Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) is growing up. Watching her plan the attack on the fuel mine was great to see. She's been so frightened, hiding behind her bravado, it's nice to see her take some major responsibility. The "double decoy" plan was pretty cool, and the standard trick of cutting away to another plot line when the "secret plan" is discussed never fails. However, on a network ad-scheduling note, cutting from a chilling scene where the Galactica listens to sounds of their pilots dying into a Budweiser ad was jarring as hell. Talk about breaking up the drama and ruining the moment. Another false and upsetting notes was at the end of the episode when the surviving pilots return after a successful mission, they act like they just won the war. The fact is, many pilots died. I doubt the celebrations would have been so unrestrained.
 Some things to note about this episode:

Dig how many women there were in combat! This was true in the original series, too. It's nice to see a military force shown with this kind of diversity.

How cool was Apollo's move, going into the tunnel and that little stop/180 degree turn-hover move when he emerges? Maneuvering in a vacuum, folks. You try it!
