The fleet is facing a fuel shortage; the only possible relief comes from an active and heavily armed Cylon fuel refinery. Adama decides to launch an offensive against the base. This puts Lee on the spot since not everyone believes that he's up to the challenge of leading the assault. Baltar, the resident "Cylon expert," makes a guess that could put the entire mission in jeopardy if he's wrong.

***This review details –» this is a "I" perspective, based in what I like and recognize to be good or interesting, this is not a "god" where the guy thinks what he thinks is the true or the "you" perspective where I know what you will like and what you don´t.***
In this episode, things turn out to be more interesting, since our characters have a great problem and they have to overcome it or they are simple screwed. There are some interesting hints through this episode and even if this episode didn´t focus on Apollo, the writers tied the main cast very well to the situation. Helo situation still on running mode, but now is seen something that he shouldn´t see, maybe the payoff it´s close?

With the lose of fuel, Galactica prepares a mission to get fuel from the Cylons in an action-packed, emotional rollercoaster! hide show
Probably the best episode yet. I've given 3 episodes 9.5's so far. It's not something I usually do. All these episodes deserve it. This episode, especially. Probably the best one yet! Very action-packed, the song "The Good Lighter", composed by Bear McCreary is simply fantastic and goes with the story so very well! Bravo! The action sequence is without a doubt the best one yet. I was in awe during that. The plan and slow build up was exceptionally well done and the payoff was incredible. Just a brilliant episode. Not much more to say. Almost a 10.
9.5/10. It's an A. It's a frakking A.
The fleet is running out of fuel ... they find a suitable asteroid ... but it's populated by Cylons. They have to decide whether to leave and search for another fuel source or attack hide show
I absolutely loved this episode. Although, I gotta admit that any episode with a lot of inter-stellar fight scenes, I will more than likely enjoy.
I loved the line ... "sometimes, when facing a bully, you gotta turn to him and uppercut him in the stomach". Finally the humans fight back!
Before this episode, we'd only seen a whole bunch of running, panicking, being deceived, and more running away.I was struggling to see how these humans had been such a strong force in the galaxy and how they'd managed to survive the first Cylon wars.
This is the first episode where the true human, never give-up, unrelenting nature shines through. After all, I think, along with the ability to love, this is the greatest quality that humans have, amongst many many flaws. So, I'm glad that they've finally shown it (Not that I was worried they wouldn't show it - nobody would watch the show, if the end game was to show our as*es handed to us by the Cylons on each episode)
All in all ... a great episode. Probably the best so far.
Great action packed episode hide show
I liked this episode much better than previous one - first the new crises - the fuel. Maybe it was very similar to the water crise they had but they took the episode in totally different side - they are going to fight with Cylons in order to get their fuel and for that, they need a crazy plan and Starbuck is good with it but they do not let her fly because she is still injured and we have that tension trough the episode - will Apollo manage it or is Strabuck too implacable..
And the whole back door thing with that plan - added much excitement.
You want battles? We got your battles right here. hide show
This is one awesome episode! One of the many downsides about being a fleet on the run and under constant pursuit is that supplies run out. Especially food and fuel. The Cylons aren't stupid. They know this. One of the best thins they can do to catch Adama and his fleet is to anticipate, find, stake out, or even take over any and all resources the Colonials will need to survive. When the holocoust happened, most every ship in the fleet was in transit to one destination or another, taken by surprise with no chance to re-fuel, and has jumped away from the Cylons hundreds of times since the attack... using up vast amounts of remaining fuel in the process. The fleet's fuel is in danger of running out. Boomer and Crashdown's Raptor patrol runs into an asteroid rich in Tillium fuel along with a refinery... crawling with Cylons. They have two choices. Make another jump..on the slim chance of finding another source, which the Cylons will most likely have taken control of as well. Or they can do the unthinkable, and take the fuel from the Cylons by force. Crazy plan, right? So..who ya gonna call? The craziest pilot in the fleet is also the best pilot in the fleet. Adama approaches Kara for a plan..which she has. Now... Kara does not trust any other pilot but herself to pull off her own ops. However, Kara is still recovering from having her kneecap shattered (You Can't Go Home Again), and cannot pull off the maneuvers for this one. Lee will have to fly in her stead. Lee tells Kara that he WILL get this one done, but the truth is.. he's very worried that, in this case..not being as crazy as Starbuck might just get him killed. Adama reassures him of the faith he has in him. "You're my son", he tells him. Kara, not leading her squadren for the first time in combat, is going crazy just sitting on the sidelines. Both Bamber and Sackhoff are awesome to watch as they explore , come to terms with, and eventually overcome their insecurities with the almost impossible task at hand. It's also great to see Father and Son moving closer together again. I love the moment when he gives Lee his Grandfather's good luck lighter. Lee tells his Father.." I'll bring it back." Adama replies, "You'd better, or I'll kick your ass. It's a good lighter. " It seems head Six has finally made progress in convincing the slightly insane Gaius that he is an instrument of God. I don't know how much money they poured into this episode, but the effects and battle shots are nothing short of breathtaking! Apollo does find his "beyond insane" side, and performs a maneuver that would probably make Starbuck soil her panties. But he gets the job done, and tosses the lighter back into his Fathers hands. This is the first indication that Laura Roslin's Kamala induced halucinations have to ties to the prophesies of Pythia, which truly begin the search for the REAL Earth. On Caprica, Sharon has her first bout of morning sickness, and Helo sees another Six, which will start him on the path of learning the truth about the woman he's with.
