<br />
Other TV shows have had [[Wikipedia:Drinking game|drinking games]] adapted from the venerable "Hi, Bob!" game, among others. The new "[[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]]" series has sadly failed to stop ''Battlestar Wiki's'' contributors from doing the same after noticing repeated plot points, parallels to current events, characterizations, and other silliness.<br />
<br />
You might consider creating your own ''Cylon Shooters'' for use in the game by [[Cylon Shooter|following the recipe]] given by actors [[Grace Park]] and [[Tahmoh Penikett]].<br />

==Official Statements==<br />
<br />
From a ''Rolling Stone'' September 2006 Magazine interview of [[Katee Sackhoff]]<br />
<br />
:"Four years ago, I had older men and twelve-year-olds coming up to me," she says. "Now I get sorority girls telling me, 'We watch the show and drink every time you say "frak," hit someone or sleep with someone.' And I'm thinking, 'This is why I didn't go to college.'"<br />

<div>I'm not one to usually use the phrase "slam dunk", but this separation of the two Sharons into two character pages is ''Fantastic''!--[[User:Ricimer|Ricimer]] 20:04, 27 January 2006 (EST)<br />
<br />
==Cylon "Agent"?==<br />
Maybe it's too soon to be certain, I don't think the template should state that Sharon Agathon is a Cylon AGENT. She's a Cylon, but a Colonial officer. She's not currently understood to be under the control of Cylon programming, so is she really their AGENT? If we changed the template for all cylons to say "(blank) is a Cylon" I think that would be the most accurate. It would also resonate with dialogues in many episodes like Doral ("I'm not a Cylon!"), Boomer ("I'm a frakking Cylon!"), and Baltar ("Am I a Cylon!?") --[[User:Rocky8311|Rocky8311]] 06:24, 11 December 2006 (CST)<br />
:My two cents: Here, on Battlestar Wiki, "Cylon agent" is a humanoid Cylon, as opposed to a [[Cylon Centurion]] robot. As the [[Cylon agent]] article shows pictorally, this is a canonical term. While Agathon deserves special consideration, she is still a Cylon, albeit not by loyalty. In contrast, Baltar is working with the Cylons, if not "for." Would he be called anything else? Maybe. But, because of the limitations we must impose here for purposes of encyclopedic concision, it's better not to try to break and fix our templates for what's not really broken. Agathon's special exception is heavily noted throughout many articles. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 07:00, 11 December 2006 (CST)<br />
::Yeah, it's used merely to represent them. Despite the fact that they're official name is simply "Cylons", since they are the basic form of that race, we use "Agents" to avoid any possible confusion. --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 07:04, 11 December 2006 (CST)<br />
:I would agree with [[User:Rocky8311|Rocky8311]]'s suggesting to rename the template to "(blank) is a Cylon". I wondered about that template a few times myself actually, and I really don't think that referring to every humanoid Cylon as an ''agent'' avoids confusion. [[User:Sloan|Sloan]] 11:35, 11 December 2006 (CST)<br />
I think "cylon agent" is both inaccurate and misleading, even if that is the template. The only thing that is for sure is that she is a cylon by race, and hence I think that should be the only thing stated. [[User:Thorn|Thorn]] 02:11, 25 January 2007 (CST)<br />
<br />
==Ragnar Valerii==<br />
On re-viewing, it seems to me that Ragnar Valerii is almost certainly Caprica Valerii. Why else would she be wearing a Colonial flight suit? On the other hand, what is she doing all the way at Ragnar rather than preparing for her mission on Caprica? Are there so few of her that she had to pull double duty that week? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 18:36, 30 December 2005 (EST)<br />
<br />
:That shes wearing the uniform is more likely a mistake, they hadn't thought of Caprica Valerii when they made the mini-series. Still, the two being one and the same is a good way to explain away said mistake. Her Caprica misson wouldn't really take any preparation, and the Cylons would probably make very efficient use of personnel.--[[User:Undc23|Undc23]] 19:18, 30 December 2005 (EST)<br />
<br />
:I disagree on this one. We know that there are dozens, nay, hundreds of duplicates of each Cylon model. Plus we don't know how they can share information. Further, Team Anders said that they had seen Cylons in uniform before, implying that it is ''not'' an uncommon sight or rare to see them in one. This combined with the other evidence leads me to thing that there is no real reason to '''assume''' one way or the other that it's the same one. --[[User:Ricimer|Ricimer]] 21:06, 30 December 2005 (EST)<br />

:::Sharon just likes to wear Colonial flight suits, just like Doral likes to wear Colonial professional attire and Six likes to wear sexy Colonial dresses.

Or--Humano-Cylons are individuals and dress (or not) as individuals and groups. Those aboard the Basestar had formed a community of sorts which saw no particular reason for clothes. The Sharon at Ragnar was one of those who--for reasons of her own (identification with her "sleeper" sister perhaps?) decided to wear a flight suit.

==Caprica Sharon lies?==<br />
Is Caprica Sharon lying about what she knows about the Cylons, and what she knows about the members of Galactica? Manipulating Starbuck in [[Scar]]? It seems given what we learned about Cylons in [[Downloaded]], she should not necessarily have the memories she claims to have. [[User:Huh?|Huh?]] 10:31, 2 March 2006 (CST)<br />
:Matters of pure speculation; we've actually seen nothing that hints or implies that she is really hiding anything; personally, I don't think she is. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] 13:22, 2 March 2006 (CST)<br />
[[User:brotondi|brotondi]] 14.5.06 This is a very interesting point which is not clear yet - and I think also the director will still work on this idea: How identical are copies? How does memory transfer between copies work? ... For me it was one of the greatest moments when Caprica Sharon says to Adama strangling her "And you ask WHY?" - for me referencing on the scene Adama cried on the dead Galactica Sharon. Is this reference not possible? Makes nothing, was great and for me: TV does not have to be 100% error free and exact. It has to be our pleasure, visualizing our imaginations, our ideas, our dreams... And it was time we got the answer from a question directed to a dead person :)<br />
<br />
::In the podcast, Ron Moore mentions that when Caprica-Sharon says "Why?" she is referring to Adama's question about "Why" humanity deserves to survive in the Miniseries, and that yeah it was confusing to put a scene of Adama asking "WHy" about something else in the same episode. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 18:45, 15 May 2006 (CDT)<br />

<br />
== Nomenclature (Galactica/Caprica-Sharon)==<br />
As stated in the article, it is becoming increasingly confusing to identify the two Eight models with their season one substitute names "Galactica-Sharon" and "Caprica-Sharon". Grace Park explained in several interviews, she herself – hence most of the crew presumably – began distinguishing them by calling Galactica-Sharon "Boomer" and Caprica-Sharon "Sharon". This seems to be a less bewildering (and more logical) way to designate both Cylons, therefore I would suggest at least to mention this form of distinction in the individual Number Eight articles or even to introduce "Boomer" and "Sharon" as generally acknowledged short names for the two characters within the Battlestar Wiki. --Enemy<br />
<br />
:Welcome to BattlestarWiki, Enemy. You were not here when we did this, but "Caprica-Sharon" and "Galactica-Sharon" are actually the names we assigned them to ''avoid'' confusion. Over the past few months, this convention has actually proved very helpful and I'm sorry if you weren't used to it when you first arrived. Grace Park's thing from that article is actually kind of confusing and I hope that one day she learns of our conventions----->'''More to the point, the production team itself started adopting this fan-naming convention when they started using the name "[[Caprica-Six]]" on air'''. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 14:18, 7 April 2006 (CDT)<br />
<br />
The Merovingian is right, Enemy- Yes, the cast and crew use Boomer and Sharon, but that's more convienient in spoken conversation. When it comes to text, Galactica/Caprica distinction is simpler. Yes, both are a bit confusing, but they are confusing to different people-I know people who will have more of a problem with Boomer/Sharon than Caprica/Galactica. As for the interviews, Tricia Helfer has consistently used the term "humanoid Cylons" to describe herself, Lucy Lawless, and the other models, but it has not been established as the official term by anyone- if every member of the cast and crew used the Boomer/Sharon system, fine, but Eick and RDM have both called Boomer "Sharon", which proves it's no more official than our system.- [[User:Ragestorm|Ragestorm]] 14:30, 7 April 2006 (CDT)<br />
:Well said Ragestorm. I mean her personal thing isn't widespread, RDM used both interchangeably, etc. However, by late season 2, they came up with the name "Caprica-Six", and if anyone here thinks that isn't a subtle reference to our fan naming convention, well, I mean it's not just here; ''Every'' website I've been on, official messageboards, GalacticaStation, we all just eventually started doing that. TelevisionwithoutPity.com formalized it, with a list of "Pegasus-Six = Six from Pegasus" etc etc etc. I personally think/hope that "Caprica-Six" is a sign that they've tacityly adopted the fan naming convention in the writers room. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 14:44, 7 April 2006 (CDT)<br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
In Occupation, her name was given as Sharon Agathon. Should we rename the article to that? --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 21:21, 6 October 2006 (CDT)<br />

::In which case the other one should become simply Sharon Valerii. [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 00:23, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::Disagree on that point, since there's still ambiguity present during the first two seasons. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 01:25, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
::::Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy) redirects to Sharon Agathon, and Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy) will redirect to Sharon Valerii, so anyone searching using those terms will be okay. Anyone searching for Sharon Valerii will go to Boomer's page and see the disambiguation heading telling them to go to Sharon Agathon if they were looking for her, so that's no real problem. Also, wouldn't it be more precise for this page to be "Sharon Valerii Agathon", like "Cally Henderson Tyrol"? [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 09:29, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::Cally, it would seem, chose to take her husband's name while keeping her maiden name. Sharon did not neccessarily go the same route, and may have dropped "Valerii" all together. As Adama used "Sharon Agathon" to swear her in, I say that's pretty good evidence that that is officially and legally her name. Unless she's referred to as "Sharon Valerii Agathon" in the future, I say we stick with this name. [[User:Alpha5099|Alpha5099]] 11:15, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
::::::That's what I was thinking. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 11:17, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::::That makes sense, but why don't we change Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy) to Sharon Valerii ("Boomer"), since that's a more accurate distinction, one which is actually used in the show. [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 11:58, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
::::::::Well, we could make G-Boomer's page just "Sharon Valerii," since there is a Number Eight and Sharon Agathon page that distingushes the other models. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 12:26, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::::::No. To repeat - someone searching for "Sharon Valerii" during the first two seasons should be sent to a disambig page, not G-Sharon's page. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 12:53, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
::::::::::Okay, I can understand that. I guess we could keep the title as it is now, that could work. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 12:58, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::::::::Sharon Valerii ("Boomer") is the most logical title. She's called Boomer repeatedly on the show, never Galactica-Sharon. Sharon Agathon is always Sharon. [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 13:39, 7 October 2006 (CDT) <br />
::::::::::::I'd settle for "Sharon "Boomer" Valerii", but I prefer the "(Galactica copy)" nomenclature, as it matches our current nomenclature for Cylon copies and is extendable to future copies. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 13:43, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::::::::::Calling them by place names works well enough informally, but "Boomer" is a distinguishing point between them from the show itself, and is less confusing now that she's not on Galactica. The only Cylon officially referred to by place name nomenclature is Caprica-Six. Number Three, who calls that Six, "Caprica", calls Boomer, "Boomer". This is the nomenclature being used by the characters. [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 13:51, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
::::::::::::::Your argument is persuasive, but I'm a little concerned that S. Agathon will use "Boomer" as her call sign now that she's an officer. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 14:12, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::::::::::::Nothing points to that. I have a feeling that they'll reduce confusion by just keeping her as "Sharon". [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 14:42, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::::::::::::Or, she could easily just as much use another call sign for fear of the "taint" on the "Boomer" call sign. Hell, she may end up calling herself "Sheba". ^_^ Seriously, while I suspect that she'll end up with a call sign, I don't think it'll be Boomer, and I think we could easily assign that to G-Sharon.--<font color="#4b0082">'''[[User:Mitsukai|み使い]]'''</font> <font color="#2f4f4f">'''''[[User_talk:Mitsukai|Mitsukai]]'''''</font> 10:49, 8 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
::::::On top of it, S&C states that we should use First Name Last Name unless the middle name is needed for disambiguation. BTW, do we have any canon source that Cally kept "Henderson" as her middle name, or did it just seem logical? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 12:51, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
<br />
:Also agree. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 01:24, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
<br />
:Regarding the callsign, in [http://galactica-station.blogspot.com/2006/10/recalling-callis.html this transcript] of a James Callis interview, she is referred to as Sharon ''"Athena"'' Agathon. Maybe Mitsukai is onto something! But probably just a typo... --[[User:Noindiecred|Noindiecred]] 13:35, 12 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
::Let's wait until it's actually used in an official source. Sounds good, and I was hoping for a different callsign, although it means LOTS of [[Athena|disambiguration]] here. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 19:58, 12 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== "Valerii" was never her last name ==<br />
<br />
This article has a name convention problem throughout the text. "Valerii" is used as her quasi maiden name, but she never used that surname at all (see [[Talk:Sharon Valerii]]). I'm not sure how to change it though. Two possible solutions would be (1) calling her "Sharon" until she is married to Helo which would be informal, but probably most accurate, or (2) calling her "Agathon" right from the start. Maybe you have other suggestions. -- [[User:Enemy|Enemy]] 15:48, 29 October 2006 (CST)<br />
<br />
:The use of first names only is against [[BW:SAC]] because of issues with informality. While this character was on Caprica, she uses the Sharon Valerii identity (if not necessarily speaking it) with Helo. There are no other aliases for the Eight models. The use of "Caprica-Valerii" or simply Valerii, from an encyclopedic viewpoint ''in this article'', minimizes confusion here. The article's content using her married name should change only in season 3 descriptions in her article. While [[Gina]]'s name was never spoken in dialogue, it doesn't hold true that that was not the character's name, per numerous podcasts by Ron Moore. I would rather hold to convention here than to quibble over what is an already confusing process to differentiate the Cylon models. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 13:23, 30 October 2006 (CST)<br />
<br />
:I strongly agree, she should not be called Valerii in the text. This is factually wrong and only creates unnecessary confusion. Formality should not be more important than accuracy. The best solution would be to use some clever phrases as long as she assumed Valerii's identity (This second Valerii ...) and then refer to her as Sharon, because that is her only known name at this point. It could even be explaining (and justified) in the text that she identified herself with that name to Helo. [[User:Sloan|Sloan]] 09:27, 28 November 2006 (CST)<br />
<br />
::The number 8 model on Caprica during season one was using the ''Sharon Valerii'' identity, just as the Galactica copy was. That the Caprica agent didn't have much opportunity to use her last name isn't really relevant, in my opinion.--[[User:Hylas|Hylas]] 10:59, 28 November 2006 (CST)<br />
:::Of course she used Valerii's identity during season one, but I think it is inappropriate to use the name of an alias of hers in the text until events at the end of season two. When she identifies herself to Helo as a different Sharon, she should no longer be called Valerii. [[User:Sloan|Sloan]] 11:52, 28 November 2006 (CST)<br />
<br />
== Pegasus ==<br />
<br />
''She frequently provides intelligence, but is severely mistreated by an interrogator from Pegasus who beats and sexually assaults her.''<br />
<br />
This makes it sound like it was a recurring thing. The Pegasus interrogator tried doing it only once, when he was stopped and killed by Helo and Tyrol. --[[User:DrBat|DrBat]] 13:23, 8 November 2006 (CST)<br />

== No Photo in Uniform? ==<br />
<br />
It's been months since the episode aired in which she was commissioned. Are there no good (close-up or profile) photos of her in a Colonial Fleet uniform? It would seem to be a significant improvement to her character bio if one were at the top of the page instead of her shackled pic.[[Image:Sharon_Agathon_LTjg.jpg|thumb|right|Here's a small one, for instance.]]<br />

==Caprica Sharon lies?==<br />
Is Caprica Sharon lying about what she knows about the Cylons, and what she knows about the members of Galactica? Manipulating Starbuck in [[Scar]]? It seems given what we learned about Cylons in [[Downloaded]], she should not necessarily have the memories she claims to have. [[User:Huh?|Huh?]] 10:31, 2 March 2006 (CST)<br />
:Matters of pure speculation; we've actually seen nothing that hints or implies that she is really hiding anything; personally, I don't think she is. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] 13:22, 2 March 2006 (CST)<br />
[[User:brotondi|brotondi]] 14.5.06 This is a very interesting point which is not clear yet - and I think also the director will still work on this idea: How identical are copies? How does memory transfer between copies work? ... For me it was one of the greatest moments when Caprica Sharon says to Adama strangling her "And you ask WHY?" - for me referencing on the scene Adama cried on the dead Galactica Sharon. Is this reference not possible? Makes nothing, was great and for me: TV does not have to be 100% error free and exact. It has to be our pleasure, visualizing our imaginations, our ideas, our dreams... And it was time we got the answer from a question directed to a dead person :)<br />
<br />
::In the podcast, Ron Moore mentions that when Caprica-Sharon says "Why?" she is referring to Adama's question about "Why" humanity deserves to survive in the Miniseries, and that yeah it was confusing to put a scene of Adama asking "WHy" about something else in the same episode. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 18:45, 15 May 2006 (CDT)<br />

== Nomenclature (Galactica/Caprica-Sharon)==<br />
As stated in the article, it is becoming increasingly confusing to identify the two Eight models with their season one substitute names "Galactica-Sharon" and "Caprica-Sharon". Grace Park explained in several interviews, she herself – hence most of the crew presumably – began distinguishing them by calling Galactica-Sharon "Boomer" and Caprica-Sharon "Sharon". This seems to be a less bewildering (and more logical) way to designate both Cylons, therefore I would suggest at least to mention this form of distinction in the individual Number Eight articles or even to introduce "Boomer" and "Sharon" as generally acknowledged short names for the two characters within the Battlestar Wiki. --Enemy<br />
<br />
:Welcome to BattlestarWiki, Enemy. You were not here when we did this, but "Caprica-Sharon" and "Galactica-Sharon" are actually the names we assigned them to ''avoid'' confusion. Over the past few months, this convention has actually proved very helpful and I'm sorry if you weren't used to it when you first arrived. Grace Park's thing from that article is actually kind of confusing and I hope that one day she learns of our conventions----->'''More to the point, the production team itself started adopting this fan-naming convention when they started using the name "[[Caprica-Six]]" on air'''. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 14:18, 7 April 2006 (CDT)<br />
<br />
The Merovingian is right, Enemy- Yes, the cast and crew use Boomer and Sharon, but that's more convienient in spoken conversation. When it comes to text, Galactica/Caprica distinction is simpler. Yes, both are a bit confusing, but they are confusing to different people-I know people who will have more of a problem with Boomer/Sharon than Caprica/Galactica. As for the interviews, Tricia Helfer has consistently used the term "humanoid Cylons" to describe herself, Lucy Lawless, and the other models, but it has not been established as the official term by anyone- if every member of the cast and crew used the Boomer/Sharon system, fine, but Eick and RDM have both called Boomer "Sharon", which proves it's no more official than our system.- [[User:Ragestorm|Ragestorm]] 14:30, 7 April 2006 (CDT)<br />
:Well said Ragestorm. I mean her personal thing isn't widespread, RDM used both interchangeably, etc. However, by late season 2, they came up with the name "Caprica-Six", and if anyone here thinks that isn't a subtle reference to our fan naming convention, well, I mean it's not just here; ''Every'' website I've been on, official messageboards, GalacticaStation, we all just eventually started doing that. TelevisionwithoutPity.com formalized it, with a list of "Pegasus-Six = Six from Pegasus" etc etc etc. I personally think/hope that "Caprica-Six" is a sign that they've tacityly adopted the fan naming convention in the writers room. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 14:44, 7 April 2006 (CDT)<br />

:::Disagree on that point, since there's still ambiguity present during the first two seasons. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 01:25, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
::::Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy) redirects to Sharon Agathon, and Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy) will redirect to Sharon Valerii, so anyone searching using those terms will be okay. Anyone searching for Sharon Valerii will go to Boomer's page and see the disambiguation heading telling them to go to Sharon Agathon if they were looking for her, so that's no real problem. Also, wouldn't it be more precise for this page to be "Sharon Valerii Agathon", like "Cally Henderson Tyrol"? [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 09:29, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::Cally, it would seem, chose to take her husband's name while keeping her maiden name. Sharon did not neccessarily go the same route, and may have dropped "Valerii" all together. As Adama used "Sharon Agathon" to swear her in, I say that's pretty good evidence that that is officially and legally her name. Unless she's referred to as "Sharon Valerii Agathon" in the future, I say we stick with this name. [[User:Alpha5099|Alpha5099]] 11:15, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />

::::::::Well, we could make G-Boomer's page just "Sharon Valerii," since there is a Number Eight and Sharon Agathon page that distingushes the other models. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 12:26, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::::::No. To repeat - someone searching for "Sharon Valerii" during the first two seasons should be sent to a disambig page, not G-Sharon's page. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 12:53, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
::::::::::Okay, I can understand that. I guess we could keep the title as it is now, that could work. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 12:58, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::::::::Sharon Valerii ("Boomer") is the most logical title. She's called Boomer repeatedly on the show, never Galactica-Sharon. Sharon Agathon is always Sharon. [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 13:39, 7 October 2006 (CDT) <br />
::::::::::::I'd settle for "Sharon "Boomer" Valerii", but I prefer the "(Galactica copy)" nomenclature, as it matches our current nomenclature for Cylon copies and is extendable to future copies. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 13:43, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::::::::::Calling them by place names works well enough informally, but "Boomer" is a distinguishing point between them from the show itself, and is less confusing now that she's not on Galactica. The only Cylon officially referred to by place name nomenclature is Caprica-Six. Number Three, who calls that Six, "Caprica", calls Boomer, "Boomer". This is the nomenclature being used by the characters. [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 13:51, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />

:::::::::::::::Nothing points to that. I have a feeling that they'll reduce confusion by just keeping her as "Sharon". [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 14:42, 7 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::::::::::::::Or, she could easily just as much use another call sign for fear of the "taint" on the "Boomer" call sign. Hell, she may end up calling herself "Sheba". ^_^ Seriously, while I suspect that she'll end up with a call sign, I don't think it'll be Boomer, and I think we could easily assign that to G-Sharon.--<font color="#4b0082">'''[[User:Mitsukai|み使い]]'''</font> <font color="#2f4f4f">'''''[[User_talk:Mitsukai|Mitsukai]]'''''</font> 10:49, 8 October 2006 (CDT)<br />

== "Valerii" was never her last name ==<br />
<br />
This article has a name convention problem throughout the text. "Valerii" is used as her quasi maiden name, but she never used that surname at all (see [[Talk:Sharon Valerii]]). I'm not sure how to change it though. Two possible solutions would be (1) calling her "Sharon" until she is married to Helo which would be informal, but probably most accurate, or (2) calling her "Agathon" right from the start. Maybe you have other suggestions. -- [[User:Enemy|Enemy]] 15:48, 29 October 2006 (CST)<br />
<br />
:The use of first names only is against [[BW:SAC]] because of issues with informality. While this character was on Caprica, she uses the Sharon Valerii identity (if not necessarily speaking it) with Helo. There are no other aliases for the Eight models. The use of "Caprica-Valerii" or simply Valerii, from an encyclopedic viewpoint ''in this article'', minimizes confusion here. The article's content using her married name should change only in season 3 descriptions in her article. While [[Gina]]'s name was never spoken in dialogue, it doesn't hold true that that was not the character's name, per numerous podcasts by Ron Moore. I would rather hold to convention here than to quibble over what is an already confusing process to differentiate the Cylon models. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 13:23, 30 October 2006 (CST)<br />
<br />
:I strongly agree, she should not be called Valerii in the text. This is factually wrong and only creates unnecessary confusion. Formality should not be more important than accuracy. The best solution would be to use some clever phrases as long as she assumed Valerii's identity (This second Valerii ...) and then refer to her as Sharon, because that is her only known name at this point. It could even be explaining (and justified) in the text that she identified herself with that name to Helo. [[User:Sloan|Sloan]] 09:27, 28 November 2006 (CST)<br />
<br />
::The number 8 model on Caprica during season one was using the ''Sharon Valerii'' identity, just as the Galactica copy was. That the Caprica agent didn't have much opportunity to use her last name isn't really relevant, in my opinion.--[[User:Hylas|Hylas]] 10:59, 28 November 2006 (CST)<br />
:::Of course she used Valerii's identity during season one, but I think it is inappropriate to use the name of an alias of hers in the text until events at the end of season two. When she identifies herself to Helo as a different Sharon, she should no longer be called Valerii. [[User:Sloan|Sloan]] 11:52, 28 November 2006 (CST)<br />

