5.0 out of 5 stars One of the better episodes, August 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Battlestar Galactica: Magnificent Warrior [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Yes, it starts off with a cylon attack, but after that it gets much more interesting. Starbuck -- as only Starbuck could -- gets tricked into becoming sheriff of a tiny agro community, Adama fends off the unwanted attentions of Siress Bellaby, and there are many nice humorous moments to be had. Really one of the better episodes made.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, not bad..., December 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Battlestar Galactica: Magnificent Warrior [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A lot of BG fans pan this episode as a bad takeoff on "The Magnificent Seven" (and to be fair, it is), but it has a special place in my heart. Most of the BG episodes portray Adama as an ultraserious-but-kindly monolith of a man. It is nice to bring the character back down to a human level and give him a past that fans can relate to (and speculate about). In this episode, Adama gets to go planetside, mix it up with the locals, and administer a long-overdue hide-chewing...

2.0 out of 5 stars A Dissappointing Episode, February 22, 1999

This review is from: Battlestar Galactica: Magnificent Warrior [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Ugh! I love Battlestar Galactica, but this is easily one of the worst episodes. The best part is the Cylon attack in the beginning where the agro ships are destroyed. Adama's love interest is annoying and the whole story gets bogged down in another "wild west" shanty town similar to the one in the episode "The Lost Warrior". Unquestionably one of the most disliked episodes and perfect proof of how the writing can suffer when a television show like BG is rushed into production too fast.
