Hopefully SciFi makes an annoucement soon and renews Galactica for a full second season. I'm honstly really surprised that galactica had a 13-episode commitment to begin with, that's pretty impressive.

I got the impression that fuel was something that they could replenish given some amount of time, either by creating it from raw materials or collecting it from a planet maybe? The mentioned using half their fuel supply looking for Starbuck in the last episode. If that was half of the total fuel they'd ever have available to them, then the search was incompetance on a galactic scale. Something well worthy of Adama losing his command over immedietly.

On the other hand if the fuel reserve was something they could replenish in time then all he was doing was taking a chance that they'd get found and attacked by Cylons before they could build up their combat reserves again. A dangerous and risky decision, but not an insane one. That seemed to be how they were treating it.

VERY MINOR SPOILER:











To replenish the fuel they need to extract it from a planet/asteroid/etc with the fuel in it.

Looks like the fuel is something like a radioactive ore that needs to be mined and refined to be used...

In regards to galacticas shortness of vipers &amp; pilots:

I am willing to bet sometime next season they will do a remake of "The Living Legend"

The episode involved galactica meeting up with another battlestar, the pegasus, and engaging two basestars. Basicly, by the end of the episode (a two parter) Galactica had just about all of pegusus' fighters transferred and it looked like pegasus was destroyed.

The episode was one of the best of the originall series and if translated well could produce a powerfull couple of episodes.

Yeah, but who would play Commander Kain? Lloyd Bridges died a long time ago, and even if Jeff Bridges was interested, he doesn't have the bombastic personality that Lloyd seemed to have in most of his roles. Who do you think would make a good Kain? I've been thinking about this for awhile, and I still don't have a clue as to who would make a good Kain. Since everything else in the new show has been revamped, modified or modernized, I suppose that means Kain doesn't have to have the same personality. But I still can't think who would make a good Kain right now. It will interesting to see who gets cast in the role.