'''Sharon "Athena" Agathon''' is a copy of the [[humanoid Cylon]] model [[Number Eight]] who is first encountered by [[Karl Agathon|Karl "Helo" Agathon]], when he is stranded on [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]]. She is initially assigned to seduce him by impersonating Lieutenant [[Sharon Valerii]], as part of a Cylon cross-breeding experiment, but later turns against her people and helps him escape the planet; pregnant with his child during that time. Helo, first shocked by her true nature, ultimately accepts her as the mother of his child and declares his love for her.<br />
<br />
Once on ''[[Galactica]]'', she is imprisoned and long seen as a mere object. She frequently provides intelligence, but is severely mistreated by an interrogator from ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' who beats and sexually assaults her. Over time, she earns Admiral [[William Adama|Adama's]] trust by helping the [[Colonial Fleet]] escape peril several times, and she is eventually appointed as a Colonial Officer and marries Karl Agathon. Agathon gives birth on ''Galactica'', but her daughter, [[Hera]], is subsequently hidden from her, because President [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]] considers the baby a threat to the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Agathon believes Hera to be dead for more than a year, but after learning the truth about her child during a confrontation with Valerii, she is able to regain her daughter from the Cylons with the help of [[Caprica-Six]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Cylon cross-breeding experiment on Caprica === <br />
Sharon is a [[Number Eight]] model first seen on [[Caprica]] shortly after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] and the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] decide to use her in an elaborate experiment focused on [[Karl Agathon|Karl "Helo" Agathon]] who is stranded on the planet. She is an identical copy of Helo's friend and colleague Lieutenant [[Sharon Valerii]] and the Cylons hope to explore the possibilities of Cylon-human procreation by getting Helo to fall in love with her ([[The Farm]]). Sharon appears to Helo to rescue him after he is captured by a [[Number Six|Six]] and several [[Cylon Centurion|Cylon Centurions]]. Unaware that Cylons have developed human models, Helo believes her to be Sharon Valerii from ''Galactica'', returning to rescue him ([[33]]). Following this staged rescue, she leads Helo to a Raptor, now surrounded by Cylon Centurions, and convinces him that they have no direct way off the planet ([[Water]]). Sharon is able to impersonate Lieutenant Valerii convincingly, since she has accessed Valerii's entire memories ([[Flesh and Bone]]).<br />
<br />
After receiving a feigned Colonial signal on a radio receiver they carry, Sharon leads Helo to a city where they find a fully-equipped fallout shelter in which two people can live in reasonable security, hidden from above-ground Cylon operations, and with sufficient supplies to last a considerable period of time ([[Act of Contrition]]). The purpose in establishing this retreat is to elicit an emotional response in Helo towards his Cylon companion. When this fails and Helo continues to seek a way off Caprica, the Cylons lead him to believe that Sharon has been captured, concluding that if Helo does not seek to rescue her, the experiment has failed and he must be killed ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]). <br />
<br />
Helo does undertake a successful rescue attempt and shortly after, the two of them have sex for the first time in a nearby forest. Helo had always been fond of the original Valerii on ''Galactica'', but his affection for her was stilled by her relationship with Chief [[Galen Tyrol]] ([[Six Degrees of Separation]]). Pleased with the progress, the Cylons set up a new hideout, a cabin in the woods, and Sharon is instructed to lead him there and have him stay with her – or kill him, if he attempts to leave ([[Flesh and Bone]]). But she begins to question the Cylons' overall goal. Realizing that she has herself fallen in love with Helo, Sharon disobeys her instructions and leads Helo to [[Delphi]], where they hope to steal a vehicle and get off the planet ([[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]). On their way to Delphi, she shows signs of being pregnant, succumbing to a bout of morning sickness ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]) and developing a ravenous appetite ([[Colonial Day]]).<br />
<br />
===Revelation of her true identity and arrival at the Fleet ===<br />
[[Image:Boomerhelokara.jpg|235px|left|[[Helo]] attempts to stop Lt. [[Kara Thrace|Thrace]] from shooting Sharon, in the [[Delphi Museum]].|thumb]]<br />
On reaching Delphi, Sharon and Helo break into the Cylon facilities to gain access to the spaceport. But as Helo encounters yet another [[Number Eight]] model, he draws the initial conclusion that Sharon is a human clone created by the Cylons and goes on the run alone ([[Colonial Day]]). When Sharon catches up with him, she tried to calm him down and eventually challenges him to shoot her, after he tells her to stay away ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]). Helo can only bring himself to wound her, and he takes Sharon with him to use her in some way to get off Caprica. While Helo keeps her at gunpoint, Sharon leads him to the [[Delphi Museum]]. Waiting out a storm in a nearby ruined building, she explains to him that she is “Sharon”, not a mere clone or a copy, and that she is as real as [[Sharon Valerii]] on ''Galactica''. She also tells him that her love for him is real and that she is pregnant with his child.<br />
<br />
When Sharon and Helo come across Lieutenant [[Kara Thrace]] who has landed near the museum to retrieve the [[Arrow of Apollo]], Thrace realizes on-sight that Sharon is a Cylon (having left Valerii behind on ''Galactica'') and she attempts to shoot her. Helo stops Thrace and reveals to her that Sharon is pregnant with his child ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]). Thrace also wrongly concludes that she must be a Cylon copy of the real Valerii on ''Galactica''; Sharon's attempts to explain her identity to her are unsuccessful. While Thrace and Helo argue over her, Sharon escapes in Thrace's [[Cylon Raider]] to save herself and the life of her unborn child ([[Scattered]]). <br />
<br />
Several days later, Sharon returns to Helo who is now with a human [[Caprica Resistance|resistance movement]] that has formed on Caprica. She offers her help in finding Thrace who was abducted during a Cylon ambush ([[The Farm]]). Thrace manages to escape to the outside of the hospital where she was imprisoned and Sharon arrives at the rescue scene in a stolen Cylon [[Heavy Raider]], destroying several [[Cylon Centurion|Cylon Centurions]] that attack the Resistance rescue party. Following the successful rescue, Sharon accompanies Helo and Thrace on their way back to the human [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] in the Heavy Raider. <br />
<br />
When they arrive at the Fleet and Sharon walks aboard the ''[[Astral Queen]]'', Captain [[Lee Adama]] reacts violently. The son of Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] who was shot by the Cylon "sleeper" agent Valerii grabs her and places his gun to her head. Helo draws his sidearm against Adama, forcing a standoff. President [[Laura Roslin]] urges both men to withdraw their weapons, but then immediately orders Sharon to be ejected out an airlock. Sharon tells Roslin she knows the location of the [[Tomb of Athena]], an ancient place Roslin is trying to find, and she reconsiders, placing Sharon in the brig. Roslin later explains that she suspects Sharon is willing to cooperate, because she wants to protect Helo and her unborn child, something Roslin interprets as a mothering instinct.<br />
<br />
=== Guide on Kobol ===<br />
[[image:sharonhome.jpg|235px|Sharon on Kobol, with [[Helo]], Priestess [[Elosha]] and President [[Roslin]].|thumb]]<br />
Sharon accompanies [[Laura Roslin|Roslin's]] party to [[Kobol]]. She recites specific passages of the [[Tomb of Athena]] in the scriptures of the [[Sacred Scrolls]] and plots the group's path on the planet. On their way they are ambushed by [[Cylon Centurion|Cylon Centurions]] who open fire. As the others take cover and return fire, Sharon vaults away, with Captain [[Lee Adama|Adama]] in pursuit, believing she is trying to escape. Sharon picks up a grenade launcher lying ahead, and as Adama thinks she is about to shoot him, she aims for the remaining Centurion and destroys it ([[Home, Part I]]). At camp, Adama voices suspicions about Helo who still loves Sharon, despite his awareness of her true nature as a Cylon. During the trek, Sharon casually tells Helo that their child is a girl. <br />
<br />
Shortly after, Commander [[William Adama|Adama’s]] search party arrives at Roslin's camp. When Adama sees Sharon who exactly resembles the Cylon who shot him, he immediately tries to choke her to death. He is forced to release her, after Sharon touches his fresh wound, leaving him with severe chest pain. During their struggle, Sharon enigmatically references what Adama said over [[Sharon Valerii|Sharon Valerii’s]] dead body, saying “and you asked why” aloud.<br />
<br />
Later, one of [[Tom Zarek|Tom Zarek's]] followers, [[Meier]], tries to convince Sharon to help him kill both Adamas, as part of a plan to gain control of the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Sharon initially believed that Sharon Valerii was being held in the [[brig]], but Meier informs her that she was killed. She expresses her outrage to Helo that [[Cally]] received only a minor punishment for this murder. Sharon deduces that the Colonials do not see humanoid Cylons as people and that she must take matters into her own hands to prove her trustworthiness. Sharon appears to take up Meier's proposal to kill both Commander Adama and Captain Adama, but as Meier draws his weapon, she kills him instead, saving the lives of both Adamas. She announces to Commander Adama that she is not the same Cylon who shot him, and that she has no hidden protocols waiting to be activated; she makes her own choices. She then surrenders her weapon to Adama and successfully leads them to the Tomb of Athena.<br />
<br />
=== Cooperation with the human Fleet ===<br />
[[Image:Valerii_virus.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Sharon connected to ''Galactica's'' main [[Computers|computer]].]]<br />
Sharon is brought aboard ''Galactica'' and imprisoned in a new reinforced cell that was originally designed to incarcerate [[Sharon Valerii]]. The virtual [[Number Six]] tells Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] that Sharon's baby will be born in that cell and that the child belongs to Baltar and her ([[Home, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
During her imprisonment, Sharon nearly has a miscarriage, and is brought to [[sickbay]] where Dr. [[Cottle]] succeeds in saving the fetus. A [[Number Three]] model who poses as the reporter [[D'anna Biers]] in the [[Fleet News Service]], stumbles upon Sharon while filming a documentary on board ''Galactica'' and she manages to send footage of Sharon back to Caprica. The Cylons are surprised, yet overjoyed, that Sharon is still alive. They are concerned that her hybrid child survives; saying that it must be protected at all costs ([[Final Cut]]).<br />
<br />
When ''Galactica'' experiences mysterious computer failures and system malfunctions from a mutated version of a Cylon virus, Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] orders Helo to show the incarcerated Sharon the strange Cylon code. Sharon identifies it as a virulent [[logic bomb]] that will take control of the ship and kill off the crew without her help. Reluctantly, on advice from President [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]], Adama brings Sharon to [[CIC]], where she cuts her arm open and [[Cylon data port|connects herself to a fiber optic data line]] to communicate with ''Galactica's'' mainframe [[Computers|computer]]. On accessing the computer, she takes into her a portion of the logic bomb code, and then instructs Lieutenant [[Felix Gaeta|Gaeta]] to wipe the system's hard drives to erase all Cylon virus traces. As the crew restarts the ship’s computers, a massive Cylon fighter force jumps into range, leaving ''Galactica'' defenseless. Sharon makes adjustments to the code and transmits the altered virus from ''Galactica'' to the Cylons, disabling the entire fleet of Cylon fighters ([[Flight of the Phoenix]]).<br />
<br />
=== Interrogation and abuse ===<br />
[[image:Pegasus-Thorne_Boomer.jpg|235px|Sharon is beaten and sexually assaulted during an interrogation by Lt. [[Alastair Thorne|Thorne]].|thumb]]<br />
After ''Galactica'' reunites with battlestar ''[[Pegasus]]'', Admiral [[Helena Cain]] sends Lieutenant [[Alastair Thorne]] to inspect the incarcerated Sharon. He beats and sexually assaults her with the help of several of his guards. Helo and Chief [[Tyrol]] find out about Thorne and what was done to his previous [[Gina|prisoner]], and they arrive in time to stop him, but Tyrol accidentally kills Thorne in the process. Both Tyrol and Helo are arrested by the ''Pegasus'' guards and taken to Admiral Cain's battlestar, where Cain hastily convenes courts-martial for them, sentencing both to death ([[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]). <br />
<br />
Sharon's attempted rape results in a hairline fracture in one of her ribs and minor bruising. Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] who has reached a détente with Admiral Cain over Helo and Tyrol's execution personally apologizes to Sharon over the incident; this is also the first time that Adama refers to Sharon as "her," instead of "it." Later, Adama asks to speak with her in private, questioning her why the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] hate humanity. She responds by reminding him of a speech he gave before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|attacks]], in which he suggested that humanity is a flawed creation, and she implies that therefore humanity might not deserve to survive. Sharon is later reunited with Helo and Tyrol when the two are released after Cain's death, as Adama resumes full command of the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
Weeks later, President [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]], on her deathbed, orders that Sharon's fetus be aborted, fearing the baby might be dangerous for the Fleet. On hearing this news, Sharon is enraged, having cooperated fully to aid the Fleet to save herself and her child, and to show that not all Cylons are dangerous. Marines are sent to take her to [[sickbay]] to forcibly perform the abortion procedure. At the last minute, Dr. [[Baltar]] learns that the fetal blood of Sharon's baby has the ability to destroy cancer cells. He takes a small blood sample and injects it into the dying Roslin; moments later, her cancer disappears. The abortion procedure is cancelled ([[Epiphanies]]).<br />
<br />
Despite her mistreatment, Sharon continues to support the Fleet and provides intelligence. She helps Captain [[Kara Thrace|Thrace]] to understand the behavior of [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raiders]] ([[Scar]]), and frequently assists Admiral Adama to plot the Fleet's course in order to avoid Cylon confrontation. Colonel [[Tigh]] remains extremely skeptical of her increased involvement ([[Sacrifice]]).<br />
<br />
===Birth of her daughter Hera===<br />
[[Image:Sharondownloaded.jpg|170px|thumb|left|[[Helo]] comforts Sharon, as Dr. [[Cottle]] start to perform an emergency birth procedure.]]<br />
When Sharon begins to bleed due to a detached placenta, Dr. [[Cottle]] performs an emergency birth procedure to save both her and the baby's life. Sharon and Helo name the baby girl [[Hera]]. After her parents believe Hera is out of danger, the baby apparently dies due to her underdeveloped lungs and Dr. Cottle's failure to intubate her in time. Sharon, suspecting her child was killed deliberately, nearly strangles Dr. Cottle before being subdued, and she subsequently falls into a deep depression. <br />
<br />
However, unbeknownst to Sharon and Helo, Hera is still alive. President [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]] who still considers the child a danger for the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] had Sharon's baby switched with the body of a dead child and, with the help of Dr. Cottle and her aide [[Tory Foster]], places Hera in the care of [[Maya]], a foster mother. Maya is told a cover story that disguises Hera's true identity ([[Downloaded]]). Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]] is not informed of Roslin's plan ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).<br />
<br />
Sharon's depression over losing her child worsens and Helo convinces her to aid in the rescue of [[Samuel Anders]] and other survivors on [[Caprica]], in part to try and draw her out of her depression. Sharon's knowledge of Cylon [[FTL]] technology makes the rescue possible. She acts as a conduit between the Colonial Raptors and the far more advanced FTL computer salvaged from the Cylon Heavy Raider she once brought back to ''Galactica'' ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
On Caprica, Captain [[Kara Thrace|Thrace]] demonstrates a new level of trust for Sharon by handing her a gun during a firefight with ambushing [[Cylon Centurion|Cylon Centurions]]. Later, Sharon is as perplexed as everyone else when the Cylons disengage and apparently leave the planet. She is aware, however, that [[Cavil]], a man who approaches the group and loudly proclaims the end of the occupation to be a miracle, is a [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]]. On ''Galactica'', Cavil is exposed by Chief [[Tyrol]], and Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]] sends Sharon back to the brig. When asked by a distraught Helo why she did not mention that Cavil is Cylon, she replies "They killed my baby. Do you think I care about you, or us, or whether or not Adama trusts me anymore?" Sharon withdraws further, shutting Helo out completely ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
===Officer of the Colonial Fleet===<br />
[[Image:Season 3 - Promo - Epi 1 - 2 - C-Number Eight, Adama, Helo.jpg|235px|Sharon Agathon is commissioned as a Colonial Officer.|thumb]]<br />
More than a year later, and four months after ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus's'' retreat from [[New Caprica]], Sharon Agathon is now married to Karl "Helo" Agathon. In the year that has passed, Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]] has taken Sharon into his confidence and the two periodically sit down to tea; her cell now has a couch, a table, and other amenities ([[Occupation]]). Adama commissions Agathon into the [[Colonial Fleet]] as a Lieutenant (Junior Grade). In her first mission, Agathon leads an insertion force that will serve as a liaison between the [[New Caprica Resistance]] and ''Galactica'' during the extraction of the New Caprica population. She commands two Raptors in an intra-atmosphere jump and links up with [[Samuel Anders]] and his squad at the [[Breeders Canyon]]. Their planning is interrupted when [[Cylon Centurion|Cylon Centurions]] ambush their position ([[Precipice]]). Agathon and her assigned Marines anticipated enemy contact, so the Marines, from a supporting position, can neutralize the Cylon attackers. <br />
<br />
On the following day, Agathon covertly enters the Cylon [[New Caprica Detention Center|detention center]] to recover the [[launch key|launch keys]] for the grounded Colonial ships, bypassing human and Centurion guards that cannot distinguish Agathon from other Eights. After interfacing with a [[Datastream|data terminal]] and obtaining the keys, a [[Number Three]] enters the room and challenges her loyalty. The Three tells her that [[Hera]] is still alive, but Agathon rejects the notion, shoots the Three in each leg to slow her eventual report back to other Cylons. When she hands over the launch keys to Chief [[Tyrol]], she asks him if he had actually seen Hera's ashes, which he affirms ([[Exodus, Part I]]). <br />
<br />
Following the [[Battle of New Caprica]], the Agathons and many other pilots eat in the mess hall. After [[Margaret Edmondson|Racetrack]] addresses Agathon as "Boomer," Helo asks the crew for suggestions for a more appropriate callsign. A number of humorous and affectionate responses arise (reflecting Agathon's trust and comfort amongst the human crew), but Helo opts for [[Hot Dog|Hot Dog's]] suggestion, "Athena" ([[Torn]]).<br />
<br />
Agathon undertakes a solo recon mission through a high radiation cluster to look for a planet with suitable material to replenish the Fleet's lost food supplies. Agathon's Cylon physiology withstands radiation levels that would have killed a human, although not without some discomfort. The successful mission confirms the foodstuffs on [[algae planet|a planet with algae]] and gives needed data to safely attempt the guide the Fleet ([[The Passage]]).<br />
<br />
=== Reunification with her child ===<br />
During a stand-off at the [[Algae planet]], a Cylon delegation boards ''Galactica'' to negotiate for the [[Eye of Jupiter]]. Agathon, near the conference area, instantly identifies the Eight from the baseship delegation as "Boomer. [[Sharon Valerii|Valerii]] tells Agathon that her daughter, [[Hera]], is still alive and also notes President [[Laura Roslin|Roslin's]] involvement in her daughter's disappearance. After confirming the matter with Roslin, Admiral Adama informs Agathon that Hera's death was indeed fabricated without his knowledge. Agathon angrily demands to see her child. ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).<br />
<br />
Agathon convinces Helo that the only way to rescue Hera is for her to [[download]] to the Cylon fleet and infiltrate the [[basestar]] where Hera is kept. Reluctantly, Helo agrees to shoot her and Agathon is subsequently downloaded and resurrected on the nearby [[Resurrection Ship|resurrection ship]] where she is greeted by [[Caprica-Six]] upon rebirth. Agathon pretends that she wants to stay with the Cylons and Caprica-Six leads her to Hera. Her daughter is ill and apparently rejecting Valerii who has been taking care of the child on board the Cylon vessel. Following Agathon's demand that Hera needs to see a human doctor, Valerii threatens to kill Hera, but Caprica-Six intervenes and kills Valerii instead. Accompanied by Caprica-Six, Agathon and her daugther leave the basetar in a captured Raptor and return to ''Galactica'' ([[Rapture]]).<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* This [[Number Eight]] is usually called "Sharon" and more recently "Athena," while [[Sharon Valerii]] is often just called "Boomer," as that callsign is closely associated with her. Until season 3, this copy was referred to as the Caprica copy ("Caprica-Sharon"), because she was first encountered on Caprica.<br />
*Sharon Agathon's callsign, "Athena," may be a reference to her nature as a Cylon, if the Colonists share the Greek myth that Pallas Athene sprung from the head of Zeus fully grown without ever having a childhood – much as a Cylon does.<br />
* Athena is one of the [[Religion_in_the_Twelve_Colonies#The_Lords_of_Kobol|Lords of Kobol]]. In [[Home, Part II]], Sharon relates the death of Athena on Kobol, "Athena [threw] herself down [from the Gates of Hera] onto the rocks below, out of despair over the Exodus of the thirteen tribes." <br />
* Her callsign also creates a parallelism with the [[Original Series]] character of [[Athena (TOS)|Athena]]. In the Original Series, Athena was the daughter of [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]]. [[William Adama]], in the Re-imagined Series, felt a close fatherly bond to Sharon Valerii. Agathon's relationship with Adama is very similar and reinforces the similarity with the Original Series character. <br />

Other TV shows have had [[Wikipedia:Drinking game|drinking games]] adapted from the venerable "Hi, Bob!" game, among others. The new "[[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]]" series has sadly failed to stop ''Battlestar Wiki's'' contributors from doing the same after noticing repeated plot points, parallels to current events, characterizations, and other silliness.<br />

From a ''Rolling Stone'' September 2006 Magazine interview of [[Katee Sackhoff]]<br />
<br />
:"Four years ago, I had older men and twelve-year-olds coming up to me," she says. "Now I get sorority girls telling me, 'We watch the show and drink every time you say "frak," hit someone or sleep with someone.' And I'm thinking, 'This is why I didn't go to college.'"<br />

Other TV shows have had [[Wikipedia:Drinking game|drinking games]] adapted from the venerable "Hi, Bob!" game, among others. The new "[[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]]" series has sadly failed to stop ''Battlestar Wiki's'' contributors from doing the same after noticing repeated plot points, parallels to current events, characterizations, and other silliness.<br />
<br />
You might consider creating your own ''Cylon Shooters'' for use in the game by [[Cylon Shooter|following the recipe]] given by actors [[Grace Park]] and [[Tahmoh Penikett]].<br />

From a ''Rolling Stone'' September 2006 Magazine interview of [[Katee Sackhoff]]<br />
<br />
:"Four years ago, I had older men and twelve-year-olds coming up to me," she says. "Now I get sorority girls telling me, 'We watch the show and drink every time you say "frak," hit someone or sleep with someone.' And I'm thinking, 'This is why I didn't go to college.'"<br />

Other TV shows have had [[Wikipedia:Drinking game|drinking games]] adapted from the venerable "Hi, Bob!" game, among others. The new "[[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]]" series has sadly failed to stop ''Battlestar Wiki's'' contributors from doing the same after noticing repeated plot points, parallels to current events, characterizations, and other silliness.<br />
<br />
You might consider creating your own ''Cylon Shooters'' for use in the game by [[Cylon Shooter|following the recipe]] given by actors [[Grace Park]] and [[Tahmoh Penikett]].<br />

From a ''Rolling Stone'' September 2006 Magazine interview of [[Katee Sackhoff]]<br />
<br />
:"Four years ago, I had older men and twelve-year-olds coming up to me," she says. "Now I get sorority girls telling me, 'We watch the show and drink every time you say "frak," hit someone or sleep with someone.' And I'm thinking, 'This is why I didn't go to college.'"<br />

<br />
'''Diana Seelix''' is a [[Nugget|pilot-in-training]] aboard ''[[Galactica]]'' and was previously a deck hand under Chief [[Galen Tyrol]].<br />
<br />
She survives the crash of Raptor 1 on [[Kobol]] ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]). She uses some basic medical training to attend to [[Socinus]]' wounds ("[[Scattered]]", "[[Valley of Darkness]]").<br />
<br />
Seelix suffers a bullet wound to her leg while escaping a Cylon anti-aircraft emplacement on Kobol, but [[Cally Tyrol|Cally Henderson]] drags her to safety. The group is later rescued by ''Galactica'' ([[Fragged]]).<br />
<br />
Later, Seelix returns to duty aboard ''Galactica'' with Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]]'s deck crew. There, she and the other deckhands throw a welcome back party for Cally when she is released from the brig.<br />
<br />
She assists in the construction of the [[Blackbird]] ([[Flight of the Phoenix]]).<br />
<br />
[[image:Seela.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Seelix on New Caprica]]<br />
After the discovery of [[New Caprica]] she settles on the planet. When the Cylons find and occupy the planet, she becomes active in the [[New Caprica Resistance|resistance movement]] and helps to rescue many people--including [[Cally Tyrol]], [[Laura Roslin]] and [[Tom Zarek]]--from a [[Cylon Centurion]] execution squad ([[Exodus, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
Shortly after the exodus from New Caprica and her return to ''Galactica'', Seelix becomes a member of the [[The Circle|Circle]], a secret presidential tribunal tasked with trying, convicting and, if warranted, executing humans who collaborated with the Cylons ([[Collaborators]]).<br />
<br />
Some time later, she accompanies the Tyrols to [[Airlock|airlock]] 12 on [[Deck 14|deck 14]], where maintenance needs to be performed. When the Tyrols are trapped in the airlock and it begins to depressurize due to a small but widening hole in the hull, she tries unsuccessfully to reopen the inner airlock doors from the observation booth. Seelix cares for [[Nicholas Tyrol]] while his parents are recovering in ''Galactica'''s sickbay from their exposure to space during their rescue ([[A Day in the Life]]).<br />
<br />
At an unspecified point in time, Seelix applies to become a pilot, passing the written exam with flying colors but is rejected due to her expertise in her known field; the Fleet needs every able-bodied person available to stay where they are to keep itself operational). After the workers' strike aboard ''Galactica'' and the refinery ship is resolved, Seelix is promoted to Ensign and begins flight training ([[Dirty Hands]]).<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*When Seelix and crewmember [[Tarn]] first appeared in the season 1 finale, they were originally named generically as "Technician #1" (Tarn) and "Technician #2" (Seelix). [[Aaron Douglas]], who plays Chief Tyrol, saw potential for the two characters, and after consulting together, they came up with names for both characters. Douglas then just inserted their names into his lines on every take. So by the season 2 premiere, the credits officially started listing them with these names. Tarn died in the season premiere, but Seelix ultimately became a somewhat recurring character, reappearing in "Flight of the Phoenix" and throughout season three, becoming a pilot-in-training in "Dirty Hands".<br />
*The extended [[Podcast:A Day In The Life|podcast]] for the episode "[[A Day In The Life]]", which lets viewers listen in the editing of the episode, recalls the circumstances of how Aaron Douglas began the first use of "Seelix" for the character's name, which was essentially improvised during filming.<br />
*Seelix first appeared in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]", in Raptor 1 when it is shot down, but was uncredited until the following episode. <br />
*Seelix's first name, Diana, stems from the Roman name of the goddess Artemis, who is also one of the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Lords of Kobol|Lords of Kobol]]. <br />

