutenant Athena: Hey, Boomer, what are you doing in the Rejuvenation Centre? I thought Blue Squardron was on alert.
Lieutenant Boomer: Well, even Blue Squadron pilots get a furlon once in a while. Now all I have to do for the next 24 centares is relax.
Boxey: Wanna play compartment billyarks with me? I'm pretty good.
Lieutenant Boomer: Oh? You're on. And if you beat me, I got a surprise for you.
Boxey: It's a mushie.
Lieutenant Boomer: How's a guy keep a secret around here?
Boxey: You can't with Muffy. I just trained him to sniff out mushies.

Misleading titles aside, this is a very middling episode. I give them credit for trying something a bit different here. And it was nice to see someone other than Apollo and/or Starbuck be front and center (in this case Boomer). But there's little of the "Zap!", "Pow" space opera fun of the series at its best, and the corny melodrama we do get is about as compelling as a toothpaste commercial.
