	This is a lovely scene. I was very in love with this scene from the beginning. I really liked it. I like notion of it. I like the fact that she promotes him, gives him the [[Military Ranks (RDM)\|admiral stars]]{{podcastref\|admiralstars\|00:04:44}}, and that again, we're keeping the [[Pegasus (RDM)\|''Pegasus'']] and then now it's going to be part of our [[The Fleet (RDM)\|"Rag Tag Fleet"]]. I just think it's a very unexpected end to the show. And the other thing that's nice in this scene, it was written in the script, and I wrote it, was the affection between the two characters. That she's giving him something, but she's on her way out and it's- there's a valedictory chord being struck here as she's giving him his last gift, as it were, before she dies, and his refusal to accept that. When it was shot on the stage, though, the moment at the end where [[Edward James Olmos\|Eddie]] kisses [[Mary McDonnell\|Mary]] is something I believe that Eddie just improvved in the moment. I think he just did it because he felt it. And you can kinda see her surprise, a genuine surprise, and it works so well. It just works so well. And again it goes to the improvisational nature of the show, both in how we write it, and how we're trying to- where sometimes we think we're going one direction and then we change our minds and we realize a better direction on the fly, and it really informs the whole show. And then the actors and the directors being able to feel that on the set and finding things and moments that really lift the material to a different plane. And this is one of those moments. This is now become one of my very favorite moments in the entire series. And I like that little beat there that Adama had given up hope of that.		This is a lovely scene.

	Next week's episode will feature [[Laura Roslin\|Laura]] and her story very prominently. We'll have a big Laura- big things gonna happen with her next week. Here's the moment I was talking about. See, Mary's not quite sure where's going for this when touches her cheek and he just kisses her. That's just such a lovely moment, and it's such a good actor's instinct. And her response to it is perfect. It's just a great, great beat in the life of the show. And they've just come such a long way. And then Eddie, or, I'm sorry, [[Billy Keikeya\|Billy]] helping her out, physically. The look on Adama's face as he watches her go. It's just a very heartfelt scene between these characters. And then he looks back down at the admiral stars in his hand. It's great episode. It's a great three-parter. I'm very proud of it. I'm very proud of everyone involved in these three. They really are the show when the show is really hitting on all cylinders and it's been a pleasure to talk about it again with you and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun going back and pointing out the errors that I made in my podcast. Next week, as I allude to a little while ago, we're gonna deal with "[[Epiphanies]]", which is, was, originally episode twelve, is now episode thirteen, and it will deal in large part with Laura Roslin, her cancer, her imminent demise, and some things that happened in backstory to her, back on [[The Twelve Colonies ~~(RDM)~~#Caprica\|Caprica]]. And also a lot of other things that are happening in the Fleet. I'm very happy with that episode as well. And I will talk to you then. Take care, and thank you.

	Now we’re back into the thick of the action here and the battle sequence- all these visual effects are just tremendous I must say from [[Zoic]] and all the other houses that [[Gary Hutzel]] our visual effects supervisor plays- just an amazing, amazing battle sequence.		Now we’re back into the thick of the action here and the battle sequence- all these visual effects are just tremendous I must say from [[Zoic]] and all the other houses that [[Gary Hutzel]] our visual effects supervisor plays- just an amazing, amazing battle sequence.

