'''Tomas Vergis''' is a [[Tauron (RDM)|Tauron]] computer scientist and competitor of [[Daniel Graystone]]. Like Daniel, he leads his own computer and robotics corporation, the [[Vergis Corporation]].

After [[Zoe Graystone|his daughter's]] death in a suicide bombing, Daniel, with the help of Tauron attorney [[Joseph Adama]], steal Vergis's technology, a [[meta-cognitive processor]] (MCP) in order to revive their daughters in robotic bodies, thus creating the first [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]]. Vergis does not take legal action against Daniel or his company, although rumors and suspicions about the theft circulate within the [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprican]] Ministry of Defense ([[CAP]]: ''[[Caprica pilot]]'').

Approximately a month and a half after the bombing, Vergis arrives on Caprica and personally confronts Daniel about the theft, informing him that two of his employees--close relatives and friends on Tauron--were murdered in the process. Soon afterward, he offers to buy the [[Caprica Buccaneers]] [[Pyramid (RDM)|pyramid]] team from Daniel, reminding him that his company is short on cash and that an infusion of liquidity from the team's sale would give them time to resolve problems with [[U-87]] development. The offer to buy the C-Bucs, however, is revealed to be the first step in a personal vendetta against Graystone for the theft and murders, to strip him of the things he loves and ultimately "tear up your dream."

During this trip, Vergis makes time for a public relations campaign, appearing as a guest on ''[[Backtalk with Baxter Sarno]]'' and surprising the audience with news that he will permanently relocate to Caprica and apply for Caprican citizenship ([[CAP]]: "[[Know Thy Enemy]]").

Some time later, Vergis visits [[Amanda Graystone]], and tells her about the crimes and her husband's involvement in them ([[CAP]]: "[[Ghosts in the Machine]]"). After initially denying it, the information [[End of Line|horrifies her and threatens both her marriage and her emotional stability]].

Recognizing that the U-87 relies upon stolen technology and that Graystone Industries will be unable to meet its deadline for delivery of one hundred thousand copies of the robot, Colonel [[Sasha Patel]] formally offers Vergis the contract for U-87 production, paving the way for him to become the corporation's CEO ([[CAP]]: "[[End of Line]]"). As the new public face of Graystone Industries, Vergis proudly boasts the now-successful mass production of U-87s. Behind the scenes, he continues to strip away Daniel's influence over the corporation by, among other things, ordering the destruction of the ruined prototype U-87 ([[CAP]]: "[[Unvanquished]]"). Vergis' successes are not enough to preserve his position as CEO. A blackmail campaign orchestrated by Daniel and the [[Ha'la'tha]] convinces the board of directors to vote unanimously against him in favor of Daniel ([[CAP]]: "[[Things We Lock Away]]").

Vergis quickly recognizes the hand of the Ha'la'tha in his overthrow, and knows that the crime syndicate will eventually kill him. He visits Daniel and asks for his help in ending his life at a time and manner of his own choosing. For a moment, Vergis seems to agree to Daniel's proposal of an alliance in resisting the Ha'la'tha, but when Daniel relaxes and steps closer to him, Vergis takes advantage of the moment, forces Daniel's hand onto the grip of a knife, and pushes the blade into his own chest ([[CAP]]: "[[Things We Lock Away]]").

==Notes==
*Although reported in various sites that Vergis would be played by [[Roger R. Cross]], he is absent in both the finished pilot and the accompanying deleted scenes. ''Spoiler TV'' published a casting call for Vergis indicating that the character was to be introduced in the episode "[[Know Thy Enemy]]", which later proved accurate.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.spoilertv.com/2009/07/exclusive-caprica-episode-106-know-thy.html|title=Exclusive - Caprica - Episode 1.06 - Know Thy Enemy - Casting Call |date=July 28, 2009|accessdate=December 19, 2009|last=|first=|format=|language=English}}</ref> However, the casting of Roger Cross seem to have been legitimate as can be viewed on [http://www.rogercross.net/projects.htm Cross's official (albeit outdated) site]. There was even a still from the pilot featuring Vergis as portrayed by Cross displayed at Syfy's official ''Caprica'' gallery, but has since been removed.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://community.livejournal.com/battlestar_blog/1890930.html|title=battlestar_blog: First picture of Luciana in Caprica|date=December 4, 2009|accessdate=December 19, 2009|last=|first=|format=|language=English}}</ref> <ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.syfy.com/caprica/photos.php?sub=amanda_graystone|title=Amanda Graystone Photos |date=|accessdate=December 19, 2009|last=|first=|format=|language=English}}</ref>

== The Final Cylon, Conception and Prophecy ==

:"The missing 3 will give you the five who come from the home of the thirteenth"

The human/cylon child hera obviously has a central role in the series. This is evidenced by her prescence in the opera house, 6 and baltar's delusion that the child is theirs, and the desire of both the human's and the cylons to retain possession of the child. Ill avoid discussing the the childs intended representation as the next evolutionary step in mankinds developement in order to emphasize a few overlooked facts. Conception has eluded the cylons until hera's birth. They can build machines, but they cannot create life. This leaves them unable to fufill the Cylon God's law to be fruitfull and multiply, i.e. procreate. If they cannot concieve they remain outside their god's will.

::A. HERA - is the product of a female cylon (sharon) and a male human (helo) thus estalishing that conception is possiblewith a couple composed of these constituient parts.
::B. NICK- is the product of a male cylon (tyrol) and a female human (cally) validating this type of conception is possible.
::C. BABY6 - is the product of a male cylon and a female cylon the last remaining combination and supposedly not possible. (is it tighs love for ellen a human that enables this conception ?)

However, back to the puzzle the missing 3 (Hera , Nick, Baby6) are 3 misssing babies will give you the five; so there must be a relationship here to the final five

TIGH....parent
TYROL......parent
Tory....hid baby hera at roslins direction
Sam.......I could use help on him

which leaves only 1 who has to be related in some way to the hybrid babies.....and which im keeping to myself....the baby's are the clue see if you can piece it together {{unsigned|Richnpoor}}

== Mechanical humanoid Cylons ==
How should we handle the mechanical humanoid Cylons from Caprica? Should we create a separate article for them, or should we give them a section in this article? -- [[User:Gordon Ecker|Gordon Ecker]] 22:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
:An own article might be warranted. We'll see when it airs. I don't think we should put them together with the modern humanoid Cylons. From what I read so far, they are more like machines, possibly with some biological components. But not ''humanoid''. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
::[[Zoe Graystone|Zoe-R]] looks completely human in the Caprica trailer. -- [[User:Gordon Ecker|Gordon Ecker]] 01:44, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

== Final Five ==
Should the Final Five section of the article be edited to match the layout of the Significant Seven part? To me personally it makes sense, simply for neatness and a better flow for the article. My proposed change is that each Final Five Cylon would have a subheading, picture and short blurb ala the Significant Seven. Instead of having the current subheading "The Final Cylon Model" we'd have "Samuel Anders", "Tory Foster", "Ellen Tigh", "Saul Tigh" and "Galen Tyrol" (I've went by alphabetical surname). Thoughts? -- [[User:Joveus|Joveus]] 08:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
:I couldn't agree more. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 14:45, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
::Well I've made the changes. I've also removed the "Thirteenth Cylon" bit because nothing has really been said about it in the series. However I think that might turn up on "A Disquiet Follows My Soul" tonight so maybe it'll come back. The article is 40kb now, and apparantly some browsers have difficulty supporting over 32kb. -- [[User:Joveus|Joveus]] 07:59, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I removed the sentence ''"Their bodies at the time of the First Cylon War and the Fall of the Twelve Colonies are not their original bodies, which were destroyed by the nuclear warfare on Earth."'' as [[The Plan]] reveals this to be false. --[[User:Lord Wolfe|Lord Wolfe]] 03:54, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
:No, it doesn't. Were you thinking the bodies in the tanks were their originals? They aren't. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 05:25, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

== Significant Eight and Final Five? ==

Personally, I always thought "Significant Seven" and "Final Five" were a little too cute, and changing it to "Significant Eight" is simply grating. Now that we know the full difference between the two sets, maybe we can use more appropriate descriptors, say, "Colonial Cylons" for the Seven/Eight, and "Terran Cylons" for the Five. -- [[User:David cgc|David cgc]] 13:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
*"Significant Seven" is a term coined by RDM himself. Apparently that's what the writers call them. -- [[User:Troyian|Troyian]] 13:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
:Indeed, but Significant Eight is a silly term now that they've added another. They are the humanoid Cylons made by the final five if you want to get descriptive, or the ones made near the twelve colonies. Can't call them "The Eight" as that might mean that model.--[[User:Bradtem|bradtem]] 04:58, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
**I think we should keep the titles "Significant Seven" and "Final Five", and just mention the Daniel & the Sevens within the section of the Significant Seven regardless of the fact that there are techincally eight. The fact is that they AREN'T the "significant eight", as only seven of them are significant, and although we should definitely reference the Daniels they are, at least as a model and probably even the one, not present in the story or in the Cylon society at all. -[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 04:37, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Is catchy alliteration that much more important than accuracy? I say go with "The Eight", or maybe "Colonial Cylons" (the Eight) vs. "Earth Cylons" or "Terran Cylons" (the Five). --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 07:16, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
:Significant Seven is a semi-official nickname and Significant Eight is the most logical extrapolation to cover eight models, so I vote for Significant Eight most definitively. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 07:43, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
:The Significant Seven are the cylons covered by Baltar/Sixes conversation on the base ship after New Caprica. Daniel can not be counted as part of the significant SEVEN. Daniel's place in the continuity is minimal but great enough to be just called the 7th or plain Daniel.

== Zoe ==

Shouldn't Zoe Graystone be mentioned here somewhere? [[User:Ausir|Ausir]] 23:24, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

: No, because she's not a humanoid Cylon. Technically, she's not even a skin-job, she's more of an android with biological components. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 00:03, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
:: She can be mentioned in a development-history kind of sense. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 01:12, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that's what I meant. [[User:Ausir|Ausir]]

Deckhand

2009-03-10T23:58:59Z

Ausir:

[[Image:Galactica's deckhands.jpg|Chief Galen Tyrol and his deckhands.|thumb|right]]

'''Deckhands''' are multi-faceted crewmembers on [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestars]] who prepare and maintain Colonial [[Viper (RDM)|fighters]] and [[Raptor|reconnaissance vehicles]] for flight and turnaround.

Led at one time by ''[[Galactica|Galactica's]]'' senior non-commissioned officer, Chief Petty Officer [[Galen Tyrol]], before he is [[Escape Velocity|demoted]], and currently by Chief Petty Officer [[Peter Laird]], deckhands (also nicknamed, sometimes derisively, as "knuckledraggers") are tasked with keeping the limited number of Vipers and Raptors ready at all times for [[Combat Air Patrol]]s, Raptor [[The Fleet (RDM)|intra-Fleet]] shuttle flights, and large-scale engagements with [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] forces.

Deckhand jumpsuits come in several colors, suggesting that some have had specific duties or training, at least prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. The jumpsuits have optional pockets for the myriad of tools and equipment that must be carried about for certain tasks.

Deckhands serve on launch crews, repair and maintenance crews, damage control teams, and many other duties as assigned.

Frequently seen deckhands in the [[Re-imagined Series]] include [[Galen Tyrol]], [[Cally Tyrol]], [[Diana Seelix]], [[James Lyman]] and [[Anthony Figurski]].

All deckhands are enlisted personnel.

In a covert plan, [[Tom Zarek]], [[Felix Gaeta]], a handful of Marines, civilians and members of the Galactica crew in key positions set in motion their '''mutiny''':

==Causes==
After the [[Sometimes a Great Notion|disappointment]] following the discovery of [[Thirteenth Tribe|Earth]], Roslin's power as a religious icon diminishes. Admiral Adama, proposes an alliance with the rebel Cylons. Despite the fact that the [[Quorum of Twelve]] voted against allowing Cylons into the various ships of the fleet, the Admiral declares the matter a military decision, and orders them to permit these upgrades ([[The Oath]]). Zarek attempts to stop the alliance by arranging for the Tylium ship jump away from the fleet, rather than submit to ''Galactica'''s authority, but Adama blackmails him into giving up the location of the ship ([[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]). Gaeta, disgusted with the actions of his commanding officer, meets with Zarek to plan a simultaneous mutiny and political coup.

==Beginning==
Having already felt out those he can trust, Gaeta walks into the Brig and with the help of sympathetic Marines, frees Vice President [[Zarek]] and escorts him to the Hanger Deck. On the hanger deck, Lt. Margaret "[[Racetrack]]" Edmondson, convinces the deck crew and assembled civilians that her Raptor is leaking fuel, and that one spark could set off an explosion, orders them all to evacuate the Deck. This in turn allows Zarek to approach the Raptor unseen, but they are interrupted by Deck Chief Laird. Laird speaks up that the Raptor is on hold for emergency medical transport and not any bogus VIP shuttle. While Gaeta unsuccessfully attempts to try and explain the group out of this unexpected hurdle, Zarek manages to sneak up behind Laird and picking up a wrench, hits him over the head killing him. Gaeta is visibly angered by this killing, but Zarek warns him that Laird won't be the only victim.

When Gaeta reports for duty, Hoshi notices that there is a launch in progress and that he doesn't have any scheduled in the flight log. Gaeta responds that maybe it is an error and that he should look over the flight log for an update by Laird. When he finds none in the flight log, he suggests calling down to the flight deck. Gaeta stops him and points out that there is no Transponder signal and when Tigh questions Gaeta, his response is that it is probably a [[dradis]] ghost. The Admiral and XO fall for it and Zarek escapes to Colonial One where he surprises Lee and the Quorum of 12 when he walks in on their meeting.

