No one seems to have mentioned (in this great debate of silliness) that the
reason why the Galactica didn't go light speed was so that it could protect
the slower-moving "rag-tag fugitive fleet".  Now whether it could be a
challenge to the Enterprise, all I can say is:  these are two different 
universes.  Just remember Hitchhiker's Guide, when the army that was to
conquer Earth got gobbled up accidentally by a dog.  Enough of "let's
pretend."  It was amusing while it lasted, but let's go on to other topics,
like Buck Rogers vs. Mr. T.  (BeeDeeBeeDeeBee....What the fool say?).
