&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] deals with the [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]] and the press over [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]]&#039;s removal from the presidency, while [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] [[Centurion]]s prepare to hinder any rescue attempt on [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] by setting up an anti-aircraft battery.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Summary == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Dr. [[Cottle]] arrives on &#039;&#039;[[Galactica]]&#039;&#039; from the &#039;&#039;[[Rising Star (RDM)|Rising Star]]&#039;&#039;, and informs Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] that Commander [[William Adama]] is still bleeding internally, and that he will have to operate to stabilize his condition.&lt;br /&gt;
*The pressures of the day (coming up on two, without sleep) have gotten to Tigh, as he begins drinking while on duty. In his confusion, he questions why [[Lee Adama]] is leading a crew to rescue the survivors from [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]], and acts very rudely to members of the crew.&lt;br /&gt;
*After being informed about their arrival on &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;, Tigh meets the [[Quorum of Twelve]], who demand access to the imprisoned [[Laura Roslin]]. Tigh contends that Commander Adama removed Roslin from power, believing she was a threat to the stability of [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]], and denies accusations by the Quorum members that he will try to initiate martial law upon the Fleet.&lt;br /&gt;
*Meanwhile, Roslin experiences delusions caused by [[Chamalla]] withdrawal while being held in &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;s&#039;&#039; brig, which prompts [[Billy Keikeya]] to ask [[Venner|Corporal Venner]], a devout follower of the [[Pythia|Pythian]] prophecies, to obtain Chamalla extract for Roslin.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ellen Tigh]] visits Roslin in the brig, and believes Roslin is going crazy. She states that Saul Tigh should allow the Quorum members access to the imprisoned President, as it will prove (in her delirium) that she was a threat to the stability of the government.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Quorum members visit Roslin, and, having taken the Chamalla and regained some lucidity, Roslin makes a statement to the members, stating that the military coup has failed, and that she retains the position of President. She tells the members that she is dying from terminal breast cancer, and the Quorum members realize that she is the &amp;quot;dying leader&amp;quot;  who will lead the fleet to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] as stated in prophecy. Realizing he has severely underestimated Roslin, Tigh herds the Quorum members out of the brig.&lt;br /&gt;
*Tigh later appears before the [[Fleet News Service|press]]. Due to the attempted coup against the military, Tigh declares martial law over the Fleet, which throws the press into chaos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On Kobol===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*After holding a funeral for [[Socinus]] and [[Tarn]], the ground crew stranded on Kobol discover that the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] are cannibalizing parts from their own [[Heavy Raider]] to build an anti-aircraft battery.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Crashdown]] deduces that the [[Cylon Centurion]]s won&#039;t look for them, but will instead use the battery to shoot down any aircraft that come looking for the survivors.&lt;br /&gt;
*Despite [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] and [[Gaius Baltar]]&#039;s objections, Crashdown decides to destroy the anti-aircraft battery to ensure their rescue, despite that over half of the group lacks firearms proficiency.&lt;br /&gt;
*In a hallucination, [[Number Six|Six]] tells Baltar that one of the crew will turn against the others, and that it is Baltar&#039;s duty to accept his role as the father of the new race of human-Cylon hybrids.&lt;br /&gt;
*When the crew ready their assault on the battery, they discover that more Cylons have reinforced the security around the battery, which leads Tyrol to believe the makeshift [[DRADIS]] dish that the Cylons are using to guide the missiles will be left unprotected. In spite of this, Crashdown pulls rank and continues with the original plan.&lt;br /&gt;
*During this time, Lee Adama and a compliment of medical personnel and [[Marines]] pilot two Raptors to the planet&#039;s surface.&lt;br /&gt;
*When [[Cally]] objects to being a diversion for the attack, Crashdown pulls a gun on her and threatens to shoot her unless she follows orders. Tyrol pulls his gun on Crashdown, but when it looks like Crashdown will fire, Baltar shoots Crashdown in the back, killing him instantly.&lt;br /&gt;
*The gunshot reveals their position to the Cylons, who chase the group through the forest. [[Seelix]] is shot in the leg, and Tyrol is shot in the arm, but he manages to use a grenade launcher to take out the DRADIS dish. In a &amp;quot;last stand&amp;quot; gesture, angry and reckless, Tyrol stands up and opens fire on the advancing Cylons just as the Raptors in the air use their missiles to destroy the Cylons.&lt;br /&gt;
*As the rescued crew leaves Kobol, Six tells Baltar that he is fulfilling his role in the prophecy, and that she will act as his conscience.&lt;br /&gt;
*Tyrol and Baltar cover for Crashdown&#039;s demise, indicating to [[Lee Adama]] that Crashdown died while fighting the Cylons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
*As of the opening credits, the Fleet population is now 47,862, reflecting a casualty count of 12 during the Cylon boarding action in the previous episode. This seems barely sufficient to include the bodies seen on screen, let alone the number of casualties implied in &amp;quot;[[Valley of Darkness]]&amp;quot;, but perhaps a number of the casualties haven&#039;t had time to expire yet. At the end of the episode, factoring in Crashdown&#039;s death, the total stands at 47,861.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Crashdown]] dies in this episode, shot by Baltar as he threatens to shoot Cally.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Frag&amp;quot; is American military slang for intentionally killing a superior officer of one&#039;s own force in the field; allegedly to save oneself from their incompetence or recklessness. Popularized during Vietnam, when discipline lagged and a few officers got grenades in their bunkers or caught &amp;quot;friendly fire&amp;quot; during a skirmish. The word is derived from &amp;quot;fragmentation grenade&amp;quot; which is shortened to &amp;quot;frag grenade&amp;quot; or just &amp;quot;frag&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Gemenon|Gemenon]] is the most fundamentalist of the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]], interpreting the [[Sacred Scrolls]] very literally. It appears that many Gemenese believe so strongly in the [[Pythia]]n prophecy that they will almost automatically side with President Roslin.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] has revealed to the entire [[Quorum of Twelve]], as well as [[Saul Tigh|Colonel Tigh]], that she is dying of breast cancer. Presumably her illness is now public knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Cally]] only joined the Colonial Fleet as a way to pay her way through dental school.&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first episode without an appearance by [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]].&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the second episode without an appearance by [[Sharon Valerii]], the first being &amp;quot;[[Valley of Darkness]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first episode without scenes on [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]].&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first episode since the Miniseries without an appearance by [[Helo]], even though [[Tahmoh Penikett]] is still in the opening credits.&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first episode in which Tigh calls &#039;&#039;[[Galactica]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;my ship&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*The discussion between Tigh and [[Billy Keikeya]] firmly establishes that Keikeya was &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; arrested.&lt;br /&gt;
*Raptors are capable of carrying missiles. We also saw this in &amp;quot;[[Kobol&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part II]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Seven Vipers are down for repairs in this episode, probably damaged offscreen during the sortie in &amp;quot;[[Scattered]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Cottle]]&#039;s hurried arrival means that this episode must begin very shortly after the end of &amp;quot;[[Valley of Darkness]]&amp;quot;, during which Roslin still seems to be in good health. For her to exhibit the degree of symptoms shown, either [[chamalla]]&#039;s withdrawal effects are highly acute, or her delirium is the result of the extreme progression of her cancer, no longer masked by the anesthetizing properties of the drug.&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[List_of_terms_(RDM)#Military_Jargon|five &#039;graph]] orders given by Crashdown approximately follow the 5 paragraph NATO orders format (which is Situation, Mission, Execution, Service and Support, and Command and Signals).  Also, in giving orders an infantry commander would use an improvised map model as was done by Crashdown.&lt;br /&gt;
*The writers for this episode, Dawn Prestwich and  Nicole Yorkin, used to be writers on [[Katee Sackhoff]]&#039;s old show, &#039;&#039;[[w:The Education of Max Bickford|The Education of Max Bickford]]&#039;&#039;. Ironically, &amp;quot;Fragged&amp;quot; happens to be the first episode of &#039;&#039;Battlestar Galactica&#039;&#039; that Katee Sackhoff does &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; appear in.&lt;br /&gt;
*The fight between Tyrol and the Centurions bears is similar to the climactic battle in the film &#039;&#039;[[Wikipedia: Saving Private Ryan|Saving Private Ryan]]&#039;&#039;:  in the film, Tom Hank&#039;s character Captain Miller desperately tries to defend himself from on oncoming German tank by shooting his pistol sidearm at it, at which point the tank explodes in spectacular fashion; for a moment the stunned Miller thinks he caused this with his pistol, only to look up and realize an Allied plane dropped a bomb on the tank.  In &amp;quot;Fragged&amp;quot;, Chief Tyrol desperately fires at  oncoming Cylon Centurions with just his pistol, they are destroyed in a spectacular explosion, and for a moment Tyrol thinks he caused this before looking up and realizing a Raptor behind him fired missiles at the Centurions. [[Sergio Mimica-Gezzan]], who directed &amp;quot;Fragged&amp;quot;, was actually first assistant director on &#039;&#039;Saving Private Ryan&#039;&#039; under Steven Spielberg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Analysis ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Baltar appears in his virtual home with Six, but dressed in his fatigues and not at all spiffy as in past visions. Is this an indication that Baltar&#039;s mind is becoming more tortured, or is more or less brainwashed by Six than before?&lt;br /&gt;