<br />
==Season 1==<br />
*'''Note:''' Timeline assumes that the days shown on [[Caprica]] with [[Helo]] corresponds to the timeline on ''Galactica''. A strong example of this is in the season 1 finale "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]", when [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] travels from Galactica to Caprica.''<br />
==="[[33]]" through "[[The Hand of God (RDM)|Hand of God]]"===<br />
*'''Day 6:''' ''Galactica'' pursued by the Cylons for six days. The ship ''[[Olympic Carrier]]'' is discovered to be the source of the problem, it is destroyed when nuclear weapons are detected aboard ([[33]]).<br />
*'''Day 7:''' First new child born on the ''[[Rising Star]]''. ''Pegasus'' encounters a fleet of 15 civilian ships, including ''[[Scylla]]''.<br />
*'''Day 10:''' President Roslin makes her first official visit to ''Galactica''. During an unrep procedure, ''Galactica''’s water tanks are destroyed by sabotage from Cylon agent Sharon Valerii and the majority of its water is vented into space. ''Galactica'' commences an immediate search of the surrounding star systems for drinkable water and finds an ice moon ([[Water]]).<br />
*'''Day 12:''' Representatives from the government led by Lee Adama visit the ''[[Astral Queen]]'' to enlist the aid of its prisoner population to help mine water from the ice moon. They find themselves embroiled in a plot by former terrorist [[Tom Zarek]] to capture the ''[[Astral Queen]]'' and demand a civil ransom from President Roslin. The stand-off ends with one prisoner killed when Colonial Marines storm the ship. Lee Adama brokers a deal with Zarek to turn the ship over to him and to convince Roslin to hold an election in exchange for peace and co-operation with the government ([[Bastille Day]]).<br />
*'''Day 14:''' An accident on the hangar deck kills 13 pilots. Starbuck is ordered by Adama to train [[nuggets|replacements]]. Starbuck goes missing after [[Skirmish over the Red Moon|a battle with a Cylon recon force]]. ([[Act of Contrition]]).<br />
*'''Day 15:''' Adama searches for Starbuck against the recommendation of Col. Tigh and President Roslin. Starbuck survived on the red moon of the ice planet system for over 48 hours before locating the Raider she shot down. She trains herself how to fly it then uses it to return to ''Galactica'' ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]). <br />
*'''Day 17:''' A copy of [[Aaron Doral]] sneaks aboard the ''Galactica'', steals several blocks of [[G-4]] and G-4 detonators from a small arms locker then blows himself up near Baltar's lab. An independent tribunal is set up to investigate and focuses its attention on Galen Tyrol and Sharon Valerii. Specialist [[Socinus]] is jailed for lying under oath to protect Tryol and Adama overturns the tribunal when he feels it has become a "witch hunt" ([[Litmus]]).<br />
*'''Day 21:''' First recollection by any of the ''[[Rising Star (RDM)|Rising Star]]'' crewmembers of giving [[Ellen Tigh]] medical assistance ("about a week" before "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]").<br />
*'''Day 24:''' [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Caprica Valerii]] and [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] first make love. A copy of Number Six appears aboard the ''Galactica'' introducing herself as "[[Shelly Godfrey]]" and presents doctored evidence to Commander Adama implicating Dr. Baltar in the attack on the Colonies. When her story is debunked and evidence suggesting she may be a Cylon agent begins to mount she disappears as quickly and mysteriously as she appeared ([[Six Degrees of Separation]]).<br />
*'''Day 25:''' A copy of [[Leoben Conoy]] surfaces on the [[Gemenon Traveler]] claiming he has hidden a nuclear device somewhere in the fleet but will not say where. Kara Thrace is brought in to interrogate him and she eventually makes him confess the bomb story was a lie. He is then thrown out an airlock on President Roslin's personal order ([[Flesh and Bone]]).<br />
*'''Day 26:''' Ellen Tigh resumes consciousness ("a couple of days" before [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]).<br />
*'''Day 28:''' William Adama travels to the ''Rising Star'' and brings [[Ellen Tigh]] aboard the ''Galactica'' to reunite with Saul. Ellen later spends most of an uncomfortable dinner party with President Roslin grilling Adama on the subject of the then-fictitious Earth. When she is tested by Dr. Baltar's Cylon Detector, Baltar claims her results came back green but then later reveals to Number Six that everyone is going to be greenlit from now on reguardless of what the results say ([[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]).<br />
*'''Day 36:''' With the Fleet running low on Tylium fuel, Adama begins scouting near-by systems for asteroids rich in Tylium ore. One system is found but a heavily fortified Cylon mining outpost is discovered there. ''Galactica'' engages the Cylons a [[battle for the Tylium Asteroid]] and destroys the mining base. Caprica Valerii begins showing the first signs of pregnancy and suffers morning sickness ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]).<br />
<br />
===[[Colonial Day]]===<br />
<br />
*'''Day 46:''' Delegates selected for the [[Quorum of Twelve]]. [[Tom Zarek]] selected to represent [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Sagittaron|Sagittaron]].

Gaius Baltar selected to represent [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]]. Apollo and Starbuck inspect the [[Cloud Nine]].<br />
<br />

*'''Day ??''' - A standoff between the two battlestars begins over the treatment of the arrested ''Galactica'' crew.<br />
<br />
==Season two timeline discontinuity==<br />
:''Main article: [[Season two timeline discontinuity]]''<br />
Based on various evidence, the end of "Resistance" can be very firmly dated to Day 54. This puts Cally's release at Day 84, and in turn means that as of "Flight of the Phoenix", Roslin was not expected to live past day 114. Corroborating this, Sharon Valerii does not appear visibly pregnant in "Pegasus".<br />
<br />
However, in the following episode, Admiral Cain states offhandedly that it has been about six months since the fall of the colonies. This is further corroborated in "Epiphanies", which we learn takes place 189 days after the holocaust (a full 75 days longer than Roslin's most favorable prognosis). Additionally, Valerii now appears to be well into her second trimester, and elections have been put off by 75 days from their first-season projections.<br />
<br />
There is apparently no way to reconcile this discrepancy. Even under the most liberal assumptions, the first half of the second season timeline cannot accommodate more than about three additional days.<br />
<br />
Consequently, there is a 75-day discontinuity between the fist and second halves of season two. The second half of the season is dated from the firm dates given in "Resurrection Ship, Part I" and "Epiphanies", but be aware that dates throughout the remainder of season 2 are likely to contradict those from earlier in the series.<br />
<br />
==Season 2.5==<br />
<br />

This date is roughly taken as Day 270, with an implied give-or-take of a couple weeks.

==Between Season 2.5 and ''The Resistance''==<br />
*[[Nicholas Tyrol]] is born to [[Cally]] and [[Galen Tyrol]].<br />
*[[Kara Thrace]] is forced into a marriage-type arrangement with [[Leoben Conoy]], whom she kills regularly.<br />
''Note: It is unclear when Kara was taken, but finding her was clearly Conoy's first order of business.''<br />
*A resistance movement is established. Its leaders are [[Saul Tigh]], [[Galen Tyrol]] and [[Samuel Anders]]. Other members include [[Jean Barolay]] and [[James Lyman|James "Jammer" Lyman]].<br />
''Note: Samuel Anders is clearly a resistance leader by the episode "Occupation", but he is not seen during "Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance". His character background suggests that he would have been a founder or early member of the resistance, but we must also presume it took him at least some time to recover from his illness.''<br />
<br />
==''[[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]]''==<br />
*'''c. Day 727 (447th day since settlement, 67th day of occupation) - Evening:''' Tyrol and Tigh have been organizing a budding resistance movement, but they find recruiting new soldiers is becoming dangerous and difficult. New Capricans are shot on the spot if weapons are found in their tents. The Cylons are also setting up a human police force to take over for the [[Cylon Centurion]]s, who are doing most of the police work.<br />
<br />
*'''Day 728?:''' - Due to personal reasons Duck has refused to work with the resistance, much to the ire of Tyrol. A ritual for protection of the crops from blight is said in the temple. As the priestess leaves, Jean Barolay abruptly shifts the conversation to the movement of the weapons stash into the temple; Jammer strongly objects, but he is overruled by Tigh. Later in the day, Duck tells Nora his decision about joining the resistance. She is pleased that he refused Tyrol. During the night, Tigh, Tyrol, Jammer, and Barolay move the weapons into the temple disguising them. <br />
<br />
*'''Day 729?:''' - Nora wakes Duck saying he will be late to work. She tries to convince him to go to temple after work with her. He refuses, saying he talks to the gods in his own way. Later in the day, Cally and Nora are visiting the temple. A Number Five announces that he will enter the temple with several Cylon Centurions. Several men try to block them, but the Cylons force their way in and gunfire can be seen and heard. While trying to run away Cally falls to the ground protecting her baby, but Nora is shot and killed when she tries to retrieve her bag. Afterwards Tyrol, Cally and Jammer return Nora's bag to Duck, and inform him about the death of Nora. Duck is physically sickened by the news. He becomes angry and demands to know if there were weapons in the temple. Tyrol tries to avoid the question, but Duck doesn't relent until Tyrol admits the truth. At that point, Duck orders them out of his tent. <br />
<br />
*'''Day 732?:''' - Tigh, Barolay, and Jammer discuss the effects of the attack, which has brought about positive effects for the resistance. The general population has started to side with the resistance and 1,000 people protested outside Colonial One over the attack on the temple. Since the attack, recruitment has become easier with 150 Colonials signing up. Tigh thinks that this was a good deal because the loss of a few weapons was worth the propaganda victory. However, Jammer is upset that the loss of 10 lives was not worth it. Tigh comes down hard on Jammer, stating that people die in war, nice people, and the resistance has no room for crybabies. <br />
<br />
*'''Day 73_?:''' - Tyrol and Tigh discuss the arrest of Jammer by the Cylons. Tyrol insists that Jammer won't reveal the work of the resistance. Jammer is imprisoned in a Cylon detention center and is visited by a Number Five. Number Five proposes to Jammer that the massacre at the temple may have been planned by the Resistance. Number Five offers Jammer the chance to stop further bloodshed by informing him of potentially life-threatening actions by the Resistance. Jammer balks at becoming a traitor to the Resistance, but accepts a key card which will let him enter the [[New Caprica Detention Center|detention center]] to report any secret plans of the Resistance.<br />
<br />
==Between ''The Resistance'' and Season 3.0==<br />
<br />
*[[Saul Tigh]] is captured by the Cylons and detained. One of his eyes is literally ripped out by the Cylons.<br />

===[[Precipice]]===<br />
*'''c. Day 795 - evening''': Arguably, the introductory scene with Roslin in a cell takes place during the evening on the same day that the bombing occurred. An announcment that a curfew is in effect suggests that the time is between 1900 and 2200, since that is customarily when militaries impose cufews. The [[New Caprica Police|NCP]] raid the tents of and capture numerous suspected [[New Caprica Resistance|resistance]] members.<br />

*'''c. Day 797''': Starbuck apologizes to Kasey and the Number Three visits the [[Dodona Selloi|Oracle]]. The resistance's final planning and coordination is not shown but must take the entire day--similarly, what are the Cylons doing? Certainly they must be doing ''something'' the day after their execution fails and all the resistance members are free?--the next scene on New Caprica after the Oracle's scene is the Number Three talking to [[Dr. Cottle]] in the evening.<br />
*'''c. Day 798 - morning & midday''': The Cavil killed by Tyrol's ambush returns to ''[[Colonial One]],'' introducing the question of whether it takes two days to [[Resurrection (RDM)|download]]. Anders talks with Roslin about Hera's protection, Agathon infiltrates into the facility and obtains the launch keys. Ellen Tigh is exposed. Admiral Adama gives "the speech."<br />
<br />
===[[Exodus, Part II]]===<br />
*'''c. Day 798 - afternoon''': Ellen Tigh voices her final oratory, and the resistance's bombs initiate the [[Battle of New Caprica]], soon joined by the battlestars. ''Galactica'' afterward conducts a link-up with other ships, involving many emotional reunions, and Admiral Adama finally shaves.<br />
<br />

They finish the match in an embrace and their spouses, Samuel Anders and Anastasia Dualla, leave the deck in disgust.<br />
<br />
===[[The Passage]]===<br />
(There are no clear markers for the amount of time between the previous episode and this one. Given that Doc Cottle estimates that the Fleet has enough food for seven to ten days, and that they have already tried generating emergency rations, which also were contaminated, it has probably been at least a week since the events of "Unfinished Business." The dates here use two weeks, on very little basis.)<br />
*'''c. Day 839''' - Sharon Agathon conducts her recon mission, the Fleet flies through the star cluster, and Kat dies of radiation sickness.<br />
<br />
===[[The Eye of Jupiter]]===<br />
*'''c. Day 853''' (Resupply mission day 14) - Cylons arrive on the same day that Tyrol finds the Temple of Five.<br />
<br />
==Future Events==<br />
<br />
No current future events at this time.<br />
<br />
== Past Predictions ==<br />
<br />
The following is a list of predictions that were made based off information from past episodes during the first run of the series. These predictions have since become obsolete or the events have been addressed in light of events from episodes aired after said predictions were made. They are kept here as a reference.<br />
<br />
*'''Day 50 + 6 Months (c. Day 230):''' Roslin's maximum life expectancy as of Day 50 ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]).<br />
*'''Day 86 + 1 month (c. Day 116):''' Roslin's maximum life expectancy as of Day 86 ([[Flight of the Phoenix]])<br />
**Roslin's cancer is cured by fetal blood from [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon]]'s then-unborn child, [[Hera]] ([[Epiphanies]]).<br />
*'''Day 54 + 3 months (c. Day 144):''' [[Samuel Anders]]'s [[Caprica Resistance]]'s anti-radiation med supply projected to run out ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).<br />
**Anders' group survives in "[[Downloaded]]", c. Day 270. They could have simply found more stockpiles of anti-radiation meds in the intervening time period.<br />
*'''Day 12 + 7 Months (c. Day 222):''' Elections due for President of the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]] ([[Bastille Day]]).<br />
**The elections eventually come, about [[season two timeline discontinuity|two months late]], in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]".<br />
*'''Day 24 + 9 Months (c. Day 294):''' [[Sharon Agathon|"Caprica" Sharon Valerii]]'s daughter born. (see [[#Notes|Notes]] below)<br />
**[[Hera]], daughter of [[Helo]] and [[Sharon Agathon|"Caprica" Sharon Valerii]] is born premature c. Day 270 ([[Downloaded]]).<br />
*'''Day 36 + 3 years (c. Day 1131):''' Fleet runs out of [[tylium]] fuel that was resupplied from the Cylon asteroid mine; assuming that no other sources have been found before this date. ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]])<br />
**We may presume that the Fleet's use of Tylium was essentially halted during the 17+ month stay on New Caprica.<br />
*'''Day 260 (approx) + 18 years (c. Day 6,830)''' Time at which, if the [[Survivor count]] keeps up its current rate of decline and never increases, the human race will simply go extinct, according to Baltar's estimate in "[[The Captain's Hand]]".<br />
**Due to the destruction of ''[[Cloud 9]]'' and surrounding ships in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]", and subsequent casualties during the [[Battle of New Caprica]] ([[Exodus, Part II]]), this figure must be drastically revised.<br />
<br />
==Analysis of Colonial Dates==<br />
<br />
In "[[Hero]]", [[William Adama]]'s [[:md:Image:Dossier.png|dossier]] can be clearly seen. While this document is fairly accurate in terms of Adama's personal history, the dating scheme used in the document seems to be flawed, particularly in lieu of previously established methods of timekeeping demonstrated in the series. <br />
<br />
Here are a list of dates from Adama's past that the dossier contains:<br />
<br />
:H5/21290 Birth of William Adama<br />
:D6/21311 First commission, Battlestar Galactica, fighter squadron<br />
:E4/21312 Commendation for shooting down Cylon fighter in first combat mission.<br />
:D5/21314 Mustered out of service post-armistice<br />
:R6/21317 Served as Deck Hand in merchant fleet and as common […] aboard inter-colony tramp freighters<br />
:D1/21331 Recomissioned to Fleet<br />
:D6/21337 Major: Battlestar [[Atlantia (RDM)|Atlantia]]<br />
:R8/21341 Executive Officer: Battlestar [[Columbia (RDM)|Columbia]]<br />
:C2/21345 Commander: Battlestar [[Valkyrie]]<br />
:C2/21348 Commander: Battlestar Galactica<br />
<br />
This provides some interesting information. The fields in the format X#/##### appear to be dates, with the five-digit string following the solidus apparently corresponding to the year.<br />
<br />
The following can be deduced from this document:<br />
<br />
* This episode marks the 45th anniversary of Adama's commissioning, which puts it in the year 21356, and makes Adama 66 years old.<br />
* Adama spent three years in between being mustered out and finding a job on a tramp freighter. We may speculate that it was during this time that his relationship with first wife [[Caroline Adama|Caroline]] deteriorated.<br />
* Adama spent a total of 14 years serving in the merchant fleet.<br />
* Adama met Tigh roughly 30 years ago ([[Torn]]). That would be 21326, which correctly puts it in the middle of Adama's merchant fleet service.<br />
* Adama was a major by the time he arranged for Tigh to be reinstated in the fleet ([[Scattered]]), which means that at least six years passed in between Adama's recomissioning and Tigh's.<br />
* Ronald Moore stated in his [[Podcast:Scattered|podcast for "Scattered"]] that the flashback scenes in [[Scattered|that episode]] took place 20 years before that episode, or in 21334. In fact, they appear to span at least an eleven-year period between 21326 (Adama and Tigh's first meeting) to 21337 (Adama's promotion to Major).<br />
* The first [[Colonial Day (holiday)|Colonial Day]], marking the unification of the Colonies, was probably in 21302. The one celebrated in "[[Colonial Day]]" was the 52nd, and it is now two years later.<br />
* ''Galactica'' herself is at least 45 years old. Other battlestar's minimum ages prior to the Fall: ''Atlantia'' at least 13, ''Columbia'' at least 11, and ''Valkyrie'' at least 8.<br />
<br />
Additionally, an error occurs in "Hero". Dialogue from this episode claims that Adama served on ''Valkyrie'' one year prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], putting the date of Lt. [[Daniel Novacek|Daniel "Bulldog" Novacek]]'s capture at 21352-53. However, Adama's command of ''Valkryie'' ended in 21348, which means that Adama commanded ''Galactica'' for eight years. It has already been established in dialogue from the [[Miniseries]], "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[The Farm]]". <br />
<br />
=== Inference about dating structure ===<br />
<br />
If the five-digit string following the solidus is in fact the year, as seems inescapable based on the above, the letter-digit sequence before it must indicate the position in the year. There are 260 unique letter-digit sequences of that format, which may indicate a shorter year in the Colonial calendar, essentially a year of twenty-six ten-day weeks. However, what has been revealed about Colonial timekeeping is too incomplete to draw any conclusions.<br />
<br />
However, if the above is to be inferred, a striking inaccuracy occurs because of this service record. Prior episodes have firmly established that the Colonial year is analogous to one Earth year of 365 days. In "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]", the [[Cylon detector]] takes 11 hours to thoroughly test each blood sample. As there are 47,905 tests (526,955 hours) this will take him 21,956 days, which Six then computes will take approximately 60 years, the same as it would here. The dating further established in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]", "[[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]]", and "[[Occupation]]" also support this comparison. <br />
<br />
It is astonishing to learn that the Colonials have -- or believe they have -- over 21,000 years of recorded history. By comparison, Pythia was said to have recorded her prophecies 3,600 years ago ([[The Hand of God]]) and the Great Exodus from [[Kobol]] took place just 2,000 years ago. On [[Earth]], Human civilization is only about 6,000 years old.<br />
<br />
=== Further contradictions ===<br />
<br />
Adama's [[:md:Image:3x8-Hero-ResignationLetter.jpg|resignation letter]] at the end of the episode appears to be dated in an entirely different format. It's difficult to read clearly, but it appears to be dated "27/89/9923".<br />
<br />
In addition, [[:md:Image:Execution Order Signature.png|the execution order]] written by the [[Cylon Occupation Authority]] and signed by then-President Gaius Baltar is dated "this second day of 3454-91" ([[Occupation]]).<br />
<br />
Given this, it is extremely likely that little thought was given to the Colonial calendar dating scheme to date.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
<br />
*The above day listings use a simplistic calendar system with 30 day months and no leap years. The colonial calendar may be more sophisticated.<br />
*The date of Valerii and Agathon's child is speculated from the events in [[Season 1 (2004-05)|Season 1]] and during the events of "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]", assuming that the [[Cylon agent]]s share the same gestation period that humans do, and that the birth of their hybrid daughter is not premature. It is later confirmed that [[Hera]]'s birth occured on Day 270.<br />
*Later episodes in "Season 2.5" such as "Resurrection Ship, Part I" and "Epiphanies" state clearly that "Pegasus" and the episodes immediately following it take place six months after the Cylon Attack. Ron D. Moore did state that it took Tyrol "weeks" to construct the Blackbird and a large amount of time passes in this episode as a result. ''BattlestarWiki'' originally assumed this meant at most 2-4 weeks. However, the only plausible way that Pegasus and Resurrection Ship, Part I can take place six months after the attack is if "Flight of the Phoenix" actually lasted''' three months '''from beginning to end. Roslin was told in this episode that her cancer had accelerated, and she had only one month to live. As Cally's "welcome back" party happened earlier in the episode, when she was released from the brig around Day 86, a considerable period of time (several weeks at least) pass between these two scenes.<br />
*The Colonial calendar is fairly similar to the Gregorian calendar, using 24 hour days and approximatly 365 day years. The best example of this is in "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]", where Baltar says that each test takes 11 hours. As there are 47,905 tests, amounting to 526,955 hours worth of tests, this will take him 21,956 days -- 60.1534 years (as confirmed by Baltar's [[Number Six|Internal Six]]), the same as it would on Earth.<br />

