Watching the trailer I was once again confronted with what IMHO is the worst line in the mini: Moments ago this ship received word of a Cylon attack against our home worlds is underway. Every time I hear this I cring because it's structure is just so wrong.
It should have been: ...of a Cylon attack against out home worlds.
or ...that a Cylon attack against our home worlds is underway.
As it was presented though it left me with the feeling that somebody wasn't paying attention to editing.
It's such an important line for that episode that it leaves me wondering that they weren't trying to portray Adama as weak, confused, or upset. That explanation just makes no sense to me for that part of the story. At that point he's supposed to be the strong leader who's taking charge.
Anyone else have a similar really DUH! reaction at that point or is it just me?
