== Official Statements ==

* ''"Please do something about the consumables questions; fuel, food, ammo, clothing etc., where is this stuff coming from?"''
: Water is addressed in... uh, "[[Water]]." Fuel is addressed in "[[The Hand of God|Hand of God]]". Other consumables will be addressed in the second season. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

* ''Regarding Second Season Renewal''

:So it's official: we're doing a second season.

:To say that this is happy news is to indulge in a display of understatement. The road to television success is a long one, littered with various hurdles, all of which must be vaulted: the studio pitch session, the network pitch, the story outline, the first draft script, the second draft script, the green-light to produce [[Mini-Series|the pilot]], casting the pilot, making the pilot, ordering the series, producing the series, getting the reviews, getting an audience, and then.... getting a second season. We've managed to clear that hurdle and it feels frakking good.

:We've been working on the first six episodes for a couple of months now and we're gearing up to prep them for filming, probably in late March. Season Two will be heavily influenced by the end of [[Season 1 (2004-05)|Season One]], so it's hard to get into anything remotely specific until the [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II|last episode]] has aired in the US. I could say... well... er... not much. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

* ''"Will we ever get any more of the back story to the Cylon Wars?, ie What started them and how did the [[Colonials|Colonists]] (sic) drive them away."''

:We will see more of this backstory as the series unfolds. Some of the inter-war period will be explored in the first few episodes of Season 2. Other tales of the first [[Cylon Wars]] will be filled in eventually. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

* ''"Will we see any of the origonal cast appart from Richard Hatch. "''

:It's possible, but not yet on the board. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

* ''"Please show more of the blue collar guys keeping everything in check on the other ships. Guys that would have clocked out and gone home had the holocaust not happened. Not really a question sorry."''

:We have plans for this in the second season. [[Cally]], for instance, never planned to stay in the service and her enlistment was nearly up at the time of the attack. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

*''"Will there be any development between characters on what distinguishes a Sagitaran from Caprican, Virgon, or any of the 12 Colonies? Did they develop seprately their own cultures and even different religions on their worlds? I'm glad the element of different worlds or nationalities was kept in the show."''

:This is an area we didn't get a chance to get very far with in the [[Season 1 (2004-05)|first season]], and I'm hoping we explore more fully in the second. I think that some of the [[Colonies]] have developed very different cultures and attitudes from one another and that it's rich ground for us. We alluded to some differences here and there, but mostly we talked about the "Federal" (for lack of a better word) governmental structures. We do know that there was a sizable opposition to the Colonial government. [[Conoy, Leoben|Leoben]] claimed to be an arms dealer supplying freedom fighters or terrorists, depending on your point of view, and [[Zarek, Tom|Tom Zarek]] was the jailed leader of a sometimes violent opposition, so it stands to reason that there are a wide variety of views, some of which come into violent conflict with one another. It's also worth bearing in mind that one of the uses for which the [[Cylons]] were originally used by the Colonies was as soldiers in their wars against one another. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

* ''"Granted that a season two at this point is just ink on paper punctuated by a big question mark, but I have a “practical” question to ask. Should the series move forward, to what extent would you want to explore the practical issues of life in the fleet–you’ve touched on the basics of food, fuel and water, but how about problems such as finding enough doctors to treat the population, providing life support on ships not originally intended as passenger vessels and dealing with the inevitable fiefdoms arising on these mix and match metal life rafts? "''

:I would very much like to continue exploring these issues in the second year and beyond. I'm intrigued by playing the situation as realistically as dramatically possible and I think these sorts of questions are wonderful material for the show. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

The Return of Starbuck

2005-04-28T13:04:09Z

64.251.53.2:

== Overview ==

: ''Dr. [[Zee]] relates a dream he had about a pilot called [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] to [[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]]; thus revealing Starbuck's fate.''

== Summary ==



* Dr. [[Zee]] has had a dream about a Colonial Warrior called [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]], who crashed on an unknown planet. After confiding in [[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]], he discovers that the dream is indeed true.
* Some 14 [[yahren]] ago, Starbuck and [[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]] were on patrol when they were attacked by a phalanx of [[Cylon Raiders]].
* After being seriously damaged, Starbuck says farewell to his friend, Boomer, and finds a planet to crash land on.
* Boomer pleads with Adama to mount a rescue; such an act is impossible as the Cylons are actively pursuing them. They can only press forward.
* After setting up camp on the planet Starbuck, Starbuck comes across the wreckage of a Raider, finding all the Cylons non-functional.
* Out of loneliness, Starbuck fixes a Cylon, who initially tries to kill the Warrior. However, Starbuck has wired himself a remote on/off switch, so that he can disable the Centurian at will.
* The Cylon, whom he calls Cy (shorthand for [[Cyrus]]), and Starbuck become friends of a sort, much to their mutual astonishment.
* Cy runs off after discovering that Starbuck was cheating at [[pyramid]].
* As Starbuck mopes, Cy returns to the camp with a female human. She calls herself Angela and is pregnant.
* Cy hoped that now that Starbuck had a human companion that he would not be so bored.
* Angela asks that Starbuck find a way to get her child off the planet; Starbuck begins to suspect that Angela is not all she appears.
* Cy and Starbuck cobble together parts from both their crafts, creating a ship that could carry Angela and her child to safety.
* After the ship launches, a Cylon patrol lands on the planet. Finding Starbuck, the Cylon Centurians attempt to kill him.
* Cy defends Starbuck, sacrificing his life for that of the Warrior's.

