Ah, thank you Youtube for providing me with many, many examples of Galactica's atmo jump.
This one is pretty good and has a snazzy song that drives the whole rescue attempt along.
But for those of you who just want to see what I'm rambling about, here it is. I've watched this scene about, oh, 20 times and it STILL hasn't gotten old.
As for why this scene is so amazing, understand that the Galactica is a capital ship never meant to enter a planet's atmosphere. This is like having the Enterprise emerge from warp a few thousand feet above the Earth and falling like a rock. While under attack. And launching a full complement of fighters while doing so.
It's nice to see that the special effects crew from Firefly and Serenity have made a new home for themselves with Galactica. Gotta love sci-fi guys who actually make a passing attempt at applying real-world physics to a show like this.
Oh, here's a cool shot of the Pegasus (another Battlestar) taking out a few Cylon basestars. Mmm...
