The [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|re-imagined Battlestar Galactica]] series shares a humorous and sometimes mysterious affinity in placing numbers with popular-culture cross-references or inside jokes in episode content.

== 12 ==

* There are 12 Colonies which match the 12 zodiac symbols.
* There are 12 models of [[Cylon agent]].
* According to President [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]] there were 12 snakes encircling her press podium when she had one of her first [[Chamalla]]-induced visions ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]). This vision was predicted by the prophet [[Pythia]], stating: "And the Lords anointed a leader to guide the caravan of the heavens to their new homeland. And unto the leader, they gave a vision of serpents, numbering two and ten, as a sign of things to come" ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]).
* There were 12 Vipers that participated on the direct assault at the [[Battle for the Tylium Asteroid]]. Pythia's prophecy also mentioned that the humans would be led by "serpents numbering two and ten."
* There were 12 [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestars]] constructed on the onset of the [[Cylon War]] ([[Miniseries]]).
* There are 12 days between the first time Helo and Caprica-Valerii make love and when she becomes visibly pregnant.
* There are twelve thoracic vertebrae in the human spine, which glow during sexual intercourse on Cylon agents.
* The number 12 is visible (albeit upside-down) on a fuzzy die in Starbuck's locker on ''Pegasus'' ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).

== 13 ==

* There are 13 Colonies - the [[Twelve Colonies]], plus the thirteenth Colony, [[Earth]].
* There are 13 episodes in the first season of the re-imagined "Battlestar Galactica."
**This is the standard number of episodes in the first 'trial' season of many new shows; 52 weeks a year/4 = 13 weeks a "season" that they air episodes.
* 13 pilots were killed by the communication drone accident in "[[Act of Contrition]]."

== 33 ==

* [[33]] is the name of the first episode
* 33 is the number of minutes between Cylon attacks in the episode [[33]]
* 33 is the largest printed number on the [[Radio Magnetic Indicator]]
* The [[Wikipedia:Homeric Hymns|Homeric Hymns]] are '''33''' verses to various characters from Greek mythology, a few of which are also [[Lords of Kobol]].

=== {{from_RDM_blog}}: Why 33 minutes? ===

:"The truth is, there's no real answer. It's just a random number that felt right when I came up with the idea that our people were under continuous, relentless attack since the end of the pilot. I wanted it to be a short interval, just long enough for them to grab a bite to eat, jump in the shower and maybe try to catch a catnap before dragging themselves back to their duty stations and begin the whole tedious, terrifying ordeal all over again.

:"A deeper truth is, I was never interested in coming up with an explanation for Why? Never. I mean, I suppose I could've come up with a sufficiently important-sounding bit of technobabble that would've made sense (you see, the [[Cylon]] double-talk sensors tracking the [[Olympic Carrier]]'s nonsense drive signature needed 15 minutes to relay the made-up data wave through the pretend continuum, then the Cylon navigational hyper silly system needed another 10 minutes to recalculate the flux capacitor, etc.) but what would that have really added to the drama? How does explaining that 33 minute interval help our understanding of [[Laura Roslin|Laura]]'s terrible moment of decision, or bring us to any greater knowledge of [[Anastasia Dualla|Dualla]]'s search for her missing family and friends, or yield insight into [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]]'s morally shattered psyche?

:"It doesn't, of course. The answer, however artfully it may (or may not) have been crafted can only subtract from the experience we have in watching the episode. Not knowing the how's or why's of the Cylon attack puts us in the same seat as the characters we're watching. They're in the dark, and we're in the dark. The relentless attack is unfathomable in its origin and unstoppable in its execution. It's mortality coming at you on a loop. If you only had 33 minutes before the next time you could die, what would you do? And what about the time after that? And the time after that? At a certain point, you stop caring about why it's happening, all you know is that it is happening, and it's happening to you.

:"So the mystery of 33 will be permanent on this show. No explanation, not even the attempt. Let it just be a number that seemed like an eternity for five long days on the [[battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]''."

== 42 ==

*There were 42 people in front of Secretary of Education [[Laura Roslin]] in line of succession for the presidency of the Twelve Colonies. "42" is the infamous "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything"...of course, no one knows what the ''Question'' is, so ''out of context'' as a result, "42" is meaningless. The "42" joke is from Douglas Adams's masterpiece, the five book "[[Wikipedia:Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy]]" Trilogy (yes, ''five'' book "Trilogy"). Another helpful axiom from the books is that when traveling around different planets through space, it's always best to "'''Know where your towel is"''' - which is considered a serious blunder to forget - a mistake which [[Lee Adama]] has nearly made on several occasions.

*The license plate number on the Humvee Helo and Starbuck are standing in front of at the end of "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]" is "FB '''42''' E3".

== 47 ==

*This was the last lottery number held by a lucky refugee on [[Twelve Colonies#Caprica|Caprica]], who was rescued by Lt. [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Sharon Valerii]] during an emergency stop on the Colony during the initial [[Cylon Attack]]. Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] appeared to momentarily consider using the number for himself as the older woman could not read her number (her forgetfulness led her to neglect her glasses on top of her head). But Baltar was frightened out of the idea when [[Karl Agathon]] recognized him, and Baltar feared arrest for [[Colonial Defense Mainframe|treason]].

*The [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|''Galactica'' copy of Sharon Valerii]], as her stint as Boomer, the [[Raptor]] pilot, flew '''47''' missions in her Raptor ([[Flight of the Phoenix]]).

*The fighter tail number of [[Raymond Lai]]'s old Mark II [[Viper 8547|Viper]], later piloted by [[Kara Thrace]], is number 85'''47''' ([[Miniseries]]).

*The fighter tail number of [[William Adama]]'s refurbished Mark II [[Viper 7242|Viper]], later piloted by [[Lee Adama]] when escorting ''[[Colonial Heavy 798]]'' back to Caprica, is '''7'''2'''4'''2 ([[Miniseries]])

The number 47 was a very common in-joke in "Star Trek: The Next Generation". Writer [[Wikipedia:Joe Menosky|Joe Menosky]], a Pomoma College alumni, originated this joke based on a humorous "47 Society" at the college. He and other writers placed the number as many times as possible throughout the series in [[technobabble]], props, and visual references.

The "47" joke has become the numerical counterpart to the audio clip known as the [[Wikipedia:Wilhelm scream|"Wilhelm Scream"]] that's added to many, many action movies as an in-joke between directors and sound editors. Currently, the TV spy drama "[[Wikipedia:Alias (TV series)|Alias]]" has taken the "47" joke to almost-epic proportions by placing very obvious references in most of its episodes over its 5-year history.

== 1701 ==
[[Image:Enterprise in fleet.jpg|right|thumb|Enterprise NCC-1701 in fleet.]]