== Analysis ==



== Notes ==

* This is the only episode that fandom would deem [[canon|canonical]], as they believe it has the spirit of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|original series]]; unsurprising as it was an idea thrown around during the run of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|original]].
* "The Return of Starbuck" is viewed as -- and was -- a last-ditch effort to save ''[[Galactica 1980]]''. It failed.
* Had the series been permitted to live, an episode called "[[Wheel of Fire]]" would have seen Starbuck rescued by the [[Beings of Light]] to become one of their rank.

Galactica 1980

2005-04-28T13:03:28Z

64.251.53.2:

'''''Galactica 1980''''' is a science-fiction [[television series]], and a [[spin-off]] from [[Battlestar Galactica]]. It was first broadcast on the [[ABC network]] in the United States from January 27, 1980 to May 4, 1980.

==Synopsis==

Set a generation after the original series, the ''Galactica'' and its fleet of 220 civilian ships have finally discovered [[Earth]], only to find that the planet cannot defend itself against the [[Cylon]]s as originally planned. Therefore, teams of Colonial warriors are covertly sent to the [[planet]] to work incognito with various members of the scientific community, hoping to advance Earth's technology.

Commander Adama and Colonel Boomer—now second-in-command in place of Colonel Tigh—send Captain "Boxey" Troy, who is the adopted son of Adama's own son Apollo, and Lt. Dillon to North America, where they become entangled with TV journalist Jamie Hamilton. The three of them devise ways to help Earth's scientists and outwit the Cylons.

==Cast==

* [[Lorne Greene]] - [[Commander Adama]]
* [[Robyn Douglass]] - Jamie Hamilton
* [[Herb Jefferson Jr.]] - Colonel [[Boomer]]
* [[Richard Lynch]] - Xavier
* [[Kent McCord]] - [[Captain]] Troy
* [[Allan Miller]] - [[Colonel]] Sydell
* [[James Patrick Stuart]] - Dr. Zee
* [[Robbie Rist]] - Dr. Zee
* [[Barry Van Dyke]] - [[Lieutenant]] Dillon

Greene (Adama) and Jefferson (Boomer) were the only major cast members of the original series to return, with [[Richard Hatch]] and [[Dirk Benedict]] both refusing to return after reading the initial scripts.

==Short life==

The series had a promising start with a three-hour adventure that saw Troy, Dillon and Jamie sent back in time to Nazi Germany to save the future, but the series could not sustain this momentum; it was unceremoniously cancelled after only ten episodes, many of which were multi-part stories, or what would be referred to now as [[story arc|arcs]]. The final episode featured the return of [[Dirk Benedict]] as Lt. Starbuck from the original series in a [[flashback]] episode, but it wasn't enough to save the series.

Many fans do not consider ''Galactica 1980'' to be [[canon]]ical with the original series; many cite ''Galactica 1980'' as one of the worst shows in science fiction history.

==Syndication and beyond==

The ten ''Galactica 1980'' episodes were rolled into the television [[syndication]] package for ''Battlestar Galactica'' and were given the same title as its parent program. Several episodes were also released on [[home video]] under the title ''Conquest of the Earth''.

==Episode list==

* ''Regarding Second Season Renewal''

:So it's official: we're doing a second season.

:To say that this is happy news is to indulge in a display of understatement. The road to television success is a long one, littered with various hurdles, all of which must be vaulted: the studio pitch session, the network pitch, the story outline, the first draft script, the second draft script, the green-light to produce [[Mini-Series|the pilot]], casting the pilot, making the pilot, ordering the series, producing the series, getting the reviews, getting an audience, and then.... getting a second season. We've managed to clear that hurdle and it feels frakking good.

:We've been working on the first six episodes for a couple of months now and we're gearing up to prep them for filming, probably in late March. Season Two will be heavily influenced by the end of [[Season 1 (2004-05)|Season One]], so it's hard to get into anything remotely specific until the [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II|last episode]] has aired in the US. I could say... well... er... not much. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

* ''"Will we ever get any more of the back story to the Cylon Wars?, ie What started them and how did the [[Colonials|Colonists]] (sic) drive them away."''