	Oh, I should talk a little about the inspiration for this ejection, this is something that came up very early in the development of the entire "[[Pegasus]]"/"[[Resurrection Ship, Part I\|Resurrection Ship]]" storyline. Again in our effort to find a different way to tell battle sequences- one of the dangers of the show that I’ve talked about before is this notion that it’s dangerous to keep just playing the same dogfights over and over again, the audience gets bored, I get bored with it and I wanna keep doing something different. Part of this notion came out of a true story from the [[wikipedia:World_War_II\|Second World War]] in the [[wikipedia:Pacific_ocean\|Pacific]], there was a [[wikipedia:U.S._Navy\|Navy]] flyer, whose name I believe was [[wikipedia:~~George_Gay~~\|Ensign Gay]] and he was a pilot for a TBF Devastator torpedo plane which- or TBD it might be [[wikipedia:TBD_Devastator\|TBD Devastator]] anyway- he was on a torpedo plane in the [[wikipedia:Battle_of_Midway\|Battle of Midway]] and he was launched from the [[wikipedia:USS_Hornet_%28CV-8%29\|USS Hornet]] and during the American attack on the Japanese aircraft carriers all- the entire squadron- his entire torpedo squadron was wiped out, they were literally- every single plane was lost and Ensign Gay was the only survivor and he survived because he went d- when he went down he got out of his sinking aircraft I believe and stayed in the water with his little life jacket on but he was in the very heart of the Japanese fleet and he had a ringside seat to watch the Battle of Midway play out all around him. He saw American dive-bombers sink three Japanese aircraft carriers, he saw the entire attack and it was such a unique perspective that I’d always been taken with it and thought well that’s an amazing place to tell a battle sequence from. From a pilot who’s like ejected and is floating in space and watching the battle happen all around him and that’s the inspiration for where the Lee sequence came from.

	This whole beat with [[Gaius Baltar\|Baltar]] and [[Gina]] and [[Number Six\|Six]] is of course a call-back to the first episode where she talks about sports as being something that she missed and that she used to go to these games and drink in the emotion and she always saved a ticket for him. And it was this piece of Six that had revealed itself to Baltar in terms of her love for him and there was something delicious about the notion that he would then steal that, he would literally steal that story and the heartfelt nature of that story and the vulnerability of that story and use it to get to the woman that he now wants in defiance of Six hanging on right- literally on his shoulder. There was something great about the juxtaposition of it, it’s great that they’re both versions of the same woman and yet he’s robbing from one to get to the other and he’s doing it for complicated reasons of genuine feeling that he has for Gina because she’s a real woman and yet it’s all based on a lie which is at the heart of a lot of things that Baltar’s about. I like that a lot, again though because we’ve now split this into two episodes, it’s a call-back all the way into the first hour which might lose some of the audience but y’know them’s the choices that you make.

	This scene was part of the original- this is [[Karl Agathon\|Helo]] and [[Galen Tyrol\|Tyrol]] coming into see [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)\|Sharon]]. This was part of the original one-hour, and the problem was you saw the Lee scene where he came in and saw Helo and Tyrol and they say, "You're not being executed now," and then you didn't see them again until this scene. And it just felt like, boy, they just like dropped off of the face of the Earth for a storyline that had propelled every- propelled the major confrontation at the end of "[[Pegasus]]". So thank God we were able to make two episodes and really play all the storylines for all the juice that they had. 'Cause it's now- it's quite effective. You've seen they've gone through quite an experience and now they've come all the way back to where their experience started, which was down in Sharon's cell. And Tyrol is trying to let it go and Helo can't.

This scene was part of the original- this is [[Karl Agathon\|Helo]] and [[Galen Tyrol\|Tyrol]] coming into see [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)\|Sharon]]. This was part of the original one-hour, and the problem was you saw the Lee scene where he came in and saw Helo and Tyrol and they say, "You're not being executed now," and then you didn't see them again until this scene. And it just felt like, boy, they just like dropped off of the face of the Earth for a storyline that had propelled every- propelled the major confrontation at the end of "[[Pegasus]]". So thank God we were able to make two episodes and really play all the storylines for all the juice that they had. 'Cause it's now- it's quite effective. You've seen they've gone through quite an experience and now they've come all the way back to where their experience started, which was down in Sharon's cell.

