== Overview ==

: ''[[Shelly Godfrey]], a copy of the humanoid Cylon [[Number Six]] claiming to be a former aide to Doctor [[Amarak]], arrives on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' and accuses [[Gaius Baltar]] of collaborating with the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]].''

== Summary ==

* [[Gaius Baltar]] is mocking [[Number Six|Six's]] belief in God, which quickly escalates into an explosion of anger on his part -- and Six vanishes from his head.
* Called to [[CIC]], Baltar "finds" her there, and is confronted by [[William Adama|Adama]], who claims that "[[Shelly Godfrey|Miss Godfrey]]" has made some disturbing claims against Baltar.
* With a shock, Baltar comes to realise that "Miss Godfrey" is in fact a copy of Six, and that everyone can see her.
* "Miss Godfrey" then produces photographic evidence she claims will show Baltar planting a bomb in the [[Computers|Colonial Defense Mainframe]] on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] - a claim he strenuously denies.
* The image itself requires a full day of processing to reveal whether it does in fact show Baltar as "Godfrey" claims. Until that time, Adama suspends all work on Baltar's [[Cylon detector]] and places an embargo on Baltar leaving the ship -- something even [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]] is unwilling to override.
* But Roslin herself is far from well -- during her call with Baltar, she collapses, causing a fleet-wide scare when [[Billy Keikeya|Billy]] orders the flight deck to make a fleet-wide broadcast requesting medical assistance. It transpires that Roslin has been overdoing her [[Chamalla|cancer medication]] - but the truth is hidden by a story that she has the flu.
* As [[Felix Gaeta]] works on enhancing the image, Baltar becomes more and more desperate for news - even following Gaeta into the head (lavatory) for news on his progress.
* Elsewhere, "Miss Godfrey" meets with Adama in private, and behaves in typical Six fashion - coming on to him.
* "Godfrey's" behavior prompts Adama to order a watch be kept on her movements on the ship.
*Elsewhere on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] and [[Cally]] are analysing the captured Cylon Raider, using [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]]'s notes, but not making much progress, despite comments to the contrary to [[Saul Tigh|Colonel Tigh]], who isn't fooled.
* Tigh visits Starbuck in sickbay, and despite her efforts not to fall for his reverse psychology, he goads her into getting out of her cot and going to help Tyrol and his crew.
* [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] arrives at the Raider, and after an awkward moment with Tyrol, suggests that they might make better progress if they treated the Raider more like an animal – a hunter – than a machine. Her behavior with the Raider, stroking it as she speaks, spooks Tyrol.
* During a meeting with Adama, at which he protests his innocence and tries to get Adama to make "Shelly Godfrey" to submit to a test with his Cylon detector, Baltar learns that Adama plans to have the detector dismantled if the photographic evidence points to Baltar's guilt.
* During his conversation with Adama, he continues to search the house in his mind, trying to find "his" Six.
* Driven to extreme measures as the time required to enhance the image draws to a close, Baltar sets off a fire alarm as a distraction, breaks into the lab where Gaeta has been working and tries to destroy the evidence as it does indeed reveal his face - only to be stopped by Adama and arrested.
* Down on the [[hangar deck]], Kara Thrace joins [[Lee Adama]], Tyrol and Cally in their investigations of the Raider - even to the extent of climbing inside the craft despite her leg injury ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]).
* Tyrol repeats Boomer's advice to Thrace, and despite feeling incredibly stupid Thrace plays along and encourages the Raider to "giddy up." To her astonishment, the Raider powers up.
* In the [[brig]], Baltar is visited by Roslin, whom he believes has come to oversee his release. Instead, she is uncharacteristically vindictive, stating she ''knew'' he was a traitor. Baltar is infuriated that the President would condemn him solely on her "gut feeling."
* In the pilots' locker room, a tired-seeming Boomer opens her locker door only to find that the word CYLON has been written in yellow on the mirror on the other side. She desperately rubs it off with her hands, declaring that it's not true.
* As a result of Roslin's visit, Baltar finally sees his only way out is to do what Six has been urging him to do: give himself over to God's will. He gets down on his knees and starts praying.
* He repeats his prayer several times, and suddenly "Six" is beside him once more, telling him everything will be all right.
* Gaeta enters the brig and throws Baltar into a wild panic: he is convinced he is about to be summarily executed.
* Calming Baltar, Gaeta tells Baltar he is a free man - the photographs delivered by "Shelly Godfrey" have proven to be fakes.
* As Baltar is released, Adama learns that "Shelly Godfrey" has literally vanished, her watchers reporting she turned a corner in a corridor, and when they got to it, she had simply disappeared. The only thing left are her glasses.
* On ''[[Colonial One]]'', Roslin holds a press conference publicly exonerating Baltar.
* While acknowledging the act, Baltar meets with Six in his fantasy world, and she points out that he is now next to invincible: he's been through a trial by fire, and no-one would dare accuse him of acting against [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] again. She then starts stripping as she climbs the stairs to the bedroom.
* Following her, Baltar can't help asking her one question: was "Shelly Godfrey" ever really "here"? Her response is a coy smile.

=== On Caprica ===
* [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] and [[Sharon Agathon|Valerii]] are on the run from [[Cylon Centurion]]s.
* As they camp out for the night, Helo confesses he couldn't bear to see anything happen to her.
* Hiding a smile of victory, Valerii silences Helo's words with a kiss, and as a thunderstorm threatens, they make love.

