1 | * As terrible as the episode was, Troy and Dillan's first encounter with a revolving door in "The Super Scouts" is surprisingly hilarious. |
2 | --> '''Dillan''': (''walks through door, but doesn't get out at the right moment ending up back outside'') |
3 | --> '''Troy''': (''dumbfounded'') What happened? |
4 | --> '''Dillan''': Wha.. I don't know. I went in and it threw me right back out. |
5 | --> '''Troy''': It threw you out? |
6 | --> '''Dillan''': Troy, you don't suppose they got some kind of "alien detector" do you? |
7 | ** When Troy tries the door next, he doesn't fare much better. |
8 | * There were a few genuinely funny moments in "The Night the Cylon's Landed". |
9 | ** The partygoers are asked to describe the Cylon they saw. And they mention the drifting laser light eye. |
10 | ---> "Voom, voom. Voom, voom." |
11 | ** "Andy" meeting human children (obviously for the first time). |
12 | ---> '''"Andy"''': Happy Halloween, little people. |
13 | ** We also learn that Cylons are vulnerable to microwave ovens. Now all the fleet needs to do is pop into a kitchen supply store, and they'll win the war. |
14 | * Starbuck and his Cylon pal Cy get a few, in what may be the only decent ''Galactica 1980'' episode. |
15 | ** When Cy is explaining why his Raider crashed, Starbuck jokingly asks if someone in the three-Cylon crew pulled out the manual. Cy (completely missing the mockery) confirms that they did, but it did ''not'' help. He goes on to show why flying a starfighter by committee doesn't work: |
16 | ---> '''Cy''': We were taking a vote when the ground came up and hit us. |
17 | ** Starbuck tells Cy that the (pregnant) human woman they've discovered is going to give birth to yet another human. His response? |
18 | ---> '''Cy''': I am rapidly being surrounded. |
19 | ** The humor is a bit darker, bordering on FridgeHorror, but... one almost has to laugh at the absurdity of it all when Starbuck's [[ArmorPiercingQuestion innocent question]] reveals that the Cylons haven't given any thought to [[AndThenWhat what they're going to do]] once the universe is finally "organized." |
20 | ---> '''Cy''': ... I don't recall anyone ever asking that question. |
21 | ** Cy also has a very quintessentially robotic PreMortemOneLiner as he [[YouShallNotPass confronts]] the arriving Cylon Centurions to make his HeroicSacrifice. After he gets them to lower their weapons [[CuttingTheKnot by simple instruction]], they ask him where "the human" is, whereupon he replies: |
22 | ---> '''Cy''': I extend my weapon, that I may perform the following function.\ |
23 | ''(Uses his [[RayGun sidearm]] to gun down two of the Centurions, before the third shoots him)'' |