:We will see more of this backstory as the series unfolds. Some of the inter-war period will be explored in the first few episodes of Season 2. Other tales of the first [[Cylon Wars]] will be filled in eventually. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

* ''"Will we see any of the origonal cast appart from Richard Hatch. "''

:It's possible, but not yet on the board. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

* ''"Please show more of the blue collar guys keeping everything in check on the other ships. Guys that would have clocked out and gone home had the holocaust not happened. Not really a question sorry."''

:We have plans for this in the second season. [[Cally]], for instance, never planned to stay in the service and her enlistment was nearly up at the time of the attack. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

*''"Will there be any development between characters on what distinguishes a Sagitaran from Caprican, Virgon, or any of the 12 Colonies? Did they develop seprately their own cultures and even different religions on their worlds? I'm glad the element of different worlds or nationalities was kept in the show."''

:This is an area we didn't get a chance to get very far with in the [[Season 1 (2004-05)|first season]], and I'm hoping we explore more fully in the second. I think that some of the [[Colonies]] have developed very different cultures and attitudes from one another and that it's rich ground for us. We alluded to some differences here and there, but mostly we talked about the "Federal" (for lack of a better word) governmental structures. We do know that there was a sizable opposition to the Colonial government. [[Conoy, Leoben|Leoben]] claimed to be an arms dealer supplying freedom fighters or terrorists, depending on your point of view, and [[Zarek, Tom|Tom Zarek]] was the jailed leader of a sometimes violent opposition, so it stands to reason that there are a wide variety of views, some of which come into violent conflict with one another. It's also worth bearing in mind that one of the uses for which the [[Cylons]] were originally used by the Colonies was as soldiers in their wars against one another. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

* ''"Granted that a season two at this point is just ink on paper punctuated by a big question mark, but I have a “practical” question to ask. Should the series move forward, to what extent would you want to explore the practical issues of life in the fleet–you’ve touched on the basics of food, fuel and water, but how about problems such as finding enough doctors to treat the population, providing life support on ships not originally intended as passenger vessels and dealing with the inevitable fiefdoms arising on these mix and match metal life rafts? "''

:I would very much like to continue exploring these issues in the second year and beyond. I'm intrigued by playing the situation as realistically as dramatically possible and I think these sorts of questions are wonderful material for the show. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}

Nilz

2005-04-13T13:05:59Z

64.251.53.2:

Nilz was the younger son of [[Megan]] who was cared for by [[Miri]], and chastised by older brother [[Kyle]] more often than not for simply being kids rather than soldiers. He apparently had a job of fouling up the Cylon's tracking of the Antillian survivors along with his brother, [[Robus]]. As usual of the younger siblings, he had no say in the decisions of the family, as Kyle acted like an egotistical military general. However, when [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] came in, Nilz participated in planting explosives in the munitions depot by sneaking by the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]] at the time where the [[Cylon Centurion|Centurions]]' backs were turned to the other Centurion!

Like the rest of his family, he stayed behind on [[Antilla]]. ([[The Young Lords]])

Kuralyov enjoys science fiction, Arthurian legend, Classical Greco-Roman history, alternate history, and left-wing politics. I never saw the original "Battlestar Galactica," and given the average quality of the Sci-Fi Channel's productions didn't know what to expect, but I now am sure glad I watched the mini-series and got hooked to the new BSG.

Can someone please tell me what the hell "Zoic" means?

== Introduction ==

"Gizmo Jumpjet" has recently taken a break from political blogging to indulge in some of his more enjoyable if less profound pastimes, such as collecting antiquities and watching sci-fi. Also, college. He was extremely excited to hear about the new ''Galactica'' series and was wholly enraged that the Brits got to screen the new series first. He managed to find some comfort in the well-crafted episode guides of the Battlestar Wiki, which will, it is hoped, tide him over until all of the episodes have aired in the United States.

== Trivia ==

"Gizmo Jumpjet" lives in Houston, Texas and is of Welsh/German extraction. He collects ancient Roman and Greek coins when he has spare cash, focusing particularly on the silver antoniniani of Gordian III. Recently he has decided to begin collecting Victorian ephemera, such as straight razors. He was an avid tabletop wargamer until he realized what a foolish waste of time and money it was.

"Gizmo Jumpjet" was a fan of the original ''Galactica'' series, but recently seeing it again on the SciFi channel made him realize how foolish kids can be. He's greatly relieved that the new series seems not to suck. He'd watch it anyway, though, since he loves any story that takes place on a space ship, except Andromeda, because it '''sucks bigtime'''.

He is currently working on reading the entire Sherlock Holmes [http://www.bakerstreet221b.de/canon/ Canon], which can probably be blamed for his recent interest in the the UK's Victorian era. He's very impressed with Holmes' adventures.

