Default Re: BG-17: Hand Of God

Well, they never would have heard "Apollo" in the transmission since the conversations were always addressed to either "Columbia" (the command module) or "Eagle" (the LEM. You can even hear "Eagle" in the audio in the scene where Boomer plays it back) but I get your point.

The episode to me is absolutely flawless in terms of execution. There was one deleted scene I wish had stayed in where Apollo muses at one point before they leave, "I kind of hoped I'd see Sheba again" because that proves beyond any doubt that she's made an impact on him (we could have sacrificed all the extra giggling at Boomer's expense when he gets awaken to make room for that IMO)
