Trivia
The laser fire of the Vipers makes a different sound than they do in the rest of the series.

Goofs
As Starbuck and Apollo are landing the Cylon fighter on the Galactica, it is obviously borrowed footage from the previous episode "Take the Celestra." We can see them both wearing the head communicators, which of course, neither of them are wearing on the Cylon fighter.

Quotes
Lieutenant Sheba: Did you ever think about that maybe two people who snap at each other for no reason, are doing it to avoid their real feelings?
Captain Apollo: No.
Lieutenant Sheba: I've thought about it quite a bit.

9/10

Possibly one of their best episodes

Obviously they spend enough time in the writing and production. The acting is well done.

One question, why did Starbuck and Apollo decide to carry Boomer's transmitter with them when they left the shuttle?