"Gizmo Jumpjet" was always a good speller and won't hesitate to hunt out typos, no matter in what dark corner of the wiki they may choose to hide their worthless sevles.

"Gizmo Jumpjet" is extremely good looking, witty, charming, and wealthy, which, as you might imagine, tends to make him rather popular with the ladies. How he manages to find so much time to do things like work on a Battlestar Wiki is anyone's guess...

==Notes==
"Ernestborg9" is the handle of a long-time science fiction fan. While he admits to not being particularly keen on the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|original series]], he has written extensively about the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|re-imagined series]] for a number of websites and other mediums globally. Working with [[Beaudoin, Joseph J.|Joe Beaudoin]], he has been responsible for the look and feel of articles within the Battlestar Wiki, and has contributed well over 100 articles.

Away from science-fiction, he works within the aerospace industry, specifically in the area of human space flight and manned Mars Missions - an odd occuptation for a UK resident, given that country currently does not support human space flight!

Re-imagined Series References

2005-03-01T14:57:41Z

64.251.53.2:

See also: [[Original Series References]]

== [[Mini-Series]] ==

=== References to [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Battlestar Galactica]] ===
*The Cylon design the [[Armistice Officer]] is looking at in the beginning, and the [[Cylon Centurion]] in the ''Galactica'''s museum, are from the original show.
*A model of the original series' [[Cylon Basestar]] is also in the ''Galatica'''s museum.
*The theme played during the current affairs programme used to introduce Dr. [[Baltar, Gaius|Gaius Baltar]] is that of the original series fanfare. The fanfare is again heard during the decommissioning Viper flyby
*[[Baltar]] tells [[Number Six]] that "the last time anyone saw a Cylon ''[i.e., the original series]'', they looked like walking chrome toasters."
*Baltar tells Number Six that "treason gets the death penalty;" in the original series, a point was made of the death penalty being abolished, even for treason.
*In the first encounter between the Colonial Vipers and the [[Cylon Raiders]], one of the pilots says that during the first war, Raiders looked like flying wings (the original series' Raider design).
*One of the ''Galactica'''s pilots who is killed by the Cylons is called Jolly, the name of a ''Galactica'' pilot from the original series.
*Roslin makes a point of calling [[Lee]] "[[Captain Apollo]]," saying "it has a nice ring to it."
*At the end of the mini-series, [[Valerii, Sharon|Boomer]] says "by your command," the standard response of the original series' Cylons to the [[Imperious Leader]].

=== Other References ===
*[[Number Six]]'s name is a reference to the character of the same name from "[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061287/combined The Prisoner]"
*''Serenity'', the ship from the show "[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/combined Firefly]," can be seen through the window above [[Roslin]]'s head when she is diagnosed with cancer. Firefly and Battlestar Galactica shared the same special-effects studio ([[Zoic]], which put in the ''Serenity'') and several of the same writers.
*[[Tigh, Saul|Colonel Tigh]] burning the eye out of a picture of his wife is a reference to a similar scene in ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078788/combined Apocalypse Now]'' with Martin Sheen's character.
*The Gemenon liner's ID number is 1701; in [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092455/combined Star Trek: The Next Generation] (which had many episodes written by ''Battlestar Galactica''s developer) the Enterprise's ID number is 1701.
*The gun used by Helo, Boomer, and other pilots is a homage to the guns used in the movie ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/combined Blade Runner]'' (which also starred [[Edward James Olmos]]).
*Roslin's swearing-in as President is a reference to the famous photograph of Lyndon B. Johnson being sworn in as President onboard Air Force One, after Kennedy's assassination.
*''[[Colonial One]]'''s design was based on Air Force One, and the [[Raptor]]'s design was based on the Apache helicopter.

==[[33]]==
*(Also seen elsewhere in the series)The format of the opening titles, a series of clips representing the story of the Cylon attack on the twelve colonies and the exodus of the fleet (all taken from the [[Mini-Series]], followed by clips from the upcoming episode, is a homage to the ITC / Century 21 television series [[Wikipedia:Space 1999|Space 1999]], which [[Moore, Ronald D.]] admits to having watched while growing up.
* (Also seen elsewhere in the series) The photograph pilots touch on entering / leaving the Ready Room is called [["Lest We Forget"]] and shows a Colonial soldier falling to his knees on witnessing the destruction of the capital of Arilon during the Cylon Attack. This is a direct homage to the pictures of NYFD personnel at Ground Zero on 9/11, while the title is drawn from the John Ford-directed film "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" starring John Wayne.
* The ''[[Rising Star]]'' mentioned as the birthplace of the fleet's first baby is a reference to the luxury liner ''Rising Star'' from the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|original series]]

