	*Based on the ''[[Colonial One]]'' whiteboard seen toward the end of the episode, only five people died as a result of the ambush on ''Pegasus'': [[Richard Bayer\|Richard "Buster" Bayer]], [[Lyla Ellway\|Lyla "Shark" Ellway]], the unnamed crew of [[Raptor 314]], and Commander [[Barry Garner]].		*Based on the ''[[Colonial One]]'' whiteboard seen toward the end of the episode, only five people died as a result of the ambush on ''Pegasus'': [[Richard Bayer\|Richard "Buster" Bayer]], [[Lyla Ellway\|Lyla "Shark" Ellway]], the unnamed crew of [[Raptor 314]], and Commander [[Barry Garner]].
	**This casualty figure is conspicuously low, considering that ''Galactica'' lost 85 crewmen as the result of a hit by a single nuclear missile in the [[Miniseries]], while ''Pegasus'' is hit with no less than three in this episode.		**This casualty figure is conspicuously low, considering that ''Galactica'' lost 85 crewmen as the result of a hit by a single nuclear missile in the [[Miniseries]], while ''Pegasus'' is hit with no less than three in this episode.
	**On the other hand, it is consistent with the also surprisingly low number of casualties incurred in the [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship]], and may indicate that the hull armor on ''Pegasus'' is significantly stronger than on ''Galactica'', which has many conspicuously bare structural ribs.		**On the other hand, it is consistent with the also surprisingly low number of casualties incurred in the [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship]], and may indicate that the hull armor on ''Pegasus'' is significantly stronger than on ''Galactica'', which has many conspicuously bare structural ribs.
	**A large number of the casualties ''Galactica'' incurred were due to the firefighting crews failure to use breathing gear when Tigh ordered the flight pod vented. However, based on dialogue in this episode, it appears that the ''Pegasus'' firefighting teams did take this precaution.		**A large number of the casualties ''Galactica'' incurred were due to the firefighting crews failure to use breathing gear when Tigh ordered the flight pod vented.

	* It seems clear now that the Cylons are again shadowing the Fleet. They are doing so accurately enough to vector three basestars onto ''Pegasus''. However, as explained in "[[Scar]]", they are afraid to engage the Fleet directly because the Resurrection Ship was destroyed. In the past, one basestar was willing to simply wade into ''Galactica'' and its Vipers, but now they resort to both a sneak attack/trap, and ganging up on a battlestar using superior numbers. With regard to the Cylons' jump accuracy, keep in mind that it was the Cylons who set up the trap; therefore, it stands to reason that they knew exactly where to jump. In no way does this support a theory that the Cylons want the Fleet to survive, and further, [[Ron Moore]] has repeatedly stated that the Cylons are not doing that and truly want to destroy the Fleet (at least, before the Season 2 finale).		* It seems clear now that the Cylons are again shadowing the Fleet.

	*In the course of this episode, Lee Adama rises from the rank of Captain (CAG of ''Galactica'') to Major (No details are given on that posting except Adama was assigned to ''Pegasus''), to Commander and CO of ''Pegasus'' in the wake of Commander Garner's death saving his ship.		*In the course of this episode, Lee Adama rises from the rank of Captain (CAG of ''Galactica'') to Major (No details are given on that posting except Adama was assigned to ''Pegasus''), to Commander and CO of ''Pegasus'' in the wake of Commander Garner's death saving his ship.
	**Major Adama's duty was intended as a temporary stint as ''Pegasus'' acting XO, in order to support Garner and evaluate the performance of the ''Pegasus'' crew. In the opening scene, he tells Anastasia Dualla that he expects to return to ''Galactica'' "in a couple of weeks".		**Major Adama's duty was intended as a temporary stint as ''Pegasus'' acting XO, in order to support Garner and evaluate the performance of the ''Pegasus'' crew.

	**The aired episode leaves the nature of Apollo's assignment somewhat open. One could think that he is officially ''Pegasus'''s XO. However, Garner doesn't consider him part of the crew. Moreover, according to a [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)#The Captain's Hand\|deleted scene]], his father sends him there over concerns about Garner and the performance of the crew, while being undecided on whether to make him the ship's XO or not.		**The aired episode leaves the nature of Apollo's assignment somewhat open.
