An episode that shows potential greatness but fails to completely convey its story without undermining itself. "Undermining" chiefly concerns the annoying Flash-Forward bits at the beginning of each act. However, for the most part, Starbuck's feelings are portrayed very well. There are some good scenes like the "Two Funerals" scene and of course, her confession to Adama. In these scenes, flashbacks are used quite effectively to tie events together.
Of course, Starbuck crashing on a barren planet leads toward a mildly predictable chain of events for the second part. A pretty good one.