==[[Bastille Day]]==
*[[Zarek, Tom|Tom Zarek]] is played by [[Hatch, Richard]], famous for his role as [[Captain Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] in the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|original series]]
*The title is a reference to the event that began the French Revolution, when a crowd of around 1,000 stormed the [[Wikipedia:Bastille Bastille prison]] in Paris. In this case, the prison is a prison ship, and the prisoners themselves take it over.
*The ''[[Astral Queen]]'''s design is identical to the [[TOS Prison Barge|Prison Barge]] from the original series.
*The "I'm a bus driver, not a warden," comment from the [[Wikens|Astral Queen's captain]] is a reference to Dr. McCoy's quips from "[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060028/combined Star Trek]."

==[[Act of Contrition]]==
*In the flashback to Zak's funeral, there are American military HumVees and Duece-and-a-Half trucks on the Colonial base.

==[[You Can't Go Home Again]]==
*This episode shares some similarity with the final ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' episode, "The Return of Starbuck," where Starbuckis stranded on a desert moon, and uses a crashed Cylon Raider to return to the ''[[Galactica]]''.
*The "waggling" scene with [[Adama, Lee|Apollo]]'s viper and [[Thrace, Kara|Starbuck]]'s Cylon Raider is a nod to the original series; [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] had to "waggle" their own Cylon Raider in order to convey they were friendlies, after losing their transmitter in "[[The Hand of God (TOS)|The Hand of God]]".

==[[Litmus]]==
*The name of the episode refers to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litmus_test litmus test], used in chemistry to detrmien the presence of an acid.
*Commander Adama has copies of "Reader's Digest" in his cabin.
*Number Six says, "Don't make me angry, Gaius. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry." This is a possible reference to the famous catchphrase of Dr. Bruce Banner, just before turning into the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hulk Incredible Hulk]: "You're making me angry, and you're not going to like me when I'm angry."

==[[Six Degrees of Separation]]==
*The name of the episode is a reference to the [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108149/combined movie of the same name], and share a similar concept - that everyone cna be connected to others (in this case, Baltar, the dead scientist, and Shelly).

==[[The Hand of God]]==
*A reference to the final episode of the original series, also called ''The Hand of God''; in both episodes, Adama launches the first offensive strike against Cylon bases.
*In both episodes, "wing-waggles" are used to identify the friendly itnents of captured Cylon Raiders to other Colonials.

==[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I|Kobol's Last Gleaming]]==
*In both this episode and the original series ''The Hand of God'', the Colonials track Cylon Raiders using IFF transponders.
*Both ''Kobol's Last Gleaming'' and the original series ''The Lost Planet of the Gods'' are two-part episodes where the ''Galactica'' finds Kobol.

Rising Star

2005-03-01T14:51:15Z

64.251.53.2: /* Re-imagined Series */

==[[RDM Battlestar Galactica|Re-imagined Series]]==

A liner within the Colonial fleet, the ''Rising Star'' saw the first birth of a Colonial since the [[Cylon Attack]] ([[33]]). [[Ellen Tigh]] was unconscious on it for three weeks following the [[Cylon attack]] before [[Adama|Adama, William]] located her ([[Secrets and Lies]]).

==[[TOS Battlestar Galactica|Original Series]]==
[[Image:tos-rising-star.jpg|thumb|The Original Series' ''Rising Star'' (credit: Universal / ABC)]]

A former luxury liner the ''Rising Star'' was used to ferry people to all of the [[Twelve Colonies]], allied home worlds and outposts. The ''Rising Star'' survived the Cylon Attack because she was in transit between worlds when the attack began and is now one of the primary food/recreation vessels in the rag-tag fleet.

Croft

2005-02-04T15:09:50Z

64.251.53.2:

Commander Croft is a honorable man who has been through rough situations that have put him at odds with that which he served. Before being court-martialed by the Colonial Military, he served as commander of an ice garrison on [[Kalpa]], having the advanced skills of a demolition and mountaineering expert. He was married to [[Leda]], who apparently had a love/hate relationship with him; this, according to her, "invites trouble".

He was sentenced to the [[Prison Barge (TOS)|Prison Barge]], apparently before it joined the Fleet, for not handing over the spoils of a [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]]-held platinum mine within his sphere of influence. He was later polled from the [[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica's]] computer mainframe for a mission on ice planet [[Arcta]] to destroy the deadly [[Ravishol Pulsar]]. In return, [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] promised a pardon of all crimes committed before their acceptance of the mission.

During the climb to the mountain's top, where a vent to the pulsar was located, he saved the life of [[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]] from the scheming [[Wolfe]] and made sure that the mission was successful. This was in spite of harsh and biting comments from Leda, who asked how he could help the very people that imprisoned him. To Croft, despite his wrong, he was willing to sacrifice his life as he could not bear to kill his own, unlike Wolfe.

