Didja Notice?
On page 13, panel 5, Dipper says, "Meaning what?", but the
following panel suggests it was supposed to be Chief Tyrol who
said it.
This issue reveals that Commander Adama keeps a key to the cells
of the Galactica's brig hidden in the heel of his shoe, saying,
"Any commander dumb enough to get locked in his own jail
deserves to rot there."
On page 17, the dialog, "Tomas! Come out here for a minute," is
attributed to Tomas himself instead of the guard outside the brig.
Unanswered Questions
How did DiMarco and his people escape the unnamed planet in
neutral territory where they were left in
"Absolutely Necessary"?
The only working ship they seemed to have was the Raptor left
them by Commander Adama, but it did not have a working FTL
drive. It's possible they were able to fix the FTL drive or call for help from
Purat's forces or other allies in the six months since the
events of that story.
