Questions

• Is Larkin's statement to Roslin and Adama that he is seeking the fame (or infamy) of being Baltar's lawyer true, or is there an ulterior motive?

• Will Captain Kelly be punished and if yes, how?

• Besides the attacks caused by Kelly, have there been any other incidents of violence on the scale that Zarek warned Roslin about?

• Will the death of Thrace bring Lee Adama and Sam Anders closer as friends in future episodes?

• Would the bomb on the Raptor have gone off if Tyrol hadn't discovered it? Is Kelly telling the truth that he would not have triggered it with Lee Adama inside?

• Is Cally's hatred of the cClons truly towards all Cylons or is she afraid of Athena because of her connection to Tryol's former lover, Boomer?

Notes

• This episode's title is a pun on the title of the 1926 Hemingway novel The Sun Also Rises.
• The model ship which Adama destroyed in the previous episode is still sitting on a shelf in his quarters.
• Romo Lampkin exhibits symptoms of Kleptomania. Over the course of the episode he steals many objects of little or no value including President Roslin's glasses and Baltar's fountain pen.

Official Statements

• Ron D Moore, in his November 29, 2006 blog, stated that Mark Sheppard would play a major role in the last three episodes of the season.

• According to the podcast The Battlestar Roundtable, Mark Sheppard will play Romo Lampkin, a very unusual man who talks too much and is a lawyer involved in a very important case in the Colonial Fleet. His story arc will carry through the last 3 episodes of the season.