Although their mission was a success, it cost the life of his wife, Leda, who saved him from the armed Command Centurion [[Vulpa]]. ([[Gun on Ice Planet Zero]]) His future whereabouts are unmentioned for the remainder of the series.

Portrayed by [http://us.imdb.com/M/person-exact?+Roy+Thinnes Roy Thinnes]

== Notes ==

Fans tend to refer to Croft as a colonel, as opposed to a commander (as the [[Gun on Ice Planet Zero]] script indicates). However, speaking of circumstances from this episode, it seems he acts more of a colonel rather than a commander (at least of Adama's, [[Cain]]'s or [[Kronus]]' statures). Indeed, he might very well be a colonel in the equivalent of the Colonial navy, thus the commander is probably just a Colonial Warrior's ranking.

Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II

2005-02-01T13:36:37Z

64.251.53.2: /* Nods */

[[Image:bsg-klg2-1.jpg|thumb|"Kobol's Last Gleaming Part 2" (credit: Sci-Fi Channel)]]
== Overview ==
''Starbuck has gone to Caprica. Adama insists Roslin must stand down as President. When she refuses, he is forced to deal with that situation while simultaneously adapting the plan to rid themselves of the Cylon baseship over Kobol''

== Summary ==
*[[Raptor]] 1 is down on [[Kobol]] and is on fire, as the crew struggle to get out and remove the boides of the dead and injured, [[Baltar, Gaius|Baltar]] becomes trapped by fire in the back of the vehicle
* [[Crashdown]] tries to help him, but Baltar is too terrified to move. [[Number Six|Six]] appears and gives Baltar the strength to escape by giving the impression ''she'' is helping him out of the ship
* As they get clear, the ship explodes, and Baltar wanders into the long grass before collapsing, as the rest of the crew start checking on their injured
* [[Adama, William|Adama]] challenges [[Roslin, Laura|Roslin]] over [[Thrace, Kara|Starbuck's]] actions with the [[Cylon Raider]] and she admits her role
* Adama requests her resignation as President. Roslin refuses. He states he is terminating her presidency. When she reveals the press are recording the conversation, he hangs up
* He isolates ''[[Colonial One]]' using the [[CAP]] to physically isolate it, and by jamming all communications from it. He then orders [[Tigh, Saul|Colonel Tigh]] and [[Adama, Lee|Lee Adama]] to set-up a strike force to take ''Colonial One''
* Visiting [[Valerii, Sharon#"Boomer" Valerii|Boomer]] in sickbay, Adama asks her to fly a dangerous mission: take a Raptor fitted with a Cylon [[IFF]] transponder, jump to the Cylon [[Baseship|baseship]] and drop a nuclear bomb into its landing bay before jumping clear
* The strike team flies to an isolated ''Colonial One'' aboard two Raptors, lead by Tigh and Lee Adama, and they start cutting their way into the ship
* Boomer's Raptor makes it through the Cylon perimeter around the baseship, but the bombe release mechanism fails, forcing them to land inside the basestar and attempt a manual removal of the bomb
* While there, Boomer encounters a number of her "sisters". While she tries to claim she is human, they inform her she cannot escape destiny
* After she leaves on the Raptor, her "sisters" make no attempt to disarm or remove the bomb
* On Kobol, Baltar recognises Six "saved" him, and she takes him to see exactly why he has been chosen by God, ans she walks him towards the ruined Tomb of Athena
* Entering it, he is shown the "face of things to come", apparently a baby in a crib, the "first of the new generation of God's children" - and he is to be their protector
* Roslin refuses Adama's final request to yield and her security team ready themselves for an assault and the strike team access the ship
* A confrontation ensues between Colonial forces and Roslin's security. It is broken only when Lee Adama sides with his conscience, and turns on Tigh. Afraid of a bloodbth, Roslin surrenders and Lee Adama is arrested
* Roslin is returned to the ''Galactica'' and placed in the brig, while Lee Adama is in irons in CIC
* Boomer and Racetrack arrive in CIC following the success of the attack on the baseship, and as he thanks them, Boomer shoots Adama twice at close range, seriously wounding him

=== On Caprica: ===
* [[Valerii, Sharon#Caprica Valerii|Valerii]] has taken [[Agathon, Karl C.|Helo]] to hide near the [[Delphi]] Museum of The Colonial (something)
* She is aware of the importance of the [[Arrow of Apollo]]
* They have discussed the fact that she is a Cylon (rather than a Cylon-created human clone as Helo suggested ([[Colonial Day]]))
* She reveals the her relationship with him is important as it brings the Cylons closer to God. She also reveals she is pregnant
* Starbuck completes her long-range jump and arrives over [[Caprica]]. Passing through Cylon lines, she sets down in Delphi and heads for the museum
* [[Locating the Arrow of Apollo]] she is confronted by [[Number Six|Six]] and a fight ensues in which Starbuck is initially badly beaten, before a last-minute rush sends them both over a landing, killing Six
* Helo comes to Starbuck's aid, and she panics when she sees Valerii, but Helo stops Starbuck from shooting her, citing that she's pregnant

