BSG executive producer Ronald Moore said the hangar deck accident was inspired by the 1967 USS Forrestal disaster, in which a Zuni rocket was accidentally fired from a jet on the carrier deck. The resulting massive explosions killed 134 sailors and seriously injured dozens more. Former Senator John McCain narrowly escaped death in the incident.
It was a miracle the crew was able to save the ship, considering that most of the Forrestal's primary fire control personnel were killed during the initial explosions.

Seems there were a lot of shows in the early 2000s with bad last seasons π

I guess this was the influence of Lost which was in its heydays the most consequential TV show of the 2000s. I wouldn't mind if Josh and Alex would react to it some day. I mean they watch GOT now despite its last season. So they can watch Lost despite its last season.

I'm wondering if the constant returning to Starbucks crash would make more sense if you factor in commercial breaks

Unfortunately this was one of those things that was so. damn. common. in this era of television. 24 was doing it, BSG was doing it, almost every cop show did it at least once, and even the contemporary Star Trek show got into the habit of doing it.

I think maybe if they'd shown Starbuck crashing ONLY in the hook, and not again until the end, it probably would have been better. That scene between Adama and her is one of my favorites of the show. When I've gone back to watch again, it's often that scene drawing me back.

The non-linear storytelling is wrecking Josh's mind! LOL
