I missed the beginning and have no idea why the Fleet had to jump through all that radiation, let alone stop midway, in the first place. Anyone have time to enlighten me?

I watched the whole thing and i still don't get it.

Apparently the star cluster or whatever the yellow cloudy thing was called was too big to go around or jump all the way through. So they had to jump into the middle, then jump out the other end.

Oh, the reason they were doing it at all was to get to the huge algae colonies on the planet that was at the other end. They can use the algae to make food that is yucky but nutritional. Something contaminated their, um, food maker machines, so everything they have is spoiled and the fleet will starve to death in ten days if they don't find food.

So.

(I guess Helo's back to being a pilot.)

Never was. He was Boomer's REO

Gaeta. Not happy the Colonel is back, eh? Yeah, I guess not.

Nope. Going to be interesting watching this play out.

I thought that Hot Dog was going to lose it too.

Yeah, so did I.

Nice to see the Ceiling Demon's eldest is still a pilot.

The who with the what now?

Also? I rewatched Croatoan (what? I was pinned to the couch by a sleeping cat so I couldn't load a dvd, and there was nothing else on, and the ep was right there on the dvr. What?) and the first car Dean finds on his way out of town? The Oregon plate had three letters, three digits. I didn't get the digits, but the letters were WTF.

Kathy - yes, it is.

It wasn't a repeat but Scifi repeats it -- i.e., we get it at 7 central and at 11 central.

I just meant that he was flying -- although, I don't think that they were using navigators this time so he was the pilot.

I misunderstood what you meant about Helo, sumi. Now tell me what you meant about the Ceiling Demon--was EJO the voice of, or something?

Ceiling Demon - is the TWOP nicknamed for the Demon that killed Mary Winchester and Jessica on Supernatural. One of the pilots from the Pegasus had a part in the season finale (and I think earlier too) of season 1 of Supernatural as a minion of the Demon. (The Demon called him his son.)

Ohhhhh, right. He was in the ready room tonight, I recognised him. I just got the familial relationships confused--wrong firstborn. I thought, since the Hot Dog actor is EJO's son that you meant...well, you know. Thanks for clearing that up.

Kathy - yes, it is.

I thought so. They had done such a good job of teaching the Brit actors how to talk Yank that I have no clue which actors were from the States and who wasn't. I'm still trying to remember which of the GIs was Foley (played by Jamie Bamber).
