Did anyone catch the reference to the Battlestar Pegasus?

Sounds like they're setting the stage for the appearance of Admiral Cain later on in the season.

I'm really looking forward to Cain's appearance.

By the way a possible nitpick in advance!

How come Admiral Cain didn't link up with the Galactica at Ragnar when Adama broadcast the order to rendezvous? Most Admirals I've heard of would have raced to the scene to take over post haste!

i'm sure that will be answered....being a modern ship with the windows networking protocols, i'm sure they'd been disabled and so showed up late. i doubt it will be the critical plot point of the arc. more likely the 'are any of them cyclons' paranoia.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Pegasus had had to do a completely blind jump and had ended up way, way away, i.e. ahead of the Galactica's current position. Also, that it's to be commanded by the actress who played Ro Laren in ST:TNG i.e. a woman.

According to IMDB.com, Michelle Forbes is playing Admiral Nelena Cain in the two part mid-season cliffhanger, Pegasus (2.10) and Resurrection Ship (2.11).

1# "Battlestar Galactica" playing "Admiral Nelena Cain" in episode: "Resurrection Ship" (episode # 2.11) January 2006
2# "Battlestar Galactica" playing "Admiral Nelena Cain" in episode: "Pegasus" (episode # 2.10) 16 September 2005

According to the interview I linked above, the producers want to keep the Pegasus around for a while.

what reference did I miss?

Sounds good.

I think the first series might have lasted longer with Commander Cain and Adama as a team instead of as a two part episode.
