TV show - "Battlestar Galatica - The Lost Warrior" (1978) **

First poor episode of BG which has Apollo crash on a planet - something that would become way too common as the series goes on. He finds himself in a rehash of Shane/Hondo, with a lonely widow (his wife only died the previous ep!), her really irritating bloodthirsty son, a township tormented by a villainous crook and his henchman (played by a Cylon, in a nice touch). There's even a repeat of the Shane Elijah Cook death scene. The ep is slow paced with irritating plot holes. Nice shot at the end of the widow and the son talking about Apollo - she has a relaxed smile on her face. Did Apollo get back into the saddle with her?
