i think that when the writers destroy the pegasus, and they will, it will lesson the show and be seen as a ratings cliff hanger. a gimic to make drama. i don't want the ship destroyed. do something orriginal instead and destry the galactica.

Battlestar Pegasus doesn't sound the same

Too bad the Battlestar Ernie didn't survive the initial Cylon attack.
They had the new Protecter class unmanned Pocket fighters...

RDM has maintained that destroying the pegasus will only happen if it serves a purpose, and not for shock value and he plans to keep Pegasus around for a long time.

Also, everyone that thinks Pegasus will be destroyed because of the original series should remember that Glen Larson had pitched Pegasus' return in the second season (infiltrated with humanoid cylons no less) and then, after the cancellation of 1980, proposed a new series based around Pegasus' escape and search for Galactica & Earth

So I think the Best will survive and what we saw in the prview was a freighter making a suicide run

I just hope that at some point they opt for a story arc that takes them to a point where they find other colonial ships like the battle barge (Destroyers) or (Battleships) and gives the fleet some real teeth. At least one or two more ships should have statistically been able to escape. Perhaps another fleet of civy ships lead by a smaller escort or destroyer could be descovered. There are a few great story arcs that can be written to take advantage of "finding" other serviving humans.

I think they're far enough away from the colonies now that any chance of finding another ship will truly be exceptional. Pegasus was explained because she was hunting the basestars hunting galactica. Spoilers and RDM have repeated said that future finds like Pegasus will not happen.

Personally, I'd like a one-off, non-arc episode about another group of survivors returning to the nuclear annihilated colonies and finding something galactica's SAR team may have left behind in case other survivors show up telling them that there are more human survivors.

I would like to see other survivors as well, but you risk splintering the series. They got back to Anders to bring him into the fold last season, but I think they would be treading old ground.

**SPOILER**

I have seen that there will be a Cylon inside a base-star episode.

Ya, but new Capricca (sp) is a lot closer to the old colonies than you think. It was discovered during a rescue mission to Capricca. Also if a ship jumps, it can jump a great distance. So anything is possible.
