Battlestar Galactica Screen Caps with Commentary (Part 2)

Opinions from those involved in creating/executing Battlestar Galactica.
I suffered for this music, and for no piece more so than the episode’s climactic reveal of Earth, a work I called “Diaspora Oratorio.”
BSG writer and co-executive producer Jane Espenson has this to say about these scenes:
And -- oh -- that haunting devastated city there, with the massive ruined temple and our people trying to find their footing in a strange dead city I did not recognize... that image just kills me. Every time I watch this episode, I well up with hope, and it lasts right up through that handful of soil, and then the radiation counter breaks my heart all over again. I do not easily tear up, but the race to the planet -- don't the ships look like they're *running*? I always think of running... Anyway, that race and then the reveal brings tears to my eyes in a way I'm not sure I've experienced before during a television show. Someday I'll see those images without having to blink through them. Right? from TV Squad
Led by D'Anna Biers (the sole surviving Number Three), the band of rebel Cylons hold President Roslin and Galactica's pilots hostage while attempting to lure the "Dylan Four" out of hiding. Meanwhile, The Four (Tyrol, Tory, Tigh, and Anders) are inexplicably drawn to Kara Thrace's Viper, which may hold a new clue to finding Earth.
Thanks for capping, creative muse!

Eddie Olmos reflects on the series' ending:
- It’s ugly. It’s not a happy ending. The final season is not a way of resolving anything. Happy would be tying things in a nice bow. There are no bows being tied.
*quote from Battlestar Wiki
Picking up where I left off two posts ago...
...where the screen caps showed the Fleet prior to landing on Earth. Almost everyone is celebratory with a few notable exceptions. Now I'll finish this sequence and follow through with the reactions in screen shots of the Fleet after they land.
Starbuck (no dialogue in this sequence with a one word exception--and it's not frakk!)
Bad news for Bill: the planet is radioactive implying that it's been nuked.
Adama and Roslin
Everyone has gone from joyous to deeply somber.