== Notes ==
*A week has passed since "[[Litmus]]".
*[[Sharon Valerii|Sharon "Boomer" Valerii]] is accidentally revealing more and more of her Cylon nature.
*[[Karl Agathon]] has passed another test on Caprica; he’s now sexually active with "Caprica" Valerii.
*[[Felix Gaeta]] admires [[Gaius Baltar]] and may be his one true friend on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''.
*Baltar appears very close to completing his [[Cylon detector]].
*Cylon [[Raider (RDM)|Raiders]] may well be purpose-bred, semi-intelligent bio-machines, as later proven in "[[Six of One]]."
*The Colonials use [[w:QWERTY|QWERTY]] keyboards, in keeping with the "naturalistic" feel of the series.
*According to the "[[Battlestar Galactica: The Story So Far|The Story So Far]]" special, which summarizes the first two seasons, it was another crewmember who wrote "Cylon" on Valerii's mirror. However, in "[[The Plan]]" Boomer states that she believed it was herself who wrote it.

== Analysis ==
* Shelly Godfrey herself is the clearest indication yet that Baltar's Six is not only an implant in Baltar's head - but that "she" is in direct contact with other Cylons scattered within the Fleet, and they are working in concert with one another in order to fully subvert Baltar to their will. The idea that Shelly Godfrey is a humanoid Cylon working to prevent Baltar from finalizing his Cylon detector would make her arrival on ''Galactica'' at the precise moment Six vanishes from Baltar's head push coincidence to the limits of credibility.
** But there is [[Downloaded|evidence]] to suggest this is less of a Cylon connection and more of the "instrument of God" story at play.
*** In [[The Plan]] its shown that Godfrey is just another copy of Six working for Cavil trying to discredit Baltar due to his Cylon detector. Godfrey is indicated to have made the evidence easy to find out due to her own attraction to Baltar and she disappears as another Six, disguised as her, takes her place long enough for her to slip away while the other Six presumably just removes her disguise afterwards. Godfrey's complete disappearance is due to the fact that Cavil blew her out of one of ''Galactica'''s airlocks as she was now useless, though she undoubtedly later resurrected in the Cylon fleet.
* Godfrey's mission seems to be to strengthen Baltar's position within the Fleet by using evidence that can be discredited relatively easily. Further accusations of treason against Baltar will be more suspect.

== Questions ==

=== Answered Questions ===

{{answered questions|season=1|series=RDM|episode=Six Degrees of Separation}}

*Is [[Head Six]] in communication with her "sisters" in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]?
*Will [[Gaius Baltar]] forgive [[Laura Roslin]] for her condemnation of him?
*Even if Baltar completes his [[Cylon detector]], will any results it gives be trustworthy?
*Who wrote "CYLON" on Valerii's locker mirror? Could it have been Ms. Godfrey, a suspicious human crewmember, or Valerii herself?

=== Unanswered Questions ===

*What is the range of actions in Baltar's fantasy world that are translated over into the real world?
*If Godfrey is still on ''Galactica'', is Valerii unwittingly helping her like she helped [[Aaron Doral]] in "[[Litmus]]"?
*Why didn't Agathon use a prophylactic?
*Why do Cylon spines glow red during the act of sex?
*Where did [[Shelly Godfrey]] go after her disappearance?

== Official Statements ==



== Noteworthy Dialogue ==

*''[[Gaius Baltar]] to [[William Adama]], confronting the accusation that he may be a traitor:''
:'''Gaius Baltar''': And I don’t like being accused of participating in [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|the genocide of the human race]] based solely on the word of a woman whom I have already indicated to you may well be a Cylon agent...I did not conspire with the Cylons. I’m an innocent man who is being convicted in the court of public opinion without trial.

*''In sick bay, [[Kara Thrace]] is about to start walking after recovering from her knee injury, sustained in "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]":''
:'''[[Lee Adama]]''': C'mon Starbuck, you can do it. 
:(Kara Thrace gets out of bed, using it as a support.) 
:'''Adama''' (mockingly): Ah, that smarts. (walks over to Thrace on crutches) That smarts. But I. Don't. Care. 
:'''Thrace''': You don't care? 
:'''Adama''': I don't care. Because your pain is my entertainment. (hands crutches over to Kara) Your Crutches of Death, sir. Use them wisely. 
:'''Thrace''': Shut up. 
:'''Doctor [[Sherman Cottle]]''': It's going to hurt like hell, but it's supposed to. 
:'''Thrace''': (wryly) Thanks doc. 
:(Thrace starts out, slowly) 
:'''Adama''': No pain, no gain. No cliché left unturned as, as Kara Thrace returns to the world of the walking. Can she do it or will she fall on her ass? 
:'''Thrace''': I swear to the Gods that I'm going to beat the crap out of both of you as soon as I get better... (pauses, retreats) No, I can't. 
:'''Adama''': Yes you can. You did it. 
:'''Thrace''': No I can't. I can't. I can't. 
:'''Cottle''': You're not going to get better lying on your back. 
:'''Thrace''': (getting on the bed) Oh, frak off. 
:'''Adama''': We'll just take a break for five minutes. 
:'''Thrace''': I don't want to do it again. I want a pill. Now. Please. 
:'''Cottle''': Sorry, but we're weaning you off the magic pills starting today. Besides, I need them for myself. (ambles off)

== Military Ranks ==

Just a few concluding remarks I don't blame you for what you did, where I in your position I would have done the same thing. The reason I didn't respond to Serenity's first post was because until yesterday I had been unable to figure out how. As far as fear of retribution, I've never really been involved with a wiki before so I wasn't really sure what to expect and was kind of intimidated. I appreciate you're addressing my issues. Not only did it help me understand why things were happening the way they were, but it also made me feel like my input was welcome and that was all I was asking for. I am anxious to see any clarification you can offer in the weeks ahead because I find this a rather fascinating topic.

