: : The Pfhor's surprise attack on the Marathon was still by a precise FTL
: : stealth jump.

: Hmm, good point. While Durandal would be doing all that he can to help the
: Pfhor sneak up, it seems unlikely that he'd be able to hide a slow Pfhor
: approach from a fully operational Leela, Tycho, and the human crew.

While this is indeed a possibility it requires a more complex explanation than one in which the Pfhor can jump out of FTL close to objects. As I am a great believer of lex parsimoniae I tend to opt for the simpler theory until evidence proves it wrong. Yes, I shave with an Occam's razor. ;)

If indeed the Pfhor can jump out of FTL with a degree of precision then Tfear opted not do this at Lh'owon.

Either that or we have our assumptions all wrong and that the Pfhor's FTL is not folding (i.e. instantaneous), and that Durandal can track ships travelling faster than light or Tycho's a big snitch.

Or... perhaps I've watched too much Battlestar Galactica. :)

Cheers
