Quote:1) It seems that the colonials purposefully renounced their technology. Someone upthread mentioned hearing Adama talk about making "provisions" for technology distribution amongst the settlers; his quote is something like "we will drop settler groups with provisions here, here...(pointing to the map)" so to me it's pretty clear he's talking about provisions meaning food. Speaking practically, the best way to ensure survival of technology information would have been under the centralized urban scheme that had already been rejected.
I think he also said something about supplies being distributed equally. My own take is that may mean some basic tech, if some of the camo tents\military netting are any indication.
Speaking of Adama and Raptors, I was half expecting him to crash it to the ground after Roslin died. Or jump it to the sun.

In fact, pretty much all the fighter pilots in the last battle were probably killed in Galactica's sudden jump out.
IIRC, the surviving vipers returned to Galactica's hangar bay during the momentary ceasefire. I probably have to watch it a fourth time, or wait for the DVD version. But my guess is if they stayed grounded during the frakkup during the res plan download, they probably stand a better chance of surviving. If any did fly out again when the ceasefire started going south, they'd probably be toast along with the colony.
I'm hoping the DVD will restore the rumoured extended scene where the Colony is knocked off orbit and into the black hole.
