		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;PHenry: /* First Hybrid */ Kara Thrace will lead the human race to its end...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The following are phrases uttered by the Cylon [[Hybrid]] heard by [[Gaius Baltar]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two protons expelled at each coupling site creates the mode of force, the embryo becomes a fish that we don&#039;t enter until a plate, we&#039;re here to experience evolve the little toe, atrophy, don&#039;t ask me how I&#039;ll be dead in a thousand light years, thank you, thank you. Genesis turns to its source, reduction occurs stepwise though the essence is all one. End of line. FTL system check, diagnostic functions within parameters repeats the harlequin the agony exquisite, the colors run the path of ashes, fifty-two percent of heat exchange cross-collateralized with hyper-dimensional matrix, upper senses, repair ordered relay to zero zero zero zero ([[Torn]]).&lt;br /&gt;
* Mists of dreams drip along the nascent echo and love no more. End of line.&lt;br /&gt;
* The five lights of the apocalypse rising struggling towards the light, the sins revealed only to those who enter the temple only to the chosen one. (Staring at Baltar:) The chosen one. The chosen one. The chosen one. The chosen one.&lt;br /&gt;
* One degree angle nominal. Seascape portrait of the woman child cavern of the soul. Under pressure-heat ratio ides of evolutions have buried their fears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Gestalt therapy and escape clauses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Throughout history the nexus between man and machine has spun some of the most dramatic, compelling and entertaining fiction.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;This is a breakdown of the [[w:Fourth wall|fourth wall]], as it is a comment about science fiction.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* (Grasping Baltar) Intelligence. A mind that burns like a fire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light. In the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow ([[The Passage]]). &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;These two lines are quoted in the music for &amp;quot;[[Rapture]]&amp;quot; as [[Music of Battlestar Galactica (RDM)#Temple of Five theme|theme for the Temple of Five]] and sung in Latin.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== First Hybrid ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[first Hybrid]] also says several prophetic phrases, although his are far more coherent ([[Razor]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* At last, they’ve come for me. I feel their lives, their destinies spilling out before me. The denial of the one true path, played out on a world not their own, will end soon enough. Soon there will be [[Final Five|four, glorious in awakening]], struggling with the knowledge of their true selves, the pain of revelation bringing new clarity, and in the midst of confusion, he will find her. Enemies brought together by impossible longing, enemies now joined as one. The way forward at once unthinkable, yet inevitable. And the fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering. I can see them all. The seven, now six, self-described machines who believe themselves without sin, but in time, it is sin that will consume them. They will know enmity, bitterness, the wrenching agony of the one splintering into the many, and then they will join the promised land, gathered on the wings of an angel. Not an end, but a beginning.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Kara Thrace]] will lead the human race to its end. She is the herald of the Apocalypse, the harbinger of death. They must not follow her.&lt;br /&gt;
*As my own existence comes to a close, only to begin anew, in ways uncertain.&lt;br /&gt;
*All this has happened before, and it will happen again...again...again...again...again...again...again...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Everything turns on its head as the survivors vote for a new president -- and vote for their fate.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Summary == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On Caprica===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]], the marines, and the [[resistance (movement)|resistance]] continue to take fire from Cylon centurions and artillery.  They make their way up a hill, and hold their position.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Cylons hold fire, and Sharon remarks that the Cylons will attempt to capture them with non-lethal weapons, such as gas.&lt;br /&gt;