== Questions ==
* Are Adama's wounds fatal?
* What will be public reaction when the news of [[Roslin, Laura|Roslin's]] arrest finally breaks through the communication's embargo?
* Who will take over as the civil leader with Roslin in the brig and [[Baltar, Gaius|Baltar]] "lost" somewhere on the surface of [[Kobol]]?
* How will [[Tigh, Saul|Tigh]] rise to the demands of command?
* What is the baby in the crib?
** The offspring from Valerii and [[Agathon, Karl C.|Helo]]?
** The future offspring of Baltar and a corporeal [[Number Six|Six]]?
* If the Cylons understand the significance of the Arrow of Apollo (and by extension, the Tomb of Athena), why don't they use them themselves find [[Earth]]?
** Are the Cylons genuinely interested in Earth, or has it simply been a means to bring them to Kobol?
* If they want the humans to find Earth, why try and prevent Starbuck from taking the Arrow in the first place?
* Why didn't the sound of Starbuck's Raider landing attract Helo's attention sooner? He's across the road from the museum, and so could hardly fail to see it touch down, or see Starbuck climb the steps to the museum itself.
* How did Six know Starbuck's name so readily? Is this a pointer to her being in communication with her "sister" in Baltar's head? Or having been in communication with Conoy ([[Flesh and Bone]])?
* Did Boomer sabotage the bomb release mechanism, thus forcing herself into landing on the baseship?
* Why didn't [[Racetrack]] raise concerns about [[Valerii, Sharon|Boomer's]] ability to survive in a vacuum on their return to the ''[[Galactica]]''?
* Did the IFF transponders genuinely work, or did the Cylons simply allow Starbuck's Raider to pass and the Raptor to reach the baseship in order for Starbuck and Boomer to continue along their "paths"?
* How many operational [[Raptor|Raptors]] does the ''Galactica'' have? [[Water]] give the impression she had five. A total of six are used in Part I and Part II of "Kobol's Last Gleaming".

== Analysis ==
An extraordinary ending to a remarkable first season; not by any means a traditional cliff-hanger episode so frequently used by sci-fi writers, it nevertheless fulfils the same purpose by both bringing several of the on-going arcs of the season together, without actually tying the thread together nor leaving them dangling in the wind. The result is to confirm much of the speculation developed throughout the first season, while simultaneously opening the overall arc of the series by providing both crises and a glimpse of the future.

As with “Kobol’s Last Gleaming, Part 1”, music plays an important part of the episode – particularly with reference to Baltar’s visions in the ruins of Kobol, where the string orchestration used in the teaser of Part 1 becomes the motif for Baltar’s transition from confused pawn to willing participant in the Cylon’s plan. Similarly, music is used to indicate Boomer’s shifts between her human and Cylon selves. And the counterpoint couldn’t be more interesting: while both utilise strings, the harmony around Baltar’s enlightenment indicates - as Six points out – the rhythm of his life falling into line with God’s will, whereas the discordant working of strings around Boomer’s contact with her “sisters” underscores the final collapse of her human will, opening the door to her Cylon personality to take control of her conscious actions and shoot Adama when the time comes.

And it is with Boomer that some of the arcs of season one draw together: yes, Valerii on Caprica is pregnant; yes love and procreation were the keys to Cylon desire with her and Helo; yes her true nature would be revealed to her crewmates – if not directly through her actions in shooting Adama, then certainly through Starbuck’s return to the Galactica. While Starbuck is liable to be thrown into the brig on her return, that’s no reason for Tigh and others not to believe claims about Boomer in light of what she has seen on Caprica and what has happened in CIC.

Another element that is finally revealed is what the Cylon’s really want out of Baltar – but this in itself raises questions. Not only about his relationship with Six, but also about the future of the Helo / Valerii storyline, and those questions centre on what he saw in the crib.

That he was seeing into the future is clear: but is the child he sees the product of Helo’s relationship with Valerii, or his own (future) relationship with a corporeal Six? On the one hand, much of what is seen points to the child being born of Valerii: she admits her condition to Helo (and thus opens the door to him remaining on Caprica with her while Starbuck returns to the Galactica with the Arrow) and the Cylons were apparently aiming for her to become pregnant by Helo (or at least, Doral and Six showed no surprised when she reported her lovemaking with him). But – Six’s words to Baltar as she prepares him to see the future are interesting: “You are the guardian and protector of a new generation of God’s children,” – a somewhat neutral explanation that comes before she smiles, catches her breath and adds, “The first member of our family will be with us soon, Gaius.” This could be a reference to the fact that Valerii is pregnant; however the shift to the possessive “our family” and “with us” could be seen to indicate the child could be Baltar’s own.

