i be a fan of this generally excellent though sometimes rather dull show but season 3 have take some terrible plot direction . the episode hero be an example of what i mean . the story a it eventually unravel be that the cylons deliberately allow bulldog a pilot capture several year earlier during a black ops mission to escape and steal a cylon ship and get back to galactica . the plan be that when bulldog get back he will figure out that adama leave him to his fate and be so enraged that he will kill adama and which he very nearly do . now the problem be this the cylons set it up so that bulldog think he have escape by himself . this mean that bulldog get off the cylon ship with no assistance . so he kill a cylon and walk out of his hold cell that much we see . then and we must suppose that he walk to the flight hangar and manages to get into a cylon fighter ship and learn how to operate it and take off and fly back to galactica . just like that . now starbuck manage to get one of them work in season one and which be barely believable in itself and but she only have to fly it visually out of orbit before make contact with galactica . bulldog have to programme his ship so that it make several jump through hyperspace and manages to catch up with galactica somewhere thousand of light year away and in an unknown direction . how do he manage to programme a ship that contain completely alien technology . cylons connect to their computer by touch and there be no visual console or keyboard . and have manage that miraculous feat and how do he then know where galactica be and bear in mind that galactica take off some 3 year before and be try ever since to evade the cylons it do not leave beacon behind . even allow for the suspension of disbelief that must apply to any sci fi show and this episode still absolutely no sense whatsoever .
