[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I agree, seeing [i]Galactica[/i] plummeting through the atmosphere and then jumping out at the last second was the single craziest thing I have ever seen. Go Adama! I'm certainly sorry to see [i]Pegasus[/i] go, but I think that was the writers' intent... keep the ship around so we're actually emotionally invested in it, and [i]then[/i] blow it to pieces. It's not like we actually cared what happened to it in the original. I also must give kudos to the writers for the timing of the clich�s (I deliberately have avoided any and all spoilers for the show)... I kept waiting and waiting for [i]Pegasus[/i] to swoop in and save the day, and it didn't happen. Then Adama realized the fight was over, and pretty much gave up! Then there was that final pull-back, and I actually started to believe that they might blow up [i]Galactica[/i] and dump their lead character, when naturally, [i]Pegasus[/i] came swooping in. They got me, I'm happy to say. I loved Roslin's reaction to the news that Maya and Hera probably didn't make it off-planet. Great philosophy, there. One thing that I didn't get at all was Saul and Ellen. Maybe I'm just dense, but I didn't even realize [i]at all[/i] that he'd killed her until Snay mentioned it. It makes sense after the fact, given his conversation with Anders before that scene, especially. But it didn't seem obvious (to me) that she'd just died there. A couple of technical notes: I really wish that they'd do a new "combat landings" effects shot; they're still re-using the same one from the miniseries [i]every damn time[/i]. It's getting way too easy to spot. I also wonder a bit about the way that the [i]Galactica[/i] (and all the other ships) jumped out while in the atmosphere. Wouldn't a gigantic ship like that suddenly disappearing create a huge vacuum that would suck in a lot of air from surrounding areas? 'Twould have been cool to see debris and stuff suddenly sucked upwards by the enormous gusts of wind created by the jumping-out. Ah, well. [/QB][/QUOTE]