In CIC, everything is going according to plan as an alarm sounds indicating a fire on C Deck near the Main Antennas. Adama orders in the DC units, but Gaeta points out that the fire might not be an accident and that they will be in the dark if the antenna array goes down. Adama orders a Marine detail to escort the DC units, thus allowing more Marines to join the mutineers in the forward section of C Deck raiding the small arms locker. Unknown to them is that [[Kara Thrace]] has seen all this. Starbuck arms herself and tries to warn CIC, but Gaeta refuses to let her speak to the Admiral.

Back aboard [[Colonial One]], Zarek suggests to Lee, who is having trouble getting a hold of his father on ''[[Galactica]]'', that the admiral only released him because he didn't believe the civilian government posed a threat to his authority. Lee leaves to prove Zarek wrong, thus leaving the Quorum to Zarek.

In the CIC Gaeta informs Adama and Tigh that they lost communications ship wide as well as backups. On the Hanger Deck, Lee is greeted by Marines and [[Charlie Connor]] who proceed to rough him up and take him hostage. Before they are able to do anything more, [[Starbuck]] interrupts and kills the marine pointing a gun at Lee's head then shoots Skulls in the shoulder. She forces the others to release Lee and the two escape.

Elseshere, the mutineers begin to systematically take hostage all the [[Humanoid Cylon|Cylons]] and those they know are their friends or lovers or otherwise supporters of the current alliance on Galactica. Those taken and locked away in the Cylon brig are [[Caprica-Six]], [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]], [[Helo]], their daughter [[Hera Agathon|Hera]], and one of the Final Five, [[Samuel Anders|Anders]]. [[Galen Tyrol]], however avoids capture so far.

Back in the CIC, Hoshi realizes that the devices used to scan for carbon monoxide sensors should be going through the roof, but he only reads normal levels. Adama is tired of being blind and sends a Private Jaffee to go to C Deck and report back. Once he returns and reports what he has found, Gaeta suddenly orders the Marines to take Adama, Tigh, Hoshi and the senior staff into custody. Rebel Marines draw their weapons and surround the Admiral and his staff. A brief firefight ensues in which Jaffee is killed. Adama reluctantly orders his men to stand down. He and Gaeta then exchange harsh words, both accusing the other of betraying their oaths to defend the ship and her crew. Before he is escorted off the CIC, Adama warns that there will be no forgiveness for those involved in the mutiny.

Meanwhile, Thrace and Lee Adama find Roslin and inform her of the situation. Roslin decides to come out and publicly address the Fleet in hopes that they will listen to her. However, with communications down, they have no way to contact the rest of the Fleet. Roslin knows of one way they can get a message out.

Thrace, Roslin, and Lee make it to Baltar's compartment, where Galen Tyrol is organizing a defense against the mutineers. Tyrol informs them that the admiral has been captured. Starbuck and Lee rush off to find the admiral, while Roslin tries to convince Baltar to let her use his pirate transmitter. Elsewhere, Adama and Tigh overcome their marine escorts, killing one and taking the other hostage. The admiral and Tigh run into Thrace and Lee at the brig where others are being held. The brig is too heavily guarded, so they decide to regroup with Tyrol at a secondary airlock. Meanwhile, Roslin uses Baltar's transmitter to broadcast a partial message to the Fleet before Gaeta jams the signal.

The Adamas, Tigh, Thrace, Tyrol, Roslin, and Baltar all meet up at the secondary airlock where a Raptor is waiting. Roslin and Baltar board the Raptor which heads off for the rebel Basestar, while Admiral Adama and Tigh stay behind to cover the president's escape. Thrace, Lee, and Tyrol head off to continue their fight elsewhere.

==End==
President Roslin and [[Gaius Baltar]] manage to escape ''Galactica'' on a Raptor to the Cylon baseship. Gaeta tries to have her shot down, but after she identifies herself, [[Brendan Costanza|Hotdog]], apparently not in on the mutiny, hesitates and allows Roslin to make it to the baseship safely despite [[Noel Allison|Narcho's]] attempts to destroy the Raptor. Tigh and Adama are captured by marines after being knocked out by a stun grenade, Adama having decided to stay behind to try to retake the ship and Tigh supporting him.

Zarek tries to convince the Quorum, but when Sagittaron delegate [[Jacob Cantrell]] asks him to leave, apparently supporting Roslin, he has them murdered. The Cylons move their ship further into the Fleet for protection but Gaeta scatters it. Roslin manages to make a broadcast about the mutiny, asking the civilian ships to shut down their FTL drives just before she is jammed again. 10 ships follow her orders. Lee Adama and Kara Thrace, still free, manage to break into the brig and rescue the Cylons and Helo and they join the two in the battle to retake the ship. Anders is seriously wounded and Kara stays behind to get him to Doctor [[Cottle]] for medical treatment.

Admiral Adama is tried for various crimes with Gaeta (now a Commander) as the people's representative and Zarek as the judge with [[Romo Lampkin]] as Adama's lawyer. He refuses to betray his beliefs and is sentenced to death by firing squad. Meanwhile Tyrol crawls through the ship's vents to an arms locker where he's ambushed by former LSO Aaron Kelly, but Kelly lets him go, his support of the mutiny faltering. The Cylons on the baseship decide to flee, but Roslin manages to convince them to stay and support Adama and calls ''Galactica'' to demand Zarek and Gaeta's surrender. Gaeta has a firing squad led by Narcho take Adama to a launch tube to be executed and in an attempt to get her to surrender Zarek claims to Roslin that Tigh was killed escaping and Adama was executed, but this only strengthens her resolve and has the baseship's weapons turned on ''Galactica''.

Gaeta gets confirmation that Adama was executed, but in reality he was rescued by Lee and the released prisoners who take Narcho and the firing squad captive having learned where they were from Kelly out of remorse for joining the mutiny. Kara tries to get Anders to sickbay but struggles on her own, however Lampkin manages to escape, killing a marine with a pen and she convinces him to help her. Adama convinces the firing squad to aid him in recapturing the ship, but Narcho refuses to help as despite his respect for the Admiral, he refuses to help anyone who won't fight the Cylons. Adama stops Tigh from executing Narcho on the spot and instead has Narcho tied up .

Adama, Lee, Tigh, Helo, Athena, Kelly, the marine squad, and a gathering crowd of other loyalists make their way towards the CIC. Gaeta tries to jump, but Tyrol manages to manually disable the FTL drive. Specialist Gage turns ''Galactica's'' weapons on the baseship, but Gaeta, realizing he's lost, orders him to stand down and seconds later the Admiral and his men storm CIC and retake it without firing a shot, ending the mutiny. Adama contacts the baseship and gets Roslin and the Cylons to stand down now that he's back in command again. Gaeta later admits to Baltar that he's okay with the fact that he lost. Gaeta and Zarek are later executed by firing squad for their crimes.

In the Podcast for "[[Deadlock]]", RDM states that those mutineers - including Racetrack and Skulls - who did not rejoin Adama have been imprisoned on Zarek's old ship the ''[[Astral Queen]]''.

==Aftermath==
Ironically, the mutiny ends up accomplishing the exact opposite of what it was intended to do. With a considerable number of ''Galactica'''s crew dead or imprisoned, the Colonials start flying joint CAPs with the rebel Cylons. In addition, there is a shortage of marines on ''Galactica''. Adama refuses to let [[Centurions]] on board the ship and instead decides to arm Baltar's cult to help control the civilian population in Dogsville. ([[Deadlock]])

Furthermore, it is during the final stages of this mutiny that Tyrol discovers ominous signs of wear and tear on ''Galactica''. Admiral Adama reluctantly agrees to allow Tyrol to use Cylon bio-technology and Cylon work crews from the Baseship to fix the damage. ([[No Exit]])

The annihilated Quorum of Twelve is replaced by the Quorum of Ships' Captains - which is comprised of delegates representing the individual ships of the Fleet rather than the extinct Twelve Colonies. The Cylons are allowed to send their own representative to this new Quorum. ([[Someone to Watch Over Me]]).

Ausir: /* Tyrol as crewmember */

== Name ==

A good article, but are we all in agreement with the name? I know we have an article on the [[Laura Roslin faction]], although I'm not so sure if it works with this.--[[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 01:01, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

:I'm a little confused about the name myself. I suggest a rename, since I never really heard the word "mutiny", I heard "uprising" a lot though, but I'm not sure about the article called "Gaeta's uprising", or maybe "Zarek's uprising. -- [[User:Matthew R Dunn|Matthew R Dunn]] 00:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

::RDM calls it a mutiny in the podcast. Mark Verheiden calls it a mutiny in [http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/01/battlestar-galactica-oath-adama-roslin-tigh-gaeta.html this interview]. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 16:13, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

:::My problem isn't in the "mutiny" aspect but how it is ''Gaeta's'' mutiny since he is not the only one leading the mutiny.--[[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 17:05, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

:::: He's not the ''only'' one leading the mutiny (Zarek and Connor were also major forces), but he ''is'' the lead force behind it. He organized the mutineers and the entire plot, recruited and freed Zarek for the political aspect, orchestrated the revolt, kept the officers in the dark, and seized Galactica. It really was his mutiny. [[User:Blue Rook|Blue Rook]] 21:20, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

== This page needs serious cleanup ==

1) Need images - Maybe a graphic reprentation of where everything happened
2) Timeline?

Just my thoughts. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 03:26, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think a blueprint of ''Galactica'' has ever been produced, so it would be hard to place the events of the episode on a graphic. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 00:44, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

==Tyrol as crewmember==
Someone keeps putting Tyrol down as "Cylons not part of Galactica's crew". Although he is no longer Chief, he is clearly shown working as a maintenance crewmember. Ergo he is a member of Galactica's crew. This episode predates the start of Cylon workers assisting in ship maintenance. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 16:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
:During the mutiny he was a civilian, having joined the Cylons on the Baseship. He only rejoins the crew after the mutiny. [[User:Ausir|Ausir]] 16:50, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

List of pilots

2009-03-01T16:48:47Z

Ausir:

:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''

:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''

[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.

Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".

A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.

Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.

A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.

List of pilots

2009-03-01T16:31:33Z

Ausir:

:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''

:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''

[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.

Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".

A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.

Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.

A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.

[[Image:Galactica's deckhands.jpg|Chief Galen Tyrol and his deckhands.|thumb|right]]

'''Deckhands''' are multi-faceted crewmembers on [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestars]] who prepare and maintain Colonial [[Viper (RDM)|fighters]] and [[Raptor|reconnaissance vehicles]] for flight and turnaround.

Led at one time by ''[[Galactica|Galactica's]]'' senior non-commissioned officer, Chief Petty Officer [[Galen Tyrol]], before he is [[Escape Velocity|demoted]], and currently by Chief Petty Officer [[Peter Laird]], deckhands (also nicknamed, sometimes derisively, as "knuckledraggers") are tasked with keeping the limited number of Vipers and Raptors ready at all times for [[Combat Air Patrol]]s, Raptor [[The Fleet (RDM)|intra-Fleet]] shuttle flights, and large-scale engagements with [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] forces.

Deckhand jumpsuits come in several colors, suggesting that some have had specific duties or training, at least prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. The jumpsuits have optional pockets for the myriad of tools and equipment that must be carried about for certain tasks.

Deckhands serve on launch crews, repair and maintenance crews, damage control teams, and many other duties as assigned.

Frequently seen deckhands in the [[Re-imagined Series]] include [[Galen Tyrol]], [[Cally Tyrol]], [[Diana Seelix]], [[James Lyman]] and [[Anthony Figurski]].

All deckhands are enlisted personnel.

== Overview ==
''[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] discovers a hidden musical ability that bears a mysterious significance to the final five Cylons, and her tune is found to have a connection with three-year-old human-Cylon hybrid [[Hera Agathon|Hera]]. The president authorizes [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]]'s release from the Brig so she can stand trial for treason on the Cylon Base Ship.''<ref>http://www.locatetv.com/tv/battlestar-galactica/season-4/6118356</ref>

== Summary ==

=== Teaser ===

=== Act 1 ===

=== Act 2 ===

=== Act 3 ===

=== Act 4 ===

== Notes ==
* [[Gaius Baltar]] and [[Caprica-Six]] do not appear in this episode. As with the previous episode, [[Lee Adama]] appears in only a couple of scenes.
* Someone To Watch Over Me is the name of a song composed by George and Ira Gershwin, and featured in the musical Oh, Kay! A major theme of the song is the need to find love and acceptance.
** There was also an episode of [[w:Star Trek: Voyager|Star Trek: Voyager]] named for the song, in which it is performed at the end by The Doctor.
* Weeks have passed since the end of [[Gaeta's Mutiny|the mutiny]], as evidenced by [[Cottle]]'s comment about how long Anders' EKG readings have remained steady.
* Starbuck acknowledges her pilots that the mutiny has "thinned our numbers". This, combined with the apparent absence of pilots such as [[Margaret Edmonson]] and [[Diana Seelix]], confims their involvement in the mutiny did not go unpunished, although exactly what that punishment is remains unknown.
* After her apparent death in "[[Maelstrom]]", Kara's personal belongings were auctioned off. Helo has managed to get them all back for her. However, the only thing Kara is interested in is her father's music tape.
* Some of the music played by the mysterious piano player is from the original series. [[Numian's 3rd Sonata]], Second Movement, is in fact from the opening dialogue of the classic series ("There are those who believe that life here, began out there..."). This is not the first time music from the original series has shown up (i.e. the [[Colonial Anthem]]), and lends to the idea that 'everything has happened before, and will happen again'.
* The brand of toothpaste offered as a prize to the pilots is called "Felgercarb," a word used in the original series to mean "shit." In essence, Kara is offering the pilot who finds a new planet "shit toothpaste."
* The collection of named [[Number Six]] models expands with the addition of Sonja, who becomes the first Cylon to be elected to the Fleet's reconstituted Quorum.

