I like the Jackson replacement. And its referred to as Far-Gate because of Ben Bowder and whats her name.
About atlantis, the nuke they set off over the city, what do you think the fall out is going to do to the people that live on the main land of the planet?
As to Jump Spots, well FTL is not like mapping a route to the park. They could not extrapulate the jump distance and location from their new location. There is a certain degree of random drift that requires them to update coordinates. The fleets coordinates were not updated so they jumped to an entirely differant location than Galactica. The only way to find them was to return to point of origin, recalculate the jump and jump. There is a lot of real world physics involved. Moore is no dummy when it comes to covering his bases on the science of things.
To me it adds a degree of realism to the show that was sworely lacking in all of the ST series say for TOS. BSG is a great series thus far, and all I have read are good post about the show.
