The flight decks definitely are open front and back. It is not clear how the openings are sealed when the pods are retracted in the new Galactica. But it appears that Starbuck and Apollo come to rest against the side of the landing pod (are those entry ways for the catapult tubes?) yet the lines painted on the deck indicate that their momentum remains primarily forward, with only a slight sideways skid. But I don't think there are any catapults facing forward, even though the fore-and-aft oriented lines come to an end, without curving, against the wall where the Vipers come to rest. That whole scene is confusing. I would like to see a flight deck diagram, with a little "Starbuck and Apollo are here" star, to map out where they came to rest.