*The somewhat delusional Roslin complains of a ringing sensation when Ellen Tigh appears. Immediately after she leaves and the hatch closes behind her, Roslin no longer hears the ringing and appears visibly relieved. She exclaims, &amp;quot;Oh my gods...Ellen Tigh.&amp;quot; Could the chamalla extract and the visions she sees be giving Roslin herself a way of detecting Cylons with her own senses, or is it just a coincidental side-effect from the medication?  Given that Roslin has had past visions that have later been logically and correctly identified as factual (to scripture or to current events), this may not be a stretch.&lt;br /&gt;
*Another interpretation to Roslin&#039;s complaint of ringing may be that Roslin may barely realize that Ellen Tigh is in her presence and, in her delusion, thinks she was talking to someone else. In this case, Roslin would have good reason to want to speak with the wife of the acting commanding officer that could set her free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Questions == &lt;br /&gt;
*What does [[Number Six]] mean when she says that people that die on [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] simply die, and that &amp;quot;God&amp;quot; has abandoned Kobol?&lt;br /&gt;
*Will [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]], [[Cally]], or [[Seelix]] ever reveal the truth about Crashdown&#039;s fate?  Or perhaps use the threat of doing so as leverage against Baltar, to force him to perform a favor later?  ([[Resistance (episode)|Answer]])&lt;br /&gt;
*Why is it necessary to cannibalize [[Raptor 305]] for parts? &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039; had four Raptors in good condition earlier that day during &amp;quot;[[Kobol&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part II]]&amp;quot;, and none seem to be deployed during the battle in &amp;quot;[[Scattered]]&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
**Is fielding all six for any extended time period beyond the ship&#039;s ability? Have &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;s&#039;&#039; Raptors been in chronically poor condition?&lt;br /&gt;
*Could [[Ellen Tigh]]&#039;s attempts to manipulate the downfall of President Roslin be an indication that she is really a Cylon sent to spread chaos in the Fleet?&lt;br /&gt;
*Why is the shuttle bearing the Quorum delegates en route from the &#039;&#039;[[Zephyr]]&#039;&#039;, rather than &#039;&#039;[[Cloud Nine]]&#039;&#039;?&lt;br /&gt;
*Who is the one who betrays the others? Cally, for her refusal to carry out orders? Crashdown, for turning his gun on one of his own? Baltar, for killing the group&#039;s leader? Or even Tyrol, for his failure to defend Cally by killing Crashdown before the count of &amp;quot;three&amp;quot;?&lt;br /&gt;
*Baltar appears bloodied and disheveled in his daydream, as he is in reality, instead of nattily well-dressed as he&#039;s always been before. Is he losing his mind?&lt;br /&gt;
*The Cylons know the location of Kobol ([[Kobol&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part I]]), and still have forces in the area ([[Scattered]]). If they had wished to intercept the [[SAR]] party or rescue their forces stranded on the planet, they could have done so easily. Instead they leave a handful of [[Cylon Centurion|Centurions]] to improvise an ineffective missile battery. Why did they not send another basestar to Kobol?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Official Statements ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Interviews ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Richard Hatch]] discusses his role in the episode:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:  Tom Zarek is challenging [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]]’s authority and leadership, and his declaration of Martial Law. The storyline speaks to the huge issue of balancing individual freedom with survival, something those of us in the United States are all familiar with right now. And even though Zarek’s highly competitive with [[Laura Roslin]], he has tremendous respect for her, and in this case it’s civilian vs. military, so I’ll let you guess where he falls in that struggle.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite_web|url=http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com/article.php?Article=1519|title=Hollywood North Report: Richard Hatch Talks Season 2!|date=14 July 2005|accessdate=22 June 2007|last=Falconer|first=Robert|format=|language=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Noteworthy Dialogue ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;In Galactica&#039;s brig:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Laura Roslin:&#039;&#039;&#039; (to the Quorum of Twelve) Thank you all for coming. I have a statement I would like to make. The attempted military coup against the lawful government of the Colonies is illegal, ill-advised, and clearly doomed to failure. I have not resigned the Presidency, and I will fight this action with everything at my command.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Colonel Tigh:&#039;&#039;&#039; She&#039;s crazy. She&#039;s nuts! She thinks she&#039;s a prophet or some such nonsense. Go ahead and ask her, she&#039;ll tell you. Just listen to her! What was it, the...Arrow Of Apollo will open the Tomb of...Artemis, or some such nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Laura Roslin:&#039;&#039;&#039; Everything I have done is consistent and logical. We have found Kobol, we have found the City of the Gods, and when we retrieve the Arrow, we will open the tomb of &#039;&#039;&#039;Athena&#039;&#039;&#039;, and we will find the road to Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;In an announcement to a group of journalists on Galactica:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Colonel Tigh:&#039;&#039;&#039; The events which took place aboard Colonial One are unfortunate. Laura Roslin&#039;s actions in supporting mutiny and sedition among the military could not be tolerated. Therefore, Commander Adama was left with no choice other than to remove her from office. Ms. Roslin is now resting comfortably aboard this ship, where she will remain until such time as the Commander deems otherwise. As it appears obvious that the government cannot function under the current circumstances, I have decided to dissolve the Quorum of Twelve, and as of this moment, I have declared martial law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;In Galactica&#039;s sickbay:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Colonel Tigh:&#039;&#039;&#039; (talking about Commander Adama) Is he going to make it?&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Doctor Cottle:&#039;&#039;&#039; How should I know? I&#039;m not a psychic. Now get the hell out of here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:*This appears to be a subtle in-joke to [[Ronald D. Moore|RDM&#039;s]] ties to &#039;&#039;Star Trek&#039;&#039; and Dr. McCoy&#039;s &amp;quot;I&#039;m a doctor, not a...&amp;quot; quips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Crashdown has ordered his untrained, outnumbered group to make a suicidal attack the Cylon missile battery:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Baltar:&#039;&#039;&#039; He&#039;s crazy.  I&#039;m not trained for this kind of thing.  I&#039;ve never fired a gun in my life!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Seelix:&#039;&#039;&#039; I haven&#039;t fired one since Basic.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Baltar:&#039;&#039;&#039; (to Cally) You?&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Cally:&#039;&#039;&#039; I just joined to pay for dental school. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;After Baltar shoots Crashdown on Kobol:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Number Six:&#039;&#039;&#039; (to Baltar) Now you&#039;re a man.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;In a desperate last stand against Cylons&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Chief Tyrol:&#039;&#039;&#039; (hiding from Cylon gunfire) Stay there! Stay there!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Gaius Baltar:&#039;&#039;&#039; (shooting at Cylons) Chief! Chief!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Chief Tyrol:&#039;&#039;&#039; (pulls a gun out of his holster and starts firing wildly at the advancing Cylon forces) Aah! Aah! Aaaaaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! (Cylons are all blown into pieces, and Tyrol looks at his gun in amazement, then behind him at a hovering Raptor)&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Lee Adama:&#039;&#039;&#039; (aboard the Raptor) You&#039;re welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;While waiting to assault the Cylon forces on Kobol&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Frak]] orders, frak court-marshal! Our people are up there and we have to save them! We don&#039;t have any time! Move!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Cally:&#039;&#039;&#039; I can&#039;t do it!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; Cally, move!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Cally:&#039;&#039;&#039; No!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; (pulls a gun on Cally)&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Gaius Baltar:&#039;&#039;&#039; Chief!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Chief Tyrol:&#039;&#039;&#039; Whoa, whoa, whoa! Put it down!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; You&#039;re going, Cally. You&#039;re going out there or I&#039;m going to blow your brains out, right here, right now.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Chief Tyrol:&#039;&#039;&#039; Hey LT, easy, easy-&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; I&#039;m going to count to three.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Seelix:&#039;&#039;&#039; This is crazy! This is crazy!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; One...&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Chief Tyrol:&#039;&#039;&#039; (pulls gun on Crashdown) Put it down, right now. Listen to me! Drop your weapon!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; Two...three. (a gunshot is fired, and Crashdown falls dead against a tree, revealing that he has been shot by Baltar)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;In a hallway on Galactica:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] deals with the [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]] and the press over [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]]&#039;s removal from the presidency, while [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] [[Centurion]]s prepare to hinder any rescue attempt on [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] by setting up an anti-aircraft battery.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Summary == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Dr. [[Cottle]] arrives on &#039;&#039;[[Galactica]]&#039;&#039; from the &#039;&#039;[[Rising Star (RDM)|Rising Star]]&#039;&#039;, and informs Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] that Commander [[William Adama]] is still bleeding internally, and that he will have to operate to stabilize his condition.&lt;br /&gt;