This is part of the registry number of the famous "USS ''Enterprise''" of the "Star Trek" TV and movie series. In the [[Miniseries]], ''[[Colonial One]]'' rescues a passenger liner named "Gemenon Liner 1701." This is an inside nod to [[Ronald D. Moore|RDM]]'s work in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" TV series.
Interestingly, the ''actual'' USS ''Enterprise'' NCC-1701 appeared in the miniseries tucked away in the background of the final shot of the fleet. As a result of stock footage, the Enterprise actually appears in the opening credits of every episode.

== 893893 ==
[[Tom Zarek|Zarek's]] repetitive prisoner number, "893893", suggests that it was not selected at random.

Number Three

Cylon Model '''Number Three''', known to [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] as '''D'anna Biers''', has infiltrated as a [[Colonial]] reporter for the [[Fleet News Service]] ([[Final Cut]]). Biers appears to be more of a tabloid rumor-and-innuendo format news journalist and less of the conventional Fleet journalist types such as [[James McManus]].

Biers is investigating the shootings of four civilians during a military intervention authorized by Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] in what she dubs for sensationalism's sake as the ''"[[Gideon]] massacre"''. Her efforts to interview ''[[Galactica]]'s'' crew are constantly thwarted by military protocol and stonewalling by Commander [[William Adama|Adama]], who privately acknowledges Tigh's mistakes, but seems adamant not to render any punishment.

The social and political repercussions of the ''[[Gideon]]'' incident become too much for President [[Laura Roslin]] to ignore. The citizens of the Fleet are becoming critical of ''Galactica'' and wonder if the military places itself at a different level of self-responsibility than its citizens. Working with Commander Adama, President Roslin invites Biers aboard ''[[Colonial One]]'' and proposes something interesting to the reporter. Adama and Roslin will give Biers "unlimited" access to ''Galactica'' and her crew to create a documentary on what it is like to be the last defensive group of the Twelve Colonies, as well as allowing her to interview many of the crew on the ''Gideon'' incident.

Biers is initially given a tour of the battlestar by Petty Officer [[Anastasia Dualla]], but finds the nuts-and-bolts technology and layout information boring. She and her photographer, [[Bell]], prefer to record and interview the candid moments of ''Galactica's'' crew--even going so far as entering the senior pilot's quarters, where a scantily-clad [[Lee Adama]] finds the intrusion most unwelcome.

Biers begins in-depth personal interviews with many of the crew, including Dualla, Lieutenants [[Felix Gaeta|Gaeta]], [[Margaret Edmondson]], [[Kara Thrace]] and [[Karl Agathon]], as well as attempts to interview command staff such as Colonel Tigh. Of all the interviews, she desperately wants to ask Tigh many questions on his decisions in the ''Gideon'' incident, but Tigh stonewalls and evades her questions, partially from his annoyance in the situation, but also because he is distracted by a mysterious death threat left in his quarters: a verse of a poem from a Caprican poet known as [[Kataris]].

Biers appears to be in the right place at the wrong times throughout her documentary filming. She captures the growing behavioral problems with Lieutenant [[Louanne Katraine]], a Viper pilot who later crash-lands her Viper after failing a routine landing and is found to have been abusing [[stims]] because of the pressures she endures from the loss of her family and friends as well as the demands of being a Viper pilot. Biers also captures the sabotage to a [[Raptor]] that was intended to shuttle Colonel Tigh to ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' for some downtime for the colonel as well as a bit of business on orders of Commander Adama.

As Biers passes through [[sickbay]] during her documentary, she makes a highly unusual find. [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Sharon Valerii]] is alive and being treated in sickbay. The existence of this second copy of the known [[Cylon agent|Cylon infiltrator]], who was thought to be dead by [[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]], is too much for Biers not to document. However, Commander Adama intercepts Biers and demands that she give him the intriguing footage of Valerii. Biers pointedly asks why Adama is harboring this known Cylon in secret aboard the ship, and suggests that news of Valerii's existence could ruin Adama in the eyes of the Fleet. Adama evades the question and redirects it at Biers, asking whether exposure of this second Valerii's existence to the Fleet would do anyone any good. She surrenders a tape to Adama, but unknown to him, Biers retains the actual footage of Valerii in secret for herself.

Biers gets an opportunity to document what happens in [[CIC]] during a Cylon Raider raid at the Fleet.

As Biers is editing the documentary, reviewing the footage from the senior pilot's quarters, she sees [[Joe Palladino]] on his bunk with a copy of a book by Kataris. Biers' knowledge of Palladino's involvement in the ''Gideon'' incident immediately determines that Palladino is the likely suspect in the death threats. She and Bell grab their photo gear and rush to Tigh's quarters to find that Palladino has bound Tigh's wife, [[Ellen Tigh|Ellen]] and threatens to shoot Colonel Tigh with a sidearm. Tigh manages to talk the agitated lieutenant down and disarm him, where [[Colonial Marine Corps|marines]] take the wayward Viper pilot away.

Bier's final documentary is reviewed by Tigh, Adama, and President Roslin. While Tigh is initially perturbed at the documentary's unshiny look into Colonial military life, Adama finds it a good story, "warts and all." The documentary is broadcast to the Fleet, with Biers concluding the documentary with a rousing monologue:

:"I came to ''Galactica'' to tell a story. In all honesty, I thought I knew what that story was before I ever set foot here. How an arrogant military let their egos get in the way of doing their job safeguarding the lives of the civilian population. But I found the truth was more complex than that. These people aren't Cylons. They're not robots blindly following orders and polishing their boots. They're people. Deeply flawed, yes, but deeply human too. And maybe that's saying the same thing. What struck me the most is that despite it all: the hardships, the stress, the ever-present danger of being killed-- despite all that, they never give up. Never lie down in the road and let the truck run them over. They wake up in the morning, put on their uniforms, and do their jobs. Every day, no pay. No rest. No hope of ever laying down the burden and letting someone else do the job. There are no relief troops coming, no Colonial fleet training new recruits every day. The people on ''Galactica'' are '''it'''. They are the thin line of blue separating us from the Cylons."

:"Lieutenant Gaeta told me a remarkable statistic. Not a single member of ''Galactica's'' crew has asked to resign. Not one. Think about that. If you wore the uniform, wouldn't you want to quit? To step aside and say, "Enough. Let someone else protect the Fleet." I know I would. But then, I don't wear a uniform. Most of us don't, most of us never will. The story of ''Galactica'' isn't that people make bad decisions under pressure. It's that those mistakes are the exception. Most of the time, the men and women serving under Commander Adama get it right. The proof is that our fleet survives. And with ''Galactica'' at our side, we will endure. This is D'anna Biers, Fleet News Service."