== Overview ==<br />
:''Starvation threatens the population after the food-processing systems become contaminated, but the Fleet is cut off from a food source by the intense radiation put out by a huge star cluster. ''Galactica'''s pilots must guide the civilian vessels on a dangerous journey directly through the radiation.''<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
=== On ''[[Galactica]]'' ===<br />
*[[Sharon Agathon|Athena]] flies a [[Raptor]] through a blinding, immensely bright gas cloud. The Raptor's outer skin is charring from the intense heat. Athena is managing to fight off the intense radiation buildup surrounding her, thanks to her [[Cylon agent|Cylon physiology]], but a radiation monitor badge she wears is changing color from white, spotting to an ominous black.<br />
*Elsewhere in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]], President [[Laura Roslin]] summarizes the contamination of the basic foodstuff material storage used to feed everyone, from soldier to civilian. The situation is dire; 7 to 10 days of rations remain. The Fleet is starving.<br />
*A group of pilots, including [[Lee Adama]], [[Kara Thrace]], [[Hot Dog]] and [[Louanne Katraine]], are combining what little food they have and sharing it, down to the last crumb.<br />
*Admiral [[William Adama]] and his command staff await Athena's return from her reconnaisance mission to what they believe is a [[Algae planet|planet with algae]]. The algae, according to Dr. [[Cottle]], isn't extremely palatable but is protein-rich and will allow them to restock their food stores and survive. Athena is three hours late from return.<br />
*Athena does make it back to ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. While her radiation badge is black, her Cylon physiology protects her (although she is obviously uncomfortable). She reports success; the planet is teeming with algae.<br />
*But the travel through the star cluster is extremely dangerous. Two [[FTL|jumps]] are required to reach the planet on the other side of the cluster, which cannot be circumnavigated. The navigation computers of any civilian ships inside the cluster would be inoperative due to insufficient shielding and the intense radiation leaves a ship only minutes to gather their bearings for the second jump out before they absorb a fatal dose of radiation. Any ship would also have to endure the intense heat as well.<br />
*''Galactica'' alone cannot be used to ferry the people, and the civilian ships alone would not make the trip as they would get lost within the cluster cloud. There is too much algae for ''Galactica'' to bring the food to the people in time.<br />
*The Adamas consider the use of the Raptors, whose navigation systems are radiation-hardened to protect against nuclear strikes, as pilot ships that will guide a group of civilian ships at a time by visual reckoning, relaying the proper jump coordinates once visual sighting is made to get the ships to the other side. Five jumps are needed, and skeleton crews are used on each civilian ship to limit the Fleet's possible losses, with the civilians temporarily transferred to ''Galactica'', which will survive the radiation effects thanks to the [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar's]] dense hull plating ([[Miniseries]]).<br />
*A group of civilians are bunked on ''Galactica'' from the civilian ships. One of them recognizes Kat, but calls out for her by another name: "Sasha." Kat reacts angrily to the man, [[Enzo]], and barely acknowledges his call before warning him to back off.<br />
*The pilots are briefed on the plan, and each given radiation badges. When Major Adama encourages the use of [[stims]], Kat objects, warning that stims work by boosting the body's metabolism. In their starvation state, the stims would make them ill. Adama leaves the use of the drug to the pilot's discretion.<br />
*Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] returns to the [[CIC]] and is greeted by a round of applause from the crew. He promptly reminds them that they have "jobs to do," resuming his post as [[XO]] of ''Galactica''. Admiral Adama keeps a quiet smile to himself as he notices Tigh's return, knowing his friend would not care to be particularly noticed.<br />
*The first outbound flight into the cluster begins. The ''[[Adriatic]]'' is lost when its Raptor guide, flown by [[Hot Dog]], cannot locate her.<br />
*Successive trips continue, but another ship, the ''[[Carina]]'', guided by Kat, is lost as well, which greatly angers and saddens her. She stays in the cloud a few minutes too long during her extended search, and her radiation badge becomes dark.<br />
*In the [[hangar deck]], Thrace notices Enzo interacting with Kat and gets suspicious. She later questions Enzo and later, Kat.<br />
*Kat begs Thrace not to tell Admiral Adama about her past life as a drug runner and the fact that she acquired her name, "Louanne Katraine," from a child that died two days before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]], using it to clear ''Galactica'''s pilot screening when she was a [[nugget]]. Thrace accepts her offer, warning her to embrace who she really is.<br />
*Feeling backed into a corner, Kat is physically stressed. Her hair is falling out, a sign of radiation poisoning. Fearful of what will happen to her if Admiral Adama finds out about her past, she chooses to continue her Raptor flights, swapping her radiation badge with [[Helo]]'s. She allows herself a sexual romp with Enzo before preparing for the last outbound flight.<br />
*The last outbound trip is more destructive. Even ''Galactica'' cannot withstand the heat and begins to suffer heat-related decompression failures throughout its hull. Adama orders his son to wrap out visual sighting and perform the escape jump.<br />
*Kat cannot find her last ship. Realizing she had already absorbed too much radiation, she elects to remain in the cloud to continue searching for her lost ship.<br />
*''Galactica'' waits for several frightening minutes until both Kat's Raptor and the last civilian ship rejoin them.<br />
*Kat is greeted by the command staff and many crewmembers to celebrate her accomplishment. The young pilot pumps her arms in the air and tries to remove her helmet before she collapses from radiation poisoning.<br />
*In [[sickbay]], Kara Thrace talks to Kat, whose exposure to the cloud's radiation was too extreme. Thrace recants a part of her conversation with Kat and her origins, and tries unsuccessfully to leave Kat's bedside with a smile before leaving the dying pilot with a bottle of sleeping pills as a gesture of self-euthanization. Kat thanks her.<br />
*Admiral Adama stands by Kat's bedside immediately after Thrace's departure. Kat attempts to confess her past, but Adama tells her that her past will not change the heroic thing she did for the Fleet. He gives her the status of [[CAG]] once more, a position she held from colonization of [[New Caprica]] to Major Adama's return to ''Galactica'', despite the fact that Kat will not survive to fly again.<br />
*Adama stays at Kat's bedside, talking with her and how he would have loved to have had a third child, commenting that he, like his ex-wife, [[Caroline Adama|Caroline]], would have liked a daughter.<br />
*Some time later, the pilots assemble in their [[Pilot ready rooms|ready room]] as Admiral Adama changes the pilot organization chart, placing Kat as the CAG.<br />
*Kara Thrace enters ''Galactica'''s memorial hallway and tacks a photo of Kat on the board. She cries quietly as Lee Adama looks on from a distance.<br />
<br />
=== On a [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] ===<br />
*Baltar notices that [[Number Three]] keeps going off somewhere and wonders what she is doing. [[Caprica-Six]] tells him that the other [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] are also concerned about Three's activities.<br />
*Baltar confronts Three about her unexplained absences and surmises that she has been dying and resurrecting over and over again.<br />
*Baltar and Three discuss the final five [[Cylon agent]]s, who are apparently the figures Three has been seeing between life and death. Baltar wonders aloud if he could be one of them, making him a hero to the Cylons instead of a traitor to the Colonials. Three tries to hold onto the memory of what they look like, but it always fades. Her drawings of them aren't very distinct. <br />
*Baltar and Three visit the [[Hybrid]]'s chamber. Against Three's advice, Baltar reaches out to touch the Hybrid and she grabs his hand. More coherent than usual, the Hybrid says a number of cryptic clues and returns to her usual behavior.<br />
*Baltar deduces from the clues that the Hybrid is referring to a planet where the Eye of Jupiter can be found, as well as something related to the final five. Baltar states that he is convinced that everything the Hybrid says has meaning.<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
*Was the Fleet-wide failure of food-processing systems a result of sabotage? If so, were Cylons responsible, or someone else?<br />
*If the star cluster emits so much radiation, how was the Fleet able to infer that a particular planet on the opposite side would be rich in algae?<br />
*Was assisted suicide an accepted practice in the Colonies, even if not by a practicing physician?<br />
*Are there going to be radiation consequences for the pilots exposed to the conditions of the star cluster, especially those pilots who did in fact have a black indicator?<br />
*How many pilots and crew were lost on the two civilian ships ''Adriatic'' and ''Carina''? Will their loss cause problems for the civilians that used to live on them?<br />
*Were there any other ships lost besides ''Adriatic'' and ''Carina''?<br />
*Other Cylons were seen to attend Three during her resurrection in "[[Hero]]". How has she been able to keep subsequent resurrections secret?<br />
**Are the 'nurse' Cylons at the Resurrection ship aware of Three's attempts to discover who the final five are? If so, are they remaining silent in hope that Three would accomplish this task?<br />
*During the brief martial law when Roslin was ousted as President, she and Apollo hid inside a meat refigeration locker. Was all the "real" food, such as meat, fresh fruits, and drinks all used up or left behind on New Caprica?<br />
*If there was no food contamination, how long would the Fleet's food supply have lasted?<br />
*Is there a centralized food distribution system in place for the Fleet?<br />
*Why are the final five Cylons kept so secretive? Why do they exist in the place between death and resurrection?<br />
*Who will supplant [[Kat]] as Squadron leader?<br />
<br />
== Analysis ==<br />
*Adama may have already abandoned his declaration from "[[Unfinished Business]]," as his treatment of Kat during her final hours suggests.<br />
*The ranking shuffle resumes in this episode: Tigh returns to the CIC as XO, sending Helo back to the flight lines as a senior flight officer (his rank of Captain seems unaffected). At the end of the episode, Kat is posthumously given honorary CAG status, although Apollo is still ''de facto'' CAG.<br />
*Baltar calls the Number Three "D'Anna", to which she responds. This may indicate acceptance of Baltar's custom of referring to and addressing some models by their "human" names—in this same scene, Baltar refers to "the relevant Simon" and in prior episodes refers to "one of the Dorals"' views on toilet paper. This custom is shared with the other humans, such as Ellen Tigh who mentions "one of the Brother Cavils," and Adama, who refers to both the [[Ragnar Anchorage]] copy and the stowaway copy in "[[Flesh and Bone]]" as "Leoben Conoy."<br />
*Gaeta was one of the few in CIC not to applaud Tigh's return to duty. This may be due to lingering feelings of resentment over his treatment by Tigh and the [[The Circle|Circle]].<br />
*Since this model has memories of viewing the footage acquired by the Galactica copy of D'anna Biers on Caprica (seen in flashback in "[[Hero]]"), we can rule out the possibility that both are the same individual.<br />
*Number Three does not know what the final five Cylon agent models look like, at least not consciously.<br />
*No anti-radiation injections were seen to be used by the pilots. Unless they were administered offscreen this could either mean that the Fleet's supplies are used up, or that even the medication doesn't help against such intense levels of stellar radiation. Oddly, pilots were not issue with anti-radiation suits (worn by the deck crew) or put on a rotation to limit their individual exposure.<br />
*While it has not been conclusively established that the five figures are in fact the "Final Five" Cylon agents, the first sketch of the alleged "Final Five" that Number Three shows Baltar depicts two male and three female figures. If this proves accurate then of the twelve Cylon models there are six males and six females.<br />
*Baltar's grooming has declined steadily since the Fall of the Colonies. While no longer a messy drunk as he was on [[New Caprica]], he has grown a scraggly and untrimmed beard.<br />
* One of D'Anna's sketches in particular appears to depict the profile of a mustached and bearded male with long hair—a possible reference to Baltar; later in the episode after Baltar communes with the hybrid, D'Anna says "Could there be a connection between their gods and ours?" where "their" refers to the polytheistic human pantheon and "ours," the Cylon single god, a possible slip on her part indicating that she believes Baltar to be a Cylon, or that D'Anna believes Baltar has accepted the Cylon religion, and so no longer counts him as following human beliefs.<br />
**She may be using "ours" to refer to all cylons, not just herself.<br />
*"Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light, in the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow," is what the Hybrid tells Baltar. Baltar analyses "the eye of the cow" to be Hera (since she was referred to as "cow-eyed Hera"). The husband of Hera is Jupiter, which yields: "Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light, in the Eye of Jupiter." The Eye of Jupiter is also written about in the ancient texts, which prompts Three to believe there may be a connection to the Colonial and Cylon gods. According to Baltar, the Eye of Jupiter is most likely some kind of artifact (like the [[Arrow of Apollo]]), located on a planet in the shadow of a bright star cluster. The "hand" is believed to be a reference to the number five, meaning the Eye of Jupiter will contain or point to information about the Final Five. Interestingly, the Fleet has gathered protein from a planet in a bright star cluster in this episode. This will probably mean that the Cylons will run into the Colonials when they find the right planet, much like in "[[A Measure of Salvation]]," but reversed as the Cylons found the [[Lion's Head Nebula]] before the Fleet did.<br />
*The possible connection between the Colonial pantheon and the Cylon god which Three comments on was previously indicated in "[[Exodus, Part I]]," by the statements of Oracle [[Dodona Selloi]], with whom Three conferred.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
*This is one of the few times an Air Group organization chart is visible. Kat, as the honorary [[CAG]], is in the top slot, while directly below her are the squadron leaders, which are [[Lee Adama|Apollo]], [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]], [[Two Times]], and a fourth whose name is never visible to the camera. Other names visible on the chart include [[Narcho]], [[Switch]], [[Chopper]], [[Raygun]], [[Helo]], [[Fuzzy]], [[Athena]], [[Racetrack]], and [[Sever]]. Pilots and [[ECO]]s may be listed below their squadron leaders in descending order of seniority, as both [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] and [[Brendan Constanza|Hot Dog]], for example, are listed directly beneath Starbuck, and the two of them are among the senior flight officers for ''Galactica''.<br />
*A [[Straits of Madagon|perilous journey]] by the [[The Fleet (TOS)|"rag-tag" Fleet]] in the [[Original Series]], where pilots are also critical to the Fleet's safety, appears in its series premiere, "[[Saga of a Star World]]." <br />
*"The Passage" was written by ''Galactica'' newcomer [[Jane Espenson]]. The episode arose when the show brought in Dr. [[Kevin Grazier]], a scientist from the [[w:Jet Propulsion Laboratory|Jet Propulsion Laboratory]], who talked about how one would navigate through space; how one would figure out how to get from one point in the to universe to, for example, Earth. Grazier's talk prompted the story at the heart of Espenson's episode.<br />
*On the memorial wall Kat's picture is placed below the one of [[Reilly]]'s girlfriend she herself put there in "[[Scar]]".<br />
*This episode marks the destruction of two civilian ships, the ''[[Adriatic]]'' and ''[[Carina]]''. This will likely result in more crowded conditions on the other ships in [[the Fleet]].<br />
*This is the second episode in which dialog has been censored in the [[w:Sci Fi Channel (United States)|Sci Fi Channel]] broadcast. Starbuck sarcastically proclaims she gave Dr. [[Cottle]] "[[w:fellatio|head]]" in response to Kat saying she gave him her protein bar.<br />
*Though the actual dialog between Baltar and D'Anna employs the name "Jupiter," the closed-captioning subtitles uses "Zeus" instead. This discrepancy and the question as to why the Roman name Jupiter would be used instead of its Greek counterpart may indicate that the original script employed the name Zeus before. However, there is precedence for using gods from the Roman pantheon; namely Mars and Mercury.<br />
*[[Brendan Constanza|Brendan "Hot Dog" Constanza]] is now the only survivor of the three nuggets originally introduced in "[[Act of Contrition]]."<br />
*[[Hoshi]] appears in the CIC, sharing Dualla's duties. Other ''Pegasus'' crew members to have made the transfer to ''Galactica'' include [[Marcia Case|Marcia "Showboat" Case]], seen on the flight roster at the end of the episode, and [[Noel Allison|Noel "Narcho" Allison]] seen in "[[Torn]]."<br />
*When Starbuck puts Kat's picture on the memorial wall, a note just above it reads "God rest your souls" - not "''Gods'' rest your souls," a rare departure from the established [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies|Colonial polytheism]].<br />
<br />
== Noteworthy Dialogue ==<br />
<br />
*''Adama and Tigh discuss the food shortage''<br />
::'''Adama:''' I hear they're still eating paper. Is that true?<br />
::'''Tigh:''' No. Paper shortage.<br />
<br />
*''Starbuck gives a last minute pep talk to the pilots''<br />
::'''Starbuck:''' Remember, we're all flying solo on this mission. So that means there'll be nobody there to bitch slap you if you start to get tired or start seeing little toasters on your wing.<br />
<br />
*''Baltar and Three confront the Hybrid'':<br />
::'''Hybrid''': [Suddenly grabs Baltar's hand] Intelligence! A mind that burns like a fire!<br />
::'''Baltar''': Yes, I'm here.<br />
::'''Hybrid''': Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light, in the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow.<br />
::'''Baltar''': [Removes his hand from the Hybrid's tank.]<br />
::'''Three''': You all right? It just speaks nonsense, doesn't it?<br />
::'''Baltar''': I don't think anything it says is nonsense.<br />
<br />
== Official Statements ==<br />
''In [[Ron Moore]]'s blog on [http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/ July 27th, 2006]:''<br />
<br />
:"We were pretty excited to have Jane too. I actually took Jane's first pitch way back in my early days at ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek|Star Trek]]'' and I had the pleasure of buying what turned out to be her first sale. I hadn't seen her since, but I'd followed her career from afar and was very proud to see her do so well. Turns out that Jane was a huge fan of ''Galactica'' and really wanted to do a script for us, so we jumped on the chance. I think we're all hoping that we could get her on staff at some point in the future, but we'll have to wait and see how everything shakes out for Season Four -- and whether she's even available, she's very much in demand these days. Her episode this year is "The Passage" (originally Ep 9) and deals with a harrowing voyage of the rag-tag fleet and focuses on Kat."<br />
<br />
''[[Jane Espenson]] discusses writing the episode''<br />
<br />
: "My episode originally had a [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] story threaded through it that had to be cut in later drafts because there was just too much story in the episode as a whole, and I missed it, just because she was so much fun to write. And any character with a strong opinion on what's going on in the episode is always fun and easy to write.<br />
<br />
: "The hardest stuff to write in this episode wasn't because of any hard-to-capture voices but because there was a big chunk of mission-planning exposition that had to be done as clearly and as quickly as possible. That is always the very hardest stuff to write, setting down the rules without sounding like a textbook. It was challenging, but so nice when I felt like I'd gotten it right."<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/12/06/jane-espenson-answers-your-battlestar-questions/|title=TV Squad: Jane Espenson answers your Battlestar questions|date=6 December 2006|accessdate=11 December 2006|last=McDuffee|first=Keith|format=|language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
''Epsenson talks about the scientific aspects of the episode:''<br />
<br />
: "When I was given this episode, all the technical stuff about globular star clusters was given to me. And the writers were really patient in explaining technical stuff about the FTL drive and jump co-ordinates and the fact that you can't talk on the wireless over a jump-boundary -- I originally had Galactica in contact with Sharon-Athena while she out in the cluster doing her original recon, but that obviously didn't make sense. I received lots of help from the show's tech adviser, who is wonderful, and who explained all sorts of interesting things to me about how radiation differs from radioactivity and how gravitational forces are more likely to damage large ships than small ones.... The research that I really did on my own was about figuring out how the fleet had been making food prior to this crisis. The explanation was cut for length, but in one draft it was stated that the fleet "grew" meat from cloned cells and that it was this system that got so badly contaminated. As for the algae, I think that was already in place when I was given the story... it's just an obvious alternative protein source."<ref name="espenson-2">{{cite_web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/12/11/jane-espenson-on-post-the-passage-questions/|title=TV Squad: Jane Espenson on post-The Passage questions|date=11 November 2006|accessdate=11 November 2006|last=McDuffee|first=Keith|format=|language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
''Espenson discusses the [[Hybrid]]'s dialogue:''<br />
<br />
: "I wrote this for the Hybrid in that pre-grab moment: 'Seascape portrait of the woman-child cavern of the soul under pressure-heat ratio--' which is, I think, what we hear. But there is at least one BSG writer who can generate pages of beautiful, haunting and resonant Hybrid-speak at will. He writes lots of her stuff and more power to him!"<ref name="espenson-2"/><br />
<br />
''Espenson discusses scenes that were cut from the script due to time constraints:''<br />
<br />
: "I think I got a more-than-fair edit! I was amazed! The draft that was shot was way too long -- we all knew it was too long. So lots of scenes had to be cut -- two Adama/Kat scenes that I can think of. A Lee/Dualla scene, a Lee/Starbuck scene, an Adama/Tigh scene, lots and lots of Sharon/Helo stuff... the fact that the episode holds together, that it makes sense and has emotional punch... wow. And that's not even counting lots of Cylon stuff, Laura stuff and [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] stuff that got cut before shooting! This show is so rich, the world is so full, and there are emotions along every axis between every pairing of characters, that it's incredibly easy to find things that you just HAVE to explore. This is part of what gives the series such a great voyeuristic quality... as a viewer you just KNOW that there are scenes that have played out between these people that you have never seen, and you get to infer what they must've been. I like that the edit of this episode hints at the things unseen. And I love that despite the time pressures, moments were allowed to play out... Kat watching her fellow pilots suffer, Kat in the mirror, the final hospital scene... I think it was a lovely edit."<ref name="espenson-2"/><br />
<br />
''Espenson discusses fan's expectation of humor from her stories and their pertinence to "The Passage":''<br />
<br />
: "I know people expect humor from me. I hope they understand why, given a story about Kat's redemptive and unglamorous death, I kept the funny knob turned down -- couldn't resist the giddy Tigh-Adama scene, however, and my personal favorite line the piece, Baltar's "You've got goo in your hair." Anyway, I hope the fans liked what they saw; I hope it felt real; I hope I get to write more Battlestar episodes, and get to play some more with these wonderful characters and their tragic, human, uplifting lives."<ref name="espenson-2"/><br />

== Overview ==<br />
:''[[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]] makes a stop at a planet and discovers the location of a [[The Temple of Five|religious artifact]] that may further lead the way to [[Earth]]—for both the Colonials and the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]].''<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
* The [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] is mending its wounds from its passage to the [[algae planet]]. The harvest proceeds well and is into its 14th day, and appears to be closing up shop.<br />
*[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] flies from ''[[Galactica]]'' to the harvest camp in a [[Raptor]], intentionally creating more noise than usual. [[Lee Adama]] is managing the harvest operations with his wife, [[Anastasia Dualla]].<br />
*When Major Adama leaves to greet Kara Thrace, Dualla's face barely hides her disappointment and frustration at Adama's hasty departure.<br />
*Major Adama greets Thrace with an admonishment of her piloting, but his comments are very brief; the two pilots embrace and passionately kiss.<br />
*Adama wants he and Thrace to stop hiding their feelings and divorce their respective spouses. Thrace reminds him that marriage in the eyes of the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Lords of Kobol|gods]] is a sacrament; she has made a vow she will not break. Adama reminds her that their repeated secret encounters would be frowned on by the gods as well. Adama becomes frustrated, Thrace holds her position, and the two are left trapped in their feelings.<br />
*On a [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]], the little human/Cylon hybrid, [[Hera]], is crying and is not well. [[Gaius Baltar]] is awakened by her cries and visits the child, who is attended by the [[Number Eight]] known once as [[Sharon Valerii]].<br />
*[[Galen Tyrol]] is part of the harvest team. He is repeatedly distracted by something which apparently only he can sense, and keeps looking out towards the unexplored hills beyond the harvest site. [[Samuel Anders]], also working on the harvest, comments that the algae harvest tastes as badly as it smells. Tyrol jokes that the algae is "breakfast, lunch and dinner until we can find a hot-fudge planet."<br />
*After sensing something strange one time too many, Tyrol leaves the harvest camp and begins a trek to a mountainous area. He discovers a door--not a naturally-carved one, but a rectangular door, apparently constructed by human hands.<br />
*Tyrol enters the door and walks through a passageway into an immensely large domed room, carved from within the mountain. In the center of the room is a center spire that reaches high into the structure. The spire is surrounded by five pentagonal obelisks. The center spire has ancient tribal carvings at the bottom, as well as illuminated crystalline pillars atop it. Tyrol, the son of a [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Clergy|priest]] and an [[oracle]], has a fair idea of what he has discovered: The [[Temple of Five]].<br />
*[[Laura Roslin]] discusses what she knows with Tyrol over [[wireless]] about this special [[Temple|temple]] as it is told in the [[Sacred Scrolls]] in Admiral [[William Adama]]'s quarters. But before they can digest the information further, they are alerted to four [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]] that [[FTL|jump]] into orbit of the planet and move towards the Fleet.<br />
*Admiral Adama orders the civilian Fleet to escape to [[emergency jump coordinates]], but leaves ''[[Galactica]]'' behind; Adama does not want to repeat the situation on [[New Caprica]], where he retreated with the remains of the Fleet and abandoned the colonists there. Adama chooses to stay to protect his harvest team until they can escape. He and Roslin also agree that, if the Temple of Five has a marker to [[Earth]], they must not let the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] take it.<br />
*However, very uncharacteristically, the Cylons do not attack. In fact, they request communications with Adama. The voice that Adama hears is not a welcome one: It is [[Gaius Baltar]]'s.<br />
*The Cylons request a meeting on ''Galactica'' to discuss the [[Eye of Jupiter]]. The [[Number Three]] copy that Baltar calls [[D'Anna Biers|D'Anna]], a copy of [[Cavil]], Baltar, and the [[Number Eight]] copy once known as [[Sharon Valerii]] board the battlestar under heavy [[marine]] guard.<br />
*The virtual [[Number Six]] in Baltar's mind warns him that, while he may feel like he has returned home, he cannot stay: The Colonials would "toss (him) into an airlock and have a party."<br />
*On the way to the meeting, [[Sharon Agathon]] recognizes the Eight copy as the former "Boomer" Valerii. Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] denies her entry into the meeting. The two Eights are left outside the doorway, facing each other with mutual looks of contempt.<br />
*The two sides meet. Baltar attempts to take the initiative in an attempt to serve as a mediator, but this infuriates Roslin that she leaves the meeting. Adama receives the Cylon's terms: Leave peacefully so that they can gather the [[Eye of Jupiter]], and they will not attack. Cavil adds the surrender of Baltar to the terms as well, to the former president's and Three's shock.<br />
*Boomer-Eight tells Sharon Agathon that Hera is alive, but unwell, on their basestar. Agathon refuses to believe her.<br />
*Admiral Adama is not amused. He warns that ''Galactica'' will destroy the planet's treasures with his nuclear arsenal should the Cylons attempt to land on the planet. The two sides depart in a state of détente.<br />
*Admiral Adama manages to get an order to his son of the situation and to destroy the site if the Cylons invade before the Cylons jam all wireless communications.<br />
*Major Adama instructs Samuel Anders to organize fireteams to defend against a probable Cylon incursion. Anders, also realizing what Adama has been doing with Thrace, is very angry and initially refuses to oblige until Thrace asks him to comply.<br />
*[[Cally Tyrol|Cally]] and Galen Tyrol speak in the temple. He tells her of how he was annoyed at his parents and their worship. [[Cally Tyrol]] sees reverence on his face, despite his general mood of disbelief.<br />
*Lieutenant [[Felix Gaeta]] has conducted some scans of the star system of the algae planet. He warns that the sun of this system is in danger of becoming a supernova very soon. Gaeta, who normally is as secular as his commander, finds it very strange how the Cylons and Colonials arrive at this one place at this time just before the planet's imminent destruction. Adama notes that the "higher powers" at work appear to have a strange sense of humor.<br />
*The [[basestar command]], with [[Caprica-Six]] and Baltar in attendance, discuss their plan to get the Eye. Cavil feels that annilihation of ''Galactica'' is the best option with the standoff (given that they are machines that can wait out humanity for years and find Earth eventually).<br />
*D'Anna, without consulting the other Cylons, has solely initiated the jamming of Colonial communications, and has already sent a [[Heavy Raider]] with a squad of [[Cylon Centurion|Centurions]] to the planet as the basestar fleet jumped in, successfully avoiding Colonial detection. This action infuriates the others, particularly Caprica-Six.<br />
*D'Anna notes that, as soon as the Centurions recover the Eye, the other Cylons can destroy ''Galactica.''<br />
*The Colonials, with Anders at the lead, plan out their defense on the planet. One team will manage ammunition distribution, another team will create [[tylium]] mines.<br />
*As the harvest team-turned-point defense teams leave the tent, Major Adama compliments Anders for his honest, to-the-point direction to the group, indicating that Anders would make a good officer. Anders scoffs at Adama's compliment, inferring that he knows what Adama and Thrace have been doing. When Adama tries to object, Anders tells Adama not to insult his intelligence, as he is aware that Adama is not that only one that Thrace has enjoyed sexual company with.<br />
*On the basestar, in the [[Hybrid]]'s room, D'Anna-Three is savoring the opportunity to see the faces of the final five [[Cylon agent]]s--"maybe the face of [[God]] himself." The Hybrid notes, in her quizzical manner, that the "five lights of the apocalypse" and the "sins" will be revealed only to the "chosen one," lifting her head and staring directly at Baltar as she repeats, "the chosen one." D'Anna's eyes are closed and is not aware that the Hybrid is addressing Baltar.<br />
*Caprica-Six enters and questions D'Anna's intentions. D'Anna dismisses their three-way relationship as she tells of her plan to leave with Baltar to discover the secrets of the Temple. Six is visibly hurt at being left behind.<br />
*The planet team begin their final preparations, led by Dualla. With [[wireless]] jammed, she notes how hardwired observation points are to be created to warn of any Cylon advance, with Starbuck's Raptor taking point with directions to fly to the nearest observation point to relay any sightings. Thrace's annoyance at Dualla's precise direction leads to some catty replies by Thrace, that Dualla ignores.<br />
*As the observation teams take their positions, Starbuck begins her recon flight. As she turns along a ravine, she spots the Centurion emplacement and is immediately fired upon by the Cylon's missile battery. Starbuck tries to evade and successfully manages to relay that she found Centurions before her Raptor is struck by a missile. With the controls on fire and visibility lost, Starbuck screams as she keeps her hands on the flight controls and fights for control of the Raptor. Starbuck being shot down is the first shot fired and the first material loss of the [[Battle of the Algae Planet]].<br />
*As President Roslin explores what little is known about the Temple of Five from a book of the Sacred Scrolls, Admiral Adama interrupts her. He tells her of Boomer's return and asks if the story of Hera's faked death was true. Roslin admits the truth. When she tries to explain the reasons why, Adama abruptly leaves in anger.<br />
*Adama tells the Agathons of Hera's discovery, and neither are pleased. When Helo argues how painful it was for them and how Adama should know the pain of the moment, Adama reminds him that, unlike [[Zak Adama|his son]], their child is still alive, and that they should be grateful for that. Sharon Agathon wants to see her child.<br />
*Adama reports to Anders that Starbuck's Raptor has gone down, but also tells him that a rescue mission is out of the question; they haven't enough manpower to rescue Thrace and defend their position.<br />
*Six Heavy Raiders leave a basestar towards the planet.<br />
*''Galactica'' sees the Heavy Raiders on [[DRADIS]] immediately. Tigh feels that this is a test to see if the Colonials are bluffing. Roslin believes that they were bluffing until Adama orders [[Hoshi]] to arm of a series of missile tubes, each containing a nuclear missile.<br />
*As Anders argues for Thrace's rescue, Adama explodes in defense of the mission, arguing the point that he has known and cared for Thrace for much longer than Anders, who tells Adama he is going after his wife. Adama's troops hold Anders at gunpoint.<br />

