Just watched this one last night. CORA wasn't as annoying as I remembered but I was not quite five when I first fell for BSG back in '78-I even still have my Mattel toys.

At the end, when Starbuck corrects Boxy's map drawing, I sighed with annoyance how that clearly called for further investigation of what the map was or any other "history" which might have shed light on the 13th tribe. Also viewers saw what appeared to be a very old Viper design (noticed Larson reused the joystick in Buck Rogers). Unfortunately that opportunity to learn more about the early centuries of the war and Colonial history that was lost for the viewers. That's an opportunity for depth that could have been mined in return to the Galactica universe or storyline. Sadly, the moved out of there fast at the end of the episode.

This is a great one hour episode and good Starbuck feature.
