* This episode contains a few comedic sequences, chief of which is {{TOS|Adama}}'s visit to [[Belloby|Siress Belloby]]'s chambers to try and court her, and in so doing obtain access to her old power generator or "energizer." Embarrassed and nervous, Adama's ploy is only partially successful as the wily Siress maneuvers him into letting her come down to the planet, and to a longer term relationship. Belloby is ably portrayed by Brett Somers, who at the time was famous as one of the wittier regulars on the successful game show ''The Match Game''. It seems the role of the Siress was perhaps created with Brett in mind. | * This episode contains a few comedic sequences, chief of which is {{TOS|Adama}}'s visit to [[Belloby|Siress Belloby]]'s chambers to try and court her, and in so doing obtain access to her old power generator or "energizer."

* [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]]'s attempt at gambling in the casino provides another comedic scene, when Adama goes looking for the lawman of the town and is introduced to the young Lieutenant who was unknowingly tricked into winning the constable's star and assuming the post. | * [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]]'s attempt at gambling in the casino provides another comedic scene, when Adama goes looking for the lawman of the town and is introduced to the young Lieutenant who was unknowingly tricked into winning the constable's star and assuming the post. | ||
*The idea that Adama could not simply order | *The idea that Adama could not simply order Bellaby to give up the energizer is, of course, ludicrous. It is even more ludicrous to think that the Colonials could not simply erase or burn off the Colonial markings on one of their own energizers. It seems to be a contrived way to bring Bellaby into the story. | ||
*The concern over the Cylons finding the energizers is hard to understand. The odds of it ever happening would seem remote, and even if it did, enough time would probably have passed that the Colonials would be long gone. | *The concern over the Cylons finding the energizers is hard to understand.

* Another alien race is introduced in this episode, the Borays, but they get no lines and are largely an undefined culture. Nogow is a bit of a pig, which makes sense given his appearance. This is not an episode that is heavy on subtlety. | * Another alien race is introduced in this episode, the Borays, but they get no lines and are largely an undefined culture.
