The First Crisis

This is the first episode where Isaac Asimov's credit in the main titles appears in the same font size as all other credits. Up until this episode his "based on the novels by" credit was noticeably smaller in size.

It makes absolutely no sense for the Thespin fighters to leave their ships when they get to Terminus. They have total control of the battlefield from the air. By leaving them they surrender all control to one pilot who could easily just be shot by the Anachreons to win the battle. They've also lost contact with one their fighters and know that the enemy leader is missing. They would surely have connected those two events and known she was coming.
