~With thier numbers greatly reduced thanks to marcus' inabilty to count ,winfield reasons that thier only hope now lies with the pirate clans .Marsh is given the task of getting thier alliengace .Easier said than done i imagine

Omg! This is an amazing episode. It really highlights the tone of the series. The conflicts between officers and the differing opinions on the right way to lead the fleet adds a lot of realism to this show. This episode almost makes you forget that you're watching a cartoon as you are able to feel sympathy for some of the characters. Admiral Winfields character really shines in this episode and shows just how much humility he really has going as far as to support the mutinous Captain Marcus. And then there's the fantasic and ill fated battle between the exo-fleet and the neos all the while J.T. Marsh, who is left for dead by Marcus, is planning what seems to him a one way mission designed solely just to slow down the neos on Mars. His leadership quality and character also shines in this episode and you feel a great deal of emotion knowing that Marsh is willing as is his squad to sacrifice themselves all in the name of humanity to win the war. Their unselfish devotion to each other and the war really adds heart.



This episode also solidifies Marsh's good standing with Winfield as you can see both of their stories unfolding in parallel to each other as they struggle for good. The scene in which Marcus sacrifices himself is a powerful scene, the music also helps. Truly an emotional, action and character driven show.