Thanks again for the clarification. {{unsigned|Grandmaester314}}

== BG S4.1 in Latin America ==

In Latin America, Season Four of Battlestar Galactica airs on Saturdays and Sundays on [http://www.canalspace.tv Space].

== Dynamic Page List ==

Hi, I just checked all feature about BW and I didn't see the Dynamic Page List feature. Do you plan one day to install it because it's very useful?--[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 20:32, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
: Perhaps. I'll talk with [[User:Shane|Shane]] about this. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 21:08, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

=== Examples ===

Here are some examples I made for the Stargate Wiki FR:

* To see minor characters:
** [http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:LigneMineurs Automatic generation of a line with five stamps] using DPL with entry of the series, the season, and the first article sorted.
** [http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Portail:Personnages_Universe/Mineurs/Saison_Un/Page_1 Automatic generation of minor characters for the first page] with automatic sort by last name
**[http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Portail:Personnages_Universe/Mineurs/Saison_Un Automatic creation of minor character stamps page links] with automatic image update and automatic update of the first and the last character name of this page.
* To see objects:
** [http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:Ligne Automatic generation of a line]. All you juste have to do is to put the correct category.
** [http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Portail:Armes Autogeneration of a page] with the famous lines.
* To resume objects in a bottom navigation bar:
** [http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:Divers Nav bar] automaticaly updated (put the right category)

All you have to do with this kind or templates is to put the right category and DPL (with a purge) will do the rest. The main purpose of DPL is to avoid editing when the database can do the stuff for you. You don't have to edit an article or a template to update with new article of the same category. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 08:28, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

== What about RFA and RFB for French BW ? ==

Hi Joe,

I'm on the verge to edit the policy for the french version of [[BW:RFA|Request for Admninship]] and [[BW:RFB|Request for Bureaucratship]]. I need your help for this two policies.
# Do I just translate the English version with the same vote system than the main site?
# Do I have to do it in another way?
# Is the principle of request the same than the main site?
Thanks for answering.--[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 11:25, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

: If you have any suggestions as to improve the policies in question, then that would work well. Until the French wiki has more contributors, I don't think the RFA and RFB are really going to work all that well, and so administrators are promoted on a case-by-case basis as determined by you, me, and Shane. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 13:10, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

:: Until I design or translate all the templates needed and the main page, I think there will not be a lot of contributors. The main problem is the lack of French and French-speaking people who speak English fluently. French people are not very confortable with English, so it's very difficult for them to contribute unless they have seen the show and are fans. With your agreement, I will just create one page for RFA and RFB with the statement you said above (Shane, you and me). FYI, all the episodes of the [[Re-Imagined Series]] have been aired in France, and have been released in DVD format (I just saw the Season 4 Part 2 Set yesterday in a supermarket) . --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 14:22, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

== Wiki Store (FR) and iTunes (FR) ==

Hi again,

I can see on the Support section of the sidebar many links to affiliates (like Amazon and iTunes). Can I (or not) create similar links to french Amazon and iTunes store with french official stuff from ''Battlestar Galactica'' Franchise? --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 18:06, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

== Hah, I feel bad now. ==

Since I've joined here, the only thing I've been doing is tinkering with the Glare page. Now I feel bad that's all I've been doing. =/ I gotta help out for the reals, so do any pages need serious revision/are missing a lot of crap that I can help out with? --[[User:NeutraVega|NeutraVega]] 19:40, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

: Hi there! :D Sorry for the long delay in replying, but we had the database locked and the site moved to new servers, thus the delay. Anyway, we could use the most help on the [[Caprica pilot]] page and subjects relating to ''Caprica''. So if you'd like to start there, that'd be great. :) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 16:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

== Advertising and problem on media repository ==

Hi Joe and Happy New Year, 
As I already said to Shan, I can see that you succeed to bring back the wiki. Congratulations. I have two point to ask.
# I made a donation for the wiki to avoid advertising but I still have them on the screen, why? Thank you for your answer.
# On the media repository, I tried to upload an image. It is actually somewhere in the directory but the sofware is unable to create a thumbnail. It says that it cannot find the "convert" file on the server. So for now, it's impossible to add new images on the media repository.
Thanks for your answer. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 15:48, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

: Happy New Year to you too! :D
: Anyway, I went ahead and upgraded your account to sponsor status, so you shouldn't see the ads. If you do, try logging in and out again. If that doesn't work, a hard refresh should clear the cache. As for the convert issue, I'll have Shane look into it. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 15:55, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

== InterBot and BS Pegasus ==

Hi Joe. 
1. It seems that [[:fr:User:InterBot|InterBot]] doesn't work because the interwiki link I made on the pages I created aren't duplicated on the other wikis. 
2. I don't have access to [http://www.battlestarpegasus.com/ BS Pegasus] either. It says it's forbidden. Is there any problem since the server transfer or something? 
Thanks for your answer. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 21:41, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
:Hi, Still doesn't work for both points. Do you have any answer for that please? Thanks. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 14:23, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