*Eighteen hours later, they emerge to find that the Cylons have disappeared.  [[Cavil]] -- who suddenly appears behind them -- announces that the Cylons have left the Twelve Colonies and that humanity was spared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===In the Fleet===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Cally]] is cleared back to work by [[Cottle|Dr. Cottle]], despite having her jaw wired shut (which elicits a sexist observation from the doctor).  [[Tyrol|Chief Tyrol]] visits her, apologizing for the attack.  Cally forgives him, saying that she&#039;s always cared for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gaius Baltar|Dr. Baltar]] continues to gain in the polls.  On &#039;&#039;[[Colonial One]]&#039;&#039;, Tory mentions there&#039;s always a victory plan.  [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]] later calls a private meeting with Dr. Baltar, asking to deliver a joint statement of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_%28verb%29 tabling] the issue of colonization until after the election, which Baltar rejects. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] returns to &#039;&#039;[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]&#039;&#039;, with the resistance fighters, much to the delight of Admiral Adama.  She mentions the fact that the Cylons have left Caprica, and a man appearing to be Brother Cavill confirms it.  He also says he has a message, but is attacked by Chief Tyrol, claiming he&#039;s a Cylon.  Both Cavill and Caprica-Sharon are escorted to the brig under marine guard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The other Cavill (from last episode) is also taken to the brig, claiming he&#039;s not a Cylon, but changes his tune upon seeing his &amp;quot;brother&amp;quot;, as he calls him.  Both Cavills then talk about the fact that the “war heroes” (Caprica Six &amp;amp; &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;-Sharon) have talked about how the attack of the colonies and the pursuit of the fleet were mistakes.  They were told to relay the message that man and Cylon will go their separate ways.  Both Roslin and Admiral Adama are less than trusting regarding the message.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Election Day has arrived and Baltar has an apparent five thousand-vote lead over Roslin with only a few ships left.  On &#039;&#039;Colonial One&#039;&#039;, Tory makes a call to &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;, putting a plan into action.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Amazingly, Roslin initially appears to have retained the presidency.  While most are celebrating, Lt. Gaeta makes a starting discovery regarding the votes, and informs the Admiral that Col. Tigh may be involved in a conspiracy to throw the election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Admiral Adama confronts Roslin regarding the conspiracy, saying he has a confession to rig the vote.  Roslin admits her involvement and Adama is disappointed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Baltar is informed of his nomination as President.  He&#039;s less than pleased, vowing to have full investigation in time.  President-elect Baltar then orders a course for “New Caprica”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gaius Baltar]] is sworn in as the new President of the Twelve Colonies, and orders the immediate colonization of New Caprica.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;[[Cloud 9]]&#039;&#039; is destroyed by a nuclear blast, Gina being present before the explosion; in addition to the  &#039;&#039;Cloud 9&#039;&#039;, at least two other ships are destroyed in the blast.  Admiral Adama reports to the president that this may be a Cylon attack, but Baltar ignores him and presses forward with colonization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===One Year Later===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Felix Gaeta|Mr. Gaeta]] is reporting to the President regarding a Union issue aboard Colonial One, now down on the planet.  Baltar is upset, saying there have been no Cylon attacks but the people still complain.  He has regressed, turning to alcohol, medication, and womanizing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Admiral Adama, now donning a mustache, is walking around a near-empty Galactica, the ship falling into disarray.  Over half of the crew has moved down to the planet, and they are running on such a skeleton crew that they barely have enough pilots to fly training missions, much less a good CAP.  Adama has a discussion with Tigh about going down to the planet, which Tigh reluctantly agrees to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Samuel Anders|Anders]], now Kara’s husband, is sick with pneumonia. Dr. Cottle is saying he can’t do much for him, saying there are no antibiotics available, but he is young and healthy, and with a little luck he &amp;quot;should&amp;quot; pull through.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Kara runs into the Tighs as [[Tyrol]], now a union boss, is making a speech to begin a strike, a pregnant Cally by his side.  Saul mentions that Pegasus keeps the backup medical supplies and that Apollo would spring some for Starbuck.  Starbuck disagrees, which prompts Tigh to state that Apollo would be &amp;quot;over that by now&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Kara calls Lee aboard Pegasus to requesting medication.  Lee&#039;s gained a lot of weight in the past year.  Dualla is now an officer, serving by Lee Adama&#039;s side in Pegasus&#039; CIC. Before Lee can reply, Dualla catches something on [[DRADIS]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A fleet of [[Cylon]] [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]]s arrive in orbit around New Caprica.  The Adamas are having a discussion about what to do, when [[Helo]] asks if alert fighters should be launched.   Admiral Adama keeps them in as the defense fleet jumps away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Mr. Gaeta informs the President of the Cylon approach.  Later, before his assembled staff, copies of Number 5, 8, and 6 approach the President.  The Cylons declare that as long as there’s no resistance, no harm will come.  President Baltar declares surrender on behalf of the colonists, and as Cylon armies occupy the planet, Kara vows to resist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Questions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*What &amp;quot;number&amp;quot; is Cavil?&lt;br /&gt;