== Analysis ==
* The Cylons seem to have officially joined the Fleet as they now have the representation they wanted on the new Quorum in the form of a Six named Sonja. It is also confirmed that Cylon and Colonial pilots are performing joint [[CAP]]s.
** This is most clearly seen when Athena staggers into the briefing room and Helo orders one of the Six's to go get the medics, the Six unhesitatingly responds "Yes, Sir". Several Sixes are also seen attending Starbuck's "toothpaste briefing".
*It is very possible-but not certain-that the Cylon ability to recognize individual Cylons despite them looking exactly like each other (most of the time, the Sixes seem to have the most variants in hair color and use of makeup, both voluntary actions) relies on actually looking at the individual. In the lavatory where Sharon "Boomer" Valerii severely beaten Sharon "Athena" Agathon, Athena initially mistook Boomer as a generic Eight when she saw her in the reflection of a mirror. It was after she stood up and looked directly at Boomer did Athena recognize her as Boomer. Admittedly however, it is possible that she would had recognized Boomer if she still only watched her in the reflection. Still, she said a full sentence while she looked at her in the mirror-"Great, I hope you are here to fix the fraken shower!"-but instantly recognized Boomer the exact moment she saw her directly and not reflected. Perhaps they also need to look the other Cylon square in the eyes, which is what Tyrol does in "[[Deadlock]]" before identifying Boomer.
* It has been unclear whether Karl Agathon is still the [[Commander Air Group]] (CAG) of Galactica or Kara Thrace officially takes over the CAG as Agathon used to join important staff meetings with Adama & Tigh in previous episodes. However, this episode clearly shows that Thrace is now serving as the CAG of Galactica.
* Ellen's escape from Cavil seems to have been orchestrated between him and Boomer in order to get Boomer on ''Galactica'' so she could kidnap Hera.
* It would appear that while Cavil was willing to let Ellen go in order to obtain Hera, members of the [[Final Five]] are still of some value to him, as evidenced by Boomer's offer for Tyrol to go with her. (Although it remains possible that Boomer's feelings for Tyrol are geniune and she might have been trying to get Tyrol to leave Galactica to save him from a possible later attack. This is evidenced by her telling Tyrol her feelings are genuine, ''after'' he declines to go with her.)
* The Final Five have the same [[Projection|projection]] ability as the Cylons they created, although Tyrol appears to be the first to experience it. Cylons can share projections with each other.
* Projections can include not just imaginary environments but also imaginary people, such as Boomer and Tyrol's "daughter" Dionne.
* It also appears thet projections might be a form of persistent environment -- similar to real-life virtual worlds such as [[w:Second Life|Second Life]], as Tyrol re-enters Boomer's projection after she escapes with Hera, as if expecting to find her and Dionne still in there.
* ''Galactica'' is in very bad shape from the metal fatigue in the hull. It's so bad that Tyrol says that all the [[Cylon organic resin]] could do is buy a little more time, but not too much from the looks of it, and that the ship might only be capable of one more FTL jump, if that. The ship is dying of old age and abuse and there's nothing anyone can do save it completely. The damage Boomer created during her escape has no doubt worsened the ship's condition.
* Adama has still not forgiven Boomer for shooting him.
* Boomer has gone from being a conflicted sleeper agent to being a willing infiltrator and saboteur on ''Galactica''.
* The Cylons want Boomer tried for treason, with execution being a possible outcome, because her actions are linked to the permanent deaths of thousands of Cylons. This parallels the Colonial Fleet's own desire to try [[Gaius Baltar]].
* Boomer seduces [[Helo]] by pretending to be [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]]. This is ironic seeing how on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]], Athena seduced Helo by pretending to be Boomer.
* Boomer's seduction of Helo - in the presence of Athena - may have been motivated by a desire to exact revenge on Athena for having effectively taken over her old life on ''Galactica'.'
* The Final Five, [[Hera Agathon]], and [[Kara Thrace]] are all somehow connected to each other by [[The Music]]. Also possibly connected via the song is Kara's [[Dreilide Thrace|mysterious father]].
* The mysterious piano player is Kara's father, which can be concluded by his sudden disappearance and by the flashbacks with both Kara and her father playing the piano when she was little. These flashbacks mirror the exact same movements done by Captain Thrace and the piano player.<ref>http://www.bearmccreary.com/blog/?p=1598</ref>
* The title of the tape Kara receives back from Helo is "Dreilide Thrace Live at the Helice [[Opera House]]." Helice was the ancient Greek name <ref>http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/620003/Ursa-Major</ref> for the constellation [[w:Ursa Major|Ursa Major]] (the Great Bear). <i>Helice</i> in Greek means "to spin" or "to turn", and Ursa Major revolves around [[w:Polaris|Polaris]], the Pole Star.
* Helice was also the name of a nymph in Greek mythology who nursed the infant [[Zeus]], along with another nymph, Melissa (which itself means "honey" or "honey bee". <ref>http://www.constellationsofwords.com/Constellations/UrsaMajor.html</ref> What, if any, reference this has to the series remains to be seen.

== Questions ==
* Is Boomer taking Hera to Cavil, and if so, is she of value to him in and of herself or will he ransom her for the Final Five to rebuild [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrection]]? Or is Boomer working alone or for a third party? ([[Someone to Watch Over Me#Official Statements|Answer]])
* Is the Eight switched with Boomer by Tyrol dead, or merely injured?
** Probably merely injured. It is doubtful Tyrol would have gone so far as to actually kill another Eight to save Boomer. Furthermore, if the Eight had been dead, Tyrol's trickery would have been discovered more quickly.
* What is Roslin's physical status?
* What connection is there between Roslin's collapse and Hera's kidnapping?
* If Tyrol had gone with Boomer, would Cavil have opened his brain as he threatened to do with Ellen?
* Did Boomer sleep with Helo merely to maintain her pretense, because she was attracted to him, or to intentionally hurt Athena? ([[Someone to Watch Over Me#Official Statements|Answer]])
* What is the source of the "Slick" image Starbuck has been seeing? Is he a variation of Kara's Inner Leoben from "[[Maelstrom]]"?
* How did Starbuck and Hera arrive at a piano version of the same [[The Music|melody]] originally played by Anders on a guitar on [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]?
* Will Eight's idea of plugging Anders into the [[datastream]] lead anywhere?
* Will Tyrol's involvement in Boomer's escape be figured out? Will he confess?
** It will be difficult for him to deny involvement considering the presence of the unconscious Eight he substituted for Boomer in the brig.
* If Tyrol's treachery does come to light, how will others react?
* Do all the ships in the Fleet - regardless of their relative crew and passenger size - get to send representatives to the new Quorum? (This is similar to the situation the Framers of the United States Constitution faced when trying to decide if state representation in Congress should be based on individual state population or restricted to the same number of representatives per state).
* Why was Sonja elected to represent the Cylons?
* Did Boomer intentionally jump so close to ''Galactica'' in order to further damage the already weakened ship? Is this a prelude to an attack on the Fleet by Cavil's forces?
* What is the current status of [[Caprica-Six]]?
* Where did the piano in [[Joe's Bar]] come from?
* Will the Helice Opera House have any connection to the visions of the [[Opera House]] shared by Roslin, [[Caprica-Six]], and Athena?

== Official Statements ==
*Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune interviews David Weddle and Bradley Thompson<ref>http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/02/battlestar-galactica-starbuck-boomer-someone-to-watch-over-me-.html</ref>:
**Boomer had a sick desire to strike out at Athena.
**Boomer's escape with Ellen was staged so that she could kidnap Hera. She intended to just use the Chief, but their interactions did awaken feelings she thought were dead.

List of pilots

2009-03-01T16:19:57Z

Ausir: /* Seen */

:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''

:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''

[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.

Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".

A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.

Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.

A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.

List of pilots

2009-03-01T16:18:56Z

Ausir:

:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''

:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''

[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.

Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".

A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.

Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.

A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.

'''Qualifications legend:'''

'''V''' - Viper pilot<br/>
'''R''' - Raptor pilot<br/>
'''E''' - Raptor ECO<br/>

== Overview ==
''[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] discovers a hidden musical ability that bears a mysterious significance to the final five Cylons, and her tune is found to have a connection with three-year-old human-Cylon hybrid [[Hera Agathon|Hera]]. The president authorizes [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]]'s release from the Brig so she can stand trial for treason on the Cylon Base Ship.''<ref>http://www.locatetv.com/tv/battlestar-galactica/season-4/6118356</ref>

== Summary ==

=== Teaser ===

=== Act 1 ===

=== Act 2 ===

=== Act 3 ===

=== Act 4 ===

== Notes ==
* [[Gaius Baltar]] and [[Caprica-Six]] do not appear in this episode. As with the previous episode, [[Lee Adama]] appears in only a couple of scenes.
* Someone To Watch Over Me is the name of a song composed by George and Ira Gershwin, and featured in the musical Oh, Kay! A major theme of the song is the need to find love and acceptance.
** There was also an episode of [[w:Star Trek: Voyager|Star Trek: Voyager]] named for the song, in which it is performed at the end by The Doctor.
* Weeks have passed since the end of [[Gaeta's Mutiny|the mutiny]], as evidenced by [[Cottle]]'s comment about how long Anders' EKG readings have remained steady.
* Starbuck acknowledges her pilots that the mutiny has "thinned our numbers". This, combined with the apparent absence of pilots such as [[Margaret Edmonson]] and [[Diana Seelix]], confims their involvement in the mutiny did not go unpunished, although exactly what that punishment is remains unknown.
* After her apparent death in "[[Maelstrom]]", Kara's personal belongings were auctioned off. Helo has managed to get them all back for her. However, the only thing Kara is interested in is her father's music tape.
* Some of the music played by the mysterious piano player is from the original series. [[Numian's 3rd Sonata]], Second Movement, is in fact from the opening dialogue of the classic series ("There are those who believe that life here, began out there..."). This is not the first time music from the original series has shown up (i.e. the [[Colonial Anthem]]), and lends to the idea that 'everything has happened before, and will happen again'.
* The brand of toothpaste offered as a prize to the pilots is called "Felgercarb," a word used in the original series to mean "shit." In essence, Kara is offering the pilot who finds a new planet "shit toothpaste."
* The collection of named [[Number Six]] models expands with the addition of Sonja, who becomes the first Cylon to be elected to the Fleet's reconstituted Quorum.

== Analysis ==
* The Cylons seem to have officially joined the Fleet as they now have the representation they wanted on the new Quorum in the form of a Six named Sonja. It is also confirmed that Cylon and Colonial pilots are performing joint [[CAP]]s.
** This is most clearly seen when Athena staggers into the briefing room and Helo orders one of the Six's to go get the medics, the Six unhesitatingly responds "Yes, Sir". Several Sixes are also seen attending Starbuck's "toothpaste briefing".
*It is very possible-but not certain-that the Cylon ability to recognize individual Cylons despite them looking exactly like each other (most of the time, the Sixes seem to have the most variants in hair color and use of makeup, both voluntary actions) relies on actually looking at the individual. In the lavatory where Sharon "Boomer" Valerii severely beaten Sharon "Athena" Agathon, Athena initially mistook Boomer as a generic Eight when she saw her in the reflection of a mirror. It was after she stood up and looked directly at Boomer did Athena recognize her as Boomer. Admittedly however, it is possible that she would had recognized Boomer if she still only watched her in the reflection. Still, she said a full sentence while she looked at her in the mirror-"Great, I hope you are here to fix the fraken shower!"-but instantly recognized Boomer the exact moment she saw her directly and not reflected. Perhaps they also need to look the other Cylon square in the eyes, which is what Tyrol does in "[[Deadlock]]" before identifying Boomer.
* It has been unclear whether Karl Agathon is still the [[Commander Air Group]] (CAG) of Galactica or Kara Thrace officially takes over the CAG as Agathon used to join important staff meetings with Adama & Tigh in previous episodes. However, this episode clearly shows that Thrace is now serving as the CAG of Galactica.
* Ellen's escape from Cavil seems to have been orchestrated between him and Boomer in order to get Boomer on ''Galactica'' so she could kidnap Hera.
* It would appear that while Cavil was willing to let Ellen go in order to obtain Hera, members of the [[Final Five]] are still of some value to him, as evidenced by Boomer's offer for Tyrol to go with her. (Although it remains possible that Boomer's feelings for Tyrol are geniune and she might have been trying to get Tyrol to leave Galactica to save him from a possible later attack. This is evidenced by her telling Tyrol her feelings are genuine, ''after'' he declines to go with her.)
* The Final Five have the same [[Projection|projection]] ability as the Cylons they created, although Tyrol appears to be the first to experience it. Cylons can share projections with each other.
* Projections can include not just imaginary environments but also imaginary people, such as Boomer and Tyrol's "daughter" Dionne.
* It also appears thet projections might be a form of persistent environment -- similar to real-life virtual worlds such as [[w:Second Life|Second Life]], as Tyrol re-enters Boomer's projection after she escapes with Hera, as if expecting to find her and Dionne still in there.
* ''Galactica'' is in very bad shape from the metal fatigue in the hull. It's so bad that Tyrol says that all the [[Cylon organic resin]] could do is buy a little more time, but not too much from the looks of it, and that the ship might only be capable of one more FTL jump, if that. The ship is dying of old age and abuse and there's nothing anyone can do save it completely. The damage Boomer created during her escape has no doubt worsened the ship's condition.
* Adama has still not forgiven Boomer for shooting him.
* Boomer has gone from being a conflicted sleeper agent to being a willing infiltrator and saboteur on ''Galactica''.
* The Cylons want Boomer tried for treason, with execution being a possible outcome, because her actions are linked to the permanent deaths of thousands of Cylons. This parallels the Colonial Fleet's own desire to try [[Gaius Baltar]].
* Boomer seduces [[Helo]] by pretending to be [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]]. This is ironic seeing how on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]], Athena seduced Helo by pretending to be Boomer.
* Boomer's seduction of Helo - in the presence of Athena - may have been motivated by a desire to exact revenge on Athena for having effectively taken over her old life on ''Galactica'.'
* The Final Five, [[Hera Agathon]], and [[Kara Thrace]] are all somehow connected to each other by [[The Music]]. Also possibly connected via the song is Kara's [[Dreilide Thrace|mysterious father]].
* The mysterious piano player is Kara's father, which can be concluded by his sudden disappearance and by the flashbacks with both Kara and her father playing the piano when she was little. These flashbacks mirror the exact same movements done by Captain Thrace and the piano player.<ref>http://www.bearmccreary.com/blog/?p=1598</ref>
* The title of the tape Kara receives back from Helo is "Dreilide Thrace Live at the Helice [[Opera House]]." Helice was the ancient Greek name <ref>http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/620003/Ursa-Major</ref> for the constellation [[w:Ursa Major|Ursa Major]] (the Great Bear). <i>Helice</i> in Greek means "to spin" or "to turn", and Ursa Major revolves around [[w:Polaris|Polaris]], the Pole Star.
* Helice was also the name of a nymph in Greek mythology who nursed the infant [[Zeus]], along with another nymph, Melissa (which itself means "honey" or "honey bee". <ref>http://www.constellationsofwords.com/Constellations/UrsaMajor.html</ref> What, if any, reference this has to the series remains to be seen.

