I definately rate this as one of my favourite episodes.
I love Starbucks magic hairstyles, the 'clone' effects that range from actors of diferent heights in dodgy beards, to clever fx shots of Brit x3.
Vulpa is superb, and should have been the start of a trend for more 'character' Cylons (not the ropelight head IL's either) but the background story of his exile wasn't included.
And you've gotta love the robot dog that cant be quiet when there's a Cylon patrol walking past a few feet away, but can remain quiet for long enough to stow away on the mission!
Yeah, its a retelling of guns of navarone, but at least it doesn't use stock footage of exploding steam trains in nazi caves, and try to pretend its on the Galactica
One of the highlights for me was seeing my childhood hero Roy Thinnes (The Invaders: David Vincent) Its just a shame he didn't become a regular cast member
