01x21 - Stardust Season 1 / Episode 21: - Stardust

Lt. Vanessa Damphousse: Saratoga, this is Demios. Request response to request for air cover. Situation deteriorating... Many units in retreat... Airfield in jeopardy of being taken. Many casualties, request response.
Lt. Price: Demios, this is the Saratoga...
Commodore Glen van Ross: [interrupts the LT to speak to the troops being left behind] Lieutenant. Marines, this is Commodore Ross of the USS Saratoga. We remain proud of you. Due to security reasons, I am unable to explain this painful directive. Due to the fortunes of war... Black Forest. I say again, Black Forest.
Capt. Shane Vansen: [Vansen interprets the code] No air support.
Commodore Glen van Ross: Red Sea. Red Sea...
Capt. Shane Vansen: [Vansen interprets again] No ground reinforcement.
Commodore Glen van Ross: You are encouraged, but not so ordered, to continue to engage the enemy. If, however, your positions become untenable, you are authorized to surrender. Semper Fidelis, and may God be with you always.

Season 1 Trivia

  • Episode 07 - Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): (at around 10 mins) Wang: "Sir, you could have given him a light year, and he couldn't have explained his actions." A light year is a unit of distance, not time.
  • Episode 12 - Contains very little dialogue and is cited by Joss Whedon as the inspiration for his famous 'silent' Buffy episode 'Hush'. Rodney Rowland would later guest star in the Angel episode 'Conviction'.
  • Episode 12 - Goof (continuity error): While awaiting extraction, Hawkes looks at his watch and the date clearly says "SU 11-11." However the previous episode, River of Stars, took place on Christmas Eve.
  • Episode 03 - Goof (revealing mistake): When the team first lands on the airless planetoid in the Kuiper Belt, (at around 14 mins), a moth flits around the space-suited Hawkes for four seconds.
  • Episode 21 - Goof (plot holes): After the Saratoga left Demios to proceed to Ixion, the 58th wouldn't have known their position in order to aim the communication dish to maintain radio contact.
