The Fleet's dwindling food supplies are contaminated and the people are on the verge of starvation. They find a planet with protein-rich algae, but in order to get to it, the pilots need to guide the fleet, ship-by-ship, to the destination. They pass through a high-radiation zone, full of posionous clouds and intense light. Not everyone makes it.
I liked this episode because we saw the loss of a great pilot. Her death scene was touching. Also, it was good to see the tension between Lee and Kara, while still there, has subsided since the fight. Lastly, it was great to finally have the Colonel back in the CIC, kicking ass, where he belongs.
This episode was not as emotional as the last few, but it was time to get back to the fleet and some survival issues. I liked it.
4 out of 5 stars.
