The other was when Redeye, a Cylon warrior came riding up to the old west style homested with his armoured horse!   One of the most bizaar sights in the history of TV. 
But a good, enjoyable episode. The shoot out between Apollo & Redeye was an excellent climax. And there was some good emotional drama to go with the action & comedy. But I have to agree with the point made about Apollo letting Bootes die, surely it was obvious to Apollo that Redeye was the only Cylon on the planet? It did seem that he let Bootes die a needless death.

The "jelly bean" scene was indeed adorable! And the punchlines were agreeably humerous!!, but one thing I found hard to digest visually, is the aluminium ten gallon cowboy hats that Apollo doned, along with the resident locals! Yes, a trés bizarre sight!
Somehow I felt, the western style didn't quite fit in with the rest of this very advanced star system of civilization, whose otherwise everyday garb was a fashion inspired by ancient Greek, Eyptian, and of the ilk alike to our own great earthly ancient civilizations, whom also possessed highly advanced knowledge akin to the Galacticans.
Cowboy style pertains to another era, and perhaps beneath the Galactica's universal intellect of all the colonies.
