Battlestar Galactica: Exodus, Part 2

DAMN

Nothing more to say about that. Nothing more need be said.

Except for one thing.



Maybe I missed something. But from what I understand, the fleet had two Battlestars: the Galactica, an older ship that was being converted to a museum as the series started, and the Pegasus, a current model ship of the line. Were I in charge, Pegasus would have carried out the rescue mission. Send the better armed and equipped ship to do the job, leaving Galactica to shepherd the fleet. Admittedly, they both became involved, but I feel that losing Pegasus was a bigger blow that anyone realizes.

Galactica was more expendable mainly because Pegasus was more capable of defending the remants of the civilian fleet including having its own Viper factory, which I hope was off loaded before she died.

Also she was more automated, with much bigger main batteries, making it easier for her to make a death ride without losing too many crew.

The episode really showed the utility of a jump drive that does not have a 100 diameter limit.

The 100d limit is for *safe* jumps. I've seen characters make some insane jumps in my time.

Oh, me too.

We used to call it "The Infinite Improbability Drive!"

However in atmosphere jumps seem to be more common place in BSG land.

They seemed confident they were all going to the same place.
