Factoids
- According to one of the Super Scouts, there are 114 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, which is supposedly information derived from Galactica sensors.

Remarkable Scenes
- The appearance of the new Cylon ship.
- Flight attendant: "Smoking or nonsmoking?" Dillon: "Which way does the plane run best?"
- The Cylons mistaken for Halloween costumes.
- The disclaimer at the end... "The United States Air Force stopped investigating UFOs in 1969. After 22 years, they found no evidence of extra-terrestrial visits and no threat to national security." WTF?

My Review
So the Cylons have created human models. Now there's an interesting plot development, but true to Galactica 1980's style, it's exploited for comical value rather than its serious implications. Indeed, this episode makes for a pretty good showcase of why this series is so hated. It's filled top to bottom with cheesy late 70s / early 80s comedy; even viewing this episode back in 1980 would have been a bizarre experience. We do, however, get to see a new type of Cylon ship in this episode which looks pretty cool. And I concede an extra point for this episode's strangely effective, though perhaps unintentional humor.
