You're right about that script point, though I'm not sure whether that would have padded the episode to two parts. A second attack during that sequence would have been infinitely preferrable to the exploits of Muffit the Wonder Daggit that we got instead!
Earlier comments have been made about Starbuck's unprotected wrists being visible during the EVA. Consider the fact that when the charges are blown, we see things flying about inside the storage compartment, which means that Boomer and everyone would thus be exposed to the vacuum and should theoretically need more than just oxygen masks for protection! The proper way to show them at the time of explosion was just a loud sound outside of the pressure escaping but it shouldn't have caused all that blowing of things over them (and the compartments outside the storage compartment should have been repressurized before they could be removed safely!)
