[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3134512, member: 710"] The special effects were indeed top notch. They don't actually show that much scenes, but whenever they do, each scene looks amazing. The scene with Karas mindgame - pure evil. Leoben is ...incredible. The scene between Tigh and Ellen - awesome, bitter. Pegasus going down fighting - awesome. (Even if they also used the cliché of "dying hero ship rams enemy ships") Galactica falling through the atmosphere - pure amazing visual. (and it was a good idea to include that scene in the teaser, because learning the real context and having expectations overblown is part of the fun :) ) Very good episode indeed. I don't agree with others that we are back where we started - a lot of things changed. The only things that are really still the same is that the main actors remained, the RFT is again running and searching for Earth. The relationships have advanced and changed, Baltar is now with the Cylons, minor characters are dead. Very important for the show - a lot of characters made bad decisions or at least decisions that might haunt them for a while. From what it loooked like with Pegasus, they don't really have escape pods (at least not FTL capable ones) on the Battlestar, so they need Raptors to do the evacuating. Even if they had on board - Galacticas destruction or evacuation would have meant the failure of the mission - once the Basestars and the Raiders aren't bound with Galactica, they can shoot down the escaping ships (or nuke the whole city and all ships from orbit). If Galactica had survived long enough to let the ships escape, they could probably have used any escape pods/raptors available and give up the ship. But their job was to evacuate the planets population, they couldn't leave before that. Still, it was certainly a neccessity to lose Pegasus, not Galactica, from a story-telling perspective and they could have played it out differently if they _really_ wanted. :) [/QUOTE]