*The pressures of the day (coming up on two, without sleep) have gotten to Tigh, as he begins drinking while on duty. In his confusion, he questions why [[Lee Adama]] is leading a crew to rescue the survivors from [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]], and acts very rudely to members of the crew.&lt;br /&gt;
*After being informed about their arrival on &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;, Tigh meets the [[Quorum of Twelve]], who demand access to the imprisoned [[Laura Roslin]]. Tigh contends that Commander Adama removed Roslin from power, believing she was a threat to the stability of [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]], and denies accusations by the Quorum members that he will try to initiate martial law upon the Fleet.&lt;br /&gt;
*Meanwhile, Roslin experiences delusions caused by [[Chamalla]] withdrawal while being held in &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;s&#039;&#039; brig, which prompts [[Billy Keikeya]] to ask [[Venner|Corporal Venner]], a devout follower of the [[Pythia|Pythian]] prophecies, to obtain Chamalla extract for Roslin.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ellen Tigh]] visits Roslin in the brig, and believes Roslin is going crazy. She states that Saul Tigh should allow the Quorum members access to the imprisoned President, as it will prove (in her delirium) that she was a threat to the stability of the government.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Quorum members visit Roslin, and, having taken the Chamalla and regained some lucidity, Roslin makes a statement to the members, stating that the military coup has failed, and that she retains the position of President. She tells the members that she is dying from terminal breast cancer, and the Quorum members realize that she is the &amp;quot;dying leader&amp;quot;  who will lead the fleet to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] as stated in prophecy. Realizing he has severely underestimated Roslin, Tigh herds the Quorum members out of the brig.&lt;br /&gt;
*Tigh later appears before the [[Fleet News Service|press]]. Due to the attempted coup against the military, Tigh declares martial law over the Fleet, which throws the press into chaos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On Kobol===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*After holding a funeral for [[Socinus]] and [[Tarn]], the ground crew stranded on Kobol discover that the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] are cannibalizing parts from their own [[Heavy Raider]] to build an anti-aircraft battery.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Crashdown]] deduces that the [[Cylon Centurion]]s won&#039;t look for them, but will instead use the battery to shoot down any aircraft that come looking for the survivors.&lt;br /&gt;
*Despite [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] and [[Gaius Baltar]]&#039;s objections, Crashdown decides to destroy the anti-aircraft battery to ensure their rescue, despite that over half of the group lacks firearms proficiency.&lt;br /&gt;
*In a hallucination, [[Number Six|Six]] tells Baltar that one of the crew will turn against the others, and that it is Baltar&#039;s duty to accept his role as the father of the new race of human-Cylon hybrids.&lt;br /&gt;
*When the crew ready their assault on the battery, they discover that more Cylons have reinforced the security around the battery, which leads Tyrol to believe the makeshift [[DRADIS]] dish that the Cylons are using to guide the missiles will be left unprotected. In spite of this, Crashdown pulls rank and continues with the original plan.&lt;br /&gt;
*During this time, Lee Adama and a compliment of medical personnel and [[Marines]] pilot two Raptors to the planet&#039;s surface.&lt;br /&gt;
*When [[Cally]] objects to being a diversion for the attack, Crashdown pulls a gun on her and threatens to shoot her unless she follows orders. Tyrol pulls his gun on Crashdown, but when it looks like Crashdown will fire, Baltar shoots Crashdown in the back, killing him instantly.&lt;br /&gt;
*The gunshot reveals their position to the Cylons, who chase the group through the forest. [[Seelix]] is shot in the leg, and Tyrol is shot in the arm, but he manages to use a grenade launcher to take out the DRADIS dish. In a &amp;quot;last stand&amp;quot; gesture, angry and reckless, Tyrol stands up and opens fire on the advancing Cylons just as the Raptors in the air use their missiles to destroy the Cylons.&lt;br /&gt;
*As the rescued crew leaves Kobol, Six tells Baltar that he is fulfilling his role in the prophecy, and that she will act as his conscience.&lt;br /&gt;
*Tyrol and Baltar cover for Crashdown&#039;s demise, indicating to [[Lee Adama]] that Crashdown died while fighting the Cylons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
*As of the opening credits, the Fleet population is now 47,862, reflecting a casualty count of 12 during the Cylon boarding action in the previous episode. This seems barely sufficient to include the bodies seen on screen, let alone the number of casualties implied in &amp;quot;[[Valley of Darkness]]&amp;quot;, but perhaps a number of the casualties haven&#039;t had time to expire yet. At the end of the episode, factoring in Crashdown&#039;s death, the total stands at 47,861.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Crashdown]] dies in this episode, shot by Baltar as he threatens to shoot Cally.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Frag&amp;quot; is American military slang for intentionally killing a superior officer of one&#039;s own force in the field; allegedly to save oneself from their incompetence or recklessness. Popularized during Vietnam, when discipline lagged and a few officers got grenades in their bunkers or caught &amp;quot;friendly fire&amp;quot; during a skirmish. The word is derived from &amp;quot;fragmentation grenade&amp;quot; which is shortened to &amp;quot;frag grenade&amp;quot; or just &amp;quot;frag&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Gemenon|Gemenon]] is the most fundamentalist of the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]], interpreting the [[Sacred Scrolls]] very literally. It appears that many Gemenese believe so strongly in the [[Pythia]]n prophecy that they will almost automatically side with President Roslin.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] has revealed to the entire [[Quorum of Twelve]], as well as [[Saul Tigh|Colonel Tigh]], that she is dying of breast cancer. Presumably her illness is now public knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Cally]] only joined the Colonial Fleet as a way to pay her way through dental school.&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first episode without an appearance by [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]].&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the second episode without an appearance by [[Sharon Valerii]], the first being &amp;quot;[[Valley of Darkness]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first episode without scenes on [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]].&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first episode since the Miniseries without an appearance by [[Helo]], even though [[Tahmoh Penikett]] is still in the opening credits.&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first episode in which Tigh calls &#039;&#039;[[Galactica]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;my ship&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*The discussion between Tigh and [[Billy Keikeya]] firmly establishes that Keikeya was &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; arrested.&lt;br /&gt;
*Raptors are capable of carrying missiles. We also saw this in &amp;quot;[[Kobol&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part II]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Seven Vipers are down for repairs in this episode, probably damaged offscreen during the sortie in &amp;quot;[[Scattered]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Cottle]]&#039;s hurried arrival means that this episode must begin very shortly after the end of &amp;quot;[[Valley of Darkness]]&amp;quot;, during which Roslin still seems to be in good health. For her to exhibit the degree of symptoms shown, either [[chamalla]]&#039;s withdrawal effects are highly acute, or her delirium is the result of the extreme progression of her cancer, no longer masked by the anesthetizing properties of the drug.&lt;br /&gt;
*The orders given by Crashdown approximately follow the 5 paragraph NATO format, which is Situation, Mission, Execution, Service and Support, and Command and Signals.  Also, in giving orders an infantry commander would use an improvised map model as was done by Crashdown.&lt;br /&gt;
*The writers for this episode, Dawn Prestwich and  Nicole Yorkin, used to be writers on [[Katee Sackhoff]]&#039;s old show, &#039;&#039;[[w:The Education of Max Bickford|The Education of Max Bickford]]&#039;&#039;. Ironically, &amp;quot;Fragged&amp;quot; happens to be the first episode of &#039;&#039;Battlestar Galactica&#039;&#039; that Katee Sackhoff does &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; appear in.&lt;br /&gt;
*The fight between Tyrol and the Centurions bears is similar to the climactic battle in the film &#039;&#039;[[Wikipedia: Saving Private Ryan|Saving Private Ryan]]&#039;&#039;:  in the film, Tom Hank&#039;s character Captain Miller desperately tries to defend himself from on oncoming German tank by shooting his pistol sidearm at it, at which point the tank explodes in spectacular fashion; for a moment the stunned Miller thinks he caused this with his pistol, only to look up and realize an Allied plane dropped a bomb on the tank.  In &amp;quot;Fragged&amp;quot;, Chief Tyrol desperately fires at  oncoming Cylon Centurions with just his pistol, they are destroyed in a spectacular explosion, and for a moment Tyrol thinks he caused this before looking up and realizing a Raptor behind him fired missiles at the Centurions. [[Sergio Mimica-Gezzan]], who directed &amp;quot;Fragged&amp;quot;, was actually first assistant director on &#039;&#039;Saving Private Ryan&#039;&#039; under Steven Spielberg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Analysis ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Baltar appears in his virtual home with Six, but dressed in his fatigues and not at all spiffy as in past visions. Is this an indication that Baltar&#039;s mind is becoming more tortured, or is more or less brainwashed by Six than before?&lt;br /&gt;
