Maybe it's just the geek in me, but it was excellent work how they "filled the vacuum" when Galactica jumped out causing stuff to jump up to the sky.
And how when they left, there was a vacuum effect. Very fine eye to detail.
One of the best episodes ever, though I still think I like "Downloaded" more.
I don't think that Tigh killed Ellen, I think he just drugged her and left her there for the escape, leaving her on New Caprica.
Also, I love the fact that Adama gets all the praise, and Tigh gets none, except from Adama. Very fitting. I think Dark Tigh has been the best thing to come out of the settlement, excepting maybe Depressed Baltar.
I am a little miffed at the way the plan went. I would think Adama would have had escape pods ready, in case the plan worked, so they could get back and still sacrifice the Galactica and save the Pegasus, which is by far the most battle ready ship. Likewise, Lee should have got in, pulled his Han Solo, and then jumped out again, bought a little more time. It kind of seemed like a plot contrievance, since the show is named Battlestar Galactica.
