Another fine episode!

Starbuck is such a great character! Almost every situation, no matter how grave, is met by a cheeky grin! The playing Athena & Cassiopia at dinner was great-"Very pre-war" to quote the waiter. His getting mugged while hatching a cunning plan with Robber to bootleg Ambrosia was great. And his reaction to meeting Apollo & Boomer was pure gold!

The only thing that annoyed me in this episode was that all the prisoners had appauling 'Oirish' accents!
But overall, great Starbuck episode.

ps- Starbuck's manouver where he instructs CORA to execute a maximum G climb even though it will cause him to black out. In Babylon 5, that manouver is said to be a standard tactic by Centauri fighter pilots in order to gain an advantage in a dogfight. I recon Mr Straczynski pinched it off of BSG!