*The somewhat delusional Roslin complains of a ringing sensation when Ellen Tigh appears. Immediately after she leaves and the hatch closes behind her, Roslin no longer hears the ringing and appears visibly relieved. She exclaims, &amp;quot;Oh my gods...Ellen Tigh.&amp;quot; Could the chamalla extract and the visions she sees be giving Roslin herself a way of detecting Cylons with her own senses, or is it just a coincidental side-effect from the medication?  Given that Roslin has had past visions that have later been logically and correctly identified as factual (to scripture or to current events), this may not be a stretch.&lt;br /&gt;
*Another interpretation to Roslin&#039;s complaint of ringing may be that Roslin may barely realize that Ellen Tigh is in her presence and, in her delusion, thinks she was talking to someone else. In this case, Roslin would have good reason to want to speak with the wife of the acting commanding officer that could set her free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Questions == &lt;br /&gt;
*What does [[Number Six]] mean when she says that people that die on [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] simply die, and that &amp;quot;God&amp;quot; has abandoned Kobol?&lt;br /&gt;
*Will [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]], [[Cally]], or [[Seelix]] ever reveal the truth about Crashdown&#039;s fate?  Or perhaps use the threat of doing so as leverage against Baltar, to force him to perform a favor later?  ([[Resistance (episode)|Answer]])&lt;br /&gt;
*Why is it necessary to cannibalize [[Raptor 305]] for parts? &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039; had four Raptors in good condition earlier that day during &amp;quot;[[Kobol&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part II]]&amp;quot;, and none seem to be deployed during the battle in &amp;quot;[[Scattered]]&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
**Is fielding all six for any extended time period beyond the ship&#039;s ability? Have &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;s&#039;&#039; Raptors been in chronically poor condition?&lt;br /&gt;
*Could [[Ellen Tigh]]&#039;s attempts to manipulate the downfall of President Roslin be an indication that she is really a Cylon sent to spread chaos in the Fleet?&lt;br /&gt;
*Why is the shuttle bearing the Quorum delegates en route from the &#039;&#039;[[Zephyr]]&#039;&#039;, rather than &#039;&#039;[[Cloud Nine]]&#039;&#039;?&lt;br /&gt;
*Who is the one who betrays the others? Cally, for her refusal to carry out orders? Crashdown, for turning his gun on one of his own? Baltar, for killing the group&#039;s leader? Or even Tyrol, for his failure to defend Cally by killing Crashdown before the count of &amp;quot;three&amp;quot;?&lt;br /&gt;
*Baltar appears bloodied and disheveled in his daydream, as he is in reality, instead of nattily well-dressed as he&#039;s always been before. Is he losing his mind?&lt;br /&gt;
*The Cylons know the location of Kobol ([[Kobol&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part I]]), and still have forces in the area ([[Scattered]]). If they had wished to intercept the [[SAR]] party or rescue their forces stranded on the planet, they could have done so easily. Instead they leave a handful of [[Cylon Centurion|Centurions]] to improvise an ineffective missile battery. Why did they not send another basestar to Kobol?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Official Statements ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Interviews ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Richard Hatch]] discusses his role in the episode:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:  Tom Zarek is challenging [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]]’s authority and leadership, and his declaration of Martial Law. The storyline speaks to the huge issue of balancing individual freedom with survival, something those of us in the United States are all familiar with right now. And even though Zarek’s highly competitive with [[Laura Roslin]], he has tremendous respect for her, and in this case it’s civilian vs. military, so I’ll let you guess where he falls in that struggle.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite_web|url=http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com/article.php?Article=1519|title=Hollywood North Report: Richard Hatch Talks Season 2!|date=14 July 2005|accessdate=22 June 2007|last=Falconer|first=Robert|format=|language=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Noteworthy Dialogue ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;In Galactica&#039;s brig:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Laura Roslin:&#039;&#039;&#039; (to the Quorum of Twelve) Thank you all for coming. I have a statement I would like to make. The attempted military coup against the lawful government of the Colonies is illegal, ill-advised, and clearly doomed to failure. I have not resigned the Presidency, and I will fight this action with everything at my command.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Colonel Tigh:&#039;&#039;&#039; She&#039;s crazy. She&#039;s nuts! She thinks she&#039;s a prophet or some such nonsense. Go ahead and ask her, she&#039;ll tell you. Just listen to her! What was it, the...Arrow Of Apollo will open the Tomb of...Artemis, or some such nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Laura Roslin:&#039;&#039;&#039; Everything I have done is consistent and logical. We have found Kobol, we have found the City of the Gods, and when we retrieve the Arrow, we will open the tomb of &#039;&#039;&#039;Athena&#039;&#039;&#039;, and we will find the road to Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;In an announcement to a group of journalists on Galactica:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Colonel Tigh:&#039;&#039;&#039; The events which took place aboard Colonial One are unfortunate. Laura Roslin&#039;s actions in supporting mutiny and sedition among the military could not be tolerated. Therefore, Commander Adama was left with no choice other than to remove her from office. Ms. Roslin is now resting comfortably aboard this ship, where she will remain until such time as the Commander deems otherwise. As it appears obvious that the government cannot function under the current circumstances, I have decided to dissolve the Quorum of Twelve, and as of this moment, I have declared martial law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;In Galactica&#039;s sickbay:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Colonel Tigh:&#039;&#039;&#039; (talking about Commander Adama) Is he going to make it?&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Doctor Cottle:&#039;&#039;&#039; How should I know? I&#039;m not a psychic. Now get the hell out of here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:*This appears to be a subtle in-joke to [[Ronald D. Moore|RDM&#039;s]] ties to &#039;&#039;Star Trek&#039;&#039; and Dr. McCoy&#039;s &amp;quot;I&#039;m a doctor, not a...&amp;quot; quips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Crashdown has ordered his untrained, outnumbered group to make a suicidal attack the Cylon missile battery:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Baltar:&#039;&#039;&#039; He&#039;s crazy.  I&#039;m not trained for this kind of thing.  I&#039;ve never fired a gun in my life!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Seelix:&#039;&#039;&#039; I haven&#039;t fired one since Basic.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Baltar:&#039;&#039;&#039; (to Cally) You?&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Cally:&#039;&#039;&#039; I just joined to pay for dental school. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;After Baltar shoots Crashdown on Kobol:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Number Six:&#039;&#039;&#039; (to Baltar) Now you&#039;re a man.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;In a desperate last stand against Cylons&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Chief Tyrol:&#039;&#039;&#039; (hiding from Cylon gunfire) Stay there! Stay there!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Gaius Baltar:&#039;&#039;&#039; (shooting at Cylons) Chief! Chief!&lt;br /&gt;

(Cylons are all blown into pieces, and Tyrol looks at his gun in amazement, then behind him at a hovering Raptor)&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Lee Adama:&#039;&#039;&#039; (aboard the Raptor) You&#039;re welcome.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;While waiting to assault the Cylon forces on Kobol&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Frak]] orders, frak court-marshal! Our people are up there and we have to save them! We don&#039;t have any time! Move!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Cally:&#039;&#039;&#039; I can&#039;t do it!&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;&#039;Cally:&#039;&#039;&#039; No!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; (pulls a gun on Cally)&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Gaius Baltar:&#039;&#039;&#039; Chief!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Chief Tyrol:&#039;&#039;&#039; Whoa, whoa, whoa! Put it down!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; You&#039;re going, Cally. You&#039;re going out there or I&#039;m going to blow your brains out, right here, right now.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Chief Tyrol:&#039;&#039;&#039; Hey LT, easy, easy-&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; I&#039;m going to count to three.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Seelix:&#039;&#039;&#039; This is crazy! This is crazy!&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;&#039;Chief Tyrol:&#039;&#039;&#039; (pulls gun on Crashdown) Put it down, right now. Listen to me! Drop your weapon!&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Crashdown:&#039;&#039;&#039; Two...three. (a gunshot is fired, and Crashdown falls dead against a tree, revealing that he has been shot by Baltar)&lt;br /&gt;

== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;During a seemingly hopeless [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula|battle]], [[Kara Thrace]] appears in a pristine [[Viper Mark II|Viper]], claiming that she has been to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] and can lead the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] there -- but the terminal [[Laura Roslin]] believes otherwise. Meanwhile, four of the so-called [[Final Five]] are forced to tackle the repercussions of their newfound nature, while [[Gaius Baltar]] discovers he has a [[Cult of Baltar|commune of nubile female cultists]] who believe him to be an agent of the [[God (RDM)|&amp;quot;one true God&amp;quot;]]. &#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Summary == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Teaser ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Lee Adama]] and [[Kara Thrace]] are flying side-by-side, staring at each other across space. Lee is in a state of disbelief. Thrace rebukes his claim that her [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] [[Maelstrom#Act 4|exploded]]. She says that she&#039;s found Earth, describes some of its attributes, as the [[CIC]] crew listens to the chatter.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[William Adama]], who is clearly emotional, demands that the ship be identified. [[Felix Gaeta]] does so, replying that the ship&#039;s recognition codes match, while [[Anastasia Dualla]] tries to get Lee on the comline. [[Karl Agathon]] notes that the woman&#039;s voice sounds like Thrace&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Laura Roslin]], recovered from her [[Crossroads, Part II|earlier headache]], notes that it is likely a [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] trick. &lt;br /&gt;
* Adama orders that the verification be duplicated, however Gaeta notes that more than 200 Cylon [[Raider (RDM)|Raider]]s are inbound. Adama orders that the Vipers and Raptor pickets engage the Cylons.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hearing the order, Thrace tells Lee not to lose her. &amp;quot;Not a chance,&amp;quot; he replies, as both begin engaging the first wave of Raiders. Thrace kills a Raider, its blood covering her ship.&lt;br /&gt;
* Roslin reiterates her belief that Thrace&#039;s voice is a &amp;quot;Cylon trick&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
* Gaeta reports that the Vipers have stopped the main Cylon thrust, but the reserves have broken through the line, and are headed to the Fleet. &lt;br /&gt;
* Adama tells [[Saul Tigh]] that he wants everything launched. &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:403 - Tigh scream, you scream, we all scream.jpg|thumb|[[Saul Tigh]] experiences a waking nightmare where he believes he shot [[William Adama]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Tigh hesitates, then experiences a vision where he pulls out a gun and shoots Adama through his right eye. However, he is wakened by his waking-state &amp;quot;nightmare&amp;quot;, as Adama continues to bark orders at him. He wants everyone who has &amp;quot;ever flown a stick&amp;quot; up in the air. Unsure of what exactly happened, Tigh relays the order. &lt;br /&gt;
* [[Galen Tyrol]] is barking out orders on the [[hangar deck]]. Ensigns [[Diana Seelix]] and [[Samuel Anders]] arrive. En route to their ships, as Seelix goes off, Anders begins to vocally question whether or not he&#039;ll turn against &amp;quot;his own&amp;quot; after he launches. Tyrol tells him to &amp;quot;shut the [[frak]] up&amp;quot; and follow Tigh&#039;s lead: be the man he wants to be. &lt;br /&gt;
* During the pep-talk, [[Sharon Agathon]] approaches them, overhearing a snippet of the conversation. She asks who else would he be and then gives him advice to retain his cool out in the fray. She walks off to her Raptor; Anders is relieved that she didn&#039;t ferret him out, and hopes the other Cylons won&#039;t be able to either. &lt;br /&gt;
* Tyrol tells him to not give them the chance to find out, and tells Anders to get to his ship.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Gaius Baltar]] and his [[Cult of Baltar|female admirers]], lead by a woman named [[Jeanne]], escort Baltar through the ship, heading to a previously-abandoned compartment on the ship. En route, they pass by [[Charlie Connor]], who catches a glimpse of Baltar, even though Baltar is covered in a shawl. &lt;br /&gt;
* During the battle, a winged Raider sprawls out of control and impacts into the &#039;&#039;[[Pyxis]]&#039;&#039;, hitting volatile area that results in the ship&#039;s complete destruction. &lt;br /&gt;
* Gaeta reports this and Roslin is shocked, saying that they&#039;ve lost 600 souls, including Captain [[Tarney]]. Roslin then inquires as to how the Cylons were able to find them. Tigh and [[Tory Foster]] exchange glances [[Crossroads, Part II#Act 4|again]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Gaeta reports that the [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]]s have launched 50 plus missiles. Half are headed towards the Fleet, the other half are headed towards &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;. Adama believes that &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039; can take the beating, but the Fleet would be wiped out by such an attack; he orders that all the missiles headed towards the Fleet be shot down. &lt;br /&gt;
* Anders launches and, still fearing that he may have Cylon programming yet to be turned on, begins summarizing his life. Seelix replies that he&#039;s jamming up the wireless, since he has the transmit button pressed down. Anders release the button and chastises himself. &lt;br /&gt;
* Cylon warheads begin striking &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;. Two missiles headed toward the Fleet strike the &#039;&#039;[[Space Park]]&#039;&#039;, but do not destroy her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Seelix manages to destroy a warhead that would have struck &#039;&#039;[[Colonial One]]&#039;&#039;. However, a Raider comes up from behind her and begins to pursue her. Anders comes up from behind the Raider, and attempts to take the Raider out, but his weapons have apparently seized. The Raider disengages from Seelix and looks at Anders using its red-eye. During the event, Anders&#039; iris in his right eye glows red and the Cylon Raider disengages.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Raiders flock back to the baseships, which spin their [[FTL]] drives, much to the confusion of the Colonials who know that the Cylons had them dead to rights. Adama orders that they take advantage of the opportunity they&#039;ve been presented, ordering the fighters to cover their rear while the Fleet begins jump prep. &lt;br /&gt;
* Tigh asks why the Cylons withdrew, Foster replies that &amp;quot;maybe something&#039;s changed&amp;quot;, referring to their newfound knowledge of being Cylons. Roslin asks what the &amp;quot;change&amp;quot; may be, but Tigh feigns ignorance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Act 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After the Fleet makes its first jump away from the Ionian Nebula, Baltar is being lead to the women&#039;s enclave. [[Jeanne]] reassures him that he&#039;ll be safe as they approach a compartment previously dedicated to dry stowage. &lt;br /&gt;
* Connor and another male associate have followed the group to the compartment, but do not enter. &lt;br /&gt;
* In the compartment, Baltar enters a commune consisting mostly of young, nubile women and men, all primarily Caucasian. They look subserviently downward, unwilling to meet his gaze, until he comes across a shrine with glorified Christmas-lights. He merely looks around and mutters, &amp;quot;Right&amp;quot;, in a state of semi-disbelief.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tyrol looks over Thrace&#039;s blood-covered, yet otherwise pristine Mark II Viper. As Thrace opens the cockipt, she tells Tyrol to develop her gun camera footage, claiming to have some great shots to show everyone.  She asks for her post-flight checklist. Tyrol replies that she has none.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pilots who&#039;ve landed start to approach Thrace and her Viper. Lee, who just landed, runs up and hugs her. &lt;br /&gt;
* From the walkway above the hangar bay, Tigh asks Adama if he believes in miracles. Adama replies in the negative.&lt;br /&gt;
* Anders follows suit, saying that he told everyone that she was too &amp;quot;frakking mean to kill&amp;quot;. She notes Anders&#039; apparel, learning that Anders has been trained as a Viper pilot, which she finds unbelievable.&lt;br /&gt;
* Thrace tells Adama that she found Earth. Adama replies with Marines, who are ordered to escort her to sickbay where [[Cottle]] will give her a complete examination. &lt;br /&gt;
* Thrace reveals that, from her point of view, she&#039;s been off the ship for six hours. Anders replies that it has been over two months since she died, which Lee confirms.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the commune, Jeanne tells Baltar that she&#039;s going to get her son, [[Derrick]], asking him not to go anywhere on the ship, since it isn&#039;t safe for him. Jeanne tells him that [[Tracey Anne]] will be with him to give him whatever he needs. &lt;br /&gt;
* Baltar claims that he&#039;s praying for Derrick, who is presently in &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;s&#039;&#039; sickbay. When he asks about travel arrangements, Jeanne notes that security is too tight to smuggle him off &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;. Her fellow cultist, [[Paulla Schaffer]], adds that none of the other ships would have him. &lt;br /&gt;
* As they leave, [[Virtual Six]] in a red blouse appears to him. She asks why he is glum, given that he faced execution, yet was granted life. He replies that he&#039;s doomed to be stuck in a looney bin with a bunch of cultists. Virtual Six assures him that she hasn&#039;t brought this far for nothing, then he begins to ask for a ray of hope for the future... &lt;br /&gt;
* Tracey Anne sees Baltar on his knees, appearing to pray. She finds it beautiful, but a hollow ritual. She tells him that when she prays, she feels empty. Prompted by Six, Baltar claims that the Gods they worship are false and that there is only one true God, all the while she&#039;s copping a feel on him. As he explains how the gods were propagated by the &amp;quot;ruling elite&amp;quot; to suppress their knowledge of &amp;quot;the truth&amp;quot;, she unbuttons his shirt. &lt;br /&gt;
* As he reveals that &amp;quot;there&#039;s only one God&amp;quot;, Tracey Anne exposes her breasts to him. Assured that they are alone and the door is locked, she moves his hands to cup her breasts, where Tracey Anne asks him if he feels God&#039;s presence. &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:403 - God&#039;s presence.jpg|thumb|Baltar &amp;quot;feels&amp;quot; God&#039;s presence.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;You know what,&amp;quot; he replies glibly, &amp;quot;I think I do.&amp;quot; Then they fornicate in the presence of the shrine.&lt;br /&gt;
* In Adama&#039;s quarters, Thrace is told that all her tests check out, and it appears she is human. She accuses them of thinking that she&#039;s a Cylon. &lt;br /&gt;