== Questions ==
* Is Boomer taking Hera to Cavil, and if so, is she of value to him in and of herself or will he ransom her for the Final Five to rebuild [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrection]]? Or is Boomer working alone or for a third party? ([[Someone to Watch Over Me#Official Statements|Answer]])
* Is the Eight switched with Boomer by Tyrol dead, or merely injured?
** Probably merely injured. It is doubtful Tyrol would have gone so far as to actually kill another Eight to save Boomer. Furthermore, if the Eight had been dead, Tyrol's trickery would have been discovered more quickly.
* What is Roslin's physical status?
* What connection is there between Roslin's collapse and Hera's kidnapping?
* If Tyrol had gone with Boomer, would Cavil have opened his brain as he threatened to do with Ellen?
* Did Boomer sleep with Helo merely to maintain her pretense, because she was attracted to him, or to intentionally hurt Athena? ([[Someone to Watch Over Me#Official Statements|Answer]])
* What is the source of the "Slick" image Starbuck has been seeing? Is he a variation of Kara's Inner Leoben from "[[Maelstrom]]"?
* How did Starbuck and Hera arrive at a piano version of the same [[The Music|melody]] originally played by Anders on a guitar on [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]?
* Will Eight's idea of plugging Anders into the [[datastream]] lead anywhere?
* Will Tyrol's involvement in Boomer's escape be figured out? Will he confess?
** It will be difficult for him to deny involvement considering the presence of the unconscious Eight he substituted for Boomer in the brig.
* If Tyrol's treachery does come to light, how will others react?
* Do all the ships in the Fleet - regardless of their relative crew and passenger size - get to send representatives to the new Quorum? (This is similar to the situation the Framers of the United States Constitution faced when trying to decide if state representation in Congress should be based on individual state population or restricted to the same number of representatives per state).
* Why was Sonja elected to represent the Cylons?
* Did Boomer intentionally jump so close to ''Galactica'' in order to further damage the already weakened ship? Is this a prelude to an attack on the Fleet by Cavil's forces?
* What is the current status of [[Caprica-Six]]?
* Where did the piano in [[Joe's Bar]] come from?
* Will the Helice Opera House have any connection to the visions of the [[Opera House]] shared by Roslin, [[Caprica-Six]], and Athena?

== Official Statements ==
*Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune interviews David Weddle and Bradley Thompson<ref>http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/02/battlestar-galactica-starbuck-boomer-someone-to-watch-over-me-.html</ref>:
**Boomer had a sick desire to strike out at Athena.
**Boomer's escape with Ellen was staged so that she could kidnap Hera. She intended to just use the Chief, but their interactions did awaken feelings she thought were dead.

* After her apparent death in "[[Maelstrom]]", Kara's personal belongings were auctioned off. Helo has managed to get them all back for her. However, the only thing Kara is interested in is her father's music tape.
* Some of the music played by the mysterious piano player is from the original series. [[Numian's 3rd Sonata]], Second Movement, is in fact from the opening dialogue of the classic series ("There are those who believe that life here, began out there..."). This is not the first time music from the original series has shown up (i.e. the [[Colonial Anthem]]), and lends to the idea that 'everything has happened before, and will happen again'.
* The brand of toothpaste offered as a prize to the pilots is called "Felgercarb," a word used in the original series to mean "shit." In essence, Kara is offering the pilot who finds a new planet "shit toothpaste."
* The collection of named [[Number Six]] models expands with the addition of Sonja, who becomes the first Cylon to be elected to the Fleet's reconstituted Quorum.

== Analysis ==
* The Cylons seem to have officially joined the Fleet as they now have the representation they wanted on the new Quorum in the form of a Six named Sonja. It is also confirmed that Cylon and Colonial pilots are performing joint [[CAP]]s.
** This is most clearly seen when Athena staggers into the briefing room and Helo orders one of the Six's to go get the medics, the Six unhesitatingly responds "Yes, Sir". Several Sixes are also seen attending Starbuck's "toothpaste briefing".
*It is very possible-but not certain-that the Cylon ability to recognize individual Cylons despite them looking exactly like each other (most of the time, the Sixes seem to have the most variants in hair color and use of makeup, both voluntary actions) relies on actually looking at the individual. In the lavatory where Sharon "Boomer" Valerii severely beaten Sharon "Athena" Agathon, Athena initially mistook Boomer as a generic Eight when she saw her in the reflection of a mirror. It was after she stood up and looked directly at Boomer did Athena recognize her as Boomer. Admittedly however, it is possible that she would had recognized Boomer if she still only watched her in the reflection. Still, she said a full sentence while she looked at her in the mirror-"Great, I hope you are here to fix the fraken shower!"-but instantly recognized Boomer the exact moment she saw her directly and not reflected. Perhaps they also need to look the other Cylon square in the eyes, which is what Tyrol does in "[[Deadlock]]" before identifying Boomer.
* It has been unclear whether Karl Agathon is still the [[Commander Air Group]] (CAG) of Galactica or Kara Thrace officially takes over the CAG as Agathon used to join important staff meetings with Adama & Tigh in previous episodes. However, this episode clearly shows that Thrace is now serving as the CAG of Galactica.
* Ellen's escape from Cavil seems to have been orchestrated between him and Boomer in order to get Boomer on ''Galactica'' so she could kidnap Hera.
* It would appear that while Cavil was willing to let Ellen go in order to obtain Hera, members of the [[Final Five]] are still of some value to him, as evidenced by Boomer's offer for Tyrol to go with her. (Although it remains possible that Boomer's feelings for Tyrol are geniune and she might have been trying to get Tyrol to leave Galactica to save him from a possible later attack. This is evidenced by her telling Tyrol her feelings are genuine, ''after'' he declines to go with her.)
* The Final Five have the same [[Projection|projection]] ability as the Cylons they created, although Tyrol appears to be the first to experience it. Cylons can share projections with each other.
* Projections can include not just imaginary environments but also imaginary people, such as Boomer and Tyrol's "daughter" Dionne.
* It also appears thet projections might be a form of persistent environment -- similar to real-life virtual worlds such as [[w:Second Life|Second Life]], as Tyrol re-enters Boomer's projection after she escapes with Hera, as if expecting to find her and Dionne still in there.
* ''Galactica'' is in very bad shape from the metal fatigue in the hull. It's so bad that Tyrol says that all the [[Cylon organic resin]] could do is buy a little more time, but not too much from the looks of it, and that the ship might only be capable of one more FTL jump, if that. The ship is dying of old age and abuse and there's nothing anyone can do save it completely. The damage Boomer created during her escape has no doubt worsened the ship's condition.
* Adama has still not forgiven Boomer for shooting him.
* Boomer has gone from being a conflicted sleeper agent to being a willing infiltrator and saboteur on ''Galactica''.
* The Cylons want Boomer tried for treason, with execution being a possible outcome, because her actions are linked to the permanent deaths of thousands of Cylons. This parallels the Colonial Fleet's own desire to try [[Gaius Baltar]].
* Boomer seduces [[Helo]] by pretending to be [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]]. This is ironic seeing how on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]], Athena seduced Helo by pretending to be Boomer.
* Boomer's seduction of Helo - in the presence of Athena - may have been motivated by a desire to exact revenge on Athena for having effectively taken over her old life on ''Galactica'.'
* The Final Five, [[Hera Agathon]], and [[Kara Thrace]] are all somehow connected to each other by [[The Music]]. Also possibly connected via the song is Kara's [[Dreilide Thrace|mysterious father]].
* The mysterious piano player is Kara's father, which can be concluded by his sudden disappearance and by the flashbacks with both Kara and her father playing the piano when she was little. These flashbacks mirror the exact same movements done by Captain Thrace and the piano player.<ref>http://www.bearmccreary.com/blog/?p=1598</ref>
* The title of the tape Kara receives back from Helo is "Dreilide Thrace Live at the Helice [[Opera House]]." Helice was the ancient Greek name <ref>http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/620003/Ursa-Major</ref> for the constellation [[w:Ursa Major|Ursa Major]] (the Great Bear). <i>Helice</i> in Greek means "to spin" or "to turn", and Ursa Major revolves around [[w:Polaris|Polaris]], the Pole Star.
* Helice was also the name of a nymph in Greek mythology who nursed the infant [[Zeus]], along with another nymph, Melissa (which itself means "honey" or "honey bee". <ref>http://www.constellationsofwords.com/Constellations/UrsaMajor.html</ref> What, if any, reference this has to the series remains to be seen.

== Questions ==
* Is Boomer taking Hera to Cavil, and if so, is she of value to him in and of herself or will he ransom her for the Final Five to rebuild [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrection]]? Or is Boomer working alone or for a third party? ([[Someone to Watch Over Me#Official Statements|Answer]])
* Is the Eight switched with Boomer by Tyrol dead, or merely injured?
** Probably merely injured. It is doubtful Tyrol would have gone so far as to actually kill another Eight to save Boomer. Furthermore, if the Eight had been dead, Tyrol's trickery would have been discovered more quickly.
* What is Roslin's physical status?
* What connection is there between Roslin's collapse and Hera's kidnapping?
* If Tyrol had gone with Boomer, would Cavil have opened his brain as he threatened to do with Ellen?
* Did Boomer sleep with Helo merely to maintain her pretense, because she was attracted to him, or to intentionally hurt Athena? ([[Someone to Watch Over Me#Official Statements|Answer]])
* What is the source of the "Slick" image Starbuck has been seeing? Is he a variation of Kara's Inner Leoben from "[[Maelstrom]]"?
* How did Starbuck and Hera arrive at a piano version of the same [[The Music|melody]] originally played by Anders on a guitar on [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]?
* Will Eight's idea of plugging Anders into the [[datastream]] lead anywhere?
* Will Tyrol's involvement in Boomer's escape be figured out? Will he confess?
** It will be difficult for him to deny involvement considering the presence of the unconscious Eight he substituted for Boomer in the brig.
* If Tyrol's treachery does come to light, how will others react?
* Do all the ships in the Fleet - regardless of their relative crew and passenger size - get to send representatives to the new Quorum? (This is similar to the situation the Framers of the United States Constitution faced when trying to decide if state representation in Congress should be based on individual state population or restricted to the same number of representatives per state).
* Why was Sonja elected to represent the Cylons?
* Did Boomer intentionally jump so close to ''Galactica'' in order to further damage the already weakened ship? Is this a prelude to an attack on the Fleet by Cavil's forces?
* What is the current status of [[Caprica-Six]]?
* Where did the piano in [[Joe's Bar]] come from?
* Will the Helice Opera House have any connection to the visions of the [[Opera House]] shared by Roslin, [[Caprica-Six]], and Athena?

== Official Statements ==
*Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune interviews David Weddle and Bradley Thompson<ref>http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/02/battlestar-galactica-starbuck-boomer-someone-to-watch-over-me-.html</ref>:
**Boomer had a sick desire to strike out at Athena.
**Boomer's escape with Ellen was staged so that she could kidnap Hera. She intended to just use the Chief, but their interactions did awaken feelings she thought were dead.

