Re: BG-17: Hand Of God
Indeed I've seen the re-edits. Gives the Galactica bigger teeth if you will with those lasers that fire forward into the Basestar.
If only the entire series could be done that way but that's for another story.

Re: BG-17: Hand Of God
Yes. The bean-counters at ABC robed us of what could have been.

Depending on the fuel supply...

Re: BG-17: Hand Of God
Hand of God was the perfect end to a series like Galactica on the brink of cancellation. Don is to be commended, and I followed his stuff (Airwolf, Magnum...) with joy.

Re: BG-17: Hand Of God
Watched this (final) episode yet again, with a studious eye. Just so well edited to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together. The camera angles on the ladder in the base ship core, when Apollo and Starbuck were entering (and exiting) were almost POV - great !!
It seemed like all the scenes tightened up, and heightened the tension as the episode went on - to reach the final destruction of the base star. It had a completely different flavor & tone from all the other previous episodes. The conversation on the Cylon fighter between Sheba & Apollo - Sheba just completely unloaded her guns on him and it was so raw, like laying open a fresh wound.
The gamma transmission of the moon landing - can you imagine if the Colonials had seen the whole thing, from the start, and the word "Apollo" came across the air - gosh, where would you go with that storyline, folks ??
This (final) episode gave us everything - appetizer, entree and dessert. Only we didn't realize that while we were eating the final course, the restaurant was closing permanently. So unfair, but I do agree with the consensus of the fans here that the second season script ideas were...choosing poorly.

Re: BG-17: Hand Of God
Well, they never would have heard "Apollo" in the transmission since the conversations were always addressed to either "Columbia" (the command module) or "Eagle" (the LEM. You can even hear "Eagle" in the audio in the scene where Boomer plays it back) but I get your point. 
The episode to me is absolutely flawless in terms of execution. There was one deleted scene I wish had stayed in where Apollo muses at one point before they leave, "I kind of hoped I'd see Sheba again" because that proves beyond any doubt that she's made an impact on him (we could have sacrificed all the extra giggling at Boomer's expense when he gets awaken to make room for that IMO)

Re: BG-17: Hand Of God
Eric, quite true it was "Columbia" and "Eagle" throughout the lunar mission - I guess I was musing that it would be an interesting storyline to pursue, as you understood.
I've also watched the deleted scenes, of course, and I agree that line was very important to include - to the point that I am working it into my story.
