TV review - "BG Ep 11 - The Young Lords" (1978) *** (re-watching)

 Yet another crash on a planet episode, this one being Starbuck, but I like this because the concept is simple but effective: it's an isolated Cylon outpost where the resistance is some kids. The head boy wants to exchange Starbuck for their captured father, and his sister has the hots for Starbuck which is good conflict. Spectre the Cylon is a fun character, a little crawler who sucks up to Baltar. There's some sexual tension with Audrey Landers obviously keen to get into Starbuck and a little rhyme at the end to memorise an attack which was taken off The Dirty Dozen. Oh and some comedy with Boxey getting back into bed with Adama.