But the Fleet is not the only group that sees the documentary. A group of humanoid Cylons on Caprica--copies of [[Aaron Doral]], [[Number Six]], another [[Sharon Valerii]] copy and one other person, hidden from view initially in the theater where they sit, watch Biers' documentary (including, surprisingly, the footage of the Sharon Valerii copy in sickbay that Adama had presumably confiscated) with great interest. The Valerii copy chuckles in surprise at the survival of her pregnant doppleganger on ''Galactica'', and the others are very intent on monitoring the pregnancy and survival of the Cylon/human hybrid fetus. The mysterious 4th person in the theater is revealed: a second copy of D'anna Biers, which notes that the Raiders that intercepted ''Galactica'' were used to relay the documentary and its forbidden footage of Valerii from themselves to a nearby Cylon fleet for transmission to Caprica, at the price of some loss of Cylon material.

Another version of Number Three was also in charge of "Downloading" [[Cylon agent]]s, and presided over the returns of both [[Caprica-Six]] and [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Sharon]]. Like her counterpart in the movie theater, she is assisted by a Five, Six, and Eight.
[[Image:Biers Downloaded.JPG|thumb|left|Number Three model on Caprica ([[Downloaded]])]]

Yet another Three (or possibly one of the previous two) enlisted "[[Caprica-Six]]" to help "reintegrate" the Sharon Valerii model known to humans as "Boomer" (Three and Six were previously friends from Six's own reintegration). Though her motives were outwardly altruistic, her conversation with them is filled with double meanings, trying to subtlely nudge both into exposing that they were "corrupted" by their close human interaction. Three's real goal is to assess the risk factor of these "Heroes of the Cylon" to the status quo, due to their different perpectives on the war and the genocide, and later [[boxing|box]] their consciousnesses when she became convinced they were a threat to the Cylon collective society.

Three is later trapped with both Caprica Six and "Boomer" Valerii beneath a garage after capturing [[Anders]]. With a hint from her internal "Gaius Baltar", Six deduces the truth. Shortly thereafter, Three resolves to kill Anders in spite of her previous agreement. But "Caprica" proves Three's assessment correct, and smashes her in the skull with debris ([[Downloaded]]).

Number Three (or at least this particular Number Three) appears to be a strict devotee of the [[Cylon Religion|Cylon religion]]. In Lucy Lawless' words "She's like the ultimate narcissist. She believes that she is the pure form, so she is constantly trying to bring everyone else in line with her worldview".

''D'anna Biers was supposed to appear in a subplot of "Downloaded" in which she conspired with [[Gina]] to kidnap [[Hera]]. The episode ran overtime and the scenes, which were indeed filmed, were cut.''

==Notes==

*D'anna Biers is one of three [[Cylon agent]]s revealed in [[Season 2 (2005-06)|Season 2]]. Her ultimate goals may have originally been to turn the civilians against ''[[Galactica]]'', but this plan may have been later abandoned. Her current goal seems to be to keep tabs on [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Caprica-Valerii]], being held in ''Galactica's'' [[brig]].
*Since Biers has not appeared in past episodes that feature the fleet-wide press, it can be speculated that prior to the [[Cylon Attack]], she was more of a tabloid investigative reporter than a mainstream journalist.
**Actually, there's a simpler explanation - the journalists we've seen so far have mostly been members of the press crew covering Galactica's decomissioning - print journalists and radio commentators. Biers is a filmmaker. I mean, you wouldn't expect to find Michael Moore covering a white house press conference, right? That's just not what he does.
*Biers' existence as a Cylon infiltrator brings the total number of revealed models to six as of "[[Final Cut]]". This leaves five unknown models as of "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]". [[Cylon agent speculation|Speculation on other characters]] and their true identities as Colonials or Cylon infiltrators is still ongoing.
*In behind the scenes interviews, Lucy Lawless has said that to contrast her character with ''Galactica's'' crew, D'Anna still wears fashionable clothes, make up, and jewelry, probably because she has access to some form of [[black market (organization)|black market]] in the Fleet.
*Lucy Lawless has stated that she will return as D'anna in 10 episodes of season 3 (fully half of the 20 episode season, though they might be interspersed throughout the season).
*[[Lucy Lawless]]' more renowned TV character, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xena Xena], originates from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphipolis Amphipolis]; an actual village situated between Greek provinces Macedonia and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrace Thrace]. See also [[Kara Thrace]] entry.
{{spoiltext|*At the official [http://www.ausxip.com/conventions/2006burbank/taipo-conlucy.html Xena 2006 Convention], Lucy Lawless stated that "they" turned around and asked her "Do you want to play [[God]]?" There is a character who sets herself up as God, and Lucy would likely play her. Her theory is that there's nowhere to go after playing Xena but to playing God! But ''none of this is a done deal'', she cautions, because they're still working out the logistics}}

Galactica 1980

2006-07-15T18:25:31Z

Ez-agents:

{{shortcut|1980}}

[[Image:gal802.jpg|thumb|Opening shot from Galactica 1980]]
'''''Galactica 1980''''' is a science-fiction television series, and a [[spin-off]] from [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Battlestar Galactica]]. It was first broadcast on the ABC Television Network in the United States from January 27, 1980 to May 4, 1980.

==Synopsis==

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

Commander [[Adama (1980)|Adama]] and Colonel [[Boomer (1980)|Boomer]]—now second-in-command in place of Colonel [[Tigh (TOS)|Tigh]]—send Captain "Boxey" [[Troy (1980)|Troy]], the adopted son of Adama's own son Apollo, and Lt. [[Dillon]] to North America, where they become entangled with TV journalist [[Jamie Hamilton]]. The three of them devise ways to help Earth's scientists and outwit the Cylons.

[[Image:GAL801.jpg|thumb|Captain Troy and Jamie Hamilton]]
===Cast===

* [[Lorne Greene]] - [[Adama (1980)|Commander Adama]]
* [[Robyn Douglas]] - [[Jamie Hamilton]]
* [[Herb Jefferson Jr.]] - [[Boomer (1980)|Colonel Boomer]]
* [[Richard Lynch]] - [[Xavier]]
* [[Kent McCord]] - [[Troy (1980)|Captain Troy]]
* [http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0587863/ Allan Miller] - [[Colonel Sydell]]
* [http://us.imdb.com/M/person-exact?+James+Patrick+Stuart Patrick Stuart] - [[Doctor Zee]]
* [http://us.imdb.com/M/person-exact?+Robbie+Rist Robbie Rist] - [[Doctor Zee]]
* [[Barry Van Dyke]] - [[Dillon|Lieutenant Dillon]]

Greene (Adama) and Jefferson (Boomer) were the only major cast members of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] to reprise their roles in this spin-off.

==Short life==

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

The series also suffered from what are now considered science fiction cliches. For some fans, the addition of the mysterious [[Doctor Zee]], a prodigy child that serves as counsel to Adama, pushed their suspension of disbelief to the breaking point.

