Presumeably, a more likely explanation is that there were a few Mark VIIs out of service for various maintenance problems. Starbuck does tell Adama that there are plenty of pilots, but no fighters -- that can be explained by reasoning that she's referring to operational ships.
Of course, that doesn't really add up either, because Lee's Mark VII is still aboard. Which brings up another question -- why did Lee LEAVE in a Mark II instead of the Mark VII he arrived in?

I assume you're talking about when Lee arrives at the beginning of the mini? I thought that he was piloting a Mk II for the ceremony, and was told to escort Roslyn's ship back in that same Mk II. So when everything hit the fan, his Mk VII wasn't taken out like the others.
But this does bring up another instance that's been bugging me. When Lee does the Death Star II tunnel run on that Cylon base, he's in a Mk II. So where's his Mk VII this time?

The modifications hadn't been completed yet? Or maybe he wanted to boost the rookies' confidence by flying in the same model of ship as them. Or maybe the IIs were better suited to the ground-attack mission, while the VIIs would do better in the straight fighter-combat scenario that was the diversion?
Yeah, didn't make sense to me that he wouldn't leave in the same fighter he arrived in. What's the logic, y'know?
Lee -
We saw Lee in his Mark VII fighting the Cylons in the miniseries and in "33." Modifications had been finished. Maybe it was out for service? Or, maybe, it wouldn't fit under the fake cargo hull the Vipers IIs were hiding under.

The damage control computer, which could reasonably be expected to control the air and the lights I guess, was one of the systems Gaeta mentioned using when all this started.

I've been meaning to check, because someone I know insists on this, but there may have been a couple of Mark VIIs tagging along with Roslin's ships before they hooked up with Galactica. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a copy of the miniseries.

Ahhh, that's a thought. Tomorrow, a friend is returning me my copy of the miniseries, plus I'm buying the box set, so I'll have two copies to peruse.

Yes, I recognized her. Though I couldn't remember what her position was called... something that vaguely reminded me of He-man and the Masters of the Universe, sure...

Didn't see her either, and I was wondering if any of you had heard an explanation for her absence...
quote: Once again, an excellent episode. As I mentioned, the feel felt odd. I think this episode and �Final Cut� should�ve been switched in production order, as the darker feel at the start of this episode would�ve tied in a bit better with the end of �Home Pt. II�, and the upbeat ending led better into �Final Cut.�
I get the impression that maybe originally they were intended to air in the reverse order. I mean, everyone was wondering what it was with Boomer 2's hand bleeding in "Final Cut", right? It may be an unexpected sequel of the events in "Flight of the Phoenix". And remember when people were wondering "Huh? 'The fleet'? Aren't the Cylons on Caprica?"... well, I'd say now we know what fleet they meant...
OTOH, if that was the Viper that Kat crashed in "Final Cut", well... you sure about the number?

Well, did we see where the blood in her hand came from? I took it as, well, if she's suddenly losing lots of blood, it's dangerous, never mind where the bleeding is taking place...