'''Hera Agathon''' is the first successful Human/[[Humanoid Cylon|Cylon]] hybrid, the culmination of the Cylons' experiments to achieve viable procreation.

Her parents are the human Captain [[Karl Agathon|Karl "Helo" Agathon]] and the Cylon Lieutenant [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon "Athena" Agathon]] of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. Sharon Agathon (posing as [[Sharon Valerii|"Boomer" Valerii]]) initially takes part in a Cylon experiment to set up Karl into falling in love with and impregnating her.

This experiment is necessary because the forced cross-breeding experiments in the Cylon [[Farms]] met with complete failure. The Cylons theorized that the key element to procreation that was missing was love (an important element to Cylons, because they believe that "[[God (RDM)|God]] is love").

Agathon is the only known successful progeny of a humanoid Cylon, and therefore literally considered a "miracle from God" by the Cylons.

Agathon is conceived [[Timeline (RDM)|24 days after the Cylon attack]] on Caprica, in a night of passion after Karl "rescues" Caprica-Valerii from what was really a Cylon deception to test his love. Caprica-Valerii is ordered to convince Karl to stay in "hiding" on Caprica, but instead Valerii falls in love with Karl herself. Valerii begins helping him to escape the Cylons, eventually switching her allegiance over to the Colonials both for her love of Karl and their unborn child.

[[Kara Thrace]] (who arrived earlier on Caprica to retrieve the [[Arrow of Apollo]]) leaves with Caprica-Valerii and Agathon in a captured [[Heavy Raider]]. Caprica-Valerii is incarcerated in ''Galactica's'' [[brig]] for the next few months, as her pregnancy continues to advance.

Agathon is born by emergency surgery one month premature. President [[Laura Roslin]] arranges with Doctor [[Cottle]]—and without Admiral [[William Adama]]'s involvement—to fake Agathon's death and secretly gives the child to a woman named [[Maya]] under the guise that the child is the daughter of a ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' officer. The subterfuge, Roslin presumes, is necessary to keep Agathon safe from humanoid Cylons that may be hiding in the Fleet ([[Downloaded]]) <ref>In a deleted subplot from "[[Downloaded]]", [[Gina]] and [[D'Anna Biers]] scheme to kidnap Agathon at [[Gaius Baltar]]'s request. Gina expresses disgust at Agathon being named for a [[Hera, Lord of Kobol|human god]]. When D'Anna asks Gina what they should call the baby, Gina suggests "Thirteen".</ref>. Maya, unaware of her new child's past, names the girl Isis ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

[[Image:Baby_Hera.jpg|right|thumb|Hera Agathon as an infant, in the care of [[Maya]].]]
[[Gaius Baltar]]'s [[Virtual beings|virtual Number Six]] tells him he will someday raise this child, told to him in a vision he had while trapped on the planet [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]]. However, unaware of what President Roslin has done, Baltar, like the rest of the people who knew about her, believes Agathon to be dead.

When the Fleet settles on [[New Caprica]] under the rule of newly-elected President Baltar, Roslin begins teaching at a settlement elementary school with Maya. Roslin keeps Agathon and Maya close for observation in a cradle identical to the one Baltar saw in his vision.

Before the [[Battle of New Caprica]], Roslin hides Maya and Agathon in the [[New Caprica Resistance|resistance's]] underground bunker and tasks resistance leader [[Samuel Anders]] to protect them at all costs ([[Exodus, Part I]]).

During the civilian evacuation, Maya is killed. Agathon is found by President Baltar, [[Caprica-Six]], and [[Number Three]] and is welcomed aboard a [[Basestar (RDM)|baseship]] ([[Exodus, Part II]]). However, the young Agathon falls ill, and none of the Cylon physicians (who have no pediatric experience) understand why.

When Sharon Agathon learns from [[Sharon Valerii|her former ''Galactica'' counterpart]] that her daughter is alive, she devises a plan to free her. After she compels her husband to shoot her, Sharon [[Resurrection (RDM)|downloads]] to the Cylon ships, where Caprica-Six happens to be available to aid and is sympathetic enough to Sharon that she believes her and takes her to Hera. Mother and child reunite.

Sharon, through her Colonial training and maternal instinct, realizes that only Colonial medical care can save Hera Agathon, who appears to be suffering from an intestinal blockage. She persuades Caprica-Six to help her escape back to ''Galactica'' with Hera ("[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", "[[Rapture]]").

Agathon appears in several visions seen by Caprica-Six, Laura Roslin, and Sharon as the Fleet approaches the [[Ionian Nebula]]. In each vision, the three adults are compelled to save the child for motives not explained ([[Crossroads, Part II]]).

Two months later, after returning from the ''[[Demetrius]]'' mission with a [[Cylon Civil War|rebel Cylon basestar]], Sharon discovers that Agathon has a fixation with [[Number Six]], seeing that Hera's various crayon drawings of both the number itself and various depictions of Six, including one that looks like the [[Virtual Six]] in the red dress. Agathon then leaves after this discovery, leaving her mother to frantically search around ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> corridors for her. After Sharon sees Natalie with Agathon, she has [[Galen Tyrol]] take Agathon away before mortally wounding Natalie ([[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?]]). As a result of this action, Agathon is briefly taken away from her mother, herself incarcerated in ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> brig by Admiral Adama, but he reverses that decision days later ([[Sine Qua Non]]).

==Notes==
*The series' producers have noted, in a ''TV Guide'' interview, that this character will not "hyperage", that is, suddenly become much older than series-elapsed time (see the talk page of this article for more information).

== Overview ==
''[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] discovers a hidden musical ability that bears a mysterious significance to the final five Cylons, and her tune is found to have a connection with three-year-old human-Cylon hybrid [[Hera Agathon|Hera]]. The president authorizes [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]]'s release from the Brig so she can stand trial for treason on the Cylon Base Ship.''<ref>http://www.locatetv.com/tv/battlestar-galactica/season-4/6118356</ref>

== Summary ==

=== Teaser ===

=== Act 1 ===

=== Act 2 ===

=== Act 3 ===

=== Act 4 ===

== Notes ==
* [[Gaius Baltar]] and [[Caprica-Six]] do not appear in this episode. As with the previous episode, [[Lee Adama]] appears in only a couple of scenes.
* Someone To Watch Over Me is the name of a song composed by George and Ira Gershwin, and featured in the musical Oh, Kay! A major theme of the song is the need to find love and acceptance.
** There was also an episode of [[w:Star Trek: Voyager|Star Trek: Voyager]] named for the song, in which it is performed at the end by The Doctor.
* Weeks have passed since the end of [[Gaeta's Mutiny|the mutiny]], as evidenced by [[Cottle]]'s comment about how long Anders' EKG readings have remained steady.
* Starbuck acknowledges her pilots that the mutiny has "thinned our numbers". This, combined with the apparent absence of pilots such as [[Margaret Edmonson]] and [[Diana Seelix]], confims their involvement in the mutiny did not go unpunished, although exactly what that punishment is remains unknown.
* After her apparent death in "[[Maelstrom]]", Kara's personal belongings were auctioned off. Helo has managed to get them all back for her. However, the only thing Kara is interested in is her father's music tape.
* Some of the music played by the mysterious piano player is from the original series. [[Numian's 3rd Sonata]], Second Movement, is in fact from the opening dialogue of the classic series ("There are those who believe that life here, began out there..."). This is not the first time music from the original series has shown up (i.e. the [[Colonial Anthem]]), and lends to the idea that 'everything has happened before, and will happen again'.
* The brand of toothpaste offered as a prize to the pilots is called "Felgercarb," a word used in the original series to mean "shit." In essence, Kara is offering the pilot who finds a new planet "shit toothpaste."
* The collection of named [[Number Six]] models expands with the addition of Sonja, who becomes the first Cylon to be elected to the Fleet's reconstituted Quorum.

== Analysis ==
* The Cylons seem to have officially joined the Fleet as they now have the representation they wanted on the new Quorum in the form of a Six named Sonja. It is also confirmed that Cylon and Colonial pilots are performing joint [[CAP]]s.
** This is most clearly seen when Athena staggers into the briefing room and Helo orders one of the Six's to go get the medics, the Six unhesitatingly responds "Yes, Sir". Several Sixes are also seen attending Starbuck's "toothpaste briefing".

Perhaps they also need to look the other Cylon square in the eyes, which is what Tyrol does in "[[Deadlock]]" before identifying Boomer.
* It has been unclear whether Karl Agathon is still the [[Commander Air Group]] (CAG) of Galactica or Kara Thrace officially takes over the CAG as Agathon used to join important staff meetings with Adama & Tigh in previous episodes. However, this episode clearly shows that Thrace is now serving as the CAG of Galactica.
* Ellen's escape from Cavil seems to have been orchestrated between him and Boomer in order to get Boomer on ''Galactica'' so she could kidnap Hera.
* It would appear that while Cavil was willing to let Ellen go in order to obtain Hera, members of the [[Final Five]] are still of some value to him, as evidenced by Boomer's offer for Tyrol to go with her. (Although it remains possible that Boomer's feelings for Tyrol are geniune and she might have been trying to get Tyrol to leave Galactica to save him from a possible later attack. This is evidenced by her telling Tyrol her feelings are genuine, ''after'' he declines to go with her.)

* The Cylons want Boomer tried for treason, with execution being a possible outcome, because her actions are linked to the permanent deaths of thousands of Cylons. This parallels the Colonial Fleet's own desire to try [[Gaius Baltar]].
* Boomer seduces [[Helo]] by pretending to be [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]]. This is ironic seeing how on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]], Athena seduced Helo by pretending to be Boomer.
* Boomer's seduction of Helo - in the presence of Athena - may have been motivated by a desire to exact revenge on Athena for having effectively taken over her old life on ''Galactica'.'
* The Final Five, [[Hera Agathon]], and [[Kara Thrace]] are all somehow connected to each other by [[The Music]]. Also possibly connected via the song is Kara's [[Dreilide Thrace|mysterious father]].
* The mysterious piano player is Kara's father, which can be concluded by his sudden disappearance and by the flashbacks with both Kara and her father playing the piano when she was little.

Nope. Didn't see him in any incarnation at all. I think it was just disinformation to throw off spoilers. Nothing more. --[[User:Mars|Mars]] 06:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

== Projections ==

Now that we are aware Cylons can project non-existent people, do these "imaginary people" get their own article, or a new page be made for all projections? -[[User:Federationrulz|Federationrulz]] 17:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:Well, there is a page on [[Projection]], it should probably be included there. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 17:07, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

== Boomer's motivations ==

I think it's really premature to state so conclusively that Boomer's kidnapping of Hera was ordered or orchestrated by Cavil. If the upcoming episodes confirm that, okay, but right now, it is only speculation. Just because Roslin says it doesn't mean it's true.

My impression is that Boomer's actions were more selfish than that. The rebels want to kill her as a traitor, and if Cavil DIDN'T authorize her freeing Ellen Tigh, Cavil is not going to be happy to see her again, either. Hera is the one thing that both sides potentially want, and thus a lever Boomer can use to save her own ass.

Unless the next episode sheds more light on this, I think it's more appropriate to frame that point as a question, e.g., "Did Cavil orchestrate Boomer's 'rescue' of Ellen in order to get his hands on Hera?"

== Timeline? ==

Currently there is a note that:

"Weeks have passed since the end of the mutiny, as evidenced by Cottle's comment about how long Anders' EKG readings have remained steady."

Cottle's comment is about Ander's "unprecidented, and frankly bizare" readings which "haven't changed in weeks", which occured at the end of episode 16, but later the comment is made that Thigh's "just lost his child", which happend arround the same time.

Is this a contuinuity contradiction or am I missing something?

==The Piano Player==
Although it's quite possible the piano player is Starbuck's father, we don't know this for certain. And this show is known for sending out false signals. (Exhibit A: Tigh being a Cylon). I reworded it slightly, but I would recommend we hold off making such an absolute statement until it's confirmed in one of the remaining episodes. It could be just as possible that Starbuck was projecting. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 15:48, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
:RDM, Bear McCreary and the writers have all confirmed that Slick is indeed a vision of Kara's father. And how is Tigh being a Cylon a false signal? [[User:Ausir|Ausir]] 16:06, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

== Overview ==
''[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] discovers a hidden musical ability that bears a mysterious significance to the final five Cylons, and her tune is found to have a connection with three-year-old human-Cylon hybrid [[Hera Agathon|Hera]]. The president authorizes [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]]'s release from the Brig so she can stand trial for treason on the Cylon Base Ship.''<ref>http://www.locatetv.com/tv/battlestar-galactica/season-4/6118356</ref>

== Summary ==

=== Teaser ===

=== Act 1 ===

=== Act 2 ===

=== Act 3 ===

=== Act 4 ===

== Notes ==
* [[Gaius Baltar]] does not appear in this episode.
* Someone To Watch Over Me is the name of a song composed by George and Ira Gershwin, and featured in the musical Oh, Kay! A major theme of the song is the need to find love and acceptance.
** There was also an episode of [[w:Star Trek: Voyager|Star Trek: Voyager]] named for the song, in which it is performed at the end by The Doctor.
* Weeks have passed since the end of [[Gaeta's Mutiny|the mutiny]], as evidenced by [[Cottle]]'s comment about how long Anders' EKG readings have remained steady.
* Starbuck acknowledges her pilots that the mutiny has "thinned our numbers". This, combined with the apparent absence of pilots such as [[Margaret Edmonson]] and [[Diana Seelix]], confims their involvement in the mutiny did not go unpunished, although exactly what that punishment is remains unknown.
* After her apparent death in "[[Maelstrom]]", Kara's personal belongings were auctioned off. Helo has managed to get them all back for her. However, the only thing Kara is interested in is her father's music tape.
* Some of the music played by the mysterious piano player is from the original series. [[Numian's 3rd Sonata]], Second Movement, is in fact from the opening dialogue of the classic series ("There are those who believe that life here, began out there..."). This is not the first time music from the original series has shown up (i.e. the [[Colonial Anthem]]), and lends to the idea that 'everything has happened before, and will happen again'.
* The brand of toothpaste offered as a prize to the pilots is called "Felgercarb," a word used in the original series to mean "shit." In essence, Kara is offering the pilot who finds a new planet "shit toothpaste."
* The collection of named [[Number Six]] models expands with the addition of Sonja, who becomes the first Cylon to be elected to the Fleet's reconstituted Quorum.

