Wow, that was an incredible episode; definitely something that you would never see on any Star Trek show, in terms of the real personal conflict and emotion. Though, my damn cable cut out when

I was worried that after the whole President vs Adama arc resolved and they set for Earth, the quality of the shows would drop off. This episode was one of the best of the season.
Just one question...

That's good - I'm surprised it would be that early.

they're low on metal
so why not salvage all those shot up cylon ships?
stealth viper is kind of cool, but at the same time seems too much "Delta Flyer-ish"

Hey, ever heard of nano-tech? maybe live cylons have nanos swimming in their blood? I mean, if they can communicate and "download" their conciousness, there must be some technology inside somewhere, right? it's not all flesh and bones!

Sharon sticking that wire into her arm was freaky looking.
Nice to see an ep. that shows just how much of a mental toll this chase is taking on people. Great scene at the end with everyone signing their name on the blackbird. I wonder if there's a possibility of a toy made in the future with the cast members signatures? Geek in me want!!
I wonder if the naming of the stealth is supposed to be indicative of the president's days coming to an end soon? One could say that it might be that shuttle that leads them Earth and not the actual Laura.

You could argue they blew them all up in an effort to let the crew decompress a bit. I think the episode did a fine job of showing how everyone had been pushed to the breaking point. Shooting up a bunch of cylon raiders, even if it was a complete waste of ammunition (where are they going to resupply after all) would serve to provide a morale booster.

No, it's all season 2. they are just taking a hiatus until Jan-Feb when the remainder of the season will start up again.
Assuming there is a seaon 3 (I'm sure there will be), it will start in July of 2006.
