  • The Colonial fleet and the Cylons engage in a costly battle within the Ionian Nebula, Gaius becomes the figurehead of a religious sect hiding on Galactica, and Starbuck's resurrection shocks and terrifies the fleet. Meanwhile, Colonel Tigh, Galen Tyrol, Sam Anders, and Tory Foster struggle with the revelation that the are Cylons.
    From "He That Believeth in Me" (Season 4, Episode 1): Season 4 picks up where the third-season finale left off, with Starbuck's (Katee Sackhoff) mysterious return unhinging the Galactica crew in the middle of a Cylon attack. Kara Thrace is greeted with both love and suspicion since more than two months have passed since her apparent death. Meanwhile, Anders (Michael Trucco) enters the space melee and has a surprising standoff with a Cylon raider.

      I feel like this is how the other battles would have gone too. The Cylons should have done this every time; jump right into the middle of the fleet, or as as close as possible, instead of hanging out at standoff distance. If the Colonials have defensive technology that can intercept 99% or more of your long range ordnance then why the frak would you hang out at long range firing ineffective salvos at them? It's a no-win situation, because sending flak into the civilian fleet is killing the civilian fleet as well. Those ships aren't armored much, if at all, so all those little hypervelocity fragments would just tear up craft like Colonial 1

      Part of it is framing, but we do see two characters moving toward Tigh in that bit - Roslin and Agathon.
      The former is in part because we see her jump back after Tigh takes the shot, and McDonnell needed to get back to where she was before the shot, and the latter is telling because Karl seems to be the only person actively responding to Tigh's actions. I'm not sure the character would have had time to process that he's the commander now.

That and the flak fired by the ship's main artillery spreads out in a cone when it explodes.

Either Lee doesn't leave all of his birds with the civilians, or Bill takes 20 or so birds to provide top cover after the drop. It's the lack of top cover that lets the base stars swarm The old lady, and are why Lee has to get in close with his main battery rather than standing off and doing fire support from rage, which Peggy was built for.

    Never could understand why Anders was trying to shoot with his left hand on the stick. Is that the control stick or does the throttle have its own “trigger?”
    And BTW, do Vipers have LH throttle control? If so, what was that business with Adama testing Kara’s bum leg with weights at the gym? The one where she had to “apply continuous pressure on the pedal to execute a 6-g turn, otherwise she dies?”

      G-forces are not fully tied to gravity actually. It's speed an inertia with gravity. Even in 0G space if a Viper is going fast (which they usually are) it will take muscles power to not only press down a rudder petal but keep it pressed down through G forces in a turn.

      @@sebastiannelson6355 In space you don’t need to maintain a burn to execute a turn. That’s an in-atmosphere procedure, since when you have air resistance you have to apply continuous thrust or else the air slows you down and you lose altitude. It’s that constant thrust while moving in an arc that induces the 6G forces on the pilot.
      To change your vector in 0G you use RCS thrusters to point in your desired direction and then engage main drive engines behind you. Ever play the old Asteroids video game? That’s Delta V. You don’t need some spring-loaded gas pedal to control that. Two hand control sticks with thruster buttons on one of them will do. When the Apollo Lunar Modules landed on the moon, all their RCS thrusters were controlled by two hands. The main engine only had an On/Off button.

      @@icecold9511 In Blood and Chrome they showed a then-young Adama switch from his right hand on the stick to his left hand. But in that case the reason was he had popped-off his busted canopy and needed his right hand to, get this, fire his sidearm at the enemy Raider above him.
      In another instance he uses his left hand to flick a switch on his LH stick, which has the effect of flipping his Viper around mid-flight so he can shoot at the Raiders on his six.
      Kara does a similar maneuver in Razor, so clearly there’s some sort of directional control scheme for the left hand. I can get on-board with that if not for the inconsistent use of the centrally-mounted control stick.
      Like, if suddenly yanking on it engages reverse braking thrusters, as was shown by Lee in the raid on the Cylon’s Tylium Mine, what control input makes the craft pitch-up?
      Viper controls are weird like that. At least in the old series they made the Mk1s fly like atmospheric fighters. Reverse Thrust was activated by the third button on the stick, not by a motion of the stick. Extra Thrust was of course the Central “Turbo” button on the stick.

    A few questions I have about this battle that I'm not sure were ever explained in the show, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure how every ship in the fleet lost main power just as the Cylon fleet arrived seemed more than a coincidence, but it was never explained. I took it as an act of God preventing the fleet from leaving so the Raiders would recognize the Final Five and set the events that lead into the end of the series in motion. But there was never an in show explanation for how that happened.
    I know jump drives and their tech is fictional, but every colonial jump drive is exactly the same, even civilian and warship variants and all take 30 minutes to spin up after being shut down? So for most of the series the fleet ran with spun up jump drives 24/7? When the Cylons would find the fleet in other episodes, most of the fleet would be able to jump immediately, and Galactica would cover the slower jumping ships before jumping themselves meaning not all drives are designed the same. Surely this would be a huge strain on the drives and fuel, and if a ship ever lost its drive and couldn't be repaired they'd have to abandon it.

Unlike othe shows where space is full of life and activity, here it's a dark, cold, dangerous and lonely place; with nothing but the void within hundreds of thousands of light-years. And when they do find something, it's only a deadly nebulae or an ice cold rock. Add to that being chased by relentless killing machines and the fact that that guy sitting over there may be one of them.