	This is a lovely scene. I was very in love with this scene from the beginning. I really liked it. I like notion of it. I like the fact that she promotes him, gives him the [[Military Ranks (RDM)\|admiral stars]], and that again, we're keeping the [[Pegasus (RDM)\|''Pegasus'']] and then now it's going to be part of our [[The Fleet (RDM)\|"Rag Tag Fleet"]]. I just think it's a very unexpected end to the show. And the other thing that's nice in this scene, it was written in the script, and I wrote it, was the affection between the two characters. That she's giving him something, but she's on her way out and it's- there's a valedictory chord being struck here as she's giving him his last gift, as it were, before she dies, and his refusal to accept that. When it was shot on the stage, though, the moment at the end where [[Edward James Olmos\|Eddie]] kisses [[Mary McDonnell\|Mary]] is something I believe that Eddie just improvved in the moment. I think he just did it because he felt it. And you can kinda see her surprise, a genuine surprise, and it works so well. It just works so well. And again it goes to the improvisational nature of the show, both in how we write it, and how we're trying to- where sometimes we think we're going one direction and then we change our minds and we realize a better direction on the fly, and it really informs the whole show. And then the actors and the directors being able to feel that on the set and finding things and moments that really lift the material to a different plane. And this is one of those moments. This is now become one of my very favorite moments in the entire series. And I like that little beat there that Adama had given up hope of that.		This is a lovely scene.

	Next week's episode will feature [[Laura Roslin\|Laura]] and her story very prominently. We'll have a big Laura- big things gonna happen with her next week. Here's the moment I was talking about. See, Mary's not quite sure where's going for this when touches her cheek and he just kisses her. That's just such a lovely moment, and it's such a good actor's instinct.

And then he looks back down at the admiral stars in his hand. It's great episode. It's a great three-parter. I'm very proud of it. I'm very proud of everyone involved in these three. They really are the show when the show is really hitting on all cylinders and it's been a pleasure to talk about it again with you and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun going back and pointing out the errors that I made in my podcast. Next week, as I allude to a little while ago, we're gonna deal with "[[Epiphanies]]", which is, was, originally episode twelve, is now episode thirteen, and it will deal in large part with Laura Roslin, her cancer, her imminent demise, and some things that happened in backstory to her, back on [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica\|Caprica]]. And also a lot of other things that are happening in the Fleet. I'm very happy with that episode as well. And I will talk to you then. Take care, and thank you.

	As we get into act four now, I realize that my entire discussion and elaboration on (chuckle) the act structure earlier in the episode was incorrect, of course. I should have been talking about act two, and then act three and act four. Instead I was mistaken and spoke in there, because I still- my head is very much in old structures of the cuts. I apologize for that and hope you're not too confused. As you can see now, clearly, act four is all epilogue and denouement and act three (laughs) is really where the- just the assassination and act two is the battle. So- what do you want from me? Sometimes even I make mistakes, as shocking as that is.		As we get into act four now, I realize that my entire discussion and elaboration on (chuckle) the act structure earlier in the episode was incorrect, of course. I should have been talking about [[Podcast:Resurrection Ship, Part II#Act Two\|act two]], and then [[Podcast:Resurrection Ship, Part II#Act Three\|act three]] and [[Podcast:Resurrection Ship, Part II#Act Four\|act four]].

So- what do you want from me? Sometimes even I make mistakes, as shocking as that is.

	This funeral sequence was something that was shot after the fact. The funeral of Cain seemed like a great opportunity to take one more step in ~~through~~ the complexity of who she was and what she meant to all of them. Starbuck, who was alm- who almost killed her, speaking at the funeral and coming to the conclusion that she didn't flinch, and that we flinch a lot around here, and that the hard thing to hear is that we probably were safer with her than without her. That that's true. And it really- it's another way of leaving the audience with a sense of imbalance and a sense of being off. I'm not articulating this very well~~. The~~ audience is essentially left to ponder what they really think about Cain at the end of the day. Cain did pull back. Cain didn't shoot Adama. She is human. She is a- there is something of value in there. She did keep that ship together. She did make them all survive. She got them to this point. She took out that resurrection ship, which was her thing. In fact, as you look at it, Cain succeeded in every single thing that she set out to do. Admiral Cain was successful in all ways she wanted to be successful, with the exception of not surviving herself. But she go everything else she wanted, and you have to acknowledge and think about that in the context of the show.		This funeral sequence was something that was shot after the fact.