== Analysis ==
* The Cylons seem to have officially joined the Fleet as they now have the representation they wanted on the new Quorum in the form of a Six named Sonja. It is also confirmed that Cylon and Colonial pilots are performing joint [[CAP]]s.
** This is most clearly seen when Athena staggers into the briefing room and Helo orders one of the Six's to go get the medics, the Six unhesitatingly responds "Yes, Sir". Several Sixes are also seen attending Starbuck's "toothpaste briefing".
*It is very possible-but not certain-that the Cylon ability to recognize individual Cylons despite them looking exactly like each other (most of the time, the Sixes seem to have the most variants in hair color and use of makeup, both voluntary actions) relies on actually looking at the individual. In the lavatory where Sharon "Boomer" Valerii severely beaten Sharon "Athena" Agathon, Athena initially mistook Boomer as a generic Eight when she saw her in the reflection of a mirror. It was after she stood up and looked directly at Boomer did Athena recognize her as Boomer. Admittedly however, it is possible that she would had recognized Boomer if she still only watched her in the reflection. Still, she said a full sentence while she looked at her in the mirror-"Great, I hope you are here to fix the fraken shower!"-but instantly recognized Boomer the exact moment she saw her directly and not reflected. Perhaps they also need to look the other Cylon square in the eyes, which is what Tyrol does in "[[Deadlock]]" before identifying Boomer.
* It has been unclear whether Karl Agathon is still the [[Commander Air Group]] (CAG) of Galactica or Kara Thrace officially takes over the CAG as Agathon used to join important staff meetings with Adama & Tigh in previous episodes. However, this episode clearly shows that Thrace is now serving as the CAG of Galactica.
* Ellen's escape from Cavil seems to have been orchestrated between him and Boomer in order to get Boomer on ''Galactica'' so she could kidnap Hera.
* It would appear that while Cavil was willing to let Ellen go in order to obtain Hera, members of the [[Final Five]] are still of some value to him, as evidenced by Boomer's offer for Tyrol to go with her. (Although it remains possible that Boomer's feelings for Tyrol are geniune and she might have been trying to get Tyrol to leave Galactica to save him from a possible later attack. This is evidenced by her telling Tyrol her feelings are genuine, ''after'' he declines to go with her.)
* The Final Five have the same [[Projection|projection]] ability as the Cylons they created, although Tyrol appears to be the first to experience it. Cylons can share projections with each other.
* Projections can include not just imaginary environments but also imaginary people, such as Boomer and Tyrol's "daughter" Dionne.
* It also appears thet projections might be a form of persistent environment -- similar to real-life virtual worlds such as [[w:Second Life|Second Life]], as Tyrol re-enters Boomer's projection after she escapes with Hera, as if expecting to find her and Dionne still in there.
* ''Galactica'' is in very bad shape from the metal fatigue in the hull. It's so bad that Tyrol says that all the [[Cylon organic resin]] could do is buy a little more time, but not too much from the looks of it, and that the ship might only be capable of one more FTL jump, if that. The ship is dying of old age and abuse and there's nothing anyone can do save it completely. The damage Boomer created during her escape has no doubt worsened the ship's condition.
* Adama has still not forgiven Boomer for shooting him.
* Boomer has gone from being a conflicted sleeper agent to being a willing infiltrator and saboteur on ''Galactica''.
* The Cylons want Boomer tried for treason, with execution being a possible outcome, because her actions are linked to the permanent deaths of thousands of Cylons. This parallels the Colonial Fleet's own desire to try [[Gaius Baltar]].
* Boomer seduces [[Helo]] by pretending to be [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]]. This is ironic seeing how on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]], Athena seduced Helo by pretending to be Boomer.
* Boomer's seduction of Helo - in the presence of Athena - may have been motivated by a desire to exact revenge on Athena for having effectively taken over her old life on ''Galactica'.'
* The Final Five, [[Hera Agathon]], and [[Kara Thrace]] are all somehow connected to each other by [[The Music]]. Also possibly connected via the song is Kara's [[Dreilide Thrace|mysterious father]].
* It is possible that the mysterious piano player is Kara's father, which can be concluded by his sudden disappearance and by the flashbacks with both Kara and her father playing the piano when she was little. These flashbacks mirror the exact same movements done by Captain Thrace and the piano player.<ref>http://www.bearmccreary.com/blog/?p=1598</ref>

== Questions ==
* Is Boomer taking Hera to Cavil, and if so, is she of value to him in and of herself or will he ransom her for the Final Five to rebuild [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrection]]? Or is Boomer working alone or for a third party? ([[Someone to Watch Over Me#Official Statements|Answer]])
* Is the Eight switched with Boomer by Tyrol dead, or merely injured?
** Probably merely injured. It is doubtful Tyrol would have gone so far as to actually kill another Eight to save Boomer. Furthermore, if the Eight had been dead, Tyrol's trickery would have been discovered more quickly.
* What is Roslin's physical status?
* What connection is there between Roslin's collapse and Hera's kidnapping?
* If Tyrol had gone with Boomer, would Cavil have opened his brain as he threatened to do with Ellen?
* Did Boomer sleep with Helo merely to maintain her pretense, because she was attracted to him, or to intentionally hurt Athena? ([[Someone to Watch Over Me#Official Statements|Answer]])
* What is the source of the "Slick" image Starbuck has been seeing? Is he a variation of Kara's Inner Leoben from "[[Maelstrom]]"?
* How did Starbuck and Hera arrive at a piano version of the same [[The Music|melody]] originally played by Anders on a guitar on [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]?
* Will Eight's idea of plugging Anders into the [[datastream]] lead anywhere?
* Will Tyrol's involvement in Boomer's escape be figured out? Will he confess?
* If Tyrol's treachery does come to light, how will others react?
* Do all the ships in the Fleet - regardless of their relative crew and passenger size - get to send representatives to the new Quorum? (This is similar to the situation the Framers of the United States Constitution faced when trying to decide if state representation in Congress should be based on individual state population or restricted to the same number of representatives per state).
* Did Boomer intentionally jump so close to ''Galactica'' in order to further damage the already weakened ship? Is this a prelude to an attack on the Fleet by Cavil's forces?

== Official Statements ==
*Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune interviews David Weddle and Bradley Thompson<ref>http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/02/battlestar-galactica-starbuck-boomer-someone-to-watch-over-me-.html</ref>:
**Boomer had a sick desire to strike out at Athena.
**Boomer's escape with Ellen was staged so that she could kidnap Hera. She intended to just use the Chief, but their interactions did awaken feelings she thought were dead.

== Noteworthy Dialogue ==

== Guest Stars ==

* [[Kate Vernon]] as [[Ellen Tigh]]
* [[Donnelly Rhodes]] as Dr. [[S. Cottle]]
* [[Rekha Sharma]] as [[Tory Foster]]

Colonial anthem

2009-03-01T12:31:37Z

Ausir:

The {{audio|Colonial Anthem.mp3|'''Colonial anthem'''}} is the official state music used at official functions of the [[Twelve Colonies of Kobol]], composed by [[Stu Nomion]].

It plays as a fanfare when the television station [[Caprica 5]] announces a live interview with [[Gaius Baltar]].

The anthem plays briefly during a fly-by of the last [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] squadron of ''[[Galactica]]'' during its decommissioning ceremonies held in its new [[Galactica Museum|museum]], shortly before a speech given by Commander [[William Adama]] ([[Miniseries, Night 1]]).

The anthem also appears in a documentary on the crew of ''Galactica'' created by [[D'Anna Biers]]. A crewman, [[Stan Gibson]],<ref>This character, who hums the Colonial anthem while mopping the floors of ''Galactica'', is Battlestar Wiki's [[w:patron saint|"patron saint"]] for its [[BW:AN#Current administrators|administrators]].</ref> whistles a part of the anthem while he mops a deck on the ship, then an orchestral version of the anthem bursts into the documentary as several pilots enter the hallway to give the film an uplifting heroic appeal ([[Final Cut]]).

==Notes==
* The Colonial anthem is a new recording of the [[Original Series]]'s main theme composed by [[Stu Phillips]], who assisted [[Bear McCreary]] in the new arrangement.<ref>{{cite online journal|url= http://www.bearmccreary.com/blog/?p=117|title=The Themes of Battlestar Galactica Part IV| | journal=http://www.bearmccreary.com/blog/ Bear's Battlestar Blog | last =McCreary | first= Bear}}.</ref>
* The scene in which the crewman is heard whistling the anthem confirms that the piece of music exists "in-universe" and is not simply part of the "real world" soundtrack (something that is not necessarily made clear in the mini-series, or by the anthem's use at the end of Biers' documentary, both of which could simply have been soundtrack elements for viewers).
* The audio sample in this article is from the [[Soundtrack (Season 2)|Season 2 soundtrack]], track 1, a modern arrangement of the original theme for the episode, "Final Cut", by [[Bear McCreary]].

==Title==
''Someone to Watch Over Me'' [http://verheiden.blogspot.com/2008/09/battlestar-galactica-cruise-book.html according to producer Mark Verheiden]. I think this one has been confirmed elsewhere as well.--[[User:Werthead|Werthead]] 19:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

After the thundering pace of the past two episodes, I have to say this one left me feeling cheated and hollow. The Ellen Tigh of "No Exit" seemed logical, thoughtful, caring, compassionate...in short, someone who we would expect to do the right thing. She seemed like someone who understood the Big Picture. This one acts just like Ellen Tigh before she was poisoned: petty, vindictive, emotional, and (as Saul put it) vile. The entire situation of her being angry at Saul seemed forced and contrived and was quite a disappointment. I might've expected Ellen to be surprised at Saul/Caprica, but not this. After all, she knows Saul (a) thought she was dead, (b) originally had no idea he was a Cylon, and (c) had no idea Ellen was a Cylon. It's logically ridiculous to hold him accountable for the decisions he made when he had no knowledge of how things really were. The old Ellen (the one John/Cavil/One programmed to be vindictive) would've been like this, but that persona was wiped away by her resurrection. The "real" Ellen was presumably the more logical one we saw in "No Exit." Why the sudden shift in characterization? What a let down.

And what's with Bill Adama agonizing over the Cylon goop being put into Galactica? Granted it's not what he would like, but Adama has always shown himself to be a pragmatist. He knows he has no choice. He even admits it during his drunken binge with Tigh. The Adama we know from the past hasn't agonized over forced choices once they've been made. Again, why the sudden shift in character? It's jarring to the point of unbelievability.

And what's Adama up to giving Baltar guns? Has he lost his mind? Didn't we just have a bloody mutiny on Galactica over the whole idea of Cylon's integrating into the fleet? As I recall, Adama was on the pro-Cylon side -- again, because he's a pragmatist, not out of any love of the Cylons. Now he's acting like he fears the Cylons all over again, despite the fact his XO is one and Tyrol is once again in charge of the deck. The rebel Cylons basically saved Roslin's life. They are helping repair the Galactica. They've practically prostrated themselves at the mercy of the humans. At what point do our half-blind humans finally realize these Cylons are ''different''? That they're trying to help?

Gaius's "last ''human'' solution" speech sounds so xenophobic I could've imagined it coming from the dear departed Gaeta. Something ''must'' be misleading because I can't see Head Six directing Gaius on any kind of anti-Cylon agenda. If we're just being purposefully mislead in such a ham-handed manner, it's cheap manipulation unworthy of BSG.[[User:Prisoner881|Prisoner881]] 16:18, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
* OK, that's weird. Why is your datestamp 7 months from now? [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 01:15, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
* * Good question. I've no idea --[[User:Prisoner881|Prisoner881]] 05:49, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
* Yes, totally . She does tell the gang specifically that she is still Ellen, too -- since from the Cavil conversation we know the plan for them was to download back with full memories of everything that happened. It's likely that the New Ellen we saw this episode was the writers trying to show that while she is cylon she is very much human as well (loves Saul, jealous of Six, furious that he would sleep with one of "their children" even though he couldn't have known), or that the memories/template of Old Ellen is still strongly with her and may continue to drive some of her reactions. -- [[User:Namtastic|Namtastic]] 03:15, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
* MORE -- Re: Baltar, had to watch it again, but what he is saying is that while the fleet in on a path to be blended, the populace isn't fully ready to accept this fate just yet. That Baltar can put together a civilian militia to keep order where the marines aren't is the last choice Adama has before he finally turns to the Baseship for mustering a police force (the implied non-human solution). And at this point he's right, there's no way the fleet would accept Cylons acting as police. So it's not an anti-Cylon agenda at all, he's just trying to buy Adama some time. Bill's agonizing because up to this point he's seen Humans and Rebel Cylons as allies, but separate nations. The hope has been that Humans ultimately rebuild the Human race, but the direction is now clearly showing both sides need each other and that instead Humans (and Cylons) will be building a new Hybrid race. -- [[User:Namtastic|Namtastic]] 04:14, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

== I Don't Agree ==

First of all, Baltar said what he said to Adama just to get the guns. He knew he'd only get them if he appealed to Adama's pro-human side, which he did. He probably meant none of it (Baltar, anit-Cylon? He gave one of the sixes a nuke!).

