Based on the white board at the end of the episode, there were only five deaths total for the entire episode (both Raptor crews and Garner). It's possible that just means there were a lot of injured personnel, and is good news considering the entire Pegasus could have been lost. --Ltcrashdown 08:48, 18 February 2006 (EST) | Based on the white board at the end of the episode, there were only five deaths total for the entire episode (both Raptor crews and Garner).

: The real number we'll have to examine is the next episode. For all we know, the casualties (deaths) could still be in the process of counting, since during the chaos of a battle (especially one as heated), there is no way for certain to keep an accurate count. It's best done in the hours (perhaps day) afterwards, when a thorough head count, or assessment, can be done. But yes, it does look optimistic, doesn't it? -- [[User:Hawke|Hawke]] 11:42, 18 February 2006 (EST) | : The real number we'll have to examine is the next episode.

Left moving under her own power, Pegasus not intent on destroying it, probably would have tried to focus on the two still actually attacking it, etc. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] 00:58, 22 February 2006 (EST) | Left moving under her own power, Pegasus not intent on destroying it, probably would have tried to focus on the two still actually attacking it, etc. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] 00:58, 22 February 2006 (EST) | ||
:Yes, when Lee Adama orders "left, full" after the first basestar backs off, I think the implication was that he as going to turn his attention to one of the other two. --[[User: | :Yes, when Lee Adama orders "left, full" after the first basestar backs off, I think the implication was that he as going to turn his attention to one of the other two. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 03:00, 22 February 2006 (EST) | ||

IMO, this article makes too much of the damage/casualties suffered by ''Pegasus'', which in hindsight appear to have been fairly minor. Only five people were killed based on the survivor count - Garner, [[Richard Bayer]], [[Lyla Ellway]] and the crew of [[Raptor 314]]. This makes the idea that additional raptors or vipers were lost implausible. --[[User: | IMO, this article makes too much of the damage/casualties suffered by ''Pegasus'', which in hindsight appear to have been fairly minor.