*Was Roslin&#039;s threat to put the two Cavils into space actually carried out?&lt;br /&gt;
**Most likely not, she had the election on her mind, much to do, and didn&#039;t actually make it an order. Baltar would have been unlikely to vent them into space.&lt;br /&gt;
*Where did the defense fleet jump to?&lt;br /&gt;
**Likely a prearranged rendezvous point, similar to that of the miniseries.&lt;br /&gt;
*Where is Caprica-Sharon?&lt;br /&gt;
**Most likely, still in &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;&#039;s brig. This is probably why Helo is still aboard ship, having taken a CIC officer&#039;s position.&lt;br /&gt;
**In the podcast, Ron Moore vaguely hinted that they hadn&#039;t forgotten about Sharon, but that we&#039;d have to &amp;quot;wait and see&amp;quot;.  Apparently, several of the early season 3 episodes will have flashbacks dealing with events that took place in the year that passed.&lt;br /&gt;
*What happened to Zarek?&lt;br /&gt;
*Why is Leoben looking for Starbuck, specifically?&lt;br /&gt;
** Could it be the same [[Leoben Conoy]] that Starbuck interrogated in &amp;quot;[[Flesh and Bone]]&amp;quot;?&lt;br /&gt;
*** As seen with &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;-Sharon, it is distinctly possible that that particular Leoben was lying when he said he&#039;d actually die and not download.  &lt;br /&gt;
*Did the Cavils lie about the pursuit of humanity being a mistake?  Or were they telling the truth?&lt;br /&gt;
** If they were telling the truth, perhaps not all Cylons are readily able to admit and rectify their mistakes as the Cavils believed.&lt;br /&gt;
*Why has the population (until Tyrol&#039;s recent union speech) accepted Baltar&#039;s imperious rule?  People were hardly so passive under Roslin.  Indeed, Adama executed a military coup over a rather less important issue than giving a nuclear weapon to a Cylon agent.&lt;br /&gt;
**Admiral Adama wasn&#039;t conclusive as to how the weapon got on board Cloud Nine.&lt;br /&gt;
***Baltar pointed out there have been no attacks since he took office.  Under Roslin the attacks were common.  Perhaps for a year the people decided they preferred the safety Baltar gave them to their liberties.&lt;br /&gt;
**Well they did vote them in, and perhaps the struggle of trying to survive on this planet is distracting their attention. That being said, there is a Union fight, and Baltar does seem quite weary of constantly fighting battles, so I don&#039;t think it&#039;s been particularly smooth or easy presidency.&lt;br /&gt;
*Are the Six and Eight that Baltar surrendered to [[Caprica-Six]] and [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|&#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039;-Sharon]]?&lt;br /&gt;
**Judging from Six&#039;s reaction to Baltar, almost definitely.&lt;br /&gt;
*Where did the Cylon fleets go, after they left the Twelve Colonies?  Cavil was deliberately vague when asked if they simply returned to the [[Cylon homeworld]].&lt;br /&gt;
*How many people died in the Cloud Nine explosion?&lt;br /&gt;
**The Cloud Nine explosion also destroyed ships near it. Given the stated size of the New Caprica population along with subtracting the minimal crew sizes needed to maintain the ships in orbit, you can estimate that approximately 3000 to 5000 people died.&lt;br /&gt;
*Actually, we have no idea how many people were still crewing the civilian ships in the Fleet when &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Pegasus&#039;&#039; jumped away, so it could actually have been thousands less than that.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Gina-Six was instantly vaporized due to being only two feet from a nuclear detonation, did she still transmit her consciousness? Was she even capable of transmitting considering that any internal hardware responsible for this task would have been instantly destroyed?&lt;br /&gt;
**They have already established that with the [[Resurrection Ship]] destroyed, Cylons in the fleet that are killed will &#039;&#039;actually&#039;&#039; die. Gina expressed suicidal impulses as early as &amp;quot;[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Given Roslin&#039;s memories of Baltar with Six, why didn&#039;t Admiral Adama suspect Baltar of handing over the nuke to the cylons? If he did suspect him, why not act on it?&lt;br /&gt;
**He had no real proof.&lt;br /&gt;
*Did the events of &amp;quot;One Year Later&amp;quot; actually happen, or were they a dream or vision sequence given to Baltar?&lt;br /&gt;
**Although Baltar has had elaborate visions in the past, this vision left Baltar&#039;s point of view several times, addressing issues such as the marriage of Kara to Sam Anders and Adama&#039;s friendship with Tigh that are of little knowledge or importance to Baltar.&lt;br /&gt;
***Ron D. Moore has stated in interviews that the first 4-5 episodes of season 3 will deal with the Cylon occupation of New Caprica, and unless a vast swath of episodes is going to be a dream sequence, all of these &amp;quot;one year later&amp;quot; events &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; happen.&lt;br /&gt;
***Moore actually discusses this in the podcast, saying that many people might just assume this is a dream, or a &#039;&#039;Dallas&#039;&#039;-like season-erasing shower-dream episode, but he thought it was a bold decision to jump ahead a full year, and have all of it be definitely real.&lt;br /&gt;
*Why was it so easy for Adama to hide the collusion of the rigged election from the press, and why were there no consequences?&lt;br /&gt;
