"flash bang"[edit]

Wait, how do we know it was a flash bang grenade? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.127.75 (talk) 00:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we do. It's a pretty safe assumption, but I don't see why leaving the term generic shouldn't suffice for now. "Grenade" would be correct no matter what type of grenade it is. --Fru1tbat (talk) 18:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think we can be sure its not a frag. There was a close up of the thing and its obviously a stun grenade. Its as obvious to me as showing a cat and assuming it is a cat. I think it is important to stress the difference here between a lethal grenade and a non-lethal one. 69.132.40.219 (talk) 00:35, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The whiteness of the explosion also supports it being a flashbang. oh well, we will know tomorrow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.183.77 (talk) 17:42, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, you can tell the difference between two fictional kinds of grenades? The whole point of the cliffhanger is that you don't know what happened to Adama and Tigh. Sure, it's probably a flash-bang, but it's not like anyone said "throw a flash bang grenade in there!" "ZOMG it's a flash bang" or like we've ever seen the two kinds on the show before well enough to be able to tell one from the other.98.233.83.157 (talk) 19:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

plot length[edit]

I'll write a shorter plot summary based on my current one with focus on the development later on. --91.67.59.175 (talk) 14:10, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm taking a crack at a few paragraphs now, just to get started. The biggest problems are the parts that detail shot-by-shot or line-by-line sections of the episode - those should really be summarized. --Fru1tbat (talk) 18:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