* Roslin, who is present with Tory Foster and Lee Adama, presses her for her story of how she found Earth. &lt;br /&gt;
* Thrace claims that she followed a [[Heavy Raider]] into the storm, taking some fire, then blacked out. When she came to, she was orbiting Earth, which she was able to identify from the descriptions in the [[Book of Pythia]]. Showing the pictures that were developed from her gun camera, she claims that the pictures are of Earth and her moon. Further, she claims to have been able to match the star configurations from what was seen in the [[Tomb of Athena]]. &lt;br /&gt;
* Thrace claims that she doesn&#039;t know how she was able to find them at the Ionian Nebula. Roslin continues to press her for information. She replies that she turned the ship to a reciprocal heading, and later blacked out. She adds that she remembers a giant gas planet with rings.  She also claims to have seen a comet.&lt;br /&gt;
* Roslin moves to questioning the time discrepancy. Thrace remains adamant that she found Earth, took the pictures, and was able to return to the Fleet.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the hangar bay, Tyrol shows Adama (who is accompanied by Roslin, Foster, Lee, and Tigh) the Viper Thrace returned in. He notes that, after it was cleaned up, the Viper is pristine, as if it came off the &amp;quot;showroom floor&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
* Tyrol confirms that while the tail numbers match the one she flew out on, the ship is not the same one he&#039;s been repairing for years. Further, the navigational computer has no entries in it. &lt;br /&gt;
* Roslin tells Adama to put Thrace in the brig. Lee objects, asking about Cottle&#039;s test. Tigh grumpily replies that Cottle&#039;s test doesn&#039;t mean a thing, since Baltar&#039;s [[Cylon detector]] is a crock that failed to identify [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Despite Tigh mentioning the Cylon detector, dialogue only states that Doctor Cottle compared Thrace&#039;s DNA with the one on record in her files (the same procedure he used with [[Bulldog]] in &amp;quot;[[Hero]]&amp;quot;). Baltar&#039;s Cylon detector, however, uses a more complex molecular analysis to generate a result.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Adama ruefully notes that they&#039;re back at square one. Any one of them can be a Cylon, and they wouldn&#039;t know it until they had a bullet in their heads, or lead the Fleet into an ambush. Roslin notes that something stopped the Cylons from destroying the Fleet, and she believes that Thrace is somehow responsible for it. Further, Roslin believes that Thrace was returned to them to pull them off their course.&lt;br /&gt;
* Lee notes that they don&#039;t have a course, since they weren&#039;t able to stay at the nebula. He posits that Thrace may very well be the &amp;quot;signpost&amp;quot; they&#039;ve been looking for, but Roslin will have none of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Act 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Baltar and Tracey Anne, both unclothed, are awakened by the presence of Jeanne and the cultists. Jeanne brings Derrick, who is ill with viral encephalitis and cannot be treated with medicines, and asks Baltar to pray for his recovery. Baltar says that Derrick has to be strong, and they have to be strong for him. Jeanne says that she didn&#039;t want Derrick to die in the [[sickbay]]. &lt;br /&gt;
* Baltar reiterates his claim that he prays for Derrick. Jeanne claims to know this, but adds that she believes that the &amp;quot;one true God&amp;quot; doesn&#039;t want Derrick to live. A wide-eyed, nutty Baltar cannot answer this question.  &lt;br /&gt;
* In Tigh&#039;s quarters, the &amp;quot;[[frakr:Fantastic Four|Final Four]]&amp;quot; are assembled. Tigh inquires about the &amp;quot;[[The Music|frakking music]]&amp;quot;, and everyone replies that they no longer hear it. Tyrol posits that it may have stopped upon discovering their true natures, but they still don&#039;t know for certain what it was. &lt;br /&gt;
* Anders recites his experience with the Cylon Raider scanning him. Even after Anders recalls the tale, they don&#039;t know what to make of the Cylons&#039; sudden retreat, or Ander&#039;s inability to fire on the Raider. Tigh remains adamant that [[Racetrack]] was right: Anders had made a &amp;quot;dumb nugget mistake&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
* They broach the topic of being programmed to sabotage the Fleet, like [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]]. Tigh vociferously contends that Boomer did not know who she was; they do, and they silently agree to kill themselves before they do anything against the humans.&lt;br /&gt;
* Roslin vists [[Caprica Six]] in the brig. Roslin discusses the shared dream they experienced in the [[Opera House]], where Caprica saw more than she did. Roslin asks Caprica to help her with information regarding the Cylons known as the Final Five, since she wants to know if Kara Thrace is one of them. Caprica replies that they are not programmed to think of the Five, but notes that they are close since she can feel them. &lt;br /&gt;
* In the CIC, Thrace is reviewing star charts with Gaeta, who is clearly aggravated. Agathon notices Gaeta&#039;s behavior and relieves him. Thrace notes that no one believes her, since everyone seems to think she&#039;s a Cylon. In a conversation that begins to get heated, Adama overhears Thrace&#039;s reasoning that finding the star systems on their charts won&#039;t work. &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Thrace&#039;s headache.jpg|thumb|Thrace experiences a headache...]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Thrace tells them that she can find the way to Earth by feeling it. She says that the more jumps they do away from their starting point (the Ionian Nebula), the harder it is for her to tell the road to Earth, given that they are going the wrong way.&lt;br /&gt;
* Adama dismisses Agathon. Adama reveals that Roslin&#039;s adamant that they continue the course laid before them by the [[Eye of Jupiter]]. As they execute another FTL jump, Thrace experiences a headache and says they&#039;re going the wrong way, and fears she may lose the feeling completely. She asks for them to go back to the nebula and while Adama would like to believe her, he can&#039;t go to Roslin and ask her to dismiss the writings of Pythia and the information derived from the supernova. &lt;br /&gt;
* Adama reveals that he&#039;s just &amp;quot;left her ship&amp;quot;, noting that it is pristine, and asks her to explain that fact. She cannot, but swears to the Gods that she &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; Kara Thrace and can trust her on her intuition. &lt;br /&gt;
* Adama painfully replies that he can&#039;t afford to trust her, and she leaves with her marine escort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Act 3 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Lee and William Adama are watching Lee&#039;s gun camera footage of Thrace&#039;s death near the mandala. The elder Adama asks whether he should believe his heart or his eyes. Lee replies that he shares the same state of mind. &lt;br /&gt;
* Adama says he wants to believe Thrace, but notes that Roslin&#039;s right, and that the Cylons may be counting on Adama&#039;s belief. He adds that they&#039;ll follow Roslin&#039;s lead for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;
* Lee asks if Roslin&#039;s still staying in his father&#039;s quarters. Adama replies in the positive, noting that this is temporary until they can find quarters where she can wait for the remaining [[diloxin]] treatments.&lt;br /&gt;
* Adama thanks Lee for suiting up during the fight. As an unspoken apology for an earlier heated discussion about Lee&#039;s integrity, Adama offers Lee his wings back. However, Lee notes that while he removed those for the wrong reasons, he&#039;s had feelers from the government, who have offered him a chance to do more than he ever could do in the cockpit. He feels that Baltar&#039;s trial was a &amp;quot;trigger&amp;quot;, but he notes that he needs a change and move on. &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Yet another frakking Adama talk.jpg|thumb|The Adamas reconcile... a tad.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After an uncomfortable, solemn silence, Lee asks what would have happened had [[Zak Adama|Zak]] had been in the cockpit, and it was revealed that he were a Cylon, and always had been. He asks if they would still love him, but Adama does not answer the question.&lt;br /&gt;
* At the commune, Baltar watches over Derrick as Jeanne and the others sleep. He then makes a decision to leave, but before he does so, he returns and prays over Derrick. Baltar asks why God should choose to take an innocent life instead of his own, because he&#039;s failed so many people and brought so much grief on the human race, yet the boy has done nothing to sin against God.&lt;br /&gt;
* As he prays, the women wake up and stare at him. Jeanne also awakens and begins to cry softly, clearly touched by this display. After Baltar is done, he looks around and walks away.&lt;br /&gt;
* Later on, Baltar and Schaffer walk through &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;&#039;s oddly empty corridors heading towards the officer&#039;s head. During the conversation, she says that they were all moved by Baltar&#039;s prayer. Baltar ruefully notes that it did no good, as Derrick&#039;s sickness became worse. Schaffer tells Baltar that the prayer helped ensure that God looks after his immortal soul, which Baltar glibly snaps at. &lt;br /&gt;
* Baltar tells Schaffer that they shouldn&#039;t look at him for guidance, implying that they are young and easily misguided. Baltar inquires as to what they&#039;re doing in the head, which, in reply, she snaps out a straight razor which he uses to shave his beard. &lt;br /&gt;
* After he is fully shaven, Charlie Connor enters. He appears very cordial towards Baltar, addressing him as &amp;quot;Mister President&amp;quot;, and despite Schaffer&#039;s urging, Baltar strikes up a conversation with Connor. Connor reveals that they met at [[Founders&#039; Day]] on [[New Caprica]], where Baltar also met Kevin (his son) who told Baltar that he wanted to be president when he grew up. Baltar then asks after Kevin. &lt;br /&gt;
* Connor reveals that Kevin died at the hands of the [[New Caprica Police]] during the Cylon occupation. Schaffer heads towards the hatch, only to be restrained by an associate of Connor&#039;s (possibly [[Shaunt]]). As she&#039;s being restrained, Connor assaults Baltar and places the razor Baltar used to Baltar&#039;s throat. Connor orders Baltar to look at him; Baltar does so, wide-eyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Act 4 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Connor attacks Baltar.jpg|thumb|[[Charlie Connor]] attacks [[Gaius Baltar]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Connor demands that Baltar screams. He wants to know if anyone would come after him. Meanwhile, Shaunt begins choking Schaffer to death.&lt;br /&gt;