**So far as we know, Adama, Tigh, Gaeta, Dualla, Dualla&#039;s two associates, Tory, and Roslin are the only people that knew; 6 are military personnel, 4 of whom would be implicated, and the other 2 were directly involved civilians. All are strongly motivated to conceal the information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Why would it take the Cylons over one year to find New Caprica, alerted by the nuclear detonation prior to the inhabitation of the planet?&lt;br /&gt;
**It was stated in the previous episode that the interference from the gas cloud surrounding it would hide the planet fairly well. The Cylons were slightly over a light year away, according to the Number Five. Searching something as large as the gas cloud likely is for a planet or fleet is, given the sensor range limitations, quite impressive to accomplish in months, even with general directional information from a light-year out.&lt;br /&gt;
***Actually with the Cylon base 1 light year away, it would take 1 year for the nuke to show up on the Cylon sensors.  Short of some FTL communication system, that&#039;s the only way the Cylons would have been able to detect the planet.  Since the fleet is all in within non-FTL distances, all the FTL devices, if any exist would likely have been destroyed or disabled.   &lt;br /&gt;
*If the Cylons really left the Twelve Colonies, leaving behind a nuked-out wasteland, what happened to all of the human captives in the [[Farms]]?&lt;br /&gt;
*Why have the Cylons returned? According to [[Cavil]], the two races were to go their &amp;quot;separate ways&amp;quot;. The Cylons may have been worried about the humans retaliating at some point in the future, but the location of the Cylon world(s) is still unknown to the humans, so ensuring the safety of their society presumably isn&#039;t the motive behind the occupation of [[New Caprica]].&lt;br /&gt;
**This assumes that the Cylons were being honest in their announcement of withdrawl from all Human contact and association.  It is possible that this was a tactical feint and the Cylons went looking for possible alternate locations where the Humans could have resettled.&lt;br /&gt;
*Will the Cylons resume their pursuit of the Fleet?&lt;br /&gt;
*How many people are left in the Fleet?&lt;br /&gt;
**The population of New Caprica City is given as 39,192. There were just under 50,000 people in the Fleet before establishing the settlement, so that gives a figure of roughly 10,000, ignoring any births and deaths that have taken place during the year since the election. This almost certainly means that both &#039;&#039;Galactica&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Pegasus&#039;&#039; will be extremely short on crew, as many military personnel will have been left on the planet. There was clearly no time to retrieve even selected members of the crews before the Fleet jumped.&lt;br /&gt;
***Will the Adamas resort to Cain&#039;s tactic of conscripting civilians to fill the gaps?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Analysis ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Baltar&#039;s arrogance seems to have led to corrupt rule during his year on New Caprica—he replaces Roslin&#039;s modest desk with a larger, elaborate one, replaces the population count whiteboard with a portrait of himself, and keeps a harem aboard the landed Colonial One.&lt;br /&gt;
*After a whole year, everyone is still living in tents. There is a vital shortage of medicine, the military is of no use, and labor conditions are apparently intolerable. Baltar&#039;s administration is apparently as incompetent as Roslin feared. &lt;br /&gt;
**It is not clear whether these conditions are the result of admimistrative incompetence or the inherent difficulties of colonizing a marginally habitable planet.&lt;br /&gt;
***Of course, it was Baltar&#039;s idea to settle on a marginally habitable planet in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;
*It&#039;s ironic that the obligations of duty keep Lee Adama aboard Pegasus while everyone else goes planetside—he is a reserve officer, and promised to build his pilots a bar as soon as they found a habitable planet.&lt;br /&gt;
*Ron Moore has once again decided to play with viewer&#039;s expectations; in the podcast for &amp;quot;[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]&amp;quot; Moore commented on how everyone assumed that &#039;&#039;Pegasus&#039;&#039; would be destroyed by the end of the episode, and thus he thought it would be a good twist to keep &#039;&#039;Pegasus&#039;&#039; alive as another ship in the Fleet.  Here, many viewers assumed that the nuke that Baltar gave to Gina in &amp;quot;[[Epiphanies]]&amp;quot; would be used to destroy &#039;&#039;Pegasus&#039;&#039; this time, but it wasn&#039;t.&lt;br /&gt;
*29 people died between this episode and the preceding one?  One or two Raptors were lost, and some Marines died on Caprica, but that doesn&#039;t seem high enough.&lt;br /&gt;
