This episode has a lot of high comedy...some from the idiocy of the Cylons, some from the writing itself. I remember hating the song-chant thing when I originally saw it...and I was 9. Now as an adult, I find it cute. Spectre was awesome.
A rivalry between him and Lucifer would have been a great choice for the Producers/Writers. Who knows what was in store for a second season?!
The story was decent enough, though it did have the
already-mentioned flaws.
The young Audrey Landers was beautiful and did well considering what the writers gave her. I get a kick out of seeing her in this role after seeing her in later her days on DALLAS. I always prefered her sister Judy on
BJ and The BEAR, though.
The part where the boys walk between the Cylon sentries as they walk apart and the Tin Cans hear nothing and continue their patrol was too much to believe.
With this one, we simply must remember that BG's audience demographics included kids. This episode was clearly geared towards them, even if the writers did just end up insulting even their intelligence (inluding mine at Age 9).