: Sorry, I've been pretty busy. (Barely have had time to really work on the wiki, other than to greet the newcomers.) To answer your questions:
: 1. Shane needs to reprogram the InterBot. He hasn't had time to do that as he's been working on projects for Best Buy.
: 2. The BS Pegasus site is down. No ETA on when that'll be back up as it isn't priority. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 01:35, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

== Calendar dates on auction items ==

Hi Joe,

I expanded the [[Colonial calendar#Different Dating Methods]] section with information from a couple of auction items and noticed in the process that you wrote at least some of the blog entries at battlestarprops.com. Do you recall seeing any calendar items I haven't mentioned yet, and if so, could you point me to their pictures? It would also be nice to see a higher resolution scan of Socrata's medal of valor document, if one is available.

Regards,

-- [[User:Graf Iblis|Graf Iblis]] 19:55, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

: I honestly never really paid all that much attention to the dating thing, since it was all made up anyway. (''Star Trek'''s "stardate" system is a very good example of this, actually. It isn't until they did TNG that they really put thought into it.) There is very little consistency behind the dating on any of the paperwork; in television production, much of it is thrown together—some of it even at the very last minute—even taking into account the quality of BSG's paperwork being higher than other genre television series. It isn't until ''Caprica'' that they really tried to address the issue of the Colonial dating method, because it's simply not natural not to have characters ''not'' say "Hey Lacy, meet me for lunch on Saturday."

: As for photos of the stuff, the [http://archive.propworx.com Propworx archive] has photos of everything that's been auctioned through Propworx. I also know of a few fans who have won many paperwork documents from the BSG auctions (both live and via eBay) that have taken the time to scan them, but most of their work is on private boards and some prop replication communities. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 02:34, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. The scans on that site have a much higher resolution and I already found a couple of items with supposed dates. I would like to document them in the article primarily to establish that there was no real system in the re-imagined series as opposed to ''Caprica''. Such random alphanumerics also suggest to the reader that the dates in Adama's dossier need not be correct necessarily (e.g. the year 20000+). -- [[User:Graf Iblis|Graf Iblis]] 18:16, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

== "pos" extended parser function ==

Hi Joe, I would like to ask if it is possible to add the "'''''pos'''''" Parser Function into the wiki, this will allow to do some research more easily (for example to do an action on pages with a certain text and not on the others). Thanks for your answer. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 12:57, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

: Do you have a link so I can check this out? I take it this is an extension to MW. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 13:15, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

:: Check [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StringFunctions this link] to see. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 18:20, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

::: It's now installed. I'd be interested to see how you use this. Cheers! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 20:19, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

:::: One example for the moment:
::::* The [[fr:Modèle:Apparitions Télésuite, 1re nuit|Modèle:Apparitions Télésuite]] template using [[fr:Modèle:Apparition]]. I use the '''''pos''''' to show the number of apparitions only on the Apparition page (condition) :
::::** When you see it inside the episode: [[fr:Télésuite, 1re nuit#Apparition des personnages|Télésuite, 1re nuit#Apparition des personnages]]
::::** When you see it inside the characters apparition page: [[fr:Liste des apparitions des personnages par épisode#Battlestar Galactica|Liste des apparitions des personnages par épisode]]. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 20:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

== HTML activation ==

Hi Joe, I think the wiki has not the HTML function activated because I tried to import some Wikipedia template to adapt them to the wiki and those have htlm writing inside and it doesn't work. So, please, is it possible to activate html editing in the french wiki? Thanks a lot. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 11:34, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

::[[fr:Modèle:Infobox/Ligne mixte|This one]] for example. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 16:47, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
::: Why not just use the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables wikicode table syntax]? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 17:06, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
:::: I tried it but there is an issue when you use a template using parser function inside another template using parser functions. It doesn't recognise at all a link (an image for an example) created by the template inside, it separates the link like a colspan. At least, is it possible to activate only the <code><nowiki><td><hr><tr></nowiki></code> tags? --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 13:21, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
::::: OK, I should get to activating those HTML tags sometime tonight. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 17:44, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

== SVG generation ==

Hi Joe, I hope you're fine, I've seen a little problem with the SVG generator. It doesn't work properly. Here is the message I get :

<code>Erreur lors de la création de la miniature : /usr/bin/rsvg: not found</code>

I think it's a missing file forgot during the transfer last december. Thank you for your answer. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 08:21, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

: It's that rsvg isn't presently installed on the new server. I'll send in a support request. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 18:39, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

:: Hi, Joe, Still doesn't work, sorry. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 16:36, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

::: Yeah, that's because I was sidetracked and neglected sending that support request. I've sent it in and hope to hear from someone in the next 48 hours.

== removal of my question ==

Hi !

Yes, it was a real question : how could the pegasus avoid further contamination by the Cylon virus. Is this answered in future episodes ?

Why did you simply remove my question ?

== Overview ==

:''[[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]] happily discovers that the [[Mercury class battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' has survived the destruction of the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Colonies]], only to have [[Helena Cain|Admiral Cain]] take command of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' and enforce her own hardcore military doctrine on the Fleet.''

