TV review - "BG Ep 7 - "The Long Patrol" (1978) **1/2 (rewatching)

 Two good ideas in the ep: an automated viper a la Knight Rider called CORA who flirts with Starbuck, and discovery of a prison planet. I think it was a mistake to have an episode right after The Lost Warrior where one of the pilots goes missing, and then when Apollo goes looking for them Adama has to look after Boxey.

The prison planet was fun even if underutilised and not quite believable - like, the grew up there their whole lives? I enjoyed the ambrosia plot and Starbuck double dating Athena and Cassiopea. They were clearly struggling to give Athena a job on the Battlestar though.
