Battlestar Galactica: Take the Celestra (1979)
Season 1, Episode 20
5/10
Stumbling down the stretch
25 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Plot; Starbuck and Apollo thwart an attempted mutiny aboard a fleet ship only to reveal a deeper and more sinister plot.

The penultimate episode of the original BSG, "Take the Celestra" (Which surprisingly is not about the ship's doctor treating Adama for fecal incontinence) has a stripped down feel that reflects the famously expensive series' attempts to scale back costs as ratings tumbled. The result is an episode with less action than an 80 year old couple's bedroom. After a brief moment center stage in the previous episode, Apollo is once again forced to play Robin to Starbuck's Batman, but even that isn't enough to squeeze any life out of this story.