== Summary ==
*''Pegasus'', a [[Mercury class battlestar]], has joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. She survived the attack by [[blind-jump]]ing as the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] attacked the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]]. On board is Admiral [[Helena Cain|Cain]], a tough uncompromising warrior, and Commander [[William Adama|Adama]]'s superior.
* A large Cylon fleet of two [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]]s, approximately one dozen support ships and an [[Unknown Cylon Ship]] have been trailing the Fleet. ''Pegasus'' detected this fleet, which in turn led them to find ''Galactica''.
*''Pegasus'' discovered this Cylon fleet and has been carrying out hit-and-run attacks against the Cylons. At first the Cylon fleet's course seemed to be random, until Cain realized they were going to systems with natural resources.
* After looking over ''Galactica's'' logs, Cain surmises that the Cylon fleet was following ''Galactica'' (which itself was Jumping to systems with natural resources for the Fleet).
* Upon assuming command of the Fleet, Cain moves crew members around, citing discipline concerns, transferring [[Lee Adama]] and [[Kara Thrace]] to ''Pegasus''. This is in spite of her initial promise not to do so.
* President [[Laura Roslin]] has concerns about why Cain ignores her requests to talk and, more importantly, why ''Pegasus'' is only resupplying ''Galactica's'' military stores and ignoring the Fleet's needs.
*Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] meets up with his counterpart, [[Jack Fisk]]. Over drinks, Tigh hears an incredible story that Fisk later tries to laugh away as a joke. Fisk says that Cain [[Jurgen Belzen|shot her long-time XO in the CIC]] for violating a direct order. Tigh later relates this to Commander Adama.
* Tyrol welcomes his counterpart from ''Pegasus''. [[Peter Laird]] is a civilian aeronautical engineer-turned Deck Chief who designed the [[DDG-62|old engines]] in the [[Blackbird]]. Laird is both appalled and impressed by Tyrol's new stealth fighter.
* Captain Adama is essentially busted down to [[Raptor]] pilot in a recon mission to the Cylon fleet. He shows his defiant side by asking Starbuck (who is pulled off the recon mission herself for insubordination) to commandeer the [[Blackbird]] for better recon photos of the Cylon fleet, all without being noticed by Colonial ''or'' Cylon forces.
* [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] and [[Galen Tyrol]] discover that [[Gina Inviere]], the Cylon prisoner aboard ''Pegasus'', was raped by the crew as a form of torture. They rush to ''Galactica'''s brig, where a ''Pegasus'' lieutenant, [[Alastair Thorne]], is about to rape the Caprica copy of [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon Valerii]]. Tyrol throws Thorne against a bulkhead, accidentally killing him. The pair are arrested and taken to ''Pegasus''. [[image:pegasus02.jpg|left|thumb|Battlestar ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]''.]]
*Commander Adama is angered at Admiral Cain's convening of courts-martial for the men on ''Pegasus'', not ''Galactica'' where the offense occurred. Admiral Cain refuses to return the prisoners and balks at the thought of an independent tribunal to settle the dispute. Using Adama's logs against him once more, she notes that the [[Litmus|last time ''Galactica'' held a tribunal]], Commander Adama dissolved the tribunal when he "didn't like the verdict."
*Admiral Cain rapidly decides the verdict by herself hours later and orders Helo and Tyrol to be executed.
*Upon discovering what Admiral Cain's hasty execution order, Commander Adama orders a Raptor to fly out with an armed [[Marine]] boarding party, and launches ''Galactica's'' Vipers as escort, demanding that Admiral Cain release [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] and [[Galen Tyrol]].
*Admiral Cain responds by launching ''Pegasus''' Vipers against the incoming Vipers from ''Galactica''. They close in on each other as the episode ends.

== Notes ==
*The episode ran over time and a lot of the background information was cut from the television release. However the deleted scenes were restored for the DVD release to create a 5-act episode. These changes are detailed in the "[[Pegasus (Extended Version)]]" article.
* This episode has been nominated for the [[Awards and Honors|2006 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form]]
*[[Louanne Katraine|Kat]] flies wingman to [[Lee Adama|Apollo]] in the opening sequence of this episode, as the [[Combat Air Patrol|CAP]] scouts ''Pegasus''. Evidently she has been judged fit to resume flight status after negligently damaging a Viper due to overuse of [[stims]] in "[[Final Cut]]".
* This episode is inspired by the two part episode, "[[The Living Legend, Part I (TOS)|The Living Legend]]".
* [[Ronald D. Moore]] also wrote another episode called ''[[memoryalpha:The Pegasus|The Pegasus]]'', in the seventh season of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''.
* During the premiere airing of this episode on the Sci-Fi Channel, when the episode came back from commercial at the start of Act 3 a "Viewer Discretion Is Advised" black and white message was inserted, warning of "mature subject matter" and content. The following final act of the episode shows drunken ''Pegasus'' crewmen bragging about raping the Humanoid Cylon known as Gina, then the scene where Lt. Thorne attempts to rape Caprica-Sharon and Tyrol and Agathon intervene and fight the Marine guards appears.
* ''Pegasus'' crew wear a white version of the Colonial patch on their uniforms instead of the gold version used by ''Galactica''.
**Apollo and Starbuck do not switch to this version after their transfer to ''Pegasus'', in this or subsequent episodes.
*Baltar makes an etiquette flub, referring to Admiral Cain as "Commander". She promptly corrects him "Admiral!" and he apologizes. This might be a little in-joke that in the Original Series, Cain is a Commander, and does not outrank Adama.
*After ''Pegasus'' is identified as a Colonial vessel, Adama orders the Fleet to "stand down to Condition One". However, Condition One is the highest [[Action stations|alert level]]. Thus this is an error, and Adama should either order Condition Two or to "stand down ''from'' Condition One".
*Visual effects gaffe: When viewers are cut to ''Galactica's'' exterior as Adama makes his way to the bridge, ''Pegasus'' is in front and and slightly below and to the right of ''Galactica''. When seen again shortly later as she launches Vipers towards ''Galactica'', the ship is quite a distance away from the Fleet, above it and facing its left side.

