Environmentalism at its worst. That element almost totally ruins this episode. It is preachy, predictable, and more than anyone should have to stomach.
Bright points include the accidental bank robbery, the over helpful store clerk that assisted Troy in purchasing the scout supplies, the children throwing apples on the sheriff and his men, the singing sequence while they were camping, and stealing yet another police car. One has to wonder if they kept doing that because Kent McCord used to play on Adam 12.
The introduction of being able to jump higher than Earthers was interesting but inconsistent with the first three part episode. And please, one gets very tired of the flying motorcycles and the constant use of stock footage.
Also, three of the super scouts are Larsen children.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- It's interesting to note that Boomer, though promoted to an administrative type rank of Colonel, is also an active Viper pilot. Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES- Patrick Stuart takes over the role of Dr. Zee from Robbie Rist. Also, he no longer wears the glasses the character wore in the pilot. Nor does his voice echo and sound like an elderly woman. Edit
- This episode returns to the original BSG standard of utilizing similar yet different terminology for time, currency, animals and other everyday items. Dillon refers to gold as "aurics," and there is a reference to "yahrens" instead of years. Use of Earth terms comes only after study with the langutron. Edit
- The air of Earth is thinner than that of the fleet and, presumably, the 12 colonies. This is reminiscent of the Terran colony planet in the original BSG episode "Greetings from Earth." Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Dillon: ( pulls up on motorcycle ) What's all the excitement? Jamie: You....and those....Super Scouts you have with you! Edit
- (Dillon stumbles out of store) Troy: What happened? Dillon: (nodding towards the revolving door) I don't know. I went in and threw me back out. Troy: Threw you out? Dillon: Troy, you don't suppose they have some kind of alien detector, do you? Edit
- Troy : Children, we won't going back to the fleet. You're about to be the first children from the stars to set foot on the planet Earth. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- CHP Officer: How come this never happens to those two guys on TV? When Troy and Dillon activate their cycle flight modes to escape the California Highway Patrol motorcycles, one of the officers comments that this never happens to "those two guys on TV." This is a reference to the series "ChiPs," which focuses on a pair of CHP motorcycle officers. The disco-esque version of the Galactica theme is similar to the orchestration of the "ChiPs" theme.