	Again, this whole beat with Lee, getting back to Lee and where is he. He had gone through this experience, lost in space (laughs), as it were, and seeing this battle and getting to a place where he, through the hypoxia, through his own, like, observation and his moral struggles, had gotten to a place where he didn't want to come back. And then what happens to that character is the interesting thing that we ~~want~~ to play. And you'll see in subsequent episodes, particularly in what is now episode fourteen, I believe, "Black Market", the places that that is sending him. And it informs who he is for the rest of the season. He had gone through this strange epiphany out in space and didn't want to come back into the here and now, and yet was pulled back, and how does that screw up the character? How does he deal with the aftermath to these events?		Again, this whole beat with [[Lee Adama\|Lee]], getting back to Lee and where is he.

	And act four is all epilogue. Like I was saying, ~~how~~ we successfully avoided all that with the assassination. No we didn't. It's just all epilogue and I see so many cuts of these shows, sometimes I forget which cut is the final cut even when I'm watching it. (Laughs) So there you have it. I'm still tickled by the fact that I couldn't remember.		And act four is all epilogue. Like I was saying, "Oh, we successfully avoided all that with the assassination." No we didn't.

I think he just did it because he felt it. And you can kinda see her surprise, a genuine surprise, and it works so well. It just works so well. And again it goes to the improvisational nature of the show, both in how we write it, and how we're trying to- where sometimes we think we're going one direction and then we change our minds and we realize a better direction on the fly, and it really informs the whole show. And then the actors and the directors being able to feel that on the set and finding things and moments that really lift the material to a different plane. And this is one of those moments. This is now become one of my very favorite moments in the entire series. And I like that little beat there that Adama had given up hope of that.		This is a lovely scene. I was very in love with this scene from the beginning. I really liked it. I like notion of it. I like the fact that she promotes him, gives him the [[Military Ranks (RDM)\|admiral stars]]{{podcastref\|admiralstars\|00:04:44}}, and that again, we're keeping the [[Pegasus (RDM)\|''Pegasus'']] and then now it's going to be part of our [[The Fleet (RDM)\|"Rag Tag Fleet"]]. I just think it's a very unexpected end to the show. And the other thing that's nice in this scene, it was written in the script, and I wrote it, was the affection between the two characters. That she's giving him something, but she's on her way out and it's- there's a valedictory chord being struck here as she's giving him his last gift, as it were, before she dies, and his refusal to accept that.

	Next week's episode will feature [[Laura Roslin\|Laura]] and her story very prominently. We'll have a big Laura- big things gonna happen with her next week. Here's the moment I was talking about. See, Mary's not quite sure where's going for this when touches her cheek and he just kisses her. That's just such a lovely moment, and it's such a good actor's instinct. And her response to it is perfect. It's just a great, great beat in the life of the show. And they've just come such a long way. And then Eddie, or, I'm sorry, [[Billy Keikeya\|Billy]] helping her out, physically. The look on Adama's face as he watches her go. It's just a very heartfelt scene between these characters. And then he looks back down at the admiral stars in his hand. It's great episode. It's a great three-parter. I'm very proud of it. I'm very proud of everyone involved in these three. They really are the show when the show is really hitting on all cylinders and it's been a pleasure to talk about it again with you and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun going back and pointing out the errors that I made in my podcast. Next week, as I allude to a little while ago, we're gonna deal with "[[Epiphanies]]", which is, was, originally episode twelve, is now episode thirteen, and it will deal in large part with Laura Roslin, her cancer, her imminent demise, and some things that happened in backstory to her, back on [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica\|Caprica]]. And also a lot of other things that are happening in the Fleet. I'm very happy with that episode as well. And I will talk to you then. Take care, and thank you.

	This scene was part of the original- this is [[Karl Agathon\|Helo]] and [[Galen Tyrol\|Tyrol]] coming into see [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)\|Sharon]]. This was part of the original one-hour, and the problem was you saw the Lee scene where he came in and saw Helo and Tyrol and they say, "You're not being executed now," and then you didn't see them again until this scene. And it just felt like, boy, they just like dropped off of the face of the Earth for a storyline that had propelled every- propelled the major confrontation at the end of "[[Pegasus]]". So thank God we were able to make two episodes and really play all the storylines for all the juice that they had. 'Cause it's now- it's quite effective. You've seen they've gone through quite an experience and now they've come all the way back to where their experience started, which was down in Sharon's cell. And Tyrol is trying to let it go and Helo can't.