== Analysis ==
*The population count is 49,605, a dramatic increase of 1,752 since the 47,853 count in "[[Flight of the Phoenix]]", accounting for the addition of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' and her crew to the Colonial Fleet. This is to date the only occasion upon which the Fleet population marked a substantial increase.
**Cain notes that ''Pegasus'' lost 700 crew in the opening attack. This indicates that at the time of the attack her crew totaled to approximately 2,460.
***This number does not take into account any casualties that may have occurred because of the attack on the Cylon staging area, or any subsequent encounters with the Cylons.
***This is substantially smaller than ''[[Galactica]]'''s crew, explained by many of Cain's crew being on leave at the time of the attack and mainly increased automation due to newer technology.
* As the episode ends, the bulk of ''Galactica's'' Viper fleet consist of the Mark IIs, while ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' has the Mark VIIs. A classic picture of "old vs. new".
**While ''Pegasus'' seems to have entirely Viper Mk. VIIs, they would presumably have had to removed most of the automated systems from them (to prevent Cylon virus infiltration). Doing this makes them more difficult to fly (''Galactica's'' few Mk. VII's are only used by the most capable pilots now). ''Pegasus's'' pilots might have more advanced fighters but they aren't as reliable now as the tried-and-true Mk. IIs.
* [[Helena Cain]] is the female version of [[Cain (TOS)|Cain]], who was portrayed by the late [[Lloyd Bridges]] in the original ''[[Battlestar Galactica (1978)|Battlestar Galactica]]''.
*[[Cally Henderson]]'s charged reaction to the drunken ''Pegasus'' crewmen bragging about raping Gina repeatedly is probably due to herself being the survivor of an attempted rape, in "[[Bastille Day]]". This disgust with the ''Pegasus'' crew's gang-rape of Gina is interesting in light of the fact that Henderson had no compunctions about killing [[Sharon Valerii]]. Evidently she now acknowledges the Cylons' humanity in at least some measure.
**Women don't appreciate talk about rape in general. Ron Moore indicates something to this effect [[Podcast:Pegasus#Act 3|in the podcast]].
*It is interesting on a dramatic level how the portrayal of Cally's killing of Valerii in "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]" contrasts with the portrayal of the brutalized Gina and the attempted rape of [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Valerii]]. It was less shocking to many to watch Boomer being shot to death than it was to watch Caprica-Valerii being pinned down over her bunk and almost raped — possibly because, while killing a Valerii copy is an understandable act of revenge, raping one would be a senseless act of cruelty.
*In the [[Miniseries]], Adama first proposes that ''Galactica'' will go about independent of the rest of the fleet and fight the Cylons. Roslin persuades him to instead protect and lead the fleet on their escape from the colonies. The ''Pegasus'', in contrast, ''did'' travel about independently attacking the Cylons. The condition of the ''Pegasus'''s crew may be an indication of what would have happened to ''Galactica'' if she stood and fought.
*In contrast to ''Galactica'''s nearly evenly gender-divided crew, the crew of the ''Pegasus'' seems predominantly male to a very high degree. Admiral Cain is the only female aboard ''Pegasus'' with a speaking role, with only a couple other females visible in the hallways or in the ''Pegasus'' ready room. This stands in notable contrast to Ron Moore's egalitarian vision of gender issues in the military, and might have been an intentional decision made during production. In addition, the dialogue of the drunken ''Pegasus'' crewmen suggests they have perhaps forgotten how to act around women— they either ignore or fail to understand Cally's and the other female crew members' disgust with their talk about gang-raping Gina. This may be a contributing factor to the behavior of the ''Pegasus'' crew, and the resulting sexual frustration could have led to the overly regimented, authoritarian, and brutal culture the crew developed, culminating in the senseless, repeated gang rape of the Cylon prisoner [[Gina Inviere]]. However, it should be noted that "[[Razor]]" later shows many women among the crew in various roles.
*Not simply relying on her rank, Admiral Cain asserts her dominance in more subtle ways as soon as she sets foot on ''Galactica''. Despite the fact that she is bringing one ship to join dozens, she welcomes ''Galactica'' back to the Colonial Fleet, thus defining the Fleet as wherever she is. Later she tells Roslin "You look like I just shot your dog" when she asserts her authority over Adama. Both of these acts give some show of being welcoming or friendly, but also claim her spot at the top of the food chain.
* Also, since Adama has the rank of commander, he would not normally be entitled to "having a fleet," but more likely would be in charge of a convoy. This is how Commander [[Kronus]] refers to the "Fleet" in the [[Original Series]]. By contrast, flag officers (admirals) command "fleets," so Cain referring to "joining the 'Colonial' Fleet" refers to her ''military'' command, as opposed to the civilian ''fleet''.
*[[Peter Laird|Laird]], ''Pegasus's'' deck chief, refers to events since "the war happened". Admiral Cain and her ''Pegasus'' crew seem to still consider fighting against the Cylons to be a war, while in the [[Miniseries]] Commander Adama admitts that "the war is over, we lost".
*Thrace's criticism of Taylor's reconnaissance plan - that the Cylons would never leave such an obvious blind spot unaccounted for - is the same criticism she made of Tigh's initial assault plan in "[[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]."
*There are problems with Admiral Cain's statement that she has broad authority due to being a flag officer on detached service during a time of war. The military command structure of the Colonial Fleet no longer exists on the Twelve Colonies. All existing Colonial authorities, both military and civilian, are right where Cain is, so she is not actually "detached" from anywhere. Also, Adama and Roslin decided that the official war is over, though Cain would obviously never accept that.
*The later ''Razor'' film establishes that one of Cain's top officers was [[Kendra Shaw]], who in retrospect becomes conspicuous by her absence in the course of events of this and the following two episodes. ''Razor'' establishes in dialogue a reason for Shaw not being evident during the post-"Resurrection Ship" episodes, but not her whereabouts during the events of the initial arc. (Presumably she was present, simply "off-camera" or assigned to duties that kept her away from the main action during this time.)