[[Image:Heroes.jpg|thumb|Troy, Jamie and Dillon]]Many fans see ''Galactica 1980'' as a poor, non-[[canon]]ical spin-off of the Original Series, perhaps one of the worst shows in television science fiction history. However, most fans exclude their contempt of this show when considering its last episode, "[[The Return of Starbuck]]", whose story of the fate of a popular character of the Original Series was well written and full of the same energy found in many of of the Original Series episodes.

One curious Cylon character in the two-part episode, "[[The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I|The Night the Cylons Landed]]" may be the one significant contribution to the "Galactica" saga. In the episode, Cylons disguised in human form arrive on Earth to cause mayhem. This character may have inspired the sinister and mysterious [[Cylon agent|humanoid Cylons]] that wreak terror and havoc amongst the Colonies in the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|re-invented "Galactica" series that debuts 23 years later.]]

==Syndication and beyond==

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

Thirteenth Tribe

2006-07-15T18:22:34Z

Ez-agents:

Said to have been the first humans to have left [[Kobol]], either before or at the beginning of the Great Exodus, their desination stated as the planet [[Earth]]. According to priest [[Elosha]], "the [[Sacred Scrolls]] tell that the 13th tribe left Kobol in the early days. They travelled far and made their home upon a planet called '''Earth'''...which circled a distant and unknown star." ([[Miniseries]])

It is possible that the [[Lords of Kobol]] travelled with the thirteenth tribe to Earth, though they were apparently still on Kobol at least until the other 12 tribes left ([[Home, Part II]]).

The Twelve Colonies of Kobol

2006-07-15T18:21:57Z

Ez-agents:

:''This article discusses the Twelve Colonies of the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]]. See [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)]] for information on the Colonies of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]].''

{{Twelve Colonies Series}}
Approximately 2,000 years ago, twelve of the thirteen tribes of [[Kobol]] settled on nearby worlds ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]). Their names and icons originally corresponded to the twelve signs of the ancient tribes although these [[wikipedia:Zodiac|names]] drifted over time. ([[Home, Part II]]).<ref>Flag matches with Cononies from "Encyclopedia Galactica." [[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine]]. Feb./Mar. 2006: 50-55.</ref>

Although Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] and President [[Roslin]] mention leaving the solar system, it is unclear whether all twelve Colonies are orbiting a single star or what the name of this star might be. ([[Miniseries]])

The semi-canonical 2003 [[Video Game]] names the home system for the Twelve Colonies as [[Cyrannus]] but this has yet to be confirmed in the new television series. In an early script of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica Miniseries, the Twelve Colonies were originally located on a single world - [[Kobol]]. However, this was later revised to twelve separate worlds, in keeping with the original concept.''

[[Ronald D. Moore]] has suggested that the Colonies probably maintained some minor observatories and listening posts in outlying star systems, but it is unlikely that ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' will encounter them in the course of the series. <ref>[http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/archives/2005/01/index.html#a000016 January 30, 2005] blog entry by [[Ronald D. Moore]]</ref>

==Aerelon==
[[Image:ColonialColors7.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and Symbol of Aerelon]]
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Aries|Aries]]

"15 people were killed" when President [[Richard Adar]], for reasons unexplained, sent the [[Colonial Marine Corps|Marines]] to Aerelon ([[Water]]).

The mining colony of [[Troy]], destroyed in a cataclysmic explosion ([[Flesh and Bone]]) is located near Aerelon, and may have been operated by natives of that world. [[Troy]] was the alleged home of [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Sharon Valerii]] ([[Flesh and Bone]]).

The pro [[Pyramid (RDM)|Pyramid]] team from Aerelon played against the [[Caprica Buccaneers]] in one of the last games before the Cylon attack. They apparently won ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).

A photo of a grief-stricken soldier staring out at the ruins of Aerelon's capital hangs behind President Roslin's desk and on the bulkhead of the pilot ready room on ''Galactica'' (titled "[[Lest We Forget]]"). ''Galactica's ''pilots touch the photo for luck as they file past to the hanger.

==Caprica==
[[Image:ColonialColors3.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and Symbol of Caprica]]
'''Ancient Name''': (presumably [[wikipedia:Capricorn|Capricorn]])

Caprica is a large blue-green planet, similar to Earth. Its largest population center is [[Caprica City]], which serves as the seat of all three branches of the Colonial [[Government]]. Caprica City is surrounded by other small towns and hamlets, such as [[Oasis]]. Thus far, Caprica is the only planet of the Twelve Colonies that viewers have seen directly. The episode opening credits show Caprica City, as well as the nuclear bombing of Caprica itself.

Other major cities included [[Delphi]], famous for the [[Delphi Museum of the Colonies]] and also home to a large spaceport. During the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]], the Cylons spared Delphi from nuclear bombardment in order to use it as a base of operations in their occupation of the planet. The human [[Caprica Resistance|resistance]] cell led by [[Samuel Anders]] operates near Delphi.

Caprica is known for its fine Caprican cloth (which Dr. Gaius Baltar wears), [[fumarella leaf]], [[Caprican Imperial|Caprican cigars]] and art.

A railway line can be seen below the balcony of Baltar's house on Caprica during [[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]. Internal combustion engine powered vehicles, such as cars and trucks, are seen extensively in shots of Caprica.

==Gemenon==
[[Image:ColonialColors5.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and Symbol of Gemenon]]
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Gemini|Gemini]]

Gemenon natives are known for their literal interpretations of the [[Sacred Scrolls]] ([[Fragged]]). Despite federal laws guaranteeing of reproductive freedom, the population of Gemenon was apparently very strongly opposed to abortion. Traditional Gemenese law declares children to be the property of their parents ([[The Captain's Hand]]).

Gemenon is home to the Kobol College School of Public Relations ([[Miniseries]]). One of the last ever pro [[Pyramid (RDM)|Pyramid]] games was held on Gemenon just prior to the [[Cylon Attack]] on the Colonies ([[Miniseries]]).

==Libra==
[[Image:ColonialColors11.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and Symbol of Libra]]
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Libra|Libra]]

''Practically no information has been given yet regarding the colony corresponding to Libra. Its colonial-era name also has yet to be confirmed.''

The ''[[Space Park]]'', a passenger liner in [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]], is of Libran registry.

 

==Picon==
[[Image:ColonialColors2.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and Symbol of Picon]]
'''Ancient Name''': (presumably [[wikipedia:Pisces|Pisces]])

Picon was the location for the [[Picon Fleet Headquarters|Colonial Fleet Headquarters]] ([[Miniseries]]), and as such came under heavy attack during the early stages of the [[Cylon Attack|Cylon attack]]. President [[Richard Adar]] offered a complete and unconditional surrender to the Cylons after Picon was nuked; this overture was ignored ([[Miniseries]], [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)|deleted scene]]).

[[Ellen Tigh]] claimed to be at the airport on Picon, "on her way home" when the attack started, and that some unknown hero ensured she was put on the last ship to get off the planet ([[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]).

