The only good thing was that they still advanced the plot on their search for Earth - at least a little bit.However, everything else about it was a mess. To begin with, this is the third episode in the series in which they're racing against time because they've run out of something - it was water and fuel before, now it was food. It's disappointing that the writers couldn't come up with anything better.Second, if they were going to reuse an already tired plot device, you'd think they'd have tried to do a better job of selling it - I didn't find the need for the over-complicated trip through the "star cluster" convincing at all, and the amount of "Star Trek Science" it ended up introducing into the show certainly didn't help the episode any.Third - considering everything else that's happened so far, the "revelation" that Kat used to be a drug runner hardly carried any emotional weight at all. Two or three episodes ago, we were dealing with genocide. Before that, we've had main characters lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, deserting, disobeying orders, losing loved ones and newborn children... We also had rape, torture, executions, secret tribunals and death squads in the night. So frankly, who gives a flying... frack... that Kat used to be a drug runner? The fact Starbuck the headcase ended up pushing Kat towards suicide was a lot more powerful, but that's not what the story centered on.</blockquote>