== Official Statements ==
*''In an [http://www.battlestargalactica.com/outside_docs/bg_outdoc0050.htm interview with BattlestarGalactica.com on December 28th, 2005] RDM was asked about controversy surrounding this episode:''

:"Q: Walt Kelly's Pogo used the phrase "the enemy is us" as part of a 1970's anti-litter campaign, and recently David Eick has cited it as a theme in the longer Pegasus arc of the second season. Some of the show's vocal critics charge that this notion promotes a "Blame America" attitude or is a sort of stealth anti-Americanism. What is this concept supposed to convey as we head into the bottom half of the second season?

:'''RDM:''' The reference is to the fact that human beings are often their own worst enemy. In the context of the show, it means that the real challenges to who and what these people are often comes not from bullets, but from within. I continue to be amazed at how easily one gets tagged with the moniker of "anti-American" these days by those on the right. It's almost... well, anti-American."

* ''From [http://www.thescifiworld.net/interviews/aaron_douglas_01.htm TheSciFiWorld.net's interview] with [[Aaron Douglas]]:''

: '''Gilles Nuytens:''' I read some critics about the "rape" scene shown in the last episode aired, as you played in this scene, what's your opinion on it?
: '''Aaron Douglas:''' BSG is a reflection of real life and these types of events go on everyday. Many people were upset by it but to me they need to realize that this is the world we live in. Does that mean they have or want to watch? Absolutely not but do not discount it as sensationalism. What we shot was so much more graphic than what was aired and I understand why they did not use it. In what aired the rape had not totally begun. It was suggestive. I thought it was a good scene and on point with the story and not added to draw in viewers. That suggestion is absurd. I know Ron Moore very well and he is not the kind of person or writer to add scenes purely for sensationalistic or ratings purposes. They have to be on point, truthfully reflect the situation and today's world and be relevant to the story or they are not there. It also amazes me that people have no problem with beatings, shootings, bombings, stabbings etc. but show a breast, a bottom, or a grope and they fly off the wall to condemn it.

: This happens in all areas of film, television and theatre and it is ridiculous.

* ''From [http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com/article.php?Article=2674 Hollywood North Report: Battlestar Galactica Set Visit, Part II], article on filming the [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I|series finale]] and an interview with [[Mary McDonnell]]:''

: '''Robert Falconer:''' Speaking of bleak, you had some pretty strong feelings about how people reacted to that rape scene at the end of Pegasus, and the overall problem of how violence against women tends to be portrayed on television.

: '''[[Mary McDonnell]]''': I have strong feelings about this as a woman; it’s a huge button for me, the issue of violence against women on television and how much of this stuff we’re going to pump out there before it becomes an accepted point of view that that’s what happens to women, and no-one takes responsibility and there’s no consequences.

:But there’s a big difference between crystallizing it inside a genre that doesn’t do it very often; making it part of one story one week, and the mainstream, non-sci-fi television where we become used to seeing women being raped and killed and mutilated—and other horrible things. ''That’s'' the sad thing.

:So for me, the fact that it was so upsetting to people when presented on ''Battlestar Galactica'' is a very good thing. It ''should'' be upsetting. It ''needs'' to be very, very upsetting. One ''should'' watch it and think, “I don’t want to see that!” We shouldn’t be using the fragility or vulnerability of the female body as a “technique” around which to build entertainment.

:I believe if ''Galactica'' were doing that sort of thing all the time, then the show would have a problem. But the way it was portrayed enables people to dialogue and talk about these sorts of things. Fires should be lit. And we should hear. Then you know if you’re in the ballpark of something that is really relevant, or if you’re being exploitive. And I have a lot of respect for the people who got upset as well as the people who wrote it.

* ''From [http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com/article.php?Article=2363 Hollywood North Report: Battlestar Galactica Set Visit, Part I], which includes an interview with [[Edward James Olmos]]:''

: '''Robert Falconer''': By the end of “Pegasus,” Adama makes a decision with potentially sweeping consequences, but one that logically follows from everything that has happened to him up to that point. Is this a decision he will be able to live with as a military leader?