== Questions ==<br />
*Will Adama go through with his plan to nuke the planet?<br />
*Did Starbuck survive the crash of her Raptor?<br />
*What is the [[Eye of Jupiter]] and how does it point the way to [[Earth]]?<br />
*How much truth is there to Ander's claim of Kara's chronic infidelity ("You think you're the first?")?<br />
*How will Athena and Helo knowing their child is still alive affect their relationship with Adama?<br />
*How will Adama finding out Hera is still alive affect his relationship with Roslin?<br />
*Is there a connection between the Temple of the Five and the five missing Cylon models?<br />
*Who or what is "The One Whose Name Cannot Be [Told(?)]" whom the Five supposedly follow? Is this a reference to [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Jealous God|the Jealous God]], who may or may not be the "one true God" of the Cylons?<br />
*What are the "sins" of the Five that the Hybrid speaks of?<br />
*Who is the "Chosen One" that the Hybrid speaks of?<br />
*What consequences will Number Three's actions have within the Cylon society?<br />
*What is the Fleet doing without the presence of ''Galactica''?<br />
*Will there be further confrontations between the two "Sharon Valerii"-type [[Number Eight|Eight]] models, as seen in the passageway tirade between [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] and [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]]?<br />
*Were the Cylons really willing to hand Baltar over to the Fleet?<br />
*When did [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] go over to the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons']] way of thinking? In this episode she clearly doesn't seem to think of herself as human anymore like she did in "[[Downloaded]]."<br />
**Was the Cylon that was pointed out to be Boomer the same one that has been seen amongst the Cylon baseship leadership? If so, then her turning over to the Cylon side was complete by the time the Cylons had abandoned New Caprica.<br />
*Is there a connection between Athena & Helo's Hera and the Eye of Jupiter?<br />
*Does Dualla know about the affair between Lee and Kara?<br />
*Will Hera be rescued from the Cylon baseship and returned to Athena?<br />
*Did Adama inform Athena and Helo that it was the President who ordered the secret adoption of Hera? From the dialog, it seems to indicate that Helo believes Adama was aware of the secret from the start.<br />
*What, if anything, will happen when the shaft of light reaches the center of the symbol in the temple? Is this in some way related to the imminent supernova?<br />
*If Adama does fire the nuclear weapons, will the Baseships destroy them before they reach the surface?<br />
<br />
== Analysis ==<br />
*At least eighteen people perished as a result of navigating through the radiation field of the star cluster.<br />
*This episode ends the debate whether [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] knew about [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]]'s secret plan to hide [[Hera]] ("[[Downloaded]]", "[[Exodus, Part I]]") -- he did not know.<br />
*[[Caprica-Six]] and [[D'Anna Biers|D'Anna]]'s dialogue indicates that they have been intimate with each other as well as with [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]].<br />
*This is the first time the Cylons use "human" names on the basestar when not speaking to Baltar. D'Anna is named by Caprica-Six and another Number Three. Cavil's name is used by D'Anna.<br />
*Coincidence (and destiny / predestination) seems to be a major theme with this episode: the humans & Cylons show up at the planet at the same time; the temple is discovered by Tyrol, son of a priest who revered this place; the planet is orbiting a star that will go nova within days.<br />
*At an unknown point in time, ''Galactica'' acquired at least three more nuclear warheads, bringing the total to at least six; beginning the series with five and using one to destroy a basestar ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]) and another being detonated by [[Gina]] on ''[[Cloud 9]]'' ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). ''[[Pegasus]]'' may be the source, as these warheads may have been resupplied from ''Pegasus'''s arsenal, which likely occurred during the events of "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]".<br />
*When the Hybrid speaks of the Chosen One, she looks directly at Baltar, not D'Anna, who has her eyes closed.<br />
*Kara Thrace's explanation of marriage as a sacrament is similar to the [[w:Annulment (Catholic Church)|principles of the Roman Catholic Church]]. In this religion, a marriage between a baptized man and woman is one of the seven sacraments of the faith. A sacramental marriage cannot be dissolved, but only reviewed later to determine if the marriage was valid at all. If the marriage is invalid, an annulment is allowed. This suggests, by extension, that Thrace and Anders have had [[dedication ceremony|dedication ceremonies]] (the Colonial equivalent of baptism) if such as requirement is needed by the gods.<br />

<br />
: "When I wrote this episode, the upcoming episode was already well along, and it was called "Eye of [[Zeus]]." So all the dialogue in my episode reflected that. It got changed to Jupiter later, and I don't know why. It's always hard to get names to legally clear.

== Overview ==<br />
:''[[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]] makes a stop at a planet and discovers the location of a [[The Temple of Five|religious artifact]] that may further lead the way to [[Earth]]—for both the Colonials and the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]].''<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
* The [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] is mending its wounds from its passage to the [[algae planet]]. The harvest proceeds well and is into its 14th day, and appears to be closing up shop.<br />
*[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] flies from ''[[Galactica]]'' to the harvest camp in a [[Raptor]], intentionally creating more noise than usual. [[Lee Adama]] is managing the harvest operations with his wife, [[Anastasia Dualla]].<br />
*When Major Adama leaves to greet Kara Thrace, Dualla's face barely hides her disappointment and frustration at Adama's hasty departure.<br />
*Major Adama greets Thrace with an admonishment of her piloting, but his comments are very brief; the two pilots embrace and passionately kiss.<br />
*Adama wants he and Thrace to stop hiding their feelings and divorce their respective spouses. Thrace reminds him that marriage in the eyes of the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Lords of Kobol|gods]] is a sacrament; she has made a vow she will not break. Adama reminds her that their repeated secret encounters would be frowned on by the gods as well. Adama becomes frustrated, Thrace holds her position, and the two are left trapped in their feelings.<br />
*On a [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]], the little human/Cylon hybrid, [[Hera]], is crying and is not well. [[Gaius Baltar]] is awakened by her cries and visits the child, who is attended by the [[Number Eight]] known once as [[Sharon Valerii]].<br />
*[[Galen Tyrol]] is part of the harvest team. He is repeatedly distracted by something which apparently only he can sense, and keeps looking out towards the unexplored hills beyond the harvest site. [[Samuel Anders]], also working on the harvest, comments that the algae harvest tastes as badly as it smells. Tyrol jokes that the algae is "breakfast, lunch and dinner until we can find a hot-fudge planet."<br />
*After sensing something strange one time too many, Tyrol leaves the harvest camp and begins a trek to a mountainous area. He discovers a door--not a naturally-carved one, but a rectangular door, apparently constructed by human hands.<br />
*Tyrol enters the door and walks through a passageway into an immensely large domed room, carved from within the mountain. In the center of the room is a center spire that reaches high into the structure. The spire is surrounded by five pentagonal obelisks. The center spire has ancient tribal carvings at the bottom, as well as illuminated crystalline pillars atop it. Tyrol, the son of a [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Clergy|priest]] and an [[oracle]], has a fair idea of what he has discovered: The [[Temple of Five]].<br />
*[[Laura Roslin]] discusses what she knows with Tyrol over [[wireless]] about this special [[Temple|temple]] as it is told in the [[Sacred Scrolls]] in Admiral [[William Adama]]'s quarters. But before they can digest the information further, they are alerted to four [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]] that [[FTL|jump]] into orbit of the planet and move towards the Fleet.<br />
*Admiral Adama orders the civilian Fleet to escape to [[emergency jump coordinates]], but leaves ''[[Galactica]]'' behind; Adama does not want to repeat the situation on [[New Caprica]], where he retreated with the remains of the Fleet and abandoned the colonists there. Adama chooses to stay to protect his harvest team until they can escape. He and Roslin also agree that, if the Temple of Five has a marker to [[Earth]], they must not let the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] take it.<br />
*However, very uncharacteristically, the Cylons do not attack. In fact, they request communications with Adama. The voice that Adama hears is not a welcome one: It is [[Gaius Baltar]]'s.<br />
*The Cylons request a meeting on ''Galactica'' to discuss the [[Eye of Jupiter]]. The [[Number Three]] copy that Baltar calls [[D'Anna Biers|D'Anna]], a copy of [[Cavil]], Baltar, and the [[Number Eight]] copy once known as [[Sharon Valerii]] board the battlestar under heavy [[marine]] guard.<br />
*The virtual [[Number Six]] in Baltar's mind warns him that, while he may feel like he has returned home, he cannot stay: The Colonials would "toss (him) into an airlock and have a party."<br />
*On the way to the meeting, [[Sharon Agathon]] recognizes the Eight copy as the former "Boomer" Valerii. Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] denies her entry into the meeting. The two Eights are left outside the doorway, facing each other with mutual looks of contempt.<br />
*The two sides meet. Baltar attempts to take the initiative in an attempt to serve as a mediator, but this infuriates Roslin that she leaves the meeting. Adama receives the Cylon's terms: Leave peacefully so that they can gather the [[Eye of Jupiter]], and they will not attack. Cavil adds the surrender of Baltar to the terms as well, to the former president's and Three's shock.<br />
*Boomer-Eight tells Sharon Agathon that Hera is alive, but unwell, on their basestar. Agathon refuses to believe her.<br />
*Admiral Adama is not amused. He warns that ''Galactica'' will destroy the planet's treasures with his nuclear arsenal should the Cylons attempt to land on the planet. The two sides depart in a state of détente.<br />
*Admiral Adama manages to get an order to his son of the situation and to destroy the site if the Cylons invade before the Cylons jam all wireless communications.<br />
*Major Adama instructs Samuel Anders to organize fireteams to defend against a probable Cylon incursion. Anders, also realizing what Adama has been doing with Thrace, is very angry and initially refuses to oblige until Thrace asks him to comply.<br />
*[[Cally Tyrol|Cally]] and Galen Tyrol speak in the temple. He tells her of how he was annoyed at his parents and their worship. [[Cally Tyrol]] sees reverence on his face, despite his general mood of disbelief.<br />
*Lieutenant [[Felix Gaeta]] has conducted some scans of the star system of the algae planet. He warns that the sun of this system is in danger of becoming a supernova very soon. Gaeta, who normally is as secular as his commander, finds it very strange how the Cylons and Colonials arrive at this one place at this time just before the planet's imminent destruction. Adama notes that the "higher powers" at work appear to have a strange sense of humor.<br />
*The [[basestar command]], with [[Caprica-Six]] and Baltar in attendance, discuss their plan to get the Eye. Cavil feels that annilihation of ''Galactica'' is the best option with the standoff (given that they are machines that can wait out humanity for years and find Earth eventually).<br />
*D'Anna, without consulting the other Cylons, has solely initiated the jamming of Colonial communications, and has already sent a [[Heavy Raider]] with a squad of [[Cylon Centurion|Centurions]] to the planet as the basestar fleet jumped in, successfully avoiding Colonial detection. This action infuriates the others, particularly Caprica-Six.<br />
*D'Anna notes that, as soon as the Centurions recover the Eye, the other Cylons can destroy ''Galactica.''<br />
*The Colonials, with Anders at the lead, plan out their defense on the planet. One team will manage ammunition distribution, another team will create [[tylium]] mines.<br />
*As the harvest team-turned-point defense teams leave the tent, Major Adama compliments Anders for his honest, to-the-point direction to the group, indicating that Anders would make a good officer. Anders scoffs at Adama's compliment, inferring that he knows what Adama and Thrace have been doing. When Adama tries to object, Anders tells Adama not to insult his intelligence, as he is aware that Adama is not that only one that Thrace has enjoyed sexual company with.<br />
*On the basestar, in the [[Hybrid]]'s room, D'Anna-Three is savoring the opportunity to see the faces of the final five [[Cylon agent]]s--"maybe the face of [[God]] himself." The Hybrid notes, in her quizzical manner, that the "five lights of the apocalypse" and the "sins" will be revealed only to the "chosen one," lifting her head and staring directly at Baltar as she repeats, "the chosen one." D'Anna's eyes are closed and is not aware that the Hybrid is addressing Baltar.<br />
*Caprica-Six enters and questions D'Anna's intentions. D'Anna dismisses their three-way relationship as she tells of her plan to leave with Baltar to discover the secrets of the Temple. Six is visibly hurt at being left behind.<br />
*The planet team begin their final preparations, led by Dualla. With [[wireless]] jammed, she notes how hardwired observation points are to be created to warn of any Cylon advance, with Starbuck's Raptor taking point with directions to fly to the nearest observation point to relay any sightings. Thrace's annoyance at Dualla's precise direction leads to some catty replies by Thrace, that Dualla ignores.<br />
*As the observation teams take their positions, Starbuck begins her recon flight. As she turns along a ravine, she spots the Centurion emplacement and is immediately fired upon by the Cylon's missile battery. Starbuck tries to evade and successfully manages to relay that she found Centurions before her Raptor is struck by a missile. With the controls on fire and visibility lost, Starbuck screams as she keeps her hands on the flight controls and fights for control of the Raptor. Starbuck being shot down is the first shot fired and the first material loss of the [[Battle of the Algae Planet]].<br />
*As President Roslin explores what little is known about the Temple of Five from a book of the Sacred Scrolls, Admiral Adama interrupts her. He tells her of Boomer's return and asks if the story of Hera's faked death was true. Roslin admits the truth. When she tries to explain the reasons why, Adama abruptly leaves in anger.<br />
*Adama tells the Agathons of Hera's discovery, and neither are pleased. When Helo argues how painful it was for them and how Adama should know the pain of the moment, Adama reminds him that, unlike [[Zak Adama|his son]], their child is still alive, and that they should be grateful for that. Sharon Agathon wants to see her child.<br />
*Adama reports to Anders that Starbuck's Raptor has gone down, but also tells him that a rescue mission is out of the question; they haven't enough manpower to rescue Thrace and defend their position.<br />
*Six Heavy Raiders leave a basestar towards the planet.<br />
*''Galactica'' sees the Heavy Raiders on [[DRADIS]] immediately. Tigh feels that this is a test to see if the Colonials are bluffing. Roslin believes that they were bluffing until Adama orders [[Hoshi]] to arm of a series of missile tubes, each containing a nuclear missile.<br />
*As Anders argues for Thrace's rescue, Adama explodes in defense of the mission, arguing the point that he has known and cared for Thrace for much longer than Anders, who tells Adama he is going after his wife. Adama's troops hold Anders at gunpoint.<br />
*Tyrol reads the inscriptions in the Temple with his flashlight, trying to locate the actual resting place of the Eye.<br />
*The basestar command detects the [[Radiological alarm|radiation signature]] of the missiles as ''Galactica'' targets the Temple.<br />
*Adama authorizes the release of the missiles.<br />

== Overview ==<br />
:''[[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]] makes a stop at a planet and discovers the location of a [[The Temple of Five|religious artifact]] that may further lead the way to [[Earth]]—for both the Colonials and the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]].''<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
* The [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] is mending its wounds from its passage to the [[algae planet]]. The harvest proceeds well and is into its 14th day, and appears to be closing up shop.<br />
*[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] flies from ''[[Galactica]]'' to the harvest camp in a [[Raptor]], intentionally creating more noise than usual. [[Lee Adama]] is managing the harvest operations with his wife, [[Anastasia Dualla]].<br />
*When Major Adama leaves to greet Kara Thrace, Dualla's face barely hides her disappointment and frustration at Adama's hasty departure.<br />
*Major Adama greets Thrace with an admonishment of her piloting, but his comments are very brief; the two pilots embrace and passionately kiss.<br />
*Adama wants he and Thrace to stop hiding their feelings and divorce their respective spouses. Thrace reminds him that marriage in the eyes of the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Lords of Kobol|gods]] is a sacrament; she has made a vow she will not break. Adama reminds her that their repeated secret encounters would be frowned on by the gods as well. Adama becomes frustrated, Thrace holds her position, and the two are left trapped in their feelings.<br />
*On a [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]], the little human/Cylon hybrid, [[Hera]], is crying and is not well. [[Gaius Baltar]] is awakened by her cries and visits the child, who is attended by the [[Number Eight]] known once as [[Sharon Valerii]].<br />
*[[Galen Tyrol]] is part of the harvest team. He is repeatedly distracted by something which apparently only he can sense, and keeps looking out towards the unexplored hills beyond the harvest site. [[Samuel Anders]], also working on the harvest, comments that the algae harvest tastes as badly as it smells. Tyrol jokes that the algae is "breakfast, lunch and dinner until we can find a hot-fudge planet."<br />
*After sensing something strange one time too many, Tyrol leaves the harvest camp and begins a trek to a mountainous area. He discovers a door--not a naturally-carved one, but a rectangular door, apparently constructed by human hands.<br />
*Tyrol enters the door and walks through a passageway into an immensely large domed room, carved from within the mountain. In the center of the room is a center spire that reaches high into the structure. The spire is surrounded by five pentagonal obelisks. The center spire has ancient tribal carvings at the bottom, as well as illuminated crystalline pillars atop it. Tyrol, the son of a [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Clergy|priest]] and an [[oracle]], has a fair idea of what he has discovered: The [[Temple of Five]].<br />
*[[Laura Roslin]] discusses what she knows with Tyrol over [[wireless]] about this special [[Temple|temple]] as it is told in the [[Sacred Scrolls]] in Admiral [[William Adama]]'s quarters. But before they can digest the information further, they are alerted to four [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]] that [[FTL|jump]] into orbit of the planet and move towards the Fleet.<br />
*Admiral Adama orders the civilian Fleet to escape to [[emergency jump coordinates]], but leaves ''[[Galactica]]'' behind; Adama does not want to repeat the situation on [[New Caprica]], where he retreated with the remains of the Fleet and abandoned the colonists there. Adama chooses to stay to protect his harvest team until they can escape. He and Roslin also agree that, if the Temple of Five has a marker to [[Earth]], they must not let the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] take it.<br />
*However, very uncharacteristically, the Cylons do not attack. In fact, they request communications with Adama. The voice that Adama hears is not a welcome one: It is [[Gaius Baltar]]'s.<br />
*The Cylons request a meeting on ''Galactica'' to discuss the [[Eye of Jupiter]]. The [[Number Three]] copy that Baltar calls [[D'Anna Biers|D'Anna]], a copy of [[Cavil]], Baltar, and the [[Number Eight]] copy once known as [[Sharon Valerii]] board the battlestar under heavy [[marine]] guard.<br />
*The virtual [[Number Six]] in Baltar's mind warns him that, while he may feel like he has returned home, he cannot stay: The Colonials would "toss (him) into an airlock and have a party."<br />
*On the way to the meeting, [[Sharon Agathon]] recognizes the Eight copy as the former "Boomer" Valerii. Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] denies her entry into the meeting. The two Eights are left outside the doorway, facing each other with mutual looks of contempt.<br />
*The two sides meet. Baltar attempts to take the initiative in an attempt to serve as a mediator, but this infuriates Roslin that she leaves the meeting. Adama receives the Cylon's terms: Leave peacefully so that they can gather the [[Eye of Jupiter]], and they will not attack. Cavil adds the surrender of Baltar to the terms as well, to the former president's and Three's shock.<br />
*Boomer-Eight tells Sharon Agathon that Hera is alive, but unwell, on their basestar. Agathon refuses to believe her.<br />
*Admiral Adama is not amused. He warns that ''Galactica'' will destroy the planet's treasures with his nuclear arsenal should the Cylons attempt to land on the planet. The two sides depart in a state of détente.<br />
*Admiral Adama manages to get an order to his son of the situation and to destroy the site if the Cylons invade before the Cylons jam all wireless communications.<br />
*Major Adama instructs Samuel Anders to organize fireteams to defend against a probable Cylon incursion. Anders, also realizing what Adama has been doing with Thrace, is very angry and initially refuses to oblige until Thrace asks him to comply.<br />
*[[Cally Tyrol|Cally]] and Galen Tyrol speak in the temple. He tells her of how he was annoyed at his parents and their worship. [[Cally Tyrol]] sees reverence on his face, despite his general mood of disbelief.<br />
*Lieutenant [[Felix Gaeta]] has conducted some scans of the star system of the algae planet. He warns that the sun of this system is in danger of becoming a supernova very soon. Gaeta, who normally is as secular as his commander, finds it very strange how the Cylons and Colonials arrive at this one place at this time just before the planet's imminent destruction. Adama notes that the "higher powers" at work appear to have a strange sense of humor.<br />
*The [[basestar command]], with [[Caprica-Six]] and Baltar in attendance, discuss their plan to get the Eye. Cavil feels that annilihation of ''Galactica'' is the best option with the standoff (given that they are machines that can wait out humanity for years and find Earth eventually).<br />
*D'Anna, without consulting the other Cylons, has solely initiated the jamming of Colonial communications, and has already sent a [[Heavy Raider]] with a squad of [[Cylon Centurion|Centurions]] to the planet as the basestar fleet jumped in, successfully avoiding Colonial detection. This action infuriates the others, particularly Caprica-Six.<br />
*D'Anna notes that, as soon as the Centurions recover the Eye, the other Cylons can destroy ''Galactica.''<br />
*The Colonials, with Anders at the lead, plan out their defense on the planet. One team will manage ammunition distribution, another team will create [[tylium]] mines.<br />
*As the harvest team-turned-point defense teams leave the tent, Major Adama compliments Anders for his honest, to-the-point direction to the group, indicating that Anders would make a good officer. Anders scoffs at Adama's compliment, inferring that he knows what Adama and Thrace have been doing. When Adama tries to object, Anders tells Adama not to insult his intelligence, as he is aware that Adama is not that only one that Thrace has enjoyed sexual company with.<br />
*On the basestar, in the [[Hybrid]]'s room, D'Anna-Three is savoring the opportunity to see the faces of the final five [[Cylon agent]]s--"maybe the face of [[God]] himself." The Hybrid notes, in her quizzical manner, that the "five lights of the apocalypse" and the "sins" will be revealed only to the "chosen one," lifting her head and staring directly at Baltar as she repeats, "the chosen one." D'Anna's eyes are closed and is not aware that the Hybrid is addressing Baltar.<br />
*Caprica-Six enters and questions D'Anna's intentions. D'Anna dismisses their three-way relationship as she tells of her plan to leave with Baltar to discover the secrets of the Temple. Six is visibly hurt at being left behind.<br />
*The planet team begin their final preparations, led by Dualla. With [[wireless]] jammed, she notes how hardwired observation points are to be created to warn of any Cylon advance, with Starbuck's Raptor taking point with directions to fly to the nearest observation point to relay any sightings. Thrace's annoyance at Dualla's precise direction leads to some catty replies by Thrace, that Dualla ignores.<br />
*As the observation teams take their positions, Starbuck begins her recon flight. As she turns along a ravine, she spots the Centurion emplacement and is immediately fired upon by the Cylon's missile battery. Starbuck tries to evade and successfully manages to relay that she found Centurions before her Raptor is struck by a missile. With the controls on fire and visibility lost, Starbuck screams as she keeps her hands on the flight controls and fights for control of the Raptor. Starbuck being shot down is the first shot fired and the first material loss of the [[Battle of the Algae Planet]].<br />
*As President Roslin explores what little is known about the Temple of Five from a book of the Sacred Scrolls, Admiral Adama interrupts her. He tells her of Boomer's return and asks if the story of Hera's faked death was true. Roslin admits the truth. When she tries to explain the reasons why, Adama abruptly leaves in anger.<br />
*Adama tells the Agathons of Hera's discovery, and neither are pleased. When Helo argues how painful it was for them and how Adama should know the pain of the moment, Adama reminds him that, unlike [[Zak Adama|his son]], their child is still alive, and that they should be grateful for that. Sharon Agathon wants to see her child.<br />
*Adama reports to Anders that Starbuck's Raptor has gone down, but also tells him that a rescue mission is out of the question; they haven't enough manpower to rescue Thrace and defend their position.<br />
*Six Heavy Raiders leave a basestar towards the planet.<br />
*''Galactica'' sees the Heavy Raiders on [[DRADIS]] immediately. Tigh feels that this is a test to see if the Colonials are bluffing. Roslin believes that they were bluffing until Adama orders [[Hoshi]] to arm of a series of missile tubes, each containing a nuclear missile.<br />
*As Anders argues for Thrace's rescue, Adama explodes in defense of the mission, arguing the point that he has known and cared for Thrace for much longer than Anders, who tells Adama he is going after his wife. Adama's troops hold Anders at gunpoint.<br />
*Tyrol reads the inscriptions in the Temple with his flashlight, trying to locate the actual resting place of the Eye.<br />
*The basestar command detects the [[Radiological alarm|radiation signature]] of the missiles as ''Galactica'' targets the Temple.<br />
*Adama authorizes the release of the missiles.<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
*Will Adama go through with his plan to nuke the planet?<br />
*Did Starbuck survive the crash of her Raptor?<br />
*What is the [[Eye of Jupiter]] and how does it point the way to [[Earth]]?<br />
*How much truth is there to Ander's claim of Kara's chronic infidelity ("You think you're the first?")?<br />
*How will Athena and Helo knowing their child is still alive affect their relationship with Adama?<br />
*How will Adama finding out Hera is still alive affect his relationship with Roslin?<br />
*Is there a connection between the Temple of the Five and the five missing Cylon models?<br />
*Who or what is "The One Whose Name Cannot Be [Told(?)]" whom the Five supposedly follow? Is this a reference to [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Jealous God|the Jealous God]], who may or may not be the "one true God" of the Cylons?<br />
*What are the "sins" of the Five that the Hybrid speaks of?<br />
*Who is the "Chosen One" that the Hybrid speaks of?<br />
*What consequences will Number Three's actions have within the Cylon society?<br />
*What is the Fleet doing without the presence of ''Galactica''?<br />
*Will there be further confrontations between the two "Sharon Valerii"-type [[Number Eight|Eight]] models, as seen in the passageway tirade between [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] and [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]]?<br />
*Were the Cylons really willing to hand Baltar over to the Fleet?<br />
*When did [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] go over to the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons']] way of thinking? In this episode she clearly doesn't seem to think of herself as human anymore like she did in "[[Downloaded]]".<br />
*Is there a connection between Athena & Helo's Hera and the Eye of Jupiter?<br />
*Does Dualla also know about the affair between Lee and Kara?<br />
*Will Hera be rescued from the Cylon baseship and returned to Athena?<br />
*Did Adama inform Athena and Helo that it was the President who ordered the secret adoption of Hera? From the dialog, it seems to indicate that Helo believes Adama was aware of the secret from the start.<br />
*Was the Cylon that was pointed out to be Boomer the same one that has been seen amongst the Cylon baseship leadership? If so, then her turning over to the Cylon side was complete by the time the Cylons had abandoned New Caprica.<br />
*What, if anything, will happen when the shaft of light reaches the center of the symbol in the temple? Is this in some way related to the imminent supernova?<br />
*If Adama does fire the nuclear weapons, will the Baseships destroy them before they reach the surface?<br />
<br />
== Analysis ==<br />
*At least eighteen people perished as a result of navigating through the radiation field of the star cluster.<br />
*This episode ends the debate whether [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] knew about [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]]'s secret plan to hide [[Hera]] ("[[Downloaded]]", "[[Exodus, Part I]]") -- he did not know.<br />
*[[Caprica-Six]] and [[D'Anna Biers|D'Anna]]'s dialogue indicates that they have been intimate with each other as well as with [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]].<br />
*This is the first time the Cylons use "human" names on the basestar when not speaking to Baltar. D'Anna is named by Caprica-Six and another Number Three. Cavil's name is used by D'Anna.<br />
*Coincidence (and destiny / predestination) seems to be a major theme with this episode: the humans & Cylons show up at the planet at the same time; the temple is discovered by Tyrol, son of a priest who revered this place; the planet is orbiting a star that will go nova within days.<br />
*At an unknown point in time, ''Galactica'' acquired at least three more nuclear warheads bringing the known total to six; having a previous five and then using one to destroy a basestar ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]) and another being detonated by [[Gina]] on ''[[Cloud 9]]'' ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). ''[[Pegasus]]'' may be the source, as these warheads may have been resupplied from ''Pegasus'''s arsenal, which likely occurred during the events of "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]".<br />
*When the Hybrid speaks of the Chosen One, she looks directly at Baltar, not D'Anna, who has her eyes closed.<br />
*Kara Thrace's explanation of marriage as a sacrament is similar to the [[w:Annulment (Catholic Church)|principles of the Roman Catholic Church]]. In this religion, a marriage between a baptized man and woman is one of the seven sacraments of the faith. A sacramental marriage cannot be dissolved, but only reviewed later to determine if the marriage was valid at all. If the marriage is invalid, an annulment is allowed. This suggests, by extension, that Thrace and Anders have had [[dedication ceremony|dedication ceremonies]] (the Colonial equivalent of baptism) if such as requirement is needed by the gods.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
*Writer [[Jane Espenson]] revealed that this episode was originally titled "Eye of [[Zeus]]."<ref name="espenson-2">{{cite_web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/12/11/jane-espenson-on-post-the-passage-questions/|title=TV Squad: Jane Espenson on post-The Passage questions|date=11 November 2006|accessdate=11 November 2006|last=McDuffee|first=Keith|format=|language=English}}</ref><br />
*This episode, whose teaser clocks in at just over 11 minutes, has the longest teaser of any episode thus far, narrowly beating out that of "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]".<br />
*Outdoor sequences of the algae planet were filmed near Kamloops, British Columbia [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/video/index.php?cat=videoBlog&vid=46979].<br />
<br />
== Noteworthy Dialogue ==<br />
<br />
*''Cylon baseship requests to speak with Admiral Adama''<br />
::'''Adama''': Put it through speaker. This is Admiral Adama.<br />
::'''Baltar''': Admiral. I can't tell you what a genuine pleasure it is to hear your voice. This is Gaius Baltar.<br />
<br />
*''Baltar and Internal-Six discuss boarding the Galactica'':<br />
::'''Six''': Feels like old times, doesn't it?<br />
::'''Baltar''': Can't believe how much I actually missed this place.<br />
::'''Six''': You know you can't return. They'd toss you out the nearest airlock and then throw a party.<br />
<br />
*''Lee and Kara, discussing contingency plans:''<br />
::'''Kara''': Can I make a suggestion you won't like?<br />
::'''Lee''': Do you make any other kind?<br />
<br />
*''The Hybrid, giving more obscure prophecy:''<br />
::'''Hybrid''': The five lights of the apocalypse rising, struggling towards the light... sins revealed only to those who enter the temple... only to the chosen one... the chosen one... the chosen one...<br />
::'''Three''': The Five await me. Gaius, I'm so close to knowing the truth!<br />
<br />
*''During a meeting between Roslin and Adama with Baltar and the Cylons''<br />
::'''Roslin''': The less this man says, the better this will go.<br />
::'''Baltar''': Wait a minute. If it wasn't for me the Cylons would've blown you out of the sky two seconds after we'd arrived.<br />
::'''Roslin''': (''Roslin to Adama'') I think you can handle this without me. . . if you can stomach it.<br />

