Storyline

The Galactica again falls under Cylon attack, but this time, the Cylons have a new strategy. Instead of firing on the ship, they fly their ships into it. This kamikaze attack sets the Galactica ablaze, trapping many crew members, including Athena, Boomer, and Boxie. The initial impacts also critically injured Adama, whose life is now hanging in the balance. Can the crew put out the fire and save the Galactica, and will Adama survive to command it?

Goofs

When the Cylon raider collides with the bridge, we see a wide shot with Adama collapsing. The glass map completely shatters and falls in the background. In the next shot, we see a closeup of the same map collapsing. See more »

Quotes

Capt. Apollo: Hold it, I have an idea. We could replace the turbo lasers in three or our vipers with megapressure pumps from the damaged energizer, fill them with boraton and connect them to the firing mechanism.
Col. Tigh: It would be like a strafing run.
Capt. Apollo: Exactly! With three of us making continous runs, we could flood that bay with boraton!