==Sagittaron==
[[Image:ColonialColors10.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and Symbol of Sagittaron]]
'''Ancient Name''': (presumably [[wikipedia:Sagittarius|Sagittarius]])

Sagittaron endured centuries of exploitation at the hands of the other Colonies ([[Bastille Day]]), so much so that even after unified Colonial rule, [[Tom Zarek]] led an organized series of terrorist acts against the established government there. One of these acts include blowing up a government building ([[Bastille Day]]). Under Sagittarian penal law, convicted felons lose their citizenship, but have it automatically reinstated after they finish serving their sentences. This included the right to vote and to stand for election ([[Colonial Day]]).

As of "[[33]]", 5,251 natives of the planet were in [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]].

'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Scorpius|Scorpio]]

Home to the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]], where the battlestar ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' was docked during the [[Cylon Attack]]. Scorpia native [[Eladio Puasha]] serves as its Quorum delegate.

 

==Tauron==
[[Image:ColonialColors4.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and Symbol of Tauron]]
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Taurus (constellation)|Taurus]]

The unnamed [[Quorum of Twelve]] delegate from Tauron votes for [[Gaius Baltar]] in the vice-presidential elections ([[Colonial Day]]).

In a May 31st, 2006 [http://media23a.libsyn.com/a3eaeJh2aHaXeWN7Z3RppGuolHWY/podcasts/podcast411/411_060531.mp3 interview], [[Ron Moore]] stated that he toyed with the idea of making Tauron a [[Wikipedia:matriarchy|matriarchy]], unlike the gender-blind society of the other Colonies (prominently Caprica) we've seen so far.

===Natives===
*Admiral [[Helena Cain]]

 

==Virgon==
[[Image:ColonialColors1.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and Symbol of Virgon]]
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Virgo|Virgo]]

[[Marshall Bagot]] is the Virgon Representative to the [[Quorum of Twelve]]. In public ceremony, the Virgon delegate wears a light blue sash.

Soon after the [[Cylon attack]] began, a large battle began "shaping up" over the planet and apparently ended with the destruction of the [[battlestar]] ''[[Atlantia]]'' and the death of [[Admiral Nagala]] hours later.

== Overview ==

: ''Continuing from the events of the [[Miniseries]], [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'' and [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] must avoid their [[Cylon]] pursuers, which ambush them every 33 minutes after each successful [[FTL|Jump]].''

== Summary ==

=== On ''[[Galactica]]'' ===
* The crew of battlestar ''[[Galactica]]'' have been on continuous alert for some 130.35 hours, during which time the Fleet has had to make an [[FTL|FTL Jump]] every 33 minutes to escape their [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] pursuers shortly after their initial escape from [[Ragnar Anchorage]].
* Everyone in the Fleet is beginning to feel the strain – particularly [[Gaius Baltar]], who is also distracted by [[Number Six|Six’s]] repeated conversations about [[God]] having a plan for him, and also her wanting to have his children.
* Vessels in the Fleet are also beginning to feel the strain: Jump engines and their controlling computers are starting to breakdown or malfunction, requiring ''Galactica'' to linger longer and longer in the Cylon line of fire while the rest of the fleet complete their Jumps.
* Following jump number 237, [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] receives word from a Dr. [[Amorak]] aboard the ''[[Olympic Carrier]]'' concerning information on how the Cylons overcame Colonial defenses.
* Overhearing the conversation, Baltar is worried: he knew Amorak at the [[Defence Ministry]]. As Six points out, Amorak might have information on Baltar's complicity with the Cylon attack.
* There is insufficient time before the next Jump to bring Amorak aboard ''[[Colonial One]]'', but Roslin wants to see him directly after the Jump has been completed.
* Elsewhere, [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Sharon "Boomer" Valerii]] is having problems accepting her new [[ECO]], [[Crashdown]], and is feeling guilty about leaving [[Karl Agathon|Karl "Helo" Agathon]] on [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]] to his fate.
* When the next Jump is made, the ''Olympic Carrier'', complete with Dr. Amorak and 1344 other souls, fails to appear with the rest of the Fleet. Six tries to convince Baltar that it is because God is watching over him.
* Thirty-three minutes later, the Fleet is ready to jump, but the Cylons don’t appear. Adama orders a stand-down from the immediate alert, but the Fleet is to maintain a readiness to Jump, in case the Cylons do return.
* When Baltar continues to refuse the concept of God, the ''Olympic Carrier'' reappears; Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] orders the Fleet to [[Action Stations|Condition One alert]], fearing the worst. He orders the Jump clocks reset in anticipation of the Cylons arriving.
*The [[Combat Air Patrol]] lead by [[Lee Adama]] intercepts the [[Intersun|starliner]]. Adama orders all communications with the ''Carrier'' jammed and the ''Carrier'' is ordered (through signal lamps) to remain at its current position. When the ''Carrier'' fails to heed orders not to approach the fleet, tensions rise, and a [[Radiological Alarm|radiological alarm]] reveals there is now a nuclear weapon on the liner.
*As the crisis deepens, the Cylons appear precisely 33 minutes after the return of the ''Carrier'', confirming that the ''Carrier'' was used somehow by the Cylons to track the Fleet. Adama wants to destroy the liner, but Roslin hesitates to give the order, as no one can be sure if the 1,345 people aboard the ''Carrier'' are still alive. Baltar is terrified she won't give the order for fear of Amorak's information.
*Six uses the hesitation to push Baltar into “repenting” before God. As soon as he does, Roslin gives the order to destroy the liner. Apollo and [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] (reluctantly) open fire, destroying the liner. After the Fleet makes a Jump once more, the Cylon's relentless pursuit is halted.
*A day later, everyone is living with the consequences of their actions. Only [[Billy Keikeya]] has a small nugget of good news: at some point in the proceedings, a baby was born in the Fleet.

===On Caprica===
* [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] is on the run in the rainy woodland, and has [[Wikipedia:Claymore mine|Claymore-like ordinance]] he uses to blow up pursuing [[Cylon Centurion]]s.
* Helo's six days on the run comes to an end when he is captured by the Cylons, after being distracted by the appearance of a copy of [[Number Six]], wearing a white raincoat.
*Helo is “rescued” by [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|a copy of Valerii]], who shoots Six and then leads Helo away into the woods. Helo mistakenly believes that this Valerii copy is actually the "Boomer" copy that left Caprica and returned to rescue him.

== Summary from Sci-Fi.com ==

In the wake of the Cylon sneak attack, the ragtag fleet of human survivors is forced to play a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with their pursuers. Every 33 minutes, they make a jump to a new location. And every 33 minutes, the Cylons manage to find them. The pilots are on the brink of exhaustion, relying on artificial stimulants to keep fighting, and the civilians are beginning to doubt the leadership of Commander Adama and President Roslin.

