- Quotes
Commander Cain: I do know how to win a battle.
Captain Apollo: Yes, but what about your warriors? Are you thinking of them when you take on three basestars all by yourself or are you thinking of history? The legend of Commander Cain?
Commander Cain: You're out of line, Captain! Full speed ahead, Colonel.
Captain Apollo: I just want to remind you that your own daughter will be out there with us.
[Starbuck and Boomer are in the flight bay when they learn of Cain's plan to engage the Pegasus single-handedly against three Cylon basestars]
Lieutenant Starbuck: Tell me it isn't true. Three basestars head on?
Lieutenant Boomer: Is he crazy?
Captain Apollo: A little. But it's what gives him his advantage. Who could think of anything like this but Cain?

Now, the redo has been done, I have yet to see it, but that is not the point, as these FAVORITE CHARACTERS that really do it for me isn't part of that deal.
I pretty much suspect that I would simply just long for this one, the original 1978 - 1979 version.
With the conclusion of this two-parter, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA is well and truly back on track, the flaws be damned, however many of them there might be.
Sheba (Anne Lockhart) with her wet eyes, and Commander Cain, the General Patton of space, this is just a sure- fire winner. With that parachute attack it unfortunately again felt like the time-wasting single episodes that caused a drop in interest (for me) for the series, but out in space, coupled with the human interest... Hopefully this level is going to be maintained!
Like I said, I'm fully aware of every mistake. And they swarm out at you in hordes to put those Cylon squadrons to shame! But despite all that, I can just sit there mesmerized by the glory of it.
