Adama exercises with a pair of dumbbells while the Viper pilots do exercises with just one dumbbell. They must have intended that, right? So, yeah, Birch has taken Hotdog and Racetrack out for target practice among some asteroids. It's all very pretty, but this is like a subplot of a subplot so I'm not gonna spend much time on it. Basically, Birch accidentally clears both Hotdog and Kat for attack runs against the same asteroid. Hotdog blows up the asteroid just as Kat approaches it from the other side, so she has to dodge the debris, and barely survives the misadventure. The FX are, of course, shiny. Then Birch calls the pilots back to Galactica and curses.
Now it's Apollo's turn to visit Boomer's cell. I wonder if they all signed up for specific times. Or maybe there's a line in the corridor outside. Apollo stares at Boomer, and without looking at him, Boomer says, "I know how you feel. I get it." Then her eyes drift over to him as she adds, "But I didn't shoot him." Apollo says, "You're all the same," in a way that makes me wonder if he's auditioning for a role as a serial killer somewhere. Boomer says that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Apollo, in the spirit of scientific inquiry, pulls out his gun and starts to aim. And then Starbuck materializes next to him. Apollo reholsters his sidearm and wonders why she spoils all his fun. He grabs Starbuck by the arm and yanks her away from the cell so that they can bicker privately. Apollo says that Starbuck can't boss him around, and plus she stole a Raider. Starbuck notes that Apollo stole a third of the fleet. I've just realized that, really, this whole show is just an elaborate version of a long family car trip. Starbuck and Apollo are in the back seat, whining. "Her hand's on my side of the car!" "He took my coloring book!" Anyway, Starbuck grumps, "You know what? You have no idea what happened to me on Caprica." Boomer watches from her bunk, thinking, "This is the crack team that foils our evil plans?" Starbuck stomps off. It'd be funny if, as soon as she was gone, Apollo pulled his gun back out and shot Boomer.