::{{vd}} Agree. Down with template clutter. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 02:05, 9 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::{{vd}} While episode data also contains a chronology redundant with the episode list template, that's a far more core/critical article series. I don't know how most people navigate the battles, but there are currently few enough (even across three seasons) that it doesn't seem like an undue burden to scroll through them chronologically, or just to click on the Colonial Battles (RDM) category if you want to view them all at once. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 09:24, 9 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::{{keep}} I personally think it works quite well, give great ease of navigation and doesnt clutter the page. I'm not too bothered either way but I thought id just put my view across. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 11:17, 9 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::{{vd}}. I prefer the K.I.S.S. principle here; the original template works fine and leaves one less thing to edit. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:24, 9 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
:::{{keep}} The battles of the Cylon War are significant and numerous enough to warrant a template like this. The template people to access the different articles on each. -- [[User:Troyian|Troyian]] 17:52, 10 October 2006 (CDT)<br />
::::Maybe if placed on articles that arn't the battle pages, but otherwise it's always going to be directly below the very large {{tl|Battle Data}} template. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 02:19, 22 October 2006 (CDT)<br />

:{{keep}} The templates at "Category:Navigational Infobox" are wonderful, letting you move with one click from an episode, character, ship, or battle page to any other page in the same category.

<br />
A discovery of a [[Eye of Jupiter|mysterious religious artifact]] leads to a temporary (as of yet) standoff between [[Galactica (RDM)|''Galactica'']] and [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] forces.<br />
<br />
Shortly after the [[Temple of Five]] is discovered during day 14 of the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]]'s food-collection operations on the [[Algae planet]], four Cylon [[basestar (RDM)|basestar]]s jump into orbit. Admiral [[William Adama]] orders all civilian ships to [[jump]] to emergency jump coordinates as the Cylons discreetly deploy one [[Heavy Raider]] to the planet's surface.<br />
<br />
After a [[wireless]] transmission from the basestars to ''Galactica'', [[Gaius Baltar]], a [[Number Three]], a [[Cavil]], and [[Boomer]] of the basestars' command group come to ''Galactica'' in order to negotiate for control of the [[Eye of Jupiter]], reported to be in the temple. The Cylons claim that if they gain possesion, they will leave the Fleet alone and turn over Baltar. Admiral Adama delivers an ultimatum: make any move and he'll destroy the temple with a nuclear strike. For the moment, no agreement is reached, and the Cylons and Baltar leave ''Galactica''. <br />
<br />
The Cylons soon jam all Colonial wireless frequencies. On the surface, [[Lee Adama|Major Adama]] develops a plan to defend the temple and their base camp, placing [[Samuel Anders]] in command of all civilians present, and using [[Kara Thrace|Captain Thrace]]'s Raptor, the only one on the surface, for reconnaissance.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Centurions from the first Heavy Raider have established a surface-to-air missile battery and shoot down Thrace during her recon.<br />
<br />
Six Heavy Raiders are deployed from the basestars toward the planet as part of the Cylons' plan to both defend Baltar and D'anna who are heading to the temple and to test Adama's supposed bluff of nuking the place. <br />
<br />
Admiral Adama prepares ''Galactica'''s missile launchers to fire six nuclear missiles at the surface, obliterating the temple, as he had promised during the failed negotiations; the Cylons debate whether Adama is bluffing ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*''Galactica'' departs [[Ragnar Anchorage]] with five nuclear warheads. One warhead is cannibalized to create [[Gaius Baltar]]'s [[Cylon detector]] ([[Bastille Day]]) and ultimately detonated by [[Gina]] on ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). A second warhead is used to destroy a Cylon [[basestar (RDM)|basestar]] above [[Kobol]] in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]", leaving ''Galactica'' with three. ''Galactica'' probably obtained additional warheads from ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' at some point prior to her destruction in "[[Exodus, Part II]]".<br />

From a ''Rolling Stone'' September 2006 Magazine interview of [[Katee Sackhoff]]<br />
<br />
:"Four years ago, I had older men and twelve-year-olds coming up to me," she says. "Now I get sorority girls telling me, 'We watch the show and drink every time you say "frak," hit someone or sleep with someone.' And I'm thinking, 'This is why I didn't go to college.'"<br />

From a ''Rolling Stone'' September 2006 Magazine interview of [[Katee Sackhoff]]<br />
<br />
:"Four years ago, I had older men and twelve-year-olds coming up to me," she says. "Now I get sorority girls telling me, 'We watch the show and drink every time you say "frak," hit someone or sleep with someone.' And I'm thinking, 'This is why I didn't go to college.'"<br />

<hr />
<div>An unnamed '''algae-bearing planet''' is the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet's]] destination after its main food stores are contaminated and its population left in a starvation state.<br />
<br />
The planet has a debris ring, likely created from the disintegration of a small planetoid such as a moon or asteroid. The planet also appears to have seas or oceans based on its blue-green appearance.<br />
<br />
Little else is known about the planet except for the very large amount of edible, protein-rich algae that exists on the planet, as scouted by [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]].<br />
<br />
After the Fleet manages to bring almost all of its ships through an almost-unnavigable and deadly star cluster cloud, harvest of the algae and processing likely begins to resupply the Fleet ([[The Passage]]).<br />
<br />
The planet was actually settled on at one point by the [[Thirteenth Tribe]]. They built the [[The Temple of Five|Temple of Five]] on the planet and hid the artifact known as the "[[Eye of Jupiter]]" there. The eye is said to point the way to the Thirteenth Tribe's destination, [[Earth]].<br />
<br />
Shortly after [[Galen Tyrol|Chief Tyrol]] discovers the Temple of Five, the Cylons appear over the planet seeking the Eye. A standoff ensues as [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] threatens to bombard the planet with ''Galactica''’s remaining nuclear warheads if the Cylons try to go down and [[Number Three]] and [[Cavil]] threaten to destroy any craft that attempts to return to ''Galactica'' from the surface. <br />
<br />
It is later discovered that the planet is orbiting a star that is on the verge of going supernova. Estimations from [[Felix Gaeta|Lt. Gaeta]] suggest the star is less than week away from exploding, possibly less than a day ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*[[w:Algae|Algae]] are simple aquatic organisms. Many are actually processed on the real-world Earth for use, among other things, as nutritional additives or foods.<br />
*This planet, located near a star cluster, is the same one that [[Gaius Baltar]] and [[Number Three]] discern as the source of an artifact in determining the identities of the last five [[Cylon agent]]s, or a clue to Earth.<ref name="podcast">{{cite rdm podcast| episode = The Passage| act = 1 | id =algaeplanet| timestamp = 00:09:11 | totalrunning = 00:45:25 }}</ref><br />

<br />
''Logline: The possible discovery of the Eye of Jupiter on the algae planet leads to a deadly stand-off, as the Cylons and humans risk all for a chance to find the way to Earth.<br />
<br />
While working on the [[algae planet]], Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) discovers the Temple of Five, reputed to be the home of the [[Eye of Jupiter]], which will guide the ones who discover it to Earth. His report is intercepted by the Cylons, who request a meeting with Adama (Edward James Olmos) and Laura (Mary McDonnell). Their proposal: let us have the Eye and we will let you leave unharmed. Adama's counter-proposal: make any move to take the Eye and we'll nuke the planet.<br />
<br />
The Cylons bring another piece of news: Sharon (Grace Park) and Helo's (Tahmoh Penikett) baby is alive, but not well. Sharon is initially skeptical, but when Adama confirms that Laura hid the baby at her school, she and Helo begin to make plans to rescue her.<br />
<br />
As the standoff continues, tensions rise in both camps. On the Cylon baseship, D'Anna's (Lucy Lawless) sense that she and Baltar (James Callis) share a destiny that might not include the others sows dissension, while on the algae planet, efforts to protect the Eye are complicated by Lee's simmering affair with Kara (Katee Sackhoff), especially since Lee (Jamie Bamber) is counting on Anders (Michael Trucco), Kara's husband, to rally the civilians to the cause.

<br />
== Summary ==<br />
*A group of [[Cylon Centurion]]s use a surface-to-air missile to shoot down [[Kara Thrace|Thrace]]'s [[Raptor]], the first material loss of the [[Battle of the Algae Planet]].<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
*Will Adama go through with his plan to nuke the planet?<br />
*Did Starbuck survive the crash of her Raptor?<br />
*What is the [[Eye of Jupiter]]?<br />
*How much truth is there to Ander's claim of Kara's chronic infidelity ("You think you're the first?")?<br />
*How will Athena and Helo knowing their child is still alive affect their relationship with Adama?<br />
*How will Adama finding out Hera is still alive affect his relationship with Roslin?<br />
*Is there a connection between the Temple of the Five and the five missing Cylon models?<br />
*Who or what is "The One Whose Name Cannot Be [Told(?)]" whom the Five supposedly follow? Is this a reference to [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Jealous God|the Jealous God]]?<br />
*What are the "sins" of the Five that the Hybrid speaks of? <br />
*What consequences will Number Three's actions have within the Cylon society?<br />
*What is the Fleet doing without the presence of ''Galactica''?<br />
*Will there be further confrontations between the two "Sharon Valerii"-type [[Number Eight|Eight]] models, as seen in the passageway tirade between [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] and [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]]?<br />
*Were the Cylons really willing to hand Baltar over to the Fleet?<br />
*When did [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] go over to the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons']] way of thinking? In this episode she clearly doesn't seem to think of herself as human anymore like she did in "[[Downloaded]]".<br />
<br />
== Analysis ==<br />
*At least eighteen people perished as a result of navigating through the radiation field of the star cluster.<br />
*This episode ends the debate whether [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] knew about [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]]'s secret plan to hide [[Hera]] ([[Downloaded]], [[Exodus, Part I]]) -- he did not know.<br />
*[[Caprica-Six]] and [[D'Anna Biers|D'Anna]]'s dialogue indicates that they have been intimate with each other as well as with [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]].<br />
*Coincidence (and destiny / predestination) seems to be a major theme with this episode: the humans & Cylons show up at the planet at the same time; the temple is discovered by Tyrol, son of a priest who revered this place; the planet is orbiting a star that will go nova within days; etc.<br />
*This is the first time the Cylons use "human" names on the basestar when not speaking to Baltar. D'Anna is named by Caprica-Six and another Number Three. Cavil's name is used by D'Anna.<br />

''[[Jane Espenson]] discusses the original name for "The Eye of Jupiter" and references to it in "[[The Passage]]:"''<br />
<br />
: "When I wrote this episode, the upcoming episode was already well along, and it was called "Eye of [[Zeus]]." So all the dialogue in my episode reflected that. It got changed to Jupiter later, and I don't know why. It's always hard to get names to legally clear. All you need is one guy named Zeus who lives in [[w:North Hollywood|North Hollywood]] and [[w:Standards and Practices|Standards and Practices]] is all over you to change the name.

Having recently taken several infected Cylon agent prisoners from an [[Torn|epidemic]] basestar, [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Colonial Fleet]] attempt to rid themselves of the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] threat through the use of a virulent biological weapon.<br />
<br />
[[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] provides the Presidential authorization required for the use of biological weapons. ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', leaving all civilian ships at a safe location, jumps to a space location known as NCD2539, which is part of a Cylon supply route. [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]]'s intent is to lure Cylon forces, including coverage by a [[Resurrection Ship]], into the area so that when the Colonials execute their infected Cylon agent prisoners, [[Resurrection (RDM)|download]] of their consciousnesses would infect the Cylon populace with a [[Lymphocytic encephalitis|human virus with a bioelectric pathogen]] that could eventually annihilate the Cylon race. <br />
<br />
Shortly after ''Galactica'' arrives, two scouting [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raiders]] jump into the vicinity, then jump away after observing ''Galactica''. Five basestars and a Resurrection Ship appear within minutes. As part of their feint, ''Galactica'' launches multiple Vipers and Raptors, with the latter firing an open salvo of missiles into the Cylon Raider swarm.<br />
<br />
No one in [[CIC]] knows that ''Galactica'''s prisoner compartment is vented as an act of mission sabotage, asphyxiating the prisoners before the Resurrection Ship is in range. With the Cylons now nearby, Admiral Adama orders the execution of the Cylon prisoners. Attempting this, the prisoners are found to already be dead.<br />
<br />
With the objective no longer possible, Admiral Adama aborts the mission, ordering his pilots to land and returning his battlestar to the Fleet.<br />
([[A Measure of Salvation]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
[[Image:3x7-BattleOfNCD2539RaptorsFiring.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Raptors firing missiles.]]<br />
*In this engagement, [[Raptors]] are shown loaded to the teeth with weapons systems. In the past ([[Miniseries]], [[The Hand of God]]), Raptors have rarely been depicted in actual combat, preferring instead to hang back while coordinating battlefield logistics. They have been shown armed in a few prior episodes ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]], [[Fragged]]), and this is their most prominent combat role to date. The Raptors are using the external missile pods and cannons introduced in "[[Exodus, Part I|Exodus, Part I]] & [[Exodus, Part II|II]]" and engage in the same maneuver used to launch the decoy drones during the Battle of New Caprica.<br />

<div>== Name of Battle ==<br />
<br />
1. So I just threw this page up so that we'd have the beginning of a summary to make things easier to write out when we see the conclusion in January, but I know that the title of the article, and battle, may be a bit controversial. Is it a "battle?" We don't really know yet. It is a "Standoff," "Crisis," etc.? It'll be easy enough to change the title later on if consensus shows that it isn't a "battle." There have been shots fired and losses taken; Starbuck was downed hit by SAM fire.<br />
<br />
2. Also annoying, no one has gone and officially named the site of the battle as the "Algae Planet." Most either use "Algae planet" or "algae planet." The [[Algae planet]] page has been started, so this shouldn't be much of a big deal, because the word "planet" in a battle title would be capitalized regardless of whether it is capitalized in the name of the planet or not. - [[User:Keithustus|Keithustus]] 19:13, 16 December 2006 (CST)</div>Keithustushttps://en.battlestarwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_the_Algea_Planet&diff=96576Battle of the Algea Planet2006-12-17T01:18:36Z<p>Keithustus: mispelled, need to mark for deletion</p>

<br />
A standoff over a mysterious religious artifact leads to a [[w:Cuban Missile Crisis|Cuban Missile Crisis]]-like scenario.<br />
<br />
Shortly after [[The Temple of Five]] is discovered during the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]]'s food-collection operations on the [[Algae planet]], four Cylon basestars jump into orbit. The Cylons discreetly deploy one [[Heavy Raider]] to the planet's surface. [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] orders all civilian ships to jump to emergency jump coordinates. Members of the basestars' command group come board ''Galactica'' in order to negotiate for control of the [[Eye of Jupiter]], reported to be in the Temple, but no agreement is reached. <br />
<br />
The Cylons soon jam all Colonial wireless frequencies. On the surface, [[Lee Adama|Major Adama]] develops a plan to defend the Temple and their base camp, placing [[Samuel Anders]] in command of all civilians present, and using [[Kara Thrace|Captain Thrace]]'s Rapter, the only one on the surface, for reconnaissance.<br />
<br />
Centurions from the first Heavy Raider have established a surface-to-air missile battery, and shoot down Thrace during her recon.<br />
<br />
When six Heavy Raiders deploy from the basestars toward the planet, Admiral Adama prepares ''Galactica'' to fire nuclear missiles at the surface and obliterating the Temple, as he had promised during the failed negotiations ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).<br />

<br />
== Summary ==<br />
*A group of [[Cylon Centurion]]s use a surface-to-air missile to shoot down [[Kara Thrace|Thrace]]'s [[Raptor]], the first material loss of the [[Battle of the Algea Planet]].<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
*Will Adama go through with his plan to nuke the planet?<br />
*Did Starbuck survive the crash of her Raptor?<br />
*What is the [[Eye of Jupiter]]?<br />
*How much truth is there to Ander's claim of Kara's chronic infidelity ("You think you're the first?")?<br />
*How will Athena and Helo knowing their child is still alive affect their relationship with Adama?<br />
*How will Adama finding out Hera is still alive affect his relationship with Roslin?<br />
*Is there a connection between the Temple of the Five and the five missing Cylon models?<br />
*Who or what is "The One Whose Name Cannot Be [Told(?)]" whom the Five supposedly follow? Is this a reference to [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Jealous God|the Jealous God]]?<br />
*What are the "sins" of the Five that the Hybrid speaks of? <br />
*What consequences will Number Three's actions have within the Cylon society?<br />
*What is the Fleet doing without the presence of ''Galactica''?<br />
*Will there be further confrontations between the two "Sharon Valerii"-type [[Number Eight|Eight]] models, as seen in the passageway tirade between [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] and [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]]?<br />
*Were the Cylons really willing to hand Baltar over to the Fleet?<br />
*When did [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] go over to the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons']] way of thinking? In this episode she clearly doesn't seem to think of herself as human anymore like she did in "[[Downloaded]]".<br />
<br />
== Analysis ==<br />
*At least eighteen people perished as a result of navigating through the radiation field of the star cluster.<br />
*This episode ends the debate whether [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] knew about [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]]'s secret plan to hide [[Hera]] ([[Downloaded]], [[Exodus, Part I]]) -- he did not know.<br />
*[[Caprica-Six]] and [[D'Anna Biers|D'Anna]]'s dialogue indicates that they have been intimate with each other as well as with [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]].<br />
*Coincidence (and destiny / predestination) seems to be a major theme with this episode: the humans & Cylons show up at the planet at the same time; the temple is discovered by Tyrol, son of a priest who revered this place; the planet is orbiting a star that will go nova within days; etc.<br />