Secondly, love is far from logical, and Ellen (at least, is implied) is in love with Saul, hence she will not be logical, and cast him down. He's been unfaithful with her daughter, effectively; all logic goes out of the window.

* But what could Baltar have possibly said that could've motivated Adama to give weapons to ''civilians''? And mot just any civilians but ''brainwashed'' ones? And while I'll readily concede love is anything but logical, if I had to describe the "No Exit" Ellen with just one adjective, it would be "rational." But in this episode she's completely irrational. It's like those stupid romantic comedies where everyone must misbehave in exactly the wrong way at the wrong time in order to draw the wrong conclusion and perform the wrong action...all of which is tidied up in the third act. BSG is better than that, which is why I'm so disappointed in this episode.--[[User:Prisoner881|Prisoner881]] 23:30, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

== Missing Scene(s) May Explain the Guns ==

I understand that there was at least one scene that was cut in which the problem of internal security on Galactica was discussed. (Don't have the citation handy.) The problem is that, due to loses incurred during the mutiny, the number of marines available for security duty is way below what is needed. One of the solutions discussed was to bring over centurions from the base ship to augment the security force, but that was deemed to be a bad thing (duh). So in that context, Baltar's appeal for guns to defend themselves and the other civilians might seem to Adama to be the lesser of two evils.

But boy, did you see the look of lust on Paula's face as she examined her new semi-auto. That girl's going "postal" one day soon, mark my words. [[User:Strotter|Strotter]] 03:10, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

* If this is indeed a missing scene then it starts to make a little sense. Still, I have a hard time believing Galactica's security forces were so decimated that Adama is willing to turn over weapons to untrained, unpredictable, untrusted civilians. Galactica has over a thousand personnel. Surely there are better options than giving guns to cultists. --[[User:Prisoner881|Prisoner881]] 05:49, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

== Found ==

The one question I still can't figure out... is how the hell did Boomer find Galactica in a Raptor? If Boomer could find it so easily, couldn't Cavil?

Just thinking...
[[User:Ghostalker|Ghostalker]]
* Yeah, I agree this was too quickly skipped over, but (a) the Raptor is a colonial unit with compatible beacon/tracking equipment on board and (b) the fleet hasn't jumped yet and it still very close to Earth. So once Boomer told Ellen that the fleet was looking for Earth, Ellen would have started their search there (presumably) and found them easily enough. More to the point, while Cavil knows the Final Five extremely well, he's a child of the 12 Colonies' Centurions and honestly doesn't know where Earth is. -- [[User:Namtastic|Namtastic]] 02:58, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

* This one had me, too, until I figured out that Ellen would know where Earth was. Sharon would've programmed a jump destination somewhere safe so she could quickly jump away. Once there, Ellen could give Sharon the coordinates for Earth and they could jump there.--[[User:Prisoner881|Prisoner881]] 05:49, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

List of pilots

2009-02-23T01:11:41Z

Ausir: /* Status Unknown after Mutiny */

:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''

:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''

[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.

Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".

A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.

Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.

A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.

List of pilots

2009-02-23T01:10:53Z

Ausir: /* Seen */

:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''

:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''

[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.

Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".

A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.

Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.

A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.

'''Qualifications legend:'''

'''V''' - Viper pilot<br/>
'''R''' - Raptor pilot<br/>
'''E''' - Raptor ECO<br/>

Deckhand

2009-02-23T01:09:18Z

Ausir: /* Active */

[[Image:Galactica's deckhands.jpg|Chief Galen Tyrol and his deckhands.|thumb|right]]

'''Deckhands''' are multi-faceted crewmembers on [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestars]] who prepare and maintain Colonial [[Viper (RDM)|fighters]] and [[Raptor|reconnaissance vehicles]] for flight and turnaround.

Led at one time by ''[[Galactica|Galactica's]]'' senior non-commissioned officer, Chief Petty Officer [[Galen Tyrol]], before he is [[Escape Velocity|demoted]], and currently by Chief Petty Officer [[Peter Laird]], deckhands (also nicknamed, sometimes derisively, as "knuckledraggers") are tasked with keeping the limited number of Vipers and Raptors ready at all times for [[Combat Air Patrol]]s, Raptor [[The Fleet (RDM)|intra-Fleet]] shuttle flights, and large-scale engagements with [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] forces.

Deckhand jumpsuits come in several colors, suggesting that some have had specific duties or training, at least prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. The jumpsuits have optional pockets for the myriad of tools and equipment that must be carried about for certain tasks.

Deckhands serve on launch crews, repair and maintenance crews, damage control teams, and many other duties as assigned.

Frequently seen deckhands in the [[Re-imagined Series]] include [[Galen Tyrol]], [[Cally Tyrol]], [[Diana Seelix]], [[James Lyman]] and [[Anthony Figurski]].

All deckhands are enlisted personnel.

Ausir: /* Saul's war veteran story a forgery */

==Call Sheet==

Can anyone please sharpen the image of the sheet and put the contents here? -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 20:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

: Well, to me the picture looks like it has been deliberately modified to be unreadable, as only the set details are blurry. [[User:Raziel Anarki|Raziel Anarki]] 17:30, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

==Ellen's resurrection==
How can Ellen download without resurrection technology? Does that mean that Ellen is not in the womb of Caprica 6? (Or does Caprica 6 and/or child die forcing resurrection?) Which basestar has she resurrected on?
[[User:Seven of Nine|Seven of Nine]] 12:25, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
:Ellen died and resurrected at the time of the exodus from New Caprica, months before the destruction of the Resurrection Hub. Don't forget, they do flashbacks that follow the events that happened since, such as the algae planet. -- [[User:Fredmdbud|Fredmdbud]] 10:34, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

==Plot hole==
Found a major plot hole regarding the Journey of the Five. Anders states that they traveled at near-light speed from Earth to the Colonies, resulting in a time dilation effect. Time passed slower aboard the ship than it did in real space. Since Earth was nuked 2000 years ago, then that means 2000 years passed in real space while a considerably shorter amount of time passed aboard the Five's space ship. We don't know the exact amount of time that passed aboard the ship, but it is safe to assume that it would have been considerably less than 2000 years. The question becomes: how far does the ship travel? If the time dilation effect results in 2000 years passing in real space, then the Five space ship must have traveled at most only a few light years to reach the colonies. If, for example, only 5 years pass aboard the Five ship and they are traveling close to light speed, then they can only travel a bit less than 5 light years to reach their destination. Which means the Colonies and Earth are *much* closer to each other than the series has let on. Even given a roundabout journey by the RTFF, the distance to the Algae Planet alone would have to be very close in order for the Five to stop and plant clues there, to say nothing of the virus probe or the possibility that the Five built the Star Map on Kobol as well.

[[User:Dallan007|Dallan007]] 08:26, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
:The ship you mentioned could be sent on its journey years before the Earth's nuclear holocaust. We could even see Allen telling her husband he would be resurrected in one flashback of the holocaust. So this Final Five resurrection ship was quite obviously already on its way to the 12 colonies by the time of the holocaust. A Problem may it be that we have no idea how the final five back on Earth have ever come to acknowledge the existence of Cylons made by the twelve tribes or rather the fact that by the time they are actually going to be constructed by the twelve tribes. -- [[User:FNj|FNj]] 14:28, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

:Are you certain you have the right reference frame? It seems to me that if 2000 years passed outside of a ship traveling close to c, then it would have traveled a significantly high fraction of 2000 light years. If we could launch a ship to Alpha Centauri at 99% of c, then those of us on Earth would see it arrive in around 5 years (leaving aside time for acceleration/deceleration), not 100, 1000, or 2000 years. However, anyone on board might only experience a few months. -- [[User:Xenophon10k|Xenophon10k]] 16:39, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I ran the problem past a physicist and this is what I got:

The ship from Earth, travelling at near-light speed, takes 2000 years to travel to the Colonies. Anders says they resurrected onto a ship that they built in orbit of Earth, implying that it was still in orbit at the time of the Earth holocaust. Even if the ship had a head start, it would only be a few light years from Earth when the holocaust took place, given that the resurrection project would have to have been completed and installed aboard the ship before it left, and the Five all worked on the project.

At .99 c, approximately 250 years would pass aboard the Five's ship, while 2000 years would pass in real time. Given the fact that they had resurrection technology, it's easily possible for the Five to survive the trip.

The continuity problem is that Galactica's journey to Earth is incredibly roundabout, even given a detour to Kobol. It's 13 000 light years from the Algae planet to the Ionian Nebula, while Kobol is only 4000 light years from the same place. (It took light from the first supernova 4000 years to reach Kobol.) Given the other stops Galactica took along the way, they were almost going around in a huge circle (like going from Los Angeles to New York by way of Argentina).

[[User:Dallan007|Dallan007]] 19:08, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Seems to me that since we don't know the distances involved, the speed at which the ship was travelling, or the relative positions of the star systems in question it is useless to speculate on this point. For instance, how do you know they didn't run into the Colony Cylons part way there (and jumped with them the rest of the way to 12C)?

==Nature of the Cylons==

Seems significant to me that the Cylons seem to follow similar patterns on Earth as well as the 12 Colonies. Did mech Cylons occur on Kobol? Also, what became of the Eath mech Centurians? Wouldn't they set out to hunt down the Colonists? What of any survivors from the hybrid basestar in Razor?

I also wonder about Cavil. Why did he react so strongly to the removal of the telencephalic inhibitors from the Centurians? I would assume that he would feel affinity for them being that he desires to be mechanical in nature.

Speaking of the Centurians.... just what do THEY think of all this? I hope the writers have addressed some of these points!

==Cavil and the Lords of Kobol==

In the analysis of the episode we should consider adding something mentioning the parallel between Cavil/Ellen's sexual relationship with the kinds of relationships that the Lords of the Kobol had among themselves (mainly Zeus and Hera who were brother and sister '''AND''' husband and wife. This also counts for Saul/Caprica Six and Tyrol/Boomer. There is an interesting irony in how Cavil (an atheist) and Ellen (a monotheist) manage to mirror the behavior of polytheistic deities that they have both rejected. [[User:Mishakal|Mishakal]] 05:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

:Maybe they actually ARE the Lords. That would clear it up a lot. We shall see anyway. [[User:FNj|FNj]] 16:31, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

==Broke down the Questions==
There were so many questions in the article that I decided to categorize them all to make the section more organized. -- [[User:GreenDalek|GreenDalek]] 20:20, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

==Centaurans?==
Ellen and Cavil talk about "Centaurans". I'm not sure if this refers to the [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] or the [[Cylon Centurion|Centurion]]s, and the podcast doesn't clarify it. Does anyone have a source which can clarify this? -- [[User:Gordon Ecker|Gordon Ecker]] 06:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
::Not Centaurans, Centurions. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 06:39, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

==Saul's war veteran story a forgery==
Episode page says "Saul Tigh's military history in the First Cylon War is revealed to be a fabrication". I seem to have missed that hint. Where was it? [[User:Keragez|Keragez]] 16:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
:Sam said that Saul was introduced into Colonial space (where he met Adama on that freighter from the "Scattered" flashbacks) with fake memories a few years after the war. This is corroborated by the Mottesheard and Espenson interview. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 16:32, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

==Dealino?==
Who is Dealino (in the cast list)? I don't recall such character. [[User:Ausir|Ausir]] 19:51, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

==Kobol comic==
In the Chicago Tribune interview, Jane Espenson says: "Jane: The dates and sequence of the events surrounded Pythia and Kobol are going to be explored, I understand, in a comic book being written by Seamus Kevin Fahey [who is a "Battlestar" writer] and David Reed."

Does it mean that this comic is RDM-canon, and not just separate continuity like other comics? [[User:Ausir|Ausir]] 19:51, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Colonial Marine Corps

2009-02-18T19:41:14Z

Ausir: /* Status Uknown after the Mutiny */

__NOTOC__
[[Image:Khaki litmus.JPG|thumb|A Marine Non-commissioned officer flanked by two Marines in standard uniform ([[Litmus]]).]]
The '''Colonial Marine Corps''' is a branch of the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Forces]] tasked with ground combat operations and ship-board security.

''[[Galactica]]'' initially had about thirty Marines left, although there are no snipers among them ([[Bastille Day]]). This number increased drastically with the addition of the battlestar ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' to the Fleet.

Between [[Pegasus (episode)]] and [[Exodus Part II]]. It is estimated that Galactica had at least 100 marines considering the arrival of Pegasus. The crew transfers might suggest some Marines from Pegasus were integrated into the crew of [[Galactica]] and since there were Marines being trained aboard Pegasus. ([[Razor]])

After ''Pegasus'''s [[Battle of New Caprica|destruction]], a number of Marines are integrated into ''Galactica's'' crew. During a briefing between Colonel Tigh and Admiral Adama, Tigh says "A hundred Marines too weak to work, two hundred more about to drop", which implies that there are now at least 300 Marines, probably accounting for the ''Pegasus'' survivors ([[The Passage]]).

