small line from hand of god
In "The Hand of God" there is one brief line which I've never seen discussed before, yet I think it is very important. In the scene where Apollo and Sheba are in the Cylon ship (before she kisses him), she tells him, "It takes three Cylons to fly this fighter."
Apollo answers, "Uhn-uh. I need you and Boomer to lead the squadrons."
Apollo's response is wonderful! Not only does he accept Sheba as a competent warrior, this is also wonderful for a 1979 male script writer to have written. For the situation to be handled so casually by the writer, as if it were an everyday occurence, is something you seldom see even 25 years later.
