TV show - "Battlestar Galactica - The Magnificent Warriors" (1978) **1/2
Fun, lighter-toned-than usual BG episode whose main attributes are a sense of humour throughout and Barry Nelson's excellent performance. The gang have to go down on a planet to pick up some food - Adama and Boxey come along, giving the story a "the gang's all here" feel. Adama is chased by the man eating Siress Bellaby (Brett Somers, in a brassy portrayl) and they have to deal with some savage locals. Nelson's is an interesting character, a total rogue who uses his rogue-ness for the good of his community. This episode has copped it a bit there out on the internet but I quite liked it.