And again, how much more of an effective guardian and protector will Baltar be, if he is in fact protecting his own offspring, rather than that of another Cylon / human relationship? And if this is the case, where does that leave the Valerii / Helo relationship?

This episode also reveals some more about Six: if the offspring on the crib she sees with Baltar is that of Valerii and Helo, then it would more or less confirm that she is in contact with corporeal Cylons elsewhere – how else would she know of the developing Valerii / Helo situation otherwise as it started after her “death”? Similarly, it is interesting to note the degree of savagery involved in the beating Six gives Starbuck. In many respects, it mirrors the beating she gave Valerii in “Litmus”; at the time, the viciousness she showed seemed to be linked to the jealousy evident between her and Valerii. We now know that Six has been affected by Baltar’s reaction to sleeping with Starbuck (“Kobol’s Last Gleaming, Part 1”); could the physical beating Starbuck receives be a manifestation of the jealousy she feels for what happened on the Galactica, transmitted to her corporeal sister?

But the key question is what will happen to Adama? It is very hard to conceive of the series progressing without his presence. While the ensemble cast is one of the best put together on-screen, and while many of them – Callis in particular – have put in powerful performances, it is fair to say that Olmos is very much the anchor of this series. Without his strength and gravitas, Battlestar Galactica could end up drifting very badly. Therefore, while it will be interesting to see what new dynamics may develop while Adama is out of commission – how will Tigh handle the vagaries of command, who will he nominate as his XO, etc, – it is essential Adama’s presence is felt sooner rather than later in the next season.

While discussing Adama, it may be interesting to note that his shooting almost brings the story full-circle. As he was dying on [[Ragnar Anchorage]], the [[humano-Cylon]] [[Conoy, Leoben|Leoben Conoy]] warns Adama that, “Sooner or later, the day comes when you can’t hide from the things you’ve done” ([[Mini-Series]]). Adama has waged war on the Cylons – both as a young officer during the Cylon War and now in his efforts to protect his people and the fleet. He has just been responsible for the destruction of a Cylon baseship, complete with many copies of Valerii; and now Valerii has shot him.

And how will the fleet react once word of Roslin’s arrest breaks through the communications blackout the Galactica inflicted on Colonial One? What can the civilians do? In many respects Adama holds all the cards – or would do, were he in a fit condition. His ship is the key to the protection of the fleet. She is pretty much unassailable, and without her facilities, 16,000 people in the fleet would very soon be without water (“Water”). Therefore, it is hard to see anyone stepping too far out of line when it comes to making major decisions: where the fleet will go, what it will do, etc. But within the civilian community, it is hard not so see repercussions: Roslin has been arrested; Baltar is missing, possibly dead. Who is available to take the civil reigns? Wallace Gray (“Colonial Day”)? Tom Zarek (“Bastille Day”; “Colonial Day”). Is it a coincidence that not too long before, at the Quorum of Twelve, Zarek himself raised the spectre of a military coup – and that’s more-or-less what they now have on their hands?

All told, this episode generates outstanding drama that demands a successful renewal and second season. It brings what has been an excellent first season to a powerful close, reflecting the almost unbroken run of quality drama evidenced by the show. Indeed the overall quality in terms of production, writing, casting and acting more than demonstrates both Ronald Moore and David Eick are correct in limiting the show to 13-episode runs.

== Notes ==
* This episode takes place directly after those of [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]
* Cylon vessels are indeed capable of very long-range jumps
* [[Delphi]] was once a cultural centre on Caprica, and apparently held a lot of historical / religious artefacts
* Cylon basestars appear bio-mechanical, like like Raiders
* In [[Water]] it was apparently established that the ''Galactica'' had 5 [[Raptor|Raptors]] on board: [[Adama, William|Adama]] orders all Raptors to survey local star systems for water bearing planets, 5 are dispatched. This episode reveals ''Galactica'' actually has 6: 1 is destroyed over [[Kobol]], one crashes on Kobol; three take part in the raid on ''[[Colonial One]]'', 1 simultaneously carries a nuclear warhead to the Cylon basestar,

===Nods===
The use of [[IFF]] transponders by the Cylons is an indirect nod to [[TOS Battlestar Galactica|the original series]], in which [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] use an IFF-type device to identify their [[Cylon Raider|Original Series Raider]] to Colonial forces when they launch an attack on a Cylon Basestar ([[The Hand of God (TOS)]]