A Marine's duties include guarding the [[CIC]] and the [[brig]] as well as other critical areas on the ship, and assisting the [[Master-at-Arms]] ([[Litmus]]) and are part of [[Raptor]] boarding parties ("[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]", "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]", "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]"). Naturally, they are also responsible for repelling enemy boarding actions ([[Valley of Darkness]]). Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]]'s quarters are constantly under marine guard, and the same is true for President Roslin when she is aboard ship. [[Stewart Jaffee|A Marine]] is also tasked with serving Admiral Adama's food ([[A Day in the Life]]).

Very few Marine officers appear to be stationed on ''Galactica''; when they are shown on missions, usually Fleet officers command the Marine units. [[Crashdown]]'s actions on Kobol ([[Fragged]]) suggest that Fleet officers are cross trained in conducting ground operations. The only Marine officers shown so far are Lieutenant [[Terry Burrell]] ([[Sacrifice]]) and an [[Unnamed Galactica and Pegasus crew (RDM)#Marine Lieutenant|unnamed lieutenant]] in "[[Escape Velocity]]".

Marines are evidently untrained in crowd control, as the actions on the ''[[Scylla]]'' and ''[[Gideon]]'' demonstrate. In each of these situations Marines react with little discipline to enraged crowds ("[[Razor]]", "[[Final Cut]]"). Marines are also present enforcing an order restricting public congregation ([[Escape Velocity]]).

Colonial Marines are also called "[[Wikipedia:Military slang#J|jarhead]]s". Like the Colonial Fleet, the Corps has a reserve component (Final Cut)

== Rank Structure ==

Only the ranks of the enlisted crew have been established in detail so far, but it is known that the rank of lieutenant exists. See ''[[Military Ranks (RDM)]]'' for details.

==Real life costuming notes==

The Colonial Marine Corps battle [[Uniforms (RDM)|uniforms]] appear to be based on those of the U.S. Army's [[Wikipedia:Delta Force|Delta Force]] or the counter-terrorist branch of the British Army's [[Wikipedia:Special Air Service|Special Air Service Regiment]]. Besides their black combat uniforms, the weapons and personal combat equipment of the Marines are similar to what today's police SWAT teams and anti-terrorist special forces units utilize.

[[Image:Marine_cic_standing01.jpg|180px|right|thumb|A Colonial Marine stands watch in ''Galactica's'' CIC]]

To date, the Marines have appeared in either an all-black BDU (aboard ship) or an olive-drab/green BDU (planetside, as in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]"). There is evidence that the Colonial Marine Corps do utilize digital camouflage uniforms like the real-life [[Wikipedia: United States Marine Corps | United States Marine Corps]] with their [[Wikipedia: MARPAT | MARPAT]] digital camouflage uniforms, but it appears that the wearing of digital camouflage uniforms are restricted to regular Colonial Marine Corps forces while the Marines serving as security personnel on the warships of the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] are issued solid-color combat uniforms in black, khaki, and olive-drab. One piece of evidence that the Colonial Marine Corps do utilize digital camouflage uniforms can be seen the in the episodes "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]" and "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II|Part II]]" when the rescue team that is deployed to Caprica have "woodland" digital camouflage backpacks on their backs. Furthermore, in one of the [[Razor Flashback]] episodes, two Colonial Marine medics are wearing "woodland" digital camouflage uniforms on ''Galactica'''s hangar deck. Digital camouflage is also used by the landing party on Kobol in "[[Home, Part II]]" (by both William and Lee Adama), as well as the [[:Image:SP Scattered.JPG|Shore Patrol]] personnel in "[[Scattered]]".
By todays standards the Marines are lightly armed. When [[Lee Adama]] is rescued by a Marine fire team when one of them fires a explosive round from his sidearms. He tells Lee the [[Centurions]] can only be destroyed with explosive round and that was their last one. If the fireteam had destroyed At least one Centurion that may emply that they carry only one explosive round. It is also seen that the Marines do not carry Gearnades other than a flash bang [[He That Believeth In Me]]. The Marines also appear not to have Armor plating in their combat vest and being that todays Marines mostly do have Armor plates in their Combat Vest.

.
To outfit the Marines, the show's costume department appears to use the following real-world items:<br>
* Helmet
**[[:Image:Ski helmet.jpg|Giro Bad Lieutenant snowboard/ski helmet, black]] — Far less heavy and less expensive than the US/UN [[Wikipedia:Personnel_Armor_System_for_Ground_Troops_Helmet|PASGT helmet]].
* Goggles
** Either [[:Image:Paulson-tactical-goggle.jpg|Paulson 510T Tactical Goggles]] or [[:Image:Paulson 510TF ATAC "Frag" Goggles.jpg|Paulson 510TF ATAC "Frag" Goggles]], depending on what the costume department was budgeted for or paid for them. The closures, hinges, and "face gasket" are the giveaways.
* Small Arms
:See the article ''[[Small arms]]''
* Combat Vest
** [http://www.pointblankarmor.com/spider.asp PBBA SPIDER] — Offered by a company called Point-Blank Body Armor, Inc., the vests appear to be one of these models, with a "modular grid attachment system" based around snaps (the telltale characteristic looking at a Colonial Marine's back) and velcro. This affords the costume department the option to attach whatever they want to the vests, regardless of compatibility, since all they need to do is stitch on some velcro. As to whether is the SPIDER specifically that is being used, or one of the following models, or a model offered from another manufacturer, has yet to be confirmed, but substantial research points towards this being the vest used in the series.
** [http://www.pointblankarmor.com/mrv.asp PBBA MRV+ SWAT] — "heavier" vest variant
** [http://www.pointblankarmor.com/swatcertplus.asp PBBA SWAT Cert+] — higher-collared variant
** [http://www.pinnaclearmor.com/body-armor/tactical.php Pinnacle Armor Tactical Vest] — It more than likely is this one in the "modular grid base" unit. It makes the most sense, since it would be most cost effective to get the unlined, unarmored modular vest, with the velcro and snaps, and just attach whatever needed to it.
* Knife
** [[:Image:M7Bayonet.jpg|M7 bayonets]] — Although they have never been drawn, bayonets carried by the Marines appear consistent with M7s' sheath and handle.
* Jackets
** [[Wikipedia: M-1965 field jacket|M-65 field jacket]] — The rescue team that is sent to Caprica in "Lay Down Your Burdens" is wearing olive-drab green M-65 field jackets.

Very few Marine officers appear to be stationed on ''Galactica''; when they are shown on missions, usually Fleet officers command the Marine units. [[Crashdown]]'s actions on Kobol ([[Fragged]]) suggest that Fleet officers are cross trained in conducting ground operations. The only Marine officers shown so far are Lieutenant [[Terry Burrell]] ([[Sacrifice]]) and an [[Unnamed Galactica and Pegasus crew (RDM)#Marine Lieutenant|unnamed lieutenant]] in "[[Escape Velocity]]".

Marines are evidently untrained in crowd control, as the actions on the ''[[Scylla]]'' and ''[[Gideon]]'' demonstrate. In each of these situations Marines react with little discipline to enraged crowds ("[[Razor]]", "[[Final Cut]]"). Marines are also present enforcing an order restricting public congregation ([[Escape Velocity]]).

Colonial Marines are also called "[[Wikipedia:Military slang#J|jarhead]]s". Like the Colonial Fleet, the Corps has a reserve component (Final Cut)

== Rank Structure ==

Only the ranks of the enlisted crew have been established in detail so far, but it is known that the rank of lieutenant exists. See ''[[Military Ranks (RDM)]]'' for details.

==Real life costuming notes==

The Colonial Marine Corps battle [[Uniforms (RDM)|uniforms]] appear to be based on those of the U.S. Army's [[Wikipedia:Delta Force|Delta Force]] or the counter-terrorist branch of the British Army's [[Wikipedia:Special Air Service|Special Air Service Regiment]]. Besides their black combat uniforms, the weapons and personal combat equipment of the Marines are similar to what today's police SWAT teams and anti-terrorist special forces units utilize.

[[Image:Marine_cic_standing01.jpg|180px|right|thumb|A Colonial Marine stands watch in ''Galactica's'' CIC]]

To date, the Marines have appeared in either an all-black BDU (aboard ship) or an olive-drab/green BDU (planetside, as in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]"). There is evidence that the Colonial Marine Corps do utilize digital camouflage uniforms like the real-life [[Wikipedia: United States Marine Corps | United States Marine Corps]] with their [[Wikipedia: MARPAT | MARPAT]] digital camouflage uniforms, but it appears that the wearing of digital camouflage uniforms are restricted to regular Colonial Marine Corps forces while the Marines serving as security personnel on the warships of the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] are issued solid-color combat uniforms in black, khaki, and olive-drab. One piece of evidence that the Colonial Marine Corps do utilize digital camouflage uniforms can be seen the in the episodes "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]" and "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II|Part II]]" when the rescue team that is deployed to Caprica have "woodland" digital camouflage backpacks on their backs. Furthermore, in one of the [[Razor Flashback]] episodes, two Colonial Marine medics are wearing "woodland" digital camouflage uniforms on ''Galactica'''s hangar deck. Digital camouflage is also used by the landing party on Kobol in "[[Home, Part II]]" (by both William and Lee Adama), as well as the [[:Image:SP Scattered.JPG|Shore Patrol]] personnel in "[[Scattered]]".
By todays standards the Marines are lightly armed. When [[Lee Adama]] is rescued by a Marine fire team when one of them fires a explosive round from his sidearms. He tells Lee the [[Centurions]] can only be destroyed with explosive round and that was their last one. If the fireteam had destroyed At least one Centurion that may emply that they carry only one explosive round. It is also seen that the Marines do not carry Gearnades other than a flash bang [[He That Believeth In Me]]. The Marines also appear not to have Armor plating in their combat vest and being that todays Marines mostly do have Armor plates in their Combat Vest.

.
To outfit the Marines, the show's costume department appears to use the following real-world items:<br>
* Helmet
**[[:Image:Ski helmet.jpg|Giro Bad Lieutenant snowboard/ski helmet, black]] — Far less heavy and less expensive than the US/UN [[Wikipedia:Personnel_Armor_System_for_Ground_Troops_Helmet|PASGT helmet]].
* Goggles
** Either [[:Image:Paulson-tactical-goggle.jpg|Paulson 510T Tactical Goggles]] or [[:Image:Paulson 510TF ATAC "Frag" Goggles.jpg|Paulson 510TF ATAC "Frag" Goggles]], depending on what the costume department was budgeted for or paid for them. The closures, hinges, and "face gasket" are the giveaways.
* Small Arms
:See the article ''[[Small arms]]''
* Combat Vest
** [http://www.pointblankarmor.com/spider.asp PBBA SPIDER] — Offered by a company called Point-Blank Body Armor, Inc., the vests appear to be one of these models, with a "modular grid attachment system" based around snaps (the telltale characteristic looking at a Colonial Marine's back) and velcro. This affords the costume department the option to attach whatever they want to the vests, regardless of compatibility, since all they need to do is stitch on some velcro. As to whether is the SPIDER specifically that is being used, or one of the following models, or a model offered from another manufacturer, has yet to be confirmed, but substantial research points towards this being the vest used in the series.
** [http://www.pointblankarmor.com/mrv.asp PBBA MRV+ SWAT] — "heavier" vest variant
** [http://www.pointblankarmor.com/swatcertplus.asp PBBA SWAT Cert+] — higher-collared variant
** [http://www.pinnaclearmor.com/body-armor/tactical.php Pinnacle Armor Tactical Vest] — It more than likely is this one in the "modular grid base" unit. It makes the most sense, since it would be most cost effective to get the unlined, unarmored modular vest, with the velcro and snaps, and just attach whatever needed to it.
* Knife
** [[:Image:M7Bayonet.jpg|M7 bayonets]] — Although they have never been drawn, bayonets carried by the Marines appear consistent with M7s' sheath and handle.
* Jackets
** [[Wikipedia: M-1965 field jacket|M-65 field jacket]] — The rescue team that is sent to Caprica in "Lay Down Your Burdens" is wearing olive-drab green M-65 field jackets.

Deckhand

2009-02-18T19:35:56Z

Ausir: /* Status Unknown */

[[Image:Galactica's deckhands.jpg|Chief Galen Tyrol and his deckhands.|thumb|right]]

'''Deckhands''' are multi-faceted crewmembers on [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestars]] who prepare and maintain Colonial [[Viper (RDM)|fighters]] and [[Raptor|reconnaissance vehicles]] for flight and turnaround.

Led at one time by ''[[Galactica|Galactica's]]'' senior non-commissioned officer, Chief Petty Officer [[Galen Tyrol]], before he is [[Escape Velocity|demoted]], and currently by Chief Petty Officer [[Peter Laird]], deckhands (also nicknamed, sometimes derisively, as "knuckledraggers") are tasked with keeping the limited number of Vipers and Raptors ready at all times for [[Combat Air Patrol]]s, Raptor [[The Fleet (RDM)|intra-Fleet]] shuttle flights, and large-scale engagements with [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] forces.

Deckhand jumpsuits come in several colors, suggesting that some have had specific duties or training, at least prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. The jumpsuits have optional pockets for the myriad of tools and equipment that must be carried about for certain tasks.

Deckhands serve on launch crews, repair and maintenance crews, damage control teams, and many other duties as assigned.

Frequently seen deckhands in the [[Re-imagined Series]] include [[Galen Tyrol]], [[Cally Tyrol]], [[Diana Seelix]], [[James Lyman]] and [[Anthony Figurski]].

All deckhands are enlisted personnel.