* Baltar is brought to his knees. When Connor starts cutting into his throat, Virtual Six arises and asks if he was sincere in his prayer. He replies to Six that he is sincere, and begs that his life be taken. Connor is flummoxed at this.&lt;br /&gt;
* Schaffer manages to break free from Shaunt and breaks off a handle from a nearby floor washing bucket. She beats Shaunt with it, incapacitating him, then saves Baltar. She continues to beat Connor until Baltar stops her. &lt;br /&gt;
* En route to the commune, an exhilarated Schaffer says that she knew God wouldn&#039;t abandon him and that she can feel his love coarse through him, giving her the power to smite his attackers. He ruefully retorts that there&#039;d be less fighting next time, unless she wants to be up on murder charges.&lt;br /&gt;
* Baltar enters the enclave to discover that Derrick has fully recovered from his encephalitis. As the cultists look on at him, Six appears with a smirk on her face.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the [[memorial hallway]], Thrace notes to Anders that no one has removed her picture from the wall. Anders tells her to cut Adama and everyone some slack, since they are trying to figure out what happened to her. &lt;br /&gt;
* She tells Anders that she figured her experience of finding Earth was a dream. She begins theorizing about the logistics of her return aloud, speculating that the Cylons may have pulled her out of the soup and brainwashed her, or managed to clone her from parts that were extracted from her during her time in the Cylon baby [[farms]].  &lt;br /&gt;
* Anders disputes this, saying that if she were a Cylon, she would be one from the beginning. He professes his undying love for her, even if she may be a Cylon. She replies that he&#039;s more forgiving that she&#039;d ever be, noting that if Anders were a Cylon, she&#039;d kill him. &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Thrace and her gun.jpg|thumb|Thrace points a gun at Laura Roslin.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After another jump, Thrace experiences another headache. She insists that  the Fleet&#039;s going the wrong way. She claims that if she goes through one more jump, she&#039;ll lose the way. &lt;br /&gt;
* Anders offers her a bunk, but Thrace begins to believe that the only way to stop going the wrong way is to deal with Roslin. She incapacitates the female marine, while Anders knocks [[Nowart]]&#039;s gun aside before he could fire it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Thrace incapacitates Nowart as well. Anders asks what the hell she&#039;s doing. She asks where Roslin is, but Anders refuses to answer, so she knocks him out. &lt;br /&gt;
* Thrace takes out the marines guarding Adama&#039;s quarters, using a smoke grenade as a distraction. Roslin, who is sleeping in Adama&#039;s bunk, awakens to find Thrace approaching her. As Roslin stands, Thrace aims a gun at her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notes == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This season shows the first major change in the teaser titles since the series began. Instead of the &amp;quot;Cylons have a Plan&amp;quot; claim, the new titles show: &amp;quot;Twelve Cylon models. Seven are known. Four live in secret. One will be revealed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* As with Season 3&#039;s season opener, the length of this episode&#039;s teaser clocks near the 10 minute mark.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Katee Sackhoff]] has been re-added to the opening credit roll, since her &amp;quot;stunt&amp;quot; removal in the episodes &amp;quot;[[The Son Also Rises]]&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;[[Crossroads]]&amp;quot; two-parter. (Although she was credited in the end-credits for &amp;quot;[[Crossroads, Part II]]&amp;quot;.) &lt;br /&gt;
* The population of the Fleet, which hasn&#039;t been revealed since &amp;quot;[[The Son Also Rises]]&amp;quot; (but is assumed to be around 41,398) is 39,698. 600 of those were people who died aboard the &#039;&#039;Pyxis&#039;&#039;, the other 1,100 likely died on other ships during the attack.&lt;br /&gt;
* The gun Saul Tigh uses in his &amp;quot;nightmare&amp;quot; against [[William Adama]] is the same weapon that [[Sharon Valerii|Sharon &amp;quot;Boomer&amp;quot; Valerii]] shot Adama with in &amp;quot;[[Kobol&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part II]]&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
* While Anders played for a professional Caprican [[pyramid]] team, he was (allegedly) born on [[Picon (RDM)|Picon]] and enrolled in [[Noyce Elementary School]]. &lt;br /&gt;
* In promotional photos for this episode, the tail number for Thrace&#039;s pristine Viper is [[Viper 4267|4267 NC]], the same Viper that [[Chuckles]] used and died in during the [[Battle for the Tylium Asteroid]] in &amp;quot;[[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]&amp;quot;. However, this number was digitally removed in the aired version to match the Viper that was destroyed in &amp;quot;Maelstrom&amp;quot;: [[Viper 8757]].&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[FTL]] jump at the end of the episode uses a shorter version of the [[w:Vertigo zoom|Vertigo zoom]] effect, that has not been seen since the [[Miniseries]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Religion ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The title was first reported as &amp;quot;He That Believ&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;a&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;th In Me&amp;quot;. Writer [[User:Ngarenn|Bradley Thompson]] [[BW:OC#Season 4 First Episode Title|confirmed]] that this was an unintentional misspelling.&lt;br /&gt;
* The title is a reference to John 11:25-26, which says:&lt;br /&gt;
*: Jesus said unto her, &amp;quot;I am the resurrection, and the life: &#039;&#039;&#039;he that believeth in me&#039;&#039;&#039;, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?&amp;quot; (King James Bible)&lt;br /&gt;
* In Baltar&#039;s conversation with [[Tracey Anne]], he reveals the name of one more of the [[Lords of Kobol (RDM)|Gods]], [[Poseidon]], a God in the Greek pantheon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Thrace&#039;s claims ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* When speaking of her claim about [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]], Thrace mentions the moon being &amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot;. Earth&#039;s moon is not this color, although one may be able to account for this coloration due to the sun&#039;s light hitting on its surface. Further, if it were Earth&#039;s moon she was speaking on, she may be remembering seeing it from within Earth&#039;s atmosphere, since the moon can look &amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; depending on the atmospheric conditions. Alternatively, she may have intended to say &amp;quot;yellow star and moon&amp;quot; (referring only to the star as yellow) instead of &amp;quot;yellow moon and star.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Assuming that Thrace has been in the system [[w:Sol|Sol]], the &amp;quot;giant gas planet with rings&amp;quot; could be any of the four [[w:Gas giant|Jovian]] planets. [[w:Saturn|Saturn]] is noted for its large ring system, whereas [[w:Jupiter|Jupiter]] (noted as being the largest gas giant in Sol), [[w:Uranus|Uranus]] and [[w:Neptune|Neptune]] each have rings that are not as notable as those of the aforementioned Saturn. &lt;br /&gt;
* Interestingly, Jupiter is home of a massive storm known as the &amp;quot;[[w:Great Red Spot|Great Red Spot]]&amp;quot;, which is another allusion to the &amp;quot;[[Eye of Jupiter]]&amp;quot;. Further, this Great Red Spot, which is a massive hurricane-like storm of immense width, is a storm similar to the one in &amp;quot;Maelstrom&amp;quot; and may possibly be related to how she returns to the Fleet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Analysis ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Gaius Baltar and his cult ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Baltar&#039;s cult is a cult-of-personality, where Gaius Baltar is seen by misguided humans as a messianic, mortal savior. However, there is little to absolutely no basis for this in actual fact. Further, no reason for this apparently sudden rise of the &amp;quot;Baltar cult&amp;quot; has yet been provided.&lt;br /&gt;
* Baltar&#039;s cult seems to have amassed a following comprising mostly of women who are Caucasian, well-fit, reasonably well-proportioned, and within the ages of 20 to 40. Further, the cult seems to be disturbingly similar to the &amp;quot;Manson Family&amp;quot; in this regard, although Baltar is more-or-less placed in the position as cult&#039;s spiritual leader. &lt;br /&gt;
* The cult is also hedonistic, verging on counter-cultural (the class-warfare against the Fleet&#039;s so-called &amp;quot;aristocracy&amp;quot;), cooperative, and religious. Apparently, the room is shared by all, and sexual intercourse with one another is inferred as being common. This inference is noted as the cultists do not appear surprised that Baltar and [[Tracey Anne]] have engaged in intercourse, even given Baltar&#039;s status as a spiritual leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ionian Nebula ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Fleet-wide power-loss, and subsequent power recovery, remains unexplained. &lt;br /&gt;
* It is heavily inferred that the Cylons now know that the Final Five are in the Fleet, given their rapid withdrawal during the battle.&lt;br /&gt;
* Further, it remains unexplained how the Cylons were able to track the Fleet to the nebula. They were either able to determine the Fleet&#039;s projected course, despite the efforts to use the &#039;&#039;Daru Mozu&#039;&#039; as a decoy, or found another way to track the Fleet.&lt;br /&gt;
* The battle within the nebula demonstrates that &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039; remains combat ready and able to engage Cylon basestars despite the damage suffered during the [[Battle of New Caprica]]. The ship&#039;s main guns are fully active on screen here for the first time since that engagement, and &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;s&#039;&#039; point defense batteries are also shown operating.&lt;br /&gt;