:''The crew of Galactica makes a stop at the barren Algae planet. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tv.com/battlestar-galactica-2003/the-eye-of-jupiter-1/episode/822638/summary.html |title=The Eye of Jupiter }}</ref>''<br />
<br />
: [[The Temple of Five]] is discovered, leading to a standoff between the Cylons and the Colonials over the '''Eye of Jupiter'''. Also: the Cylons bring news about Sharon's baby. - ''TV Guide''<br />
<br />
''Logline: The possible discovery of the Eye of Jupiter on the algae planet leads to a deadly stand-off, as the Cylons and humans risk all for a chance to find the way to Earth.<br />
<br />
While working on the [[algae planet]], Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) discovers the Temple of Five, reputed to be the home of the [[Eye of Jupiter]], which will guide the ones who discover it to Earth. His report is intercepted by the Cylons, who request a meeting with Adama (Edward James Olmos) and Laura (Mary McDonnell). Their proposal: let us have the Eye and we will let you leave unharmed. Adama's counter-proposal: make any move to take the Eye and we'll nuke the planet.<br />
<br />
The Cylons bring another piece of news: Sharon (Grace Park) and Helo's (Tahmoh Penikett) baby is alive, but not well. Sharon is initially skeptical, but when Adama confirms that Laura hid the baby at her school, she and Helo begin to make plans to rescue her.<br />
<br />
As the standoff continues, tensions rise in both camps. On the Cylon baseship, D'Anna's (Lucy Lawless) sense that she and Baltar (James Callis) share a destiny that might not include the others sows dissension, while on the algae planet, efforts to protect the Eye are complicated by Lee's simmering affair with Kara (Katee Sackhoff), especially since Lee (Jamie Bamber) is counting on Anders (Michael Trucco), Kara's husband, to rally the civilians to the cause. Then the Cylons launch a flight of raiders, bound for the algae planet, forcing Adama to show he's not bluffing. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://screenings.tvguide.com/programs/detail/4|title=TV Guide Exclusive }}</ref>''<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
*The shooting-down of [[Kara Thrace|Thrace]]'s [[Raptor]] was the first material loss of the beginning of the [[Battle of the Algea Planet]].<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
*Will Adama go through with his plan to nuke the planet?<br />
*Did Starbuck survive the crash of her Raptor?<br />
*What is the [[Eye of Jupiter]]?<br />
*How much truth is there to Ander's claim of Kara's chronic infidelity ("You think you're the first?")?<br />
*How will Athena and Helo knowing their child is still alive affect their relationship with Adama?<br />
*How will Adama finding out Hera is still alive affect his relationship with Roslin?<br />
*Is there a connection between the Temple of the Five and the five missing Cylon models?<br />
*Who or what is "The One Whose Name Cannot Be [Told(?)]" whom the Five supposedly follow? Is this a reference to [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Jealous God|the Jealous God]]?<br />
*What are the "sins" of the Five that the Hybrid speaks of? <br />
*What consequences will Number Three's actions have within the Cylon society?<br />
*What is the Fleet doing without the presence of ''Galactica''?<br />
*Will there be further confrontations between the two "Sharon Valerii"-type [[Number Eight|Eight]] models, as seen in the passageway tirade between [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] and [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]]?<br />
*Were the Cylons really willing to hand Baltar over to the Fleet?<br />
*When did [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] go over to the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons']] way of thinking? In this episode she clearly doesn't seem to think of herself as human anymore like she did in "[[Downloaded]]".<br />
<br />
== Analysis ==<br />
*At least eighteen people perished as a result of navigating through the radiation field of the star cluster.<br />
*This episode ends the debate whether [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] knew about [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]]'s secret plan to hide [[Hera]] ([[Downloaded]], [[Exodus, Part I]]) -- he did not know.<br />
*[[Caprica-Six]] and [[D'Anna Biers|D'Anna]]'s dialogue indicates that they have been intimate with each other as well as with [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]].<br />
*Coincidence (and destiny / predestination) seems to be a major theme with this episode: the humans & Cylons show up at the planet at the same time; the temple is discovered by Tyrol, son of a priest who revered this place; the planet is orbiting a star that will go nova within days; etc.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
*Writer [[Jane Espenson]] revealed that this episode was originally titled "Eye of [[Zeus]]."<ref name="espenson-2">{{cite_web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/12/11/jane-espenson-on-post-the-passage-questions/|title=TV Squad: Jane Espenson on post-The Passage questions|date=11 November 2006|accessdate=11 November 2006|last=McDuffee|first=Keith|format=|language=English}}</ref><br />
*This episode, whose teaser clocks in at just over 11 minutes, has the longest teaser of any episode thus far, narrowly beating out that of "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]".<br />
*Outdoor sequences of the algae planet were filmed near Kamloops, British Columbia [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/video/index.php?cat=videoBlog&vid=46979].<br />
<br />
== Noteworthy Dialogue ==<br />
*''Baltar and Internal-Six discuss boarding the Galactica'':<br />
::'''Six''': Feels like old times, doesn't it?<br />
::'''Baltar''': Can't believe how much I actually missed this place.<br />
::'''Six''': You know you can't return. They'd toss you out the nearest airlock and then throw a party.<br />
<br />
*''Lee and Kara, discussing contingency plans:''<br />
::'''Kara''': Can I make a suggestion you won't like?<br />
::'''Lee''': Do you make any other kind?<br />
<br />
<br />
*''The Hybrid, giving more obscure prophecy:''<br />
::'''Hybrid''': The five lights of the apocalypse rising, struggling towards the light... sins revealed only to those who enter the temple... only to the chosen one... the chosen one... the chosen one...<br />
::'''Three''': The Five await me. Gaius, I'm so close to knowing the truth!<br />
<br />
== Official Statements ==<br />
<br />
''[[Jane Espenson]] discusses the original name for "The Eye of Jupiter" and references to it in "[[The Passage]]:"''<br />
<br />
: "When I wrote this episode, the upcoming episode was already well along, and it was called "Eye of [[Zeus]]." So all the dialogue in my episode reflected that. It got changed to Jupiter later, and I don't know why. It's always hard to get names to legally clear. All you need is one guy named Zeus who lives in [[w:North Hollywood|North Hollywood]] and [[w:Standards and Practices|Standards and Practices]] is all over you to change the name. (deadpan) That's probably what happened."<ref name="espenson-2"/><br />

Having recently taken several infected Cylon agent prisoners from an [[Torn|epidemic]] basestar, [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Colonial Fleet]] attempt to rid themselves of the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] threat through the use of a virulent biological weapon.<br />
<br />
[[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] provides the Presidential authorization required for the use of biological weapons. ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', leaving all civilian ships at a safe location, jumps to a space location known as NCD2539, which is part of a Cylon supply route. [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]]'s intent is to lure Cylon forces, including coverage by a [[Resurrection Ship]], into the area so that when the Colonials execute their infected Cylon agent prisoners, [[Resurrection (RDM)|download]] of their consciousnesses would infect the Cylon populace with a [[Lymphocytic encephalitis|human virus with a bioelectric pathogen]] that could eventually annihilate the Cylon race. <br />
<br />
Shortly after ''Galactica'' arrives, two scouting [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raiders]] jump into the vicinity, then jump away after observing ''Galactica''. Five basestars and a Resurrection Ship appear within minutes. As part of their feint, ''Galactica'' launches multiple Vipers and Raptors, with the latter firing an open salvo of missiles into the Cylon Raider swarm.<br />
<br />
No one in [[CIC]] knows that ''Galactica'''s prisoner compartment is vented as an act of mission sabotage, asphyxiating the prisoners before the Resurrection Ship is in range. With the Cylons now nearby, Admiral Adama orders the execution of the Cylon prisoners. Attempting this, the prisoners are found to already be dead.<br />
<br />
With the objective no longer possible, Admiral Adama aborts the mission, ordering his pilots to land and returning his battlestar to the Fleet.<br />
([[A Measure of Salvation]]).<br />

*In this engagement, [[Raptors]] are shown loaded to the teeth with weapons systems. In the past ([[Miniseries]], [[The Hand of God]]), Raptors have rarely been depicted in actual combat, preferring instead to hang back while coordinating battlefield logistics. They have been shown armed in a few prior episodes ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]], [[Fragged]]), and this is their most prominent combat role to date. The Raptors are using the external missile pods and cannons introduced in "[[Exodus, Part I|Exodus, Part I]] & [[Exodus, Part II|II]]" and engage in the same maneuver used to launch the decoy drones during the Battle of New Caprica.<br />

A standoff over a mysterious religious artifact leads to a [[w:Cuban Missile Crisis|Cuban Missile Crisis]]-like scenario.<br />
<br />
Shortly after [[The Temple of Five]] is discovered during the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]]'s food-collection operations on the [[Algae planet]], four Cylon basestars jump into orbit. The Cylons discreetly deploy one [[Heavy Raider]] to the planet's surface. [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] orders all civilian ships to jump to emergency jump coordinates. Members of the basestars' command group come board ''Galactica'' in order to negotiate for control of the [[Eye of Jupiter]], reported to be in the Temple, but no agreement is reached. <br />
<br />
The Cylons soon jam all Colonial wireless frequencies. On the surface, [[Lee Adama|Major Adama]] develops a plan to defend the Temple and their base camp, placing [[Samuel Anders]] in command of all civilians present, and using [[Kara Thrace|Captain Thrace]]'s Rapter, the only one on the surface, for reconnaissance.<br />
<br />
Centurions from the first Heavy Raider have established a surface-to-air missile battery, and shoot down Thrace during her recon.<br />
<br />
When six Heavy Raiders deploy from the basestars toward the planet, Admiral Adama prepares ''Galactica'' to fire nuclear missiles at the surface and obliterating the Temple, as he had promised during the failed negotiations ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).<br />

== Overview ==<br />
:''Starvation threatens the population after the food-processing systems become contaminated, but the Fleet is cut off from a food source by the intense radiation put out by a huge star cluster. ''Galactica'''s pilots must guide the civilian vessels on a dangerous journey directly through the radiation.''<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
=== On ''[[Galactica]]'' ===<br />
*[[Sharon Agathon|Athena]] flies a [[Raptor]] through a blinding, immensely bright gas cloud. The Raptor's outer skin is charring from the intense heat. Athena is managing to fight off the intense radiation buildup surrounding her, thanks to her [[Cylon agent|Cylon physiology]], but a radiation monitor badge she wears is changing color from white, spotting to an ominous black.<br />
*Elsewhere in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]], President [[Laura Roslin]] summarizes the contamination of the basic foodstuff material storage used to feed everyone, from soldier to civilian. The situation is dire; 7 to 10 days of rations remain. The Fleet is starving.<br />
*A group of pilots, including [[Lee Adama]], [[Kara Thrace]], [[Hot Dog]] and [[Louanne Katraine]], are combining what little food they have and sharing it, down to the last crumb.<br />
*Admiral [[William Adama]] and his command staff await Athena's return from her reconnaisance mission to what they believe is a [[Algae planet|planet with algae]]. The algae, according to Dr. [[Cottle]], isn't extremely palatable but is protein-rich and will allow them to restock their food stores and survive. Athena is three hours late from return.<br />
*Athena does make it back to ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. While her radiation badge is black, her Cylon physiology protects her (although she is obviously uncomfortable). She reports success; the planet is teeming with algae.<br />
*But the travel through the star cluster is extremely dangerous. Two [[FTL|jumps]] are required to reach the planet on the other side of the cluster, which cannot be circumnavigated. The navigation computers of any civilian ships inside the cluster would be inoperative due to insufficient shielding and the intense radiation leaves a ship only minutes to gather their bearings for the second jump out before they absorb a fatal dose of radiation. Any ship would also have to endure the intense heat as well.<br />
*''Galactica'' alone cannot be used to ferry the people, and the civilian ships alone would not make the trip as they would get lost within the cluster cloud. There is too much algae for ''Galactica'' to bring the food to the people in time.<br />
*The Adamas consider the use of the Raptors, whose navigation systems are radiation-hardened to protect against nuclear strikes, as pilot ships that will guide a group of civilian ships at a time by visual reckoning, relaying the proper jump coordinates once visual sighting is made to get the ships to the other side. Five jumps are needed, and skeleton crews are used on each civilian ship to limit the Fleet's possible losses, with the civilians temporarily transferred to ''Galactica'', which will survive the radiation effects thanks to the [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar's]] dense hull plating ([[Miniseries]]).<br />
*A group of civilians are bunked on ''Galactica'' from the civilian ships. One of them recognizes Kat, but calls out for her by another name: "Sasha." Kat reacts angrily to the man, [[Enzo]], and barely acknowledges his call before warning him to back off.<br />
*The pilots are briefed on the plan, and each given radiation badges. When Major Adama encourages the use of [[stims]], Kat objects, warning that stims work by boosting the body's metabolism. In their starvation state, the stims would make them ill. Adama leaves the use of the drug to the pilot's discretion.<br />
*Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] returns to the [[CIC]] and is greeted by a round of applause from the crew. He promptly reminds them that they have "jobs to do," resuming his post as [[XO]] of ''Galactica''. Admiral Adama keeps a quiet smile to himself as he notices Tigh's return, knowing his friend would not care to be particularly noticed.<br />
*The first outbound flight into the cluster begins. The ''[[Adriatic]]'' is lost when its Raptor guide, flown by [[Hot Dog]], cannot locate her.<br />
*Successive trips continue, but another ship, the ''[[Carina]]'', guided by Kat, is lost as well, which greatly angers and saddens her. She stays in the cloud a few minutes too long during her extended search, and her radiation badge becomes dark.<br />
*In the [[hangar deck]], Thrace notices Enzo interacting with Kat and gets suspicious. She later questions Enzo and later, Kat.<br />
*Kat begs Thrace not to tell Admiral Adama about her past life as a drug runner and the fact that she acquired her name, "Louanne Katraine," from a child that died two days before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]], using it to clear ''Galactica'''s pilot screening when she was a [[nugget]]. Thrace accepts her offer, warning her to embrace who she really is.<br />
*Feeling backed into a corner, Kat is physically stressed. Her hair is falling out, a sign of radiation poisoning. Fearful of what will happen to her if Admiral Adama finds out about her past, she chooses to continue her Raptor flights, swapping her radiation badge with [[Helo]]'s. She allows herself a sexual romp with Enzo before preparing for the last outbound flight.<br />
*The last outbound trip is more destructive. Even ''Galactica'' cannot withstand the heat and begins to suffer heat-related decompression failures throughout its hull. Adama orders his son to wrap out visual sighting and perform the escape jump.<br />
*Kat cannot find her last ship. Realizing she had already absorbed too much radiation, she elects to remain in the cloud to continue searching for her lost ship.<br />
*''Galactica'' waits for several frightening minutes until both Kat's Raptor and the last civilian ship rejoin them.<br />
*Kat is greeted by the command staff and many crewmembers to celebrate her accomplishment. The young pilot pumps her arms in the air and tries to remove her helmet before she collapses from radiation poisoning.<br />
*In [[sickbay]], Kara Thrace talks to Kat, whose exposure to the cloud's radiation was too extreme. Thrace recants a part of her conversation with Kat and her origins, and tries unsuccessfully to leave Kat's bedside with a smile before leaving the dying pilot with a bottle of sleeping pills as a gesture of self-euthanization. Kat thanks her.<br />
*Admiral Adama stands by Kat's bedside immediately after Thrace's departure. Kat attempts to confess her past, but Adama tells her that her past will not change the heroic thing she did for the Fleet. He gives her the status of [[CAG]] once more, a position she held from colonization of [[New Caprica]] to Major Adama's return to ''Galactica'', despite the fact that Kat will not survive to fly again.<br />
*Adama stays at Kat's bedside, talking with her and how he would have loved to have had a third child, commenting that he, like his ex-wife, [[Caroline Adama|Caroline]], would have liked a daughter.<br />
*Some time later, the pilots assemble in their [[Pilot ready rooms|ready room]] as Admiral Adama changes the pilot organization chart, placing Kat as the CAG.<br />
*Kara Thrace enters ''Galactica'''s memorial hallway and tacks a photo of Kat on the board. She cries quietly as Lee Adama looks on from a distance.<br />
<br />
=== On a [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] ===<br />
*Baltar notices that [[Number Three]] keeps going off somewhere and wonders what she is doing. [[Caprica-Six]] tells him that the other [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] are also concerned about Three's activities.<br />
*Baltar confronts Three about her unexplained absences and surmises that she has been dying and resurrecting over and over again.<br />
*Baltar and Three discuss the final five [[Cylon agent]]s, who are apparently the figures Three has been seeing between life and death. Baltar wonders aloud if he could be one of them, making him a hero to the Cylons instead of a traitor to the Colonials. Three tries to hold onto the memory of what they look like, but it always fades. Her drawings of them aren't very distinct. <br />
*Baltar and Three visit the [[Hybrid]]'s chamber. Against Three's advice, Baltar reaches out to touch the Hybrid and she grabs his hand. More coherent than usual, the Hybrid says a number of cryptic clues and returns to her usual behavior.<br />
*Baltar deduces from the clues that the Hybrid is referring to a planet where the Eye of Jupiter can be found, as well as something related to the final five. Baltar states that he is convinced that everything the Hybrid says has meaning.<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
*Was the Fleet-wide failure of food-processing systems a result of sabotage? If so, were Cylons responsible, or someone else?<br />
*Was assisted suicide an accepted practice in the Colonies, even if not by a practicing physician?<br />
*Are there going to be radiation consequences for the pilots exposed to the conditions of the star cluster, especially those pilots who did in fact have a black indicator?<br />
*How many pilots and crew were lost on the two civilian ships ''Adriatic'' and ''Carina''? Will their loss cause problems for the civilians that used to live on them?<br />
*Were there any other ships lost besides ''Adriatic'' and ''Carina''?<br />
*Other Cylons were seen to attend Three during her resurrection in "[[Hero]]". How has she been able to keep subsequent resurrections secret?<br />
**Are the 'nurse' Cylons at the Resurrection ship aware of Three's attempts to discover who the final five are? If so, are they remaining silent in hope that Three would accomplish this task?<br />
*During the brief martial law when Roslin was ousted as President, she and Apollo hid inside a meat refigeration locker. Was all the "real" food, such as meat, fresh fruits, and drinks all used up or left behind on New Caprica?<br />
*If there was no food contamination, how long would the Fleet's food supply have lasted?<br />
*Is there a centralized food distribution system in place for the Fleet?<br />
*Why are the final five Cylons kept so secretive? Why do they exist in the place between death and resurrection?<br />
*Who will supplant [[Kat]] as Squadron leader?<br />
<br />
== Analysis ==<br />
*Adama may have already abandoned his declaration from "[[Unfinished Business]]," as his treatment of Kat during her final hours suggests.<br />
*The ranking shuffle resumes in this episode: Tigh returns to the CIC as XO, sending Helo back to the flight lines as a senior flight officer (his rank of Captain seems unaffected). At the end of the episode, Kat is posthumously given honorary CAG status, although Apollo is still ''de facto'' CAG.<br />
*Baltar calls the Number Three "D'Anna", to which she responds. This may indicate acceptance of Baltar's custom of referring to and addressing some models by their "human" names—in this same scene, Baltar refers to "the relevant Simon" and in prior episodes refers to "one of the Dorals"' views on toilet paper. This custom is shared with the other humans, such as Ellen Tigh who mentions "one of the Brother Cavils," and Adama, who refers to both the [[Ragnar Anchorage]] copy and the stowaway copy in "[[Flesh and Bone]]" as "Leoben Conoy."<br />
*Gaeta was one of the few in CIC not to applaud Tigh's return to duty. This may be due to lingering feelings of resentment over his treatment by Tigh and the [[The Circle|Circle]].<br />
*Since this model has memories of viewing the footage acquired by the Galactica copy of D'anna Biers on Caprica (seen in flashback in "[[Hero]]"), we can rule out the possibility that both are the same individual.<br />
*Number Three does not know what the final five Cylon agent models look like, at least not consciously.<br />
*No anti-radiation injections were seen to be used by the pilots. Unless they were administered offscreen this could either mean that the Fleet's supplies are used up, or that even the medication doesn't help against such intense levels of stellar radiation. Oddly, pilots were not issue with anti-radiation suits (worn by the deck crew) or put on a rotation to limit their individual exposure.<br />
*While it has not been conclusively established that the five figures are in fact the "Final Five" Cylon agents, the first sketch of the alleged "Final Five" that Number Three shows Baltar depicts two male and three female figures. If this proves accurate then of the twelve Cylon models there are six males and six females.<br />
*Baltar's grooming has declined steadily since the Fall of the Colonies. While no longer a messy drunk as he was on [[New Caprica]], he has grown a scraggly and untrimmed beard.<br />
* One of D'Anna's sketches in particular appears to depict the profile of a mustached and bearded male with long hair—a possible reference to Baltar; later in the episode after Baltar communes with the hybrid, D'Anna says "Could there be a connection between their gods and ours?" where "their" refers to the polytheistic human pantheon and "ours," the Cylon single god, a possible slip on her part indicating that she believes Baltar to be a Cylon, or that D'Anna believes Baltar has accepted the Cylon religion, and so no longer counts him as following human beliefs.<br />
**She may be using "ours" to refer to all cylons, not just herself.<br />
*"Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light, in the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow," is what the Hybrid tells Baltar. Baltar analyses "the eye of the cow" to be Hera (since she was referred to as "cow-eyed Hera"). The husband of Hera is Jupiter, which yields: "Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light, in the Eye of Jupiter." The Eye of Jupiter is also written about in the ancient texts, which prompts Three to believe there may be a connection to the Colonial and Cylon gods. According to Baltar, the Eye of Jupiter is most likely some kind of artifact (like the [[Arrow of Apollo]]), located on a planet in the shadow of a bright star cluster. The "hand" is believed to be a reference to the number five, meaning the Eye of Jupiter will contain or point to information about the Final Five. Interestingly, the Fleet has gathered protein from a planet in a bright star cluster in this episode. This will probably mean that the Cylons will run into the Colonials when they find the right planet, much like in "[[A Measure of Salvation]]," but reversed as the Cylons found the [[Lion's Head Nebula]] before the Fleet did.<br />
*The possible connection between the Colonial pantheon and the Cylon god which Three comments on was previously indicated in "[[Exodus, Part I]]," by the statements of Oracle [[Dodona Selloi]], with whom Three conferred.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
*This is one of the few times an Air Group organization chart is visible. Kat, as the honorary [[CAG]], is in the top slot, while directly below her are the squadron leaders, which are [[Lee Adama|Apollo]], [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]], [[Two Times]], and a fourth whose name is never visible to the camera. Other names visible on the chart include [[Narcho]], [[Switch]], [[Chopper]], [[Raygun]], [[Helo]], [[Fuzzy]], [[Athena]], [[Racetrack]], and [[Sever]]. Pilots and [[ECO]]s may be listed below their squadron leaders in descending order of seniority, as both [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] and [[Brendan Constanza|Hot Dog]], for example, are listed directly beneath Starbuck, and the two of them are among the senior flight officers for ''Galactica''.<br />
*A [[Straits of Madagon|perilous journey]] by the [[The Fleet (TOS)|"rag-tag" Fleet]] in the [[Original Series]], where pilots are also critical to the Fleet's safety, appears in its series premiere, "[[Saga of a Star World]]." <br />
*"The Passage" was written by ''Galactica'' newcomer [[Jane Espenson]]. The episode arose when the show brought in Dr. [[Kevin Grazier]], a scientist from the [[w:Jet Propulsion Laboratory|Jet Propulsion Laboratory]], who talked about how one would navigate through space; how one would figure out how to get from one point in the to universe to, for example, Earth. Grazier's talk prompted the story at the heart of Espenson's episode.<br />
*On the memorial wall Kat's picture is placed below the one of [[Reilly]]'s girlfriend she herself put there in "[[Scar]]".<br />
*This episode marks the destruction of two civilian ships, the ''[[Adriatic]]'' and ''[[Carina]]''. This will likely result in more crowded conditions on the other ships in [[the Fleet]].<br />
*This is the second episode in which dialog has been censored in the [[w:Sci Fi Channel (United States)|Sci Fi Channel]] broadcast. Starbuck sarcastically proclaims she gave Dr. [[Cottle]] "[[w:fellatio|head]]" in response to Kat saying she gave him her protein bar.<br />
*Though the actual dialog between Baltar and D'Anna employs the name "Jupiter," the closed-captioning subtitles uses "Zeus" instead. This discrepancy and the question as to why the Roman name Jupiter would be used instead of its Greek counterpart may indicate that the original script employed the name Zeus before. However, there is precedence for using gods from the Roman pantheon; namely Mars and Mercury.<br />
*[[Brendan Constanza|Brendan "Hot Dog" Constanza]] is now the only survivor of the three nuggets originally introduced in "[[Act of Contrition]]."<br />
*[[Hoshi]] appears in the CIC, sharing Dualla's duties. Other ''Pegasus'' crew members to have made the transfer to ''Galactica'' include [[Marcia Case|Marcia "Showboat" Case]], seen on the flight roster at the end of the episode, and [[Noel Allison|Noel "Narcho" Allison]] seen in "[[Torn]]."<br />
*When Starbuck puts Kat's picture on the memorial wall, a note just above it reads "God rest your souls" - not "''Gods'' rest your souls," a rare departure from the established [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies|Colonial polytheism]].<br />
<br />
== Noteworthy Dialogue ==<br />
<br />
*''Adama and Tigh discuss the food shortage''<br />
::'''Adama:''' I hear they're still eating paper. Is that true?<br />
::'''Tigh:''' No. Paper shortage.<br />
<br />
*''Starbuck gives a last minute pep talk to the pilots''<br />
::'''Starbuck:''' Remember, we're all flying solo on this mission. So that means there'll be nobody there to bitch slap you if you start to get tired or start seeing little toasters on your wing.<br />
<br />
*''Baltar and Three confront the Hybrid'':<br />
::'''Hybrid''': [Suddenly grabs Baltar's hand] Intelligence! A mind that burns like a fire!<br />
::'''Baltar''': Yes, I'm here.<br />
::'''Hybrid''': Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light, in the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow.<br />
::'''Baltar''': [Removes his hand from the Hybrid's tank.]<br />
::'''Three''': You all right? It just speaks nonsense, doesn't it?<br />
::'''Baltar''': I don't think anything it says is nonsense.<br />