When the Olympic Carrier, a commercial passenger ship, fails to make a jump and then later mysteriously turns up unharmed, Adama fears it has been infiltrated by the Cylons. His choice: destroy it and the 1,300 souls it might still be carrying, or risk the annihilation of the entire fleet. Adama is not alone in fearing the mystery ship. Baltar, who remains mentally connected with his beautiful and deadly Cylon companion Number Six, panics when he learns one of the ship's passengers has information about a traitor in the president's inner circle.

Meanwhile, down on the ruined, Cylon-occupied colony of Caprica, Helo is on the run from another group of Cylons. He's going to need help to make it back to the Galactica — but there's no help in sight….

== Questions ==

* Billy reports that the number of survivors is down by 300 - some lost through death from injuries, etc., some "lost" through initial inaccurate counts, and the rest have "disappeared." How can people simply "disappear" in the fleet?
* Does Doctor Amorak truly have something on Baltar's involvement in the holocaust?
* Is Six actually in contact with other Cylons, and thus involved in the disappearance / reappearance of the ''Olympic Carrier''?
* What happened to the group of survivors [[Helo]] was left with in the [[Miniseries]]?

==Blooper Moments==
* During the opening titles, ''Galactica'' is shown to be making a Jump with her flight pods extended - not only that, the shot was recycled footage from the [[Miniseries]].
* Billy may be a good PA, but he’s not good at math. The inaugural episode starts with 50,298 survivors. He informs Roslin this is in error by 300 = 49,998 survivors. When the Olympic Carrier is destroyed (1,345 people), he reduces the total to 47,972 – that’s a reduction of 2026, or 681 people MORE than listed on the ''Carrier''!
** Whatever Roslin taught at school, it wasn’t mathematics – she fails to pick up on Billy’s error.
** This is after five sleepless nights and doubtlessly uncertain population figures coming from across the Fleet, making the uncertain numbers of survivors partly reasonable. The business of performing an accurate census, after all, is of a comparatively low priority than the business of self-preservation.
* When [[Anastasia Dualla|Dualla]] admits that she lost the ''[[Olympic Carrier]]'', her headset changes sides during the conversation.
* As Helo fires upon the Cylon Centurion that survived the detonation of an anti-personnel mine (similar to a [[Wikipedia:Claymore mine|Claymore mine]]), the first time Helo fires the pistol, it is heard to fire, but there is no accompanying visual spark from the barrel. In contrast, the second shot is accompanied by both a spark and the appropriate sound.
* As the Cylon Centurion approaches Helo from behind, you can see the rain hitting it, but it does not drip off the Warrior's body. In contrast, water is dripping from Helo's face in a fairly consistent and noticeable manner.
* After the disappearance of the Olympic Carrier in Jump 238, and the timer is running towards the 33 minute mark, the viewer can see that the clock is at 10 seconds. When focusing on Adama and Tigh, the viewer hears ten seconds counting off, but when the camera quick-pans to the overhead console, it reads that 3 seconds have passed.
* Before the clock reaches zero in the pre-title sequence, a wide shot of CIC is shown with Adama and Tigh standing at the central console. The timer on the screen above their heads is flashing 00:00:00.
*Commander Adama is shown shaving in an early scene. Yet, by the time of the jump on which the ''Olympic Carrier'' is lost, he has a stubbly beard.

== Analysis ==

Overall, a good opening episode that cleverly adds to a number of arcs from the Miniseries: is Boomer a Cylon? What is the Six who is interacting with Baltar? Can the Colonials truly escape the shadow of the Cylons?

The opening sequence of shots ending with the second Valerii on Caprica is interesting: is this a hint to the real identity of Boomer on ''Galactica''? Also, is the good-natured teasing between Starbuck and Boomer during the CAP an indication that others have noticed Boomer seems to be handling the lack of sleep a lot better than others. Could this lead to some kind of rumor-mill starting-up about her? ([[Litmus|Answers start in "Litmus"]])

As to [[Number Six#Baltar's Internal Six|Baltar's Six]]: three possibilities seem to suggest themselves:

*She is a working of his own psyche; a reaction to his betrayal of his people to the Cylons. Certainly, his increasing psychosis in the episode would seem to point to this; but then, he has - like the rest - been five plus days without sleep, and some degree of paranoia is bound to result.
*She is, as she suggested in the Miniseries, an implant in his head and possibly in communication with the Cylons. However, if this is the case, surely the Cylon hunt for the Fleet would continue despite the destruction of the ''Olympic Carrier'' - as the Cylons would be tracing the fleet through Baltar. Given the humans are to all intents and purposes "on the ropes", it seems odd that they would break off the attack when they have such a clear advantage. (The brain scan on Baltar in "[[Home, Part II]]" dismisses the notion that a mechanical implant is in his head, although it may not be medically recognizable or even in his head, but elsewhere.)
*Could Six be a complete download of "Six's" personality, captured at the point of destruction of Baltar's home, and now contained in his head, possibly occupying his subconscious, out of contact with her own kind, but able to fully interact with his thoughts and feelings – even manipulate his thoughts and feelings? This may suggest Baltar [[Gaius Baltar#Speculation: The Real Baltar?|could be a Cylon agent himself]].

Meanwhile, the episode builds on some of the relationships established in the Miniseries: Apollo and Starbuck clearly have a past, at least through Thrace's relationship with Lee's deceased brother, [[Zak Adama|Zak]], one that reaches beyond command hierarchies, exhaustion and tempers. The [[hangar deck]] confrontation is a valuable byplay not so much for what it says, but for the way in which it is communicated - a large element of non-verbal communication passing between Thrace and Lee Adama prior to her taking the [[stims]].

Similarly, Roslin's mistrust of Adama, as expressed at the end of the Miniseries following his admission that "Earth" was a deception on his part, has begun to grow into an edgy respect: she knows full-well that without his leadership, the Fleet would not have survived 5 days of repeated Jumps - and she is prepared to admit it. (Roslin deals with Adama's deception about Earth starting in a multi-episode story arc [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I|starting later in the season and concluding in season 2]].)

Then there is Adama's relationship with his son. From the scene where they discuss responsibility, it is evident that there is a gulf between them still - one that may well be held open in part by their relative positions aboard ''Galactica''. Adama is Lee's father and the commanding officer of ''Galactica''. While both again appear to want to bridge the gap – the difference in rank still prevents them openly discussing things: hence Lee's act of rebuffing his father's attempt to console him following the shooting of the ''Olympic Carrier''. (The tension between the Adamas comes to a head with significant reconciliation in "[[Act of Contrition]]", "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]", "[[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]", and in the concluding first season and opening second season episodes, starting with "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]" through "[[Home, Part II]]".)

