Season 2 / Episode 10: - Pegasus

Lieutenant Alastair Thorne: [Dr. Baltar has been asked aboard the Battlestar Pegasus to examine their "Cylon prisoner"] Don't get too close. It killed seven of my crew. Do you want my guards to come in with you?
Number Six: Feeling scared, Gaius? Want the big, bad soldiers to protect you from the mean old Cylon prisoner?
Doctor Gaius Baltar: No, I think we'll be just fine. Thank you.

Number Six: Oh, my God.

Number Six: My God, Gaius, it's me! Look at what they've done to her!
Doctor Gaius Baltar: Open the door, now, please.
Computer Voice: ID confirmed. Lieutenant Thorne.

Doctor Gaius Baltar: [Baltar examines the other Number Six: she is in a catatonic state] She must have struggled. She must have fought back.
Number Six: [crying] That doesn't justify this!

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Chief Tyrol and Helo are told to put their hands behind their head by Pegasus marines. The camera cuts away to Boomer and back to Tyrol, who doesn't have his hands up any more, then to the marine announcing that Lt. Thorne is dead. In the next shot Tryol is shown lowering his hands.
CONT: During the end scene, Pegasus is flying in front of Galactica, but when both ships launch their alert vipers, they are seen across from each other with some distance in between.

TRIVIA

The interior sets used for the Battlestar Pegasus are actually leftover sets from the abortive John Woo remake of "Lost in Space". Woo's series never got off the ground, but its sets were placed in storage. They were then heavily remodeled and reused in this series for all scenes on the Pegasus.
Opening credits say there are 49,605 human survivors.
The story for episode #2.10 "Pegasus" is loosely based on the Original Series episode "The Living Legend" which also features the Galactica discovering the Pegasus.