*Despite Racetrack&#039;s claim in [[Torn]] that &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039; had more trained pilots than ships as result of the crews of both &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Pegasus&#039;&#039; combining, this episode shows Admiral Adama pressing nuggets into action in order to have as many Vipers flying as possible. This suggests either Racetrack was exaggerating or speaking only about Raptor pilots, or that &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;s&#039;&#039; combined spare Viper compliment is very large- a possibility given that &#039;&#039;Pegasus&#039;&#039; possessed Viper production facilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kara Thrace ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* As to be expected, Kara Thrace&#039;s return is clouded in suspicion. Given the effects of time dilation she had experienced (six hours from her perspective, more than two months from the Fleet&#039;s), she may have experienced a form [[w:gravitational time dilation|gravitational time dilation]], given her proximity to the mandala phenomenon in &amp;quot;[[Maelstrom]]&amp;quot; and the hard deck. &lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;quot;missing time&amp;quot; phenomenon and the lack of navigation data in the Viper&#039;s computer are similar to the [[w:Abduction phenomenon|abduction experiences]] that have been reported. Coincidentally, these experiences allege paralysis and &amp;quot;blinding light.&amp;quot;  Kara Thrace experienced the blinding light phenomenon in &amp;quot;Maelstrom&amp;quot; before her death, and her lack of control in pulling up her Viper from the hard deck does suggest a form of paralysis, or even distraction, whereby her mind was occupied and thus ignored the warnings from Lee Adama, et al. &lt;br /&gt;
* Thrace has feelings of [[w:theophany|theophany]] before her death in &amp;quot;Maelstrom&amp;quot;. Further, these feelings have somehow influenced her and manifested extra-sensory abilities that leads her to a [[w:Jeanne d&#039;Arc|Jeanne d&#039;Arc]]-ian crusade, believing that she can lead the Fleet to Earth. &lt;br /&gt;
* Thrace&#039;s headaches are likely similar in nature to [[Laura Roslin]]&#039;s headache in &amp;quot;[[Crossroads, Part II]]&amp;quot; after arriving at the [[Ionian Nebula]]. After a jump is executed, Thrace experiences these headaches as well, however the headaches lead her to believe that they are further and further down the wrong path and away from Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Final Five ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Given their animal-like nature, the biological Cylon Raiders are able to identify members of the Final Five, as [[Samuel Anders]] experiences during the Battle of the Ionian Nebula.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sharon Agathon is incapable of identifying the Final Five models, even after they&#039;ve been &amp;quot;activated&amp;quot;, to use the term loosely.&lt;br /&gt;
* The episode does not delve too deeply into [[Tory Foster]] or [[Galen Tyrol]]&#039;s reactions to their newfound natures, however this will doubtless be the case in future episodes. The episode centers around [[Saul Tigh]], who has become the &#039;&#039;de facto&#039;&#039; leader of the &amp;quot;Final Four&amp;quot;, and [[Samuel Anders]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Saul Tigh begins to have nightmares in his waking state. He envisions pulling out a gun and killing Adama, harkening back to [[Sharon Valerii|Sharon &amp;quot;Boomer&amp;quot; Valerii]]&#039;s assassination attempt in &amp;quot;[[Kobol&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part II]]&amp;quot;. In his nightmare, he shoots Adama through the right eye, ironically the same eye that Tigh lost by the Significant Seven Cylons on [[New Caprica]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Samuel Anders ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Ander&#039;s red eye.jpg|thumb|Anders&#039;s &amp;quot;red eye&amp;quot; moment.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During the battle, it is Samuel Anders&#039;s right eye that &amp;quot;responds&amp;quot; to the Cylon Raider&#039;s roving eye. The electronic reddening effect appears to be an acknowledgment of the [[IFF]] signal the Raider sent out. &lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;quot;red eye&amp;quot; of the Cylon Raiders has been used to transmit signals to ships using Baltar&#039;s [[Command Navigation Program]] in the [[Miniseries]]. This may have &amp;quot;activated&amp;quot; some programming or instinct within the Cylon Raider -- or even Anders&#039; -- in much the same way it accessed the backdoors to Baltar&#039;s program.&lt;br /&gt;
* It is implied that Anders&#039;s inability to fire on the Cylon Raider that &amp;quot;made him&amp;quot; is &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; related to any technical error on the Viper. His safeties are still active at the time, which are attributed to two things within the episode: a &amp;quot;dumb [[nugget]] mistake&amp;quot; (according to [[Margaret Edmondson|Margaret &amp;quot;Racetrack&amp;quot; Edmondson]] and later reiterated by Tigh) or some subconscious Cylon programming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Comparisons to the Original Series ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The episode shares many of the same concepts in common from the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]], particularly the mythology laid down in the Original Series&#039;s two-parter &amp;quot;[[War of the Gods]]&amp;quot;. In that episode, it is revealed that there are greater forces at work in the universe: Count [[Iblis]], who is insinuated to have started the [[Thousand Yahren War]] that resulted in the [[Battle of Cimtar|Colonies&#039; destruction]], and the &amp;quot;forces of good&amp;quot;, the [[Beings of Light]] who [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] describes as being &amp;quot;guardians of the universe&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
** Essentially, in &amp;quot;[[War of the Gods, Part II]]&amp;quot;, [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] is killed by a bolt that Iblis meant for [[Sheba]]. After the encounter, Iblis is captured by the Beings of Light, as are Starbuck and Sheba, who leave the [[red planet]] with Apollo&#039;s cadaver in their [[Colonial Shuttle (TOS)|shuttle]]. Much like [[Kara Thrace]], Apollo comes back from the dead. While Thrace&#039;s resurrection has yet been explained&amp;amp;mdash;this being one of the mysteries that drives the current season&amp;amp;mdash;Apollo is restored by the Beings of Light.&lt;br /&gt;
** Further, like Thrace, the three Warriors of the Original Series experience lost time, memory loss, and feelings of theophany. Additionally, they are given the coordinates to [[Earth (TOS)|Earth]], which are buried in their subconscious only to be awakened by a suggestion Adama makes to the three Warriors. On the other hand, Kara Thrace is given (allegedly) a feeling of extra-sensory perception, being able to &amp;quot;feel&amp;quot; her way to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]].&lt;br /&gt;
* It should also be noted that the Beings of Light in the Original Series are capable of moving ships to different locations. In &amp;quot;[[Experiment in Terra]]&amp;quot;, this is done to Apollo&#039;s ship as they move him well ahead of a patrol from &#039;&#039;[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]&#039;&#039;. Blackouts and memory loss (such as those apparently exhibited by Thrace) also demonstrated in the Original Series&#039;s abduction and subsequent encounters with the Beings of Light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Questions == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Did [[Samuel Anders]] make a &amp;quot;dumb [[nugget]] mistake&amp;quot; as Tigh contends, or was it some form of programing that asserted itself?&lt;br /&gt;
* Does [[Charlie Connor]] survive the massive beating he experiences at the hands of [[Paulla Schaffer]]? &lt;br /&gt;
* Is Kara Thrace the Final Cylon?&lt;br /&gt;
* Where did Thrace get her pristine Viper?&lt;br /&gt;
* Are Thrace&#039;s claims about being to Earth true? &lt;br /&gt;
* Why is the Viper&#039;s camera footage viable, yet nothing is found in the navigational records?&lt;br /&gt;
* Why have the Significant Seven Cylons been programmed to not think of the Final Five? &lt;br /&gt;
* Can the Significant Seven identify the Final Five once they are able to bypass this imperative?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Saul Tigh]] experiences a disturbing daydream:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;[[William Adama]]:&#039;&#039;&#039; Saul. Saul! What the hell is wrong with you?&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Saul Tigh:&#039;&#039;&#039; Nothing, Bill. (Tigh pulls out a gun and aims it at Adama.) I&#039;ve never felt better in my entire life. (Tigh shoots Adama through his right eye.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Galen Tyrol]] barks out orders:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;[[Virtual Six]] talks to [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]]:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Virtual Six:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yesterday you were facing execution. Today, you&#039;re free. Why the long face?&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Baltar:&#039;&#039;&#039; Oh, gee, I don&#039;t know. From President of the Colonies to this... King of fools. Probably best to be hated by everyone than loved by this lot, doomed to live out the rest of my life in this looney bin. I don&#039;t know, that might have something to do with my rather savage mood swings. &lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Virtual Six:&#039;&#039;&#039; Relax Gaius. Do you think I&#039;ve brought you this far to let it end here?&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Baltar:&#039;&#039;&#039; I need encouragement. A ray of hope about the future.  An inkling.&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Virtual Six:&#039;&#039;&#039; You&#039;ve got me. I&#039;m here for you. &lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;Lee Adama asks his father an uncomfortable set of questions:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Lee Adama:&#039;&#039;&#039; Dad, what if [[Zak Adama|Zak]] had come back to us in that Viper? If my brother had climbed out of that cockpit, would it matter if he were a Cylon? If he always had been? When all said and done, would that really change how we feel about him?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;Baltar&#039;s prayer for [[Derrick]]:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Gaius Baltar:&#039;&#039;&#039; Please God, I&#039;m asking you this one last time, don&#039;t let this child die. Has he sinned against you? He&#039;s not even alive yet. How can you take him and let me live... after all I&#039;ve done? Really, if you want someone to suffer, take me. We both know I deserve it. I&#039;m selfish and weak. I have failed so many people. I have killed. I&#039;m not asking for your forgiveness, I&#039;m just asking that you spare the life of this innocent child. Don&#039;t take him. Take me. Take me, take me, please.&lt;br /&gt;