Overall the three storylines evident in the episode – escaping the Cylons, Baltar and Six and Helo on Caprica - are cleverly interwoven, with the main storyline; the Baltar / Six relationship in particular intersecting smoothly through the crisis involving the ''Olympic Carrier'', while the Helo subplot is given enough exposure to engage us and deflect attention from the "A" story sufficiently to heighten the drama, without actually interrupting the overall story flow.

Indeed, such is the subtlety of the Helo sub-plot that the questions it raises don't really reveal themselves until a second viewing, and you realize they are related to the central Cylon theme: why does Six ask him if he is alive? He clearly is, and the question is not a reference to either his leg wound or his radiation-induced sickness. Nor is it simply a throwback to her "sister's" first words to the Colonial officer at [[Armistice Station]]. It is something that appears to go to the very center of Cylon reasoning. (Answers to the strange manipulations with Helo are explained in the second season episode, "[[The Farm]]".)

Similarly, while it could be over-sensitivity given the amount of time the Valerii on Caprica was on-screen, but one couldn't help but feel she was perhaps a little too human; too familiar with Helo? It seems odd that she is introduced to Helo through the "killing" of the Six construct. Why resort to the "murder" of one of her own? Was this simply to establish her credibility in the eyes of Helo? Could she not have found another way to make contact with Helo? Contrasted with the comments regarding Boomer's heritage back on ''Galactica'', are the writers attempting to imply something? Could it bee that BOTH the Valerii characters are Cylons that believe themselves to be human? (The Valerii model indeed shows a history of being ''too'' human as season 1 and 2 progress: See the [[Cylon agent]] article for more.)

===Nit-picks===

*Why is Boomer's Raptor launched alongside Apollo's Vipers for what everyone is expecting to be an interdiction exercise against Cylon Raiders?
:* Based on events from the [[Miniseries]] and in later episodes, Raptors are occasionally used to support or augment Viper operations with strengthened [[DRADIS]] and perhaps [[Radiological Alarm|radiological]] detection. Normally, Raptors are not on [[CAP]] with Vipers and are frequently deployed alone or as a group, but the events of "[[33]]" suggest that Commander Adama wanted to ensure extra coverage with the Raptor's stronger [[Computers|avionics]] to ensure extra coverage of Cylon activity.
:* In a [[Resurrection Ship, Part II| later Epsisode]] a Raptor is used for rescuing ejected pilots during combat.
*For the Cylons to track the fleet across many light years two possibilities exist for how that may be performed: 1) The Cylons have developed some sort of FTL communication (this would also explain how they are able to transmit their memories when they die over interstellar distances) or 2) The Olympic Carrier managed to transmit their jump coordinates without being detected before performing their own FTL jump. Logically, Adama should have ordered a jump before the 33 minute window was up to eliminate the second possibility.
**They established that the Fleet was physically straining itself to calculated and make Jumps as fast as every 33 minutes. Anything shorter would probably have been impossible.

*The Corridor Memorial scene, while somewhat heavy-handed to some viewers, succeeded in continuing the writer's allusion to the September 11 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States to the events of the Miniseries through the use of the many memorials, the confusion in finding lost loved ones, and Dualla's amazement at the size of the memorial. (A [[Lest We Forget|picture of a Colonial soldier]] on one of the Colonies during its destruction also plays on the intense feelings of loss and hopelessness felt by many Americans when they saw similar pictures of New York City firefighters at the ruins of the World Trade Center.)

*Similarly, the failure to openly resolve the issue of whether or not 1,345 people remained aboard the ''Olympic Carrier'' after its return weakens the story for some. Indeed, Apollo's flyby of the ship is suggestive that the ship indeed was empty - thus removing our feelings of horror one step further from the drama being played out on screen. Would the scene have been better portrayed with humans looking outward to give a heightened potential of loss? By ''not'' showing the passengers, the writers increase the magnitude of consequence to the Colonials. The ambiguity of the passenger's status also fit with the new Cylon agent ''modus operandi''. Given that it is likely that a Cylon agent had infiltrated the ''Carrier'', leading to its probable capture and transformation into a weapon, the operatives also tend to play psychological games on the Colonials for greater long-term effect than the mere loss of a ship. It is very likely that the Cylons ''knew'' that the missing passengers would make things harder for the Colonials and cause greater strife.

*Another nit-pick comes with the reminder of Tigh's alcoholism. The by-play here didn't entirely fit, and came across as a clumsy reminder that the writers hadn't forgotten about Tigh's condition and would possibly be returning to it in the future (which does happen in season 2, particularly in "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]").

*Some viewers had become curious of the significance to the use of the number "33" in this episode, as well as the use of the number "3" with events in later episodes. As with other science-fiction television such as "Star Trek", writers tend to play inside jokes, sometimes perpetuating this from series to series. Nothing to date has shown that these plays on numbers are anything more than jokes that do not infer additional relevant episode data. See the amusing [[Numerology]] page for more on these number jokes and the "mystery of 33."

== Notes ==

* Continuous jumping badly affects the FTL drives and management systems aboard commercial Colonial vessels, which are not as rugged as the ''Galactica's'' military-issue drives
* The Cylons Jump ability is just as highly-accurate as the Jumps of the Colonials. In 238 times they manage to pounce on the Colonial fleet, arriving with precise momentum and trajectory to be able to close the distance and launch an attack
* According to Socinus, there are 5,251 people in the Fleet from [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Sagittaron|Sagittaron]]
* As of "[[33]]", there are 60 civilian ships in the Fleet, but [[Continuity errors (RDM)|errors in continuity of episode events]], especially from "[[Home, Part I]]", may place this initial information in question
* The head count of Colonial citizens at the end of the episode is 47,273
* This episode won the [[Awards and Honors|2005 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form]]
* [[Zoic]] visual effects artists hid small signs of movement within the ''Olympic Carrier'' in close-up effect shots as something of a morbid joke. Lights in the windows appear to flicker on and off rather rapidly and when slowed down there is some kind of movement visible on the inside of the ship
* In the DVD commentary for this episode, Ron D. Moore states that during the scene when Dualla hands Commander Adama a set of reports that he reads aloud (including fuel shortages, dozens of crewmen breaking down from nervous exhaustion, etc), Edward James Olmos ad-libbed "and ten suicides" in one take. The production team really liked the ad-lib, and thought the way Olmos acted the scene was fantastic. However, there were concerns that the network would think this would make an already ''extremely'' "dark" episode far '''too''' dark and alienate the audience during the premiere, and the line was reluctantly cut.

== Noteworthy Dialogue ==

*''Baltar is having a vision of climbing into bed with Number Six''
:'''Six:''' You know you're not safe.
:'''Baltar:''' No, course not. The Cylons will follow us again, as they have the last two hundred and thirty seven times.
:'''Six:''' You're right, you know. There are limits. Eventually you'll make a mistake.
:'''Baltar:''' And then you'll kill us all. Yes. Yes, I know, but...not for another thirty-three minutes.