**Is it possible they took out all of the people who left in the raptors because they were not apart of the fleet at the end of the previous episode?&lt;br /&gt;
***They didn&#039;t remove Starbuck from the count when she left for Caprica at the beginning of Season 2.&lt;br /&gt;
*It seems odd that no mention was made of the casualties on the return from Caprica, just jubilant celebration?&lt;br /&gt;
**Although they didn&#039;t actually talk about the losses, there was a shot of a wounded person being taken away on a stretcher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;According to Ron Moore&#039;s podcast, although Scifi Channel was willing to air this episode as a 90-minute special, it had to be heavily edited down for international distribution; outside of the United States, viewers will only see a 1 hour version of the episode, which Moore regards as &amp;quot;almost incomprehensible&amp;quot;.&#039;&#039;&#039; Many plot threads, such as the entire Cally/Tyrol subplot, were completely removed from the one hour version.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ron Moore&#039;s podcast for episode 13, [[Epiphanies]], states that the Nuke given to Gina will come back in this episode, to the benefit of the Cylons.&lt;br /&gt;
*In RDM&#039;s podcast for the previous episode, he said that in early drafts of this special 90 minute long episode, the writers actually tried to make it a 2 hour special, but this was soon dropped (these times are including commercials).&lt;br /&gt;
*The election board appears to have a definitive list of the names of all of the ships in [[The Fleet (RDM)]].  Not all of them are clearly visible, but this would seem to indicate that the writers do have an actual list that they get new ship names from.  Ship names visible on the chart are:  Demetrius, Diomedes, Embla Brokk, Enkidu, Epheme, Galactica, Gideon, Gemenon Traveller, Greenleaf, Monarch, Odysseus, Pegasus, Persephone, Prometheus, Swordfish&lt;br /&gt;
*The framed photo of President Roslin and [[Billy Keikeya]] was still on her desk during the election.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Roslin &amp;quot;won&amp;quot; the rigged election results, Roslin received 24,265 votes, while Baltar recieved 22,266.  This means that the elligible voters in the Fleet number 46,531.  In the podcast, RDM explains that he quickly came up with these numbers, to try to reflect roughly how many survivors are below the voting age.&lt;br /&gt;
*Toward the end of the episode, President Baltar refers to a government body called the &amp;quot;People&#039;s Council&amp;quot;. This may be the proportionally elected lower house mentioned in by RDM in his [http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/archives/2005/01/index.html#a000016 blog post] on January 30, 2005.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hera]] is seen on New Caprica in the same white cradle that Baltar had a vision of her being in in &amp;quot;[[Scattered]]&amp;quot;, etc.  According to RDM&#039;s podcast it&#039;s actually the exact same cradle.&lt;br /&gt;
*Tyrol&#039;s union speech is an almost word for word quote of Mario Savio&#039;s address during the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley in 1964.  According to Ron Moore and David Eick in the podcast, they even got permission from Savio&#039;s widow to use it (even though, due to the way copyright laws work from back then, they could have just used it without permission, they felt they should get it).  As a result, it&#039;s even listed in the credits: &amp;quot;Mario Savio speech excerpted courtesy of: Lynne Hollander Savio&amp;quot;.  Actor Aaron Douglas (Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]]) actually studied film of Savio, so all of the hand gestures Tyrol makes when he gives the speech are  gestures that Savio actually used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Noteworthy Dialogue ==&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Dr. Cottle decides Cally is ready to return to duty:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Cottle:&#039;&#039;&#039; You&#039;re done here. I&#039;m kickin&#039; you out of here and sending you back to work.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Cally:&#039;&#039;&#039; (muffled, because her jaw is immobilized) Work??? Like this?&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Cottle:&#039;&#039;&#039; You gotta love a woman who can complain even with her jaw wired shut.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;The Cylons occupy New Caprica:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Tyrol:&#039;&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;What do we do now, Captain?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Starbuck:&#039;&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Same thing we always do. Fight them until we can&#039;t.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Trying to bring order to a Union meeting:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Tyrol:&#039;&#039;&#039; Everyone, please be quiet.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Cally:&#039;&#039;&#039; Hey! Shut the frak up! (&#039;&#039;crowd quiets down&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Admiral Adama:&#039;&#039;&#039; We&#039;re leaving.  But we&#039;ll be back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
