I'm going to have to re-watch this episode. I don't have a clear recollection of it right now, other than I was impressed by the performance of Paul Fix as the renegade Commander Kronus.

Actually, when you come to think of it, beyond being wonderful and engaging sci-fi, Battlestar: Galactica gave us the opportunity to see in distinctly unique roles peformances by some very fine and famous guest stars: In the case of this episode, Paul Fix as Kronus, and in other episodes Lloyd Bridges as Cain, Anne Lockhart as Sheba, John Colicos as Baltar, Lew Ayres as President Adar, Lloyd Bochner as Commandant Leiter, the leader of the Eastern Alliance, Patrick McNee as Count Iblis (and the voice of the Cylon Imperious Leader / Narrator of the opening monologue), Jonathan Harris as the voice of the IL-series Cylon Lucifer, and -- in what I think was a stroke of GENIUS -- the wonderful and legendary Fred Astaire as Chameleon (aka, Starbuck's father!).