: '''Edward James Olmos''': I think Adama’s decision to attack the ''Pegasus'' could be interpreted as strictly military in nature. You don’t leave anybody behind, and protecting your men is a fundamental tenet of any military leader. In fact, you could argue that he has no consideration for anyone OTHER than his military guys aboard the Pegasus—he’s not thinking about the fleet at that moment, he’s not even thinking about the future of either of those two battlestars, because they’re going to blast each other to bits, since he’s not going to give into Cain’s craziness.

: '''Robert''': The rape scene toward the end of “Pegasus” has stirred up a lot of controversy in certain quarters. Ironically, there seems to be something of a disconnect here; people seem more willing to accept this in contemporary mainstream drama than they do in television science fiction, almost as if they’ve become conditioned to science fiction presenting a sanitized view of the future. Any thoughts on that?

: '''Edward James Olmos''': Well for those who were particularly upset by the scene to which you refer, I pray to god they don’t watch because it’s only going to get worse. They should be warned right now: please turn off your television sets and do not watch this show because it’s only going to provide more insight into the complexities of what happens to human beings. I would say that the minority of people who were freaked out by the rape scene are likely to be jarred into unconsciousness. So I say to them: do not watch this program, it could be hazardous to your health.

: For everyone else, hang on, ‘cause it’s gonna be a helluva ride…

* ''[[Leah Cairns]] discusses a humorous incident while shooting the episode:''

: '''[[Leah Cairns]]:''' One of the funniest things shooting a specific scene happened when we were shooting a scene where ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' meets ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. A scene with [[Michelle Forbes]] in it when Forbes and [[William Adama|Adama]] see each other in the hangar deck. [[Edward James Olmos|Eddie [James Olmos]]] wandered off set in the middle of shooting. He thought we were on a little break, and he wandered off, and [[Michael Rymer]], the director didn't notice and called action! It was a close up on Michelle Forbes and Rymer had no idea that Eddie wasn't there. And Michelle Forbes being the professional that she is.... when the camera is rolling you do your business..... so she started the scene! But there was no one to respond to her! So [[James Callis]] nonchalantly comes over and steps into Eddie's place and puts on the best Adama voice you'd ever heard! Better than Eddie can do! (laughs) And they did the entire scene with Michelle and James Callis as Adama, and Michelle almost pulled it off, except [[Mary McDonnell|Mary [McDonnell]]] got the giggles and started laughing and then all the background started laughing and Michael Rymer, who STILL doesn't know that Eddie left, comes out and starts yelling at everybody because we were all laughing during the take! And then he looks around and says ....where the hell is Eddie and realizes that the whole scene was bogus!

: '''Gilles Nuytens:''' It seems funny yeah. What was the reaction of Michelle Forbes?

: '''Leah Cairns:''' She was so great! There was this tiny little hint.... you could see in her eyes just a tiny bit that... I think she thought she'd just go along with it until Michael Rymer actually figured it out. But Callis just steps in and starts talking like Adama.... so she just went with it! She was trying so hard to keep it together! Sometimes in situations like that some really great moments can come about and sometimes magic can happen on camera ...... but Mary just couldn't keep it together and started laughing and Michelle ... what can she do? She killed herself laughing! The only person who didn't laugh was Callis, he was dead pan through the entire thing. He was so set on playing Adama, he was just awesome!<ref name="sfw">{{cite_web|url=http://www.thescifiworld.net/interviews/leah_cairns_01.htm|title=The Scifi World: Leah Cairns interview|date=21 March 2007|accessdate=10 April 2007|last=Nuytens|first=Giles|format=|language=}}</ref>

== Noteworthy Dialogue ==

*{{audio|Pegasus - I'm here to help you.mp3|''Speaking to Gina''}}
:'''Baltar''': The food is yours. It's not a trick. I'm not going to take it away at the last second. You know, I...um...I'm just gonna talk right now. I don't expect you to say anything. Back on Caprica, before the attack—and sometimes I forget there was a world before the attack—I knew someone…a woman, unlike any other woman I'd ever known. She was unique. Beautiful, clever, intensely sensual. When she wasn't in my bed, she was in my thoughts. She was a Cylon. And she changed my life in a very real, very fundamental way in that I have quite literally never stopped thinking about her, because I love her. To this very day, I love her. And she looks exactly like you. My name is Gaius Baltar, and I'm here to help you.

* {{audio|Pegasus - I'm getting my men.mp3|''Cain and Adama are discussing Helo and Tyrol's court-martial over wireless''}}
:'''Adama''': You told me they'd get a fair trial. What kind of a trial could they have possibly had?
:'''Cain''': I assure you I heard them out. I weighed their statements against those of the guards and I took into consideration their service records and commendations. It was a difficult decision, Commander, but I dare say it was a fair one.
:'''Adama''': They have the right to have their case heard by a jury.
:'''Cain''': I am a flag officer on detached service during a time of war. Regulations give me broad authority in this matter.
:'''Adama''' (to Tigh): Launch the fighters. (to Cain): You can quote me whatever regulation you'd like. I'm not going to let you execute my men.
:'''Cain''': I highly suggest you reconsider that statement, Commander.
:'''Fisk''': Admiral, ''Galactica'' is launching Vipers and a Raptor.
:'''Cain''': Commander, why are you launching Vipers?
:'''Adama''': Please arrange for Chief Tyrol and Lieutenant Agathon to be handed over to my Marines as soon as they arrive.
:'''Cain''': I don't take orders from you!
:'''Adama''': Call it whatever you like. I'm getting my men.
:'''Cain''': You are making such a mistake.
:'''Adama''': I'm getting my men.