*Colonel Tigh: Yes, we're tired. Yes, there is no relief. Yes, the Cylons keep coming after us time after time after time. And yes, we are still expected to do our jobs!

* ''When Lee Adama and Kara Thrace are on ''Galactica's'' flight deck:''
:Lee Adama: Hey, did you see the note from the XO?
:Kara Thrace: I saw it. No way.
:Lee Adama: Kara, everyone else--
:Kara Thrace: I don't fly with stims. They fudge with your reflexes, your reaction time.
:Lee Adama: Come on, Kara, give me a break. Just--
:Kara Thrace: Why are we arguing about this?
:Lee Adama: I have no idea.
:Kara Thrace: Neither do I. You're the [[CAG]], act like one.
:Lee Adama: What does that mean?
:Kara Thrace: It means that you're still acting like everyone's best friend. We're not friends. You're the CAG. "Be careful out there?" Our job isn't to be careful, it's to shoot frakking [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] out of the sky. "Good Hunting" is what you say. And one of your idiot pilots is acting like a child and refusing to take her pills. So she either says "Yes, sir" and obeys a direct order, or you smack her in the mouth and drag her sorry ass to [[sickbay]] and you make her take those pills.
:''(Lee and Kara both start laughing)''
:Lee Adama: Well, I'm glad I'm not working for you.
:Kara Thrace: ''(laughing)'' Damn right you're glad.
:Lee Adama: So do I have to smack you in the mouth, Lieutenant?
:Kara Thrace: No sir, I'll take my pills. ''(takes pills from Lee)'' Perfect.
:Lee Adama: Carry on.
:Kara Thrace: ''(half-heartedly saluting)'' Yes, sir.

* ''When Commander Adama and Colonel Tigh are talking outside the [[CIC]]:''
:Colonel Tigh: ''(grunting)'' Oh...a couple hours rack time does sound awfully sweet right about now...
:Commander Adama: You deserve it.
:Colonel Tigh: You know, the truth is, all this has me feeling...well, more alive than I have in years.
:Commander Adama: You look that way too. It's good to see you without the cup in your hand.
:Colonel Tigh: Ah, don't start.
:Commander Adama: I know there's a whole lot of people on this ship, that wish you weren't feeling as good.
:Colonel Tigh: ''(laughing)'' If the crew doesn't hate the XO, then he's not doing his job. Besides, I've gotta make the old man look good.
:Commander Adama: I always look good.
:Colonel Tigh: Look in the mirror.
:Commander Adama: Seriously...
:Colonel Tigh: Sir?
:Commander Adama: It's one thing to push the crew. It's another thing to break them.

* ''As the [[Olympic Carrier]] heads on a suicide run towards ''Galactica'', Lee Adama, Kara Thrace and Sharon Valerii are flying beside the liner:''
:Boomer: ''(in a Raptor flying beside the ''Olympic Carrier'')'' We have...new orders. We are directed to...destroy the ''Olympic Carrier'', and return back to ''Galactica''.
:Kara Thrace: ''(in a Viper flying beside the carrier)'' It's a civilian ship!
:Crashdown: ''(inside the Raptor)'' Yeah...a civilian ship with nukes.
:(Lee Adama looks out the cockpit window of his Viper at the ship, which seems to be barren)
:Crashdown: I don't see anybody in there. Do you?
:Lee Adama: The Cylons will be here any second. If we're gonna do this, let's just do it. Starbuck, form up with me and we'll make one pass from astern.
:''(Lee and Kara fall back a fair distance from the ship)''
:Kara Thrace: Lee, what if you're wrong? ''(silence)'' Lee, come on. Lee!
:Lee Adama: Okay, fire on my mark.
:Kara Thrace: No [[Frak|frakking]] way, Lee. Lee! Come on!
:Lee Adama: ... ... mark.
:''(Lee and Kara both open fire on the Olympic Carrier, and it explodes in a ball of flames)''

== Official Statements ==

=== {{from_RDM_blog}}: Note on [["Lest We Forget"]] ===

:"It's probably been asked before, but I'm curious as to whom[sic] is in the picture in the Viper Pilot's briefing room, facing away from the camera . . . the one the pilots, including [[William Adama|Commander Adama]], touch when they enter and leave? This is touching, and is a wonderful human element to the story. So who is it?"

:There was a scene cut from [[33|"33"]] where we saw [[Laura Roslin]] being given her copy of the photo along with a card that said it was taken on the roof of the capitol building on Aerilon during the attack. The photo was inspired by the famous shot of the fire-fighters raising the flag at Ground Zero that became iconic. I thought the Colonies would have their own version of this -- a snapshot taken in the moment that becomes a symbol of the day they can never forget and of all they had lost. The photo itself is of a soldier falling to his knees (possibly shot or simply overcome by emotion) as he stands on the rooftop over looking the devastation of his city, while the Colonial flag waves at the edge of frame. The inscription below the photo on Laura's plaque reads, [["Lest We Forget"]] in itself a reference to the inscription on the watch presented to John Wayne's character in "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon."

"Jolly" Anders

2006-07-15T18:18:01Z

Ez-agents:

==Biography==
Lt. '''"Jolly" Anders''' is the third in command of battlestar ''Galactica's'' air group under Capt. [[Jackson Spencer|Jackson "Ripper" Spencer]], ''Galactica's'' [[CAG]].

Anders assumes 2nd in command duties from [[Kara Thrace|Lt. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] after she's thrown into the brig for striking a [[Saul Tigh|higher ranking officer]].

Anders accompanies Spencer and ''Galactica's'' last remaining [[Viper (RDM)|Viper Mark VII]] squadron on their way back to [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]] when ''Galactica'' alerts them to a [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack underway on their home worlds]].

Two [[Raider]]s are encountered by the 20 Vipers. Before Jolly or the rest of the squadron fire a single shot, their [[Computers#Avionics|fighter's computers]] are commanded to shut down by the Raiders, who have [[Command Navigation Program|created a backdoor in their Viper's software]] thanks to a [[Number Six|Cylon agent on Caprica]]. The helpless Vipers begin to drift, out of control. Captain Spencer calls out to Jolly in vain over his dead communications system in hopes of having Anders assume command when Spencer realizes that all of his pilots are drifting as well.

The Raiders easily destroy Anders' Viper and the rest of his squadron ([[Miniseries]]).

Jolly was later remembered in a post-operation toast given by [[Kara Thrace|Kara]] after the death of the ace [[Cylon Raider]], [[Scar (Raider)|Scar]]. ([[Scar]]).

== Notes ==

Anders' call sign, Jolly, was a homage to the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] character, [[Jolly (TOS)|Jolly]]. His surname, "Anders", is [[Samuel Anders|reused by another character]] later in the series.