== Official Statements ==<br />
''In [[Ron Moore]]'s blog on [http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/ July 27th, 2006]:''<br />
<br />
:"We were pretty excited to have Jane too. I actually took Jane's first pitch way back in my early days at ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek|Star Trek]]'' and I had the pleasure of buying what turned out to be her first sale. I hadn't seen her since, but I'd followed her career from afar and was very proud to see her do so well. Turns out that Jane was a huge fan of ''Galactica'' and really wanted to do a script for us, so we jumped on the chance. I think we're all hoping that we could get her on staff at some point in the future, but we'll have to wait and see how everything shakes out for Season Four -- and whether she's even available, she's very much in demand these days. Her episode this year is "The Passage" (originally Ep 9) and deals with a harrowing voyage of the rag-tag fleet and focuses on Kat."<br />
<br />
''[[Jane Espenson]] discusses writing the episode''<br />
<br />
: "My episode originally had a [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] story threaded through it that had to be cut in later drafts because there was just too much story in the episode as a whole, and I missed it, just because she was so much fun to write. And any character with a strong opinion on what's going on in the episode is always fun and easy to write.<br />
<br />
: "The hardest stuff to write in this episode wasn't because of any hard-to-capture voices but because there was a big chunk of mission-planning exposition that had to be done as clearly and as quickly as possible. That is always the very hardest stuff to write, setting down the rules without sounding like a textbook. It was challenging, but so nice when I felt like I'd gotten it right."<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/12/06/jane-espenson-answers-your-battlestar-questions/|title=TV Squad: Jane Espenson answers your Battlestar questions|date=6 December 2006|accessdate=11 December 2006|last=McDuffee|first=Keith|format=|language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
''Epsenson talks about the scientific aspects of the episode:''<br />
<br />
: "When I was given this episode, all the technical stuff about globular star clusters was given to me. And the writers were really patient in explaining technical stuff about the FTL drive and jump co-ordinates and the fact that you can't talk on the wireless over a jump-boundary -- I originally had Galactica in contact with Sharon-Athena while she out in the cluster doing her original recon, but that obviously didn't make sense. I received lots of help from the show's tech adviser, who is wonderful, and who explained all sorts of interesting things to me about how radiation differs from radioactivity and how gravitational forces are more likely to damage large ships than small ones.... The research that I really did on my own was about figuring out how the fleet had been making food prior to this crisis. The explanation was cut for length, but in one draft it was stated that the fleet "grew" meat from cloned cells and that it was this system that got so badly contaminated. As for the algae, I think that was already in place when I was given the story... it's just an obvious alternative protein source."<ref name="espenson-2">{{cite_web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/12/11/jane-espenson-on-post-the-passage-questions/|title=TV Squad: Jane Espenson on post-The Passage questions|date=11 November 2006|accessdate=11 November 2006|last=McDuffee|first=Keith|format=|language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
''Espenson discusses the [[Hybrid]]'s dialogue:''<br />
<br />
: "I wrote this for the Hybrid in that pre-grab moment: 'Seascape portrait of the woman-child cavern of the soul under pressure-heat ratio--' which is, I think, what we hear. But there is at least one BSG writer who can generate pages of beautiful, haunting and resonant Hybrid-speak at will. He writes lots of her stuff and more power to him!"<ref name="espenson-2"/><br />
<br />
''Espenson discusses scenes that were cut from the script due to time constraints:''<br />
<br />
: "I think I got a more-than-fair edit! I was amazed! The draft that was shot was way too long -- we all knew it was too long. So lots of scenes had to be cut -- two Adama/Kat scenes that I can think of. A Lee/Dualla scene, a Lee/Starbuck scene, an Adama/Tigh scene, lots and lots of Sharon/Helo stuff... the fact that the episode holds together, that it makes sense and has emotional punch... wow. And that's not even counting lots of Cylon stuff, Laura stuff and [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] stuff that got cut before shooting! This show is so rich, the world is so full, and there are emotions along every axis between every pairing of characters, that it's incredibly easy to find things that you just HAVE to explore. This is part of what gives the series such a great voyeuristic quality... as a viewer you just KNOW that there are scenes that have played out between these people that you have never seen, and you get to infer what they must've been. I like that the edit of this episode hints at the things unseen. And I love that despite the time pressures, moments were allowed to play out... Kat watching her fellow pilots suffer, Kat in the mirror, the final hospital scene... I think it was a lovely edit."<ref name="espenson-2"/><br />
<br />
''Espenson discusses fan's expectation of humor from her stories and their pertinence to "The Passage":''<br />
<br />
: "I know people expect humor from me. I hope they understand why, given a story about Kat's redemptive and unglamorous death, I kept the funny knob turned down -- couldn't resist the giddy Tigh-Adama scene, however, and my personal favorite line the piece, Baltar's "You've got goo in your hair." Anyway, I hope the fans liked what they saw; I hope it felt real; I hope I get to write more Battlestar episodes, and get to play some more with these wonderful characters and their tragic, human, uplifting lives."<ref name="espenson-2"/><br />

== Overview ==<br />
:''Starvation threatens the population after the food-processing systems become contaminated, but the Fleet is cut off from a food source by the intense radiation put out by a huge star cluster. ''Galactica'''s pilots must guide the civilian vessels on a dangerous journey directly through the radiation.''<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
=== On ''[[Galactica]]'' ===<br />
*[[Sharon Agathon|Athena]] flies a [[Raptor]] through a blinding, immensely bright gas cloud. The Raptor's outer skin is charring from the intense heat. Athena is managing to fight off the intense radiation buildup surrounding her, thanks to her [[Cylon agent|Cylon physiology]], but a radiation monitor badge she wears is changing color from white, spotting to an ominous black.<br />
*Elsewhere in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]], President [[Laura Roslin]] summarizes the contamination of the basic foodstuff material storage used to feed everyone, from soldier to civilian. The situation is dire; 7 to 10 days of rations remain. The Fleet is starving.<br />
*A group of pilots, including [[Lee Adama]], [[Kara Thrace]], [[Hot Dog]] and [[Louanne Katraine]], are combining what little food they have and sharing it, down to the last crumb.<br />
*Admiral [[William Adama]] and his command staff await Athena's return from her reconnaisance mission to what they believe is a [[Algae planet|planet with algae]]. The algae, according to Dr. [[Cottle]], isn't extremely palatable but is protein-rich and will allow them to restock their food stores and survive. Athena is three hours late from return.<br />
*Athena does make it back to ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. While her radiation badge is black, her Cylon physiology protects her (although she is obviously uncomfortable). She reports success; the planet is teeming with algae.<br />
*But the travel through the star cluster is extremely dangerous. Two [[FTL|jumps]] are required to reach the planet on the other side of the cluster, which cannot be circumnavigated. The navigation computers of any civilian ships inside the cluster would be inoperative due to insufficient shielding and the intense radiation leaves a ship only minutes to gather their bearings for the second jump out before they absorb a fatal dose of radiation. Any ship would also have to endure the intense heat as well.<br />
*''Galactica'' alone cannot be used to ferry the people, and the civilian ships alone would not make the trip as they would get lost within the cluster cloud. There is too much algae for ''Galactica'' to bring the food to the people in time.<br />
*The Adamas consider the use of the Raptors, whose navigation systems are radiation-hardened to protect against nuclear strikes, as pilot ships that will guide a group of civilian ships at a time by visual reckoning, relaying the proper jump coordinates once visual sighting is made to get the ships to the other side. Five jumps are needed, and skeleton crews are used on each civilian ship to limit the Fleet's possible losses, with the civilians temporarily transferred to ''Galactica'', which will survive the radiation effects thanks to the [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar's]] dense hull plating ([[Miniseries]]).<br />
*A group of civilians are bunked on ''Galactica'' from the civilian ships. One of them recognizes Kat, but calls out for her by another name: "Sasha." Kat reacts angrily to the man, [[Enzo]], and barely acknowledges his call before warning him to back off.<br />
*The pilots are briefed on the plan, and each given radiation badges. When Major Adama encourages the use of [[stims]], Kat objects, warning that stims work by boosting the body's metabolism. In their starvation state, the stims would make them ill. Adama leaves the use of the drug to the pilot's discretion.<br />
*Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] returns to the [[CIC]] and is greeted by a round of applause from the crew. He promptly reminds them that they have "jobs to do," resuming his post as [[XO]] of ''Galactica''. Admiral Adama keeps a quiet smile to himself as he notices Tigh's return, knowing his friend would not care to be particularly noticed.<br />
*The first outbound flight into the cluster begins. The ''[[Adriatic]]'' is lost when its Raptor guide, flown by [[Hot Dog]], cannot locate her.<br />
*Successive trips continue, but another ship, the ''[[Carina]]'', guided by Kat, is lost as well, which greatly angers and saddens her. She stays in the cloud a few minutes too long during her extended search, and her radiation badge becomes dark.<br />
*In the [[hangar deck]], Thrace notices Enzo interacting with Kat and gets suspicious. She later questions Enzo and later, Kat.<br />
*Kat begs Thrace not to tell Admiral Adama about her past life as a drug runner and the fact that she acquired her name, "Louanne Katraine," from a child that died two days before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]], using it to clear ''Galactica'''s pilot screening when she was a [[nugget]]. Thrace accepts her offer, warning her to embrace who she really is.<br />
*Feeling backed into a corner, Kat is physically stressed. Her hair is falling out, a sign of radiation poisoning. Fearful of what will happen to her if Admiral Adama finds out about her past, she chooses to continue her Raptor flights, swapping her radiation badge with [[Helo]]'s. She allows herself a sexual romp with Enzo before preparing for the last outbound flight.<br />
*The last outbound trip is more destructive. Even ''Galactica'' cannot withstand the heat and begins to suffer heat-related decompression failures throughout its hull. Adama orders his son to wrap out visual sighting and perform the escape jump.<br />
*Kat cannot find her last ship. Realizing she had already absorbed too much radiation, she elects to remain in the cloud to continue searching for her lost ship.<br />
*''Galactica'' waits for several frightening minutes until both Kat's Raptor and the last civilian ship rejoin them.<br />
*Kat is greeted by the command staff and many crewmembers to celebrate her accomplishment. The young pilot pumps her arms in the air and tries to remove her helmet before she collapses from radiation poisoning.<br />
*In [[sickbay]], Kara Thrace talks to Kat, whose exposure to the cloud's radiation was too extreme. Thrace recants a part of her conversation with Kat and her origins, and tries unsuccessfully to leave Kat's bedside with a smile before leaving the dying pilot with a bottle of sleeping pills as a gesture of self-euthanization. Kat thanks her.<br />
*Admiral Adama stands by Kat's bedside immediately after Thrace's departure. Kat attempts to confess her past, but Adama tells her that her past will not change the heroic thing she did for the Fleet. He gives her the status of [[CAG]] once more, a position she held from colonization of [[New Caprica]] to Major Adama's return to ''Galactica'', despite the fact that Kat will not survive to fly again.<br />
*Adama stays at Kat's bedside, talking with her and how he would have loved to have had a third child, commenting that he, like his ex-wife, [[Caroline Adama|Caroline]], would have liked a daughter.<br />
*Some time later, the pilots assemble in their [[Pilot ready rooms|ready room]] as Admiral Adama changes the pilot organization chart, placing Kat as the CAG.<br />
*Kara Thrace enters ''Galactica'''s memorial hallway and tacks a photo of Kat on the board. She cries quietly as Lee Adama looks on from a distance.<br />
<br />
=== On a [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] ===<br />
*Baltar notices that [[Number Three]] keeps going off somewhere and wonders what she is doing. [[Caprica-Six]] tells him that the other [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] are also concerned about Three's activities.<br />
*Baltar confronts Three about her unexplained absences and surmises that she has been dying and resurrecting over and over again.<br />
*Baltar and Three discuss the final five [[Cylon agent]]s, who are apparently the figures Three has been seeing between life and death. Baltar wonders aloud if he could be one of them, making him a hero to the Cylons instead of a traitor to the Colonials. Three tries to hold onto the memory of what they look like, but it always fades. Her drawings of them aren't very distinct. <br />
*Baltar and Three visit the [[Hybrid]]'s chamber. Against Three's advice, Baltar reaches out to touch the Hybrid and she grabs his hand. More coherent than usual, the Hybrid says a number of cryptic clues and returns to her usual behavior.<br />
*Baltar deduces from the clues that the Hybrid is referring to a planet where the Eye of Jupiter can be found, as well as something related to the final five. Baltar states that he is convinced that everything the Hybrid says has meaning.<br />

*Other Cylons were seen to attend Three during her resurrection in "[[Hero]]". How has she been able to keep subsequent resurrections secret?<br />
**Are the 'nurse' Cylons at the Resurrection ship aware of Three's attempts to discover who the final five are? If so, are they remaining silent in hope that Three would accomplish this task?<br />
*During the brief martial law when Roslin was ousted as President, she and Apollo hid inside a meat refigeration locker. Was all the "real" food, such as meat, fresh fruits, and drinks all used up or left behind on New Caprica?<br />
*If there was no food contamination, how long would the Fleet's food supply have lasted?<br />
*Is there a centralized food distribution system in place for the Fleet?<br />
*Why are the final five Cylons kept so secretive? Why do they exist in the place between death and resurrection?<br />
*Who will supplant [[Kat]] as Squadron leader?<br />
<br />
== Analysis ==<br />
*Adama may have already abandoned his declaration from "[[Unfinished Business]]," as his treatment of Kat during her final hours suggests.<br />
*The ranking shuffle resumes in this episode: Tigh returns to the CIC as XO, sending Helo back to the flight lines as a senior flight officer (his rank of Captain seems unaffected). At the end of the episode, Kat is posthumously given honorary CAG status, although Apollo is still ''de facto'' CAG.<br />
*Baltar calls the Number Three "D'Anna", to which she responds. This may indicate acceptance of Baltar's custom of referring to and addressing some models by their "human" names—in this same scene, Baltar refers to "the relevant Simon" and in prior episodes refers to "one of the Dorals"' views on toilet paper. This custom is shared with the other humans, such as Ellen Tigh who mentions "one of the Brother Cavils," and Adama, who refers to both the [[Ragnar Anchorage]] copy and the stowaway copy in "[[Flesh and Bone]]" as "Leoben Conoy."<br />
*Gaeta was one of the few in CIC not to applaud Tigh's return to duty. This may be due to lingering feelings of resentment over his treatment by Tigh and the [[The Circle|Circle]].<br />
*Since this model has memories of viewing the footage acquired by the Galactica copy of D'anna Biers on Caprica (seen in flashback in "[[Hero]]"), we can rule out the possibility that both are the same individual.<br />
*Number Three does not know what the final five Cylon agent models look like, at least not consciously.<br />
*No anti-radiation injections were seen to be used by the pilots. Unless they were administered offscreen this could either mean that the Fleet's supplies are used up, or that even the medication doesn't help against such intense levels of stellar radiation. Oddly, pilots were not issue with anti-radiation suits (worn by the deck crew) or put on a rotation to limit their individual exposure.<br />
*While it has not been conclusively established that the five figures are in fact the "Final Five" Cylon agents, the first sketch of the alleged "Final Five" that Number Three shows Baltar depicts two male and three female figures. If this proves accurate then of the twelve Cylon models there are six males and six females.<br />
*Baltar's grooming has declined steadily since the Fall of the Colonies. While no longer a messy drunk as he was on [[New Caprica]], he has grown a scraggly and untrimmed beard.<br />
* One of D'Anna's sketches in particular appears to depict the profile of a mustached and bearded male with long hair—a possible reference to Baltar; later in the episode after Baltar communes with the hybrid, D'Anna says "Could there be a connection between their gods and ours?" where "their" refers to the polytheistic human pantheon and "ours," the Cylon single god, a possible slip on her part indicating that she believes Baltar to be a Cylon, or that D'Anna believes Baltar has accepted the Cylon religion, and so no longer counts him as following human beliefs.<br />
**She may be using "ours" to refer to all cylons, not just herself.<br />
*"Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light, in the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow," is what the Hybrid tells Baltar. Baltar analyses "the eye of the cow" to be Hera (since she was referred to as "cow-eyed Hera"). The husband of Hera is Jupiter, which yields: "Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light, in the Eye of Jupiter." The Eye of Jupiter is also written about in the ancient texts, which prompts Three to believe there may be a connection to the Colonial and Cylon gods. According to Baltar, the Eye of Jupiter is most likely some kind of artifact (like the [[Arrow of Apollo]]), located on a planet in the shadow of a bright star cluster. The "hand" is believed to be a reference to the number five, meaning the Eye of Jupiter will contain or point to information about the Final Five. Interestingly, the Fleet has gathered protein from a planet in a bright star cluster in this episode. This will probably mean that the Cylons will run into the Colonials when they find the right planet, much like in "[[A Measure of Salvation]]," but reversed as the Cylons found the [[Lion's Head Nebula]] before the Fleet did.<br />
*The possible connection between the Colonial pantheon and the Cylon god which Three comments on was previously indicated in "[[Exodus, Part I]]," by the statements of Oracle [[Dodona Selloi]], with whom Three conferred.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
*This is one of the few times an Air Group organization chart is visible. Kat, as the honorary [[CAG]], is in the top slot, while directly below her are the squadron leaders, which are [[Lee Adama|Apollo]], [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]], [[Two Times]], and a fourth whose name is never visible to the camera. Other names visible on the chart include [[Narcho]], [[Switch]], [[Chopper]], [[Raygun]], [[Helo]], [[Fuzzy]], [[Athena]], [[Racetrack]], and [[Sever]]. Pilots and [[ECO]]s may be listed below their squadron leaders in descending order of seniority, as both [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] and [[Brendan Constanza|Hot Dog]], for example, are listed directly beneath Starbuck, and the two of them are among the senior flight officers for ''Galactica''.<br />
*A [[Straits of Madagon|perilous journey]] by the [[The Fleet (TOS)|"rag-tag" Fleet]] in the [[Original Series]], where pilots are also critical to the Fleet's safety, appears in its series premiere, "[[Saga of a Star World]]." <br />
*"The Passage" was written by ''Galactica'' newcomer [[Jane Espenson]]. The episode arose when the show brought in Dr. [[Kevin Grazier]], a scientist from the [[w:Jet Propulsion Laboratory|Jet Propulsion Laboratory]], who talked about how one would navigate through space; how one would figure out how to get from one point in the to universe to, for example, Earth. Grazier's talk prompted the story at the heart of Espenson's episode.<br />
*On the memorial wall Kat's picture is placed below the one of [[Reilly]]'s girlfriend she herself put there in "[[Scar]]".<br />
*This episode marks the destruction of two civilian ships, the ''[[Adriatic]]'' and ''[[Carina]]''. This will likely result in more crowded conditions on the other ships in [[the Fleet]].<br />
*This is the second episode in which dialog has been censored in the [[w:Sci Fi Channel (United States)|Sci Fi Channel]] broadcast. Starbuck sarcastically proclaims she gave Dr. [[Cottle]] "[[w:fellatio|head]]" in response to Kat saying she gave him her protein bar.<br />
*Though the actual dialog between Baltar and D'Anna employs the name "Jupiter", the closed-captioning subtitles uses "Zeus" instead. This discrepancy and the question as to why the Roman name Jupiter would be used instead of its Greek counterpart may indicate that the original script employed the name Zeus before. However there is precedence for using gods from the Roman pantheon; namely Mars and Mercury.<br />
*[[Brendan Constanza|Brendan "Hot Dog" Constanza]] is now the only survivor of the three nuggets originally introduced in "[[Act of Contrition]]".<br />
*[[Hoshi]] appears in the CIC, sharing Dualla's duties. Other ''Pegasus'' crew members to have made the transfer to ''Galactica'' include [[Marcia Case|Marcia "Showboat" Case]], seen on the flight roster at the end of the episode, and [[Noel Allison|Noel "Narcho" Allison]] seen in "[[Torn]]".<br />
*When Starbuck puts Kat's picture on the memorial wall, a note just above it reads "God rest your souls" - not "''Gods'' rest your souls," a rare departure from the established [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies|Colonial polytheism]].<br />
<br />
== Noteworthy Dialogue ==<br />
<br />
*''Adama and Tigh discuss the food shortage''<br />
::'''Adama:''' I hear they're still eating paper. Is that true?<br />
::'''Tigh:''' No. Paper shortage.<br />
<br />
*''Starbuck gives a last minute pep talk to the pilots''<br />
::'''Starbuck:''' Remember, we're all flying solo on this mission. So that means there'll be nobody there to bitch slap you if you start to get tired or start seeing little toasters on your wing.<br />
<br />
*''Baltar and Three confront the Hybrid'':<br />
::'''Hybrid''': [Suddenly grabs Baltar's hand] Intelligence! A mind that burns like a fire!<br />
::'''Baltar''': Yes, I'm here.<br />
::'''Hybrid''': Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light, in the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow.<br />
::'''Baltar''': [Removes his hand from the Hybrid's tank.]<br />
::'''Three''': You all right? It just speaks nonsense, doesn't it?<br />
::'''Baltar''': I don't think anything it says is nonsense.<br />
<br />
== Official Statements ==<br />
''In [[Ron Moore]]'s blog on [http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/ July 27th, 2006]:''<br />
<br />
:"We were pretty excited to have Jane too. I actually took Jane's first pitch way back in my early days at ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek|Star Trek]]'' and I had the pleasure of buying what turned out to be her first sale. I hadn't seen her since, but I'd followed her career from afar and was very proud to see her do so well. Turns out that Jane was a huge fan of ''Galactica'' and really wanted to do a script for us, so we jumped on the chance. I think we're all hoping that we could get her on staff at some point in the future, but we'll have to wait and see how everything shakes out for Season Four -- and whether she's even available, she's very much in demand these days. Her episode this year is "The Passage" (originally Ep 9) and deals with a harrowing voyage of the rag-tag fleet and focuses on Kat."<br />
<br />
''[[Jane Espenson]] discusses writing the episode''<br />
<br />
: "My episode originally had a [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] story threaded through it that had to be cut in later drafts because there was just too much story in the episode as a whole, and I missed it, just because she was so much fun to write. And any character with a strong opinion on what's going on in the episode is always fun and easy to write.<br />
<br />
: "The hardest stuff to write in this episode wasn't because of any hard-to-capture voices but because there was a big chunk of mission-planning exposition that had to be done as clearly and as quickly as possible. That is always the very hardest stuff to write, setting down the rules without sounding like a textbook. It was challenging, but so nice when I felt like I'd gotten it right."<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/12/06/jane-espenson-answers-your-battlestar-questions/|title=TV Squad: Jane Espenson answers your Battlestar questions|date=6 December 2006|accessdate=11 December 2006|last=McDuffee|first=Keith|format=|language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
''Epsenson talks about the scientific aspects of the episode:''<br />
<br />
: "When I was given this episode, all the technical stuff about globular star clusters was given to me. And the writers were really patient in explaining technical stuff about the FTL drive and jump co-ordinates and the fact that you can't talk on the wireless over a jump-boundary -- I originally had Galactica in contact with Sharon-Athena while she out in the cluster doing her original recon, but that obviously didn't make sense. I received lots of help from the show's tech adviser, who is wonderful, and who explained all sorts of interesting things to me about how radiation differs from radioactivity and how gravitational forces are more likely to damage large ships than small ones.... The research that I really did on my own was about figuring out how the fleet had been making food prior to this crisis. The explanation was cut for length, but in one draft it was stated that the fleet "grew" meat from cloned cells and that it was this system that got so badly contaminated. As for the algae, I think that was already in place when I was given the story... it's just an obvious alternative protein source."<ref name="espenson-2">{{cite_web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/12/11/jane-espenson-on-post-the-passage-questions/|title=TV Squad: Jane Espenson on post-The Passage questions|date=11 November 2006|accessdate=11 November 2006|last=McDuffee|first=Keith|format=|language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
''Espenson discusses the [[Hybrid]]'s dialogue:''<br />
<br />
: "I wrote this for the Hybrid in that pre-grab moment: 'Seascape portrait of the woman-child cavern of the soul under pressure-heat ratio--' which is, I think, what we hear. But there is at least one BSG writer who can generate pages of beautiful, haunting and resonant Hybrid-speak at will. He writes lots of her stuff and more power to him!"<ref name="espenson-2"/><br />
<br />
''Espenson discusses scenes that were cut from the script due to time constraints:''<br />
<br />
: "I think I got a more-than-fair edit! I was amazed! The draft that was shot was way too long -- we all knew it was too long. So lots of scenes had to be cut -- two Adama/Kat scenes that I can think of. A Lee/Dualla scene, a Lee/Starbuck scene, an Adama/Tigh scene, lots and lots of Sharon/Helo stuff... the fact that the episode holds together, that it makes sense and has emotional punch... wow. And that's not even counting lots of Cylon stuff, Laura stuff and [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] stuff that got cut before shooting! This show is so rich, the world is so full, and there are emotions along every axis between every pairing of characters, that it's incredibly easy to find things that you just HAVE to explore. This is part of what gives the series such a great voyeuristic quality... as a viewer you just KNOW that there are scenes that have played out between these people that you have never seen, and you get to infer what they must've been. I like that the edit of this episode hints at the things unseen. And I love that despite the time pressures, moments were allowed to play out... Kat watching her fellow pilots suffer, Kat in the mirror, the final hospital scene... I think it was a lovely edit."<ref name="espenson-2"/><br />
<br />
''Espenson discusses fan's expectation of humor from her stories and their pertinence to "The Passage":''<br />
<br />
: "I know people expect humor from me. I hope they understand why, given a story about Kat's redemptive and unglamorous death, I kept the funny knob turned down -- couldn't resist the giddy Tigh-Adama scene, however, and my personal favorite line the piece, Baltar's "You've got goo in your hair." Anyway, I hope the fans liked what they saw; I hope it felt real; I hope I get to write more Battlestar episodes, and get to play some more with these wonderful characters and their tragic, human, uplifting lives."<ref name="espenson-2"/><br />

== Overview ==<br />
: ''[[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] society is revealed when a [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Cylon's consciousness]] is downloaded into a new body following her death. The conquerors of occupied [[Caprica]] hail two "heroes of the Cylon," who both resist their new celebrity status.''<br />
<br />
== Summary == <br />
<br />
===On Caprica===<br />
*Episode begins with a flashback to "Nine months ago - Caprica" showing [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]]'s house being destroyed in the [[Miniseries]]. The copy of Number Six who had a relationship with Baltar dies... and then we follow from her point of view as her consciousness is downloaded and reborn into another body in a [[Cylon rebirthing tank]]. She fell so deeply in love with Gaius Baltar that ''she'' starts having hallucinations of ''Baltar'', because the emotional impact of falling in love affected her so much. We then cut to "Ten weeks later" on ''Galactica'' when [[Cally]] shoots [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Galactica-Sharon]]... and follow from her point of view as she is downloaded (no doubt aided by the [[Resurrection Ship]] at the time) and wakes up totally disoriented in a new body in another rebirthing vat. A copy of the same model of Cylon known to humans as [[D'anna Biers]] tells her she'll be fine, but upon seeing another Sharon-model, Galactica-Sharon starts screaming uncontrollably. <br />
*On Caprica in the present day, the Cylons are rebuilding [[Delphi]] for their own use, even making gardens. A D'anna-copy sits down to talk with the Number Six copy that seduced Baltar. She has never told anyone that she fell truly in love with Baltar, and to this day hallucinates him as a result, because she thinks the others would destroy her for being defective. The D'anna-copy asks if she will go and see another Cylon who was recently downloaded into a new body, and is still having trouble adapting: ''Galactica''-Sharon, who is also something of a celebrity and war hero for her acts of sabotage and attempted assassintation on Adama. She points out that she even still calls herself "Sharon". She warns that if she cannot be fixed, there is talk of "[[boxing]]" her: putting her consciousness in cold storage and never loading it into a new body again. <br />
*This copy of Number Six is considered a war-hero; she was personally responsible for gaining the information that allowed the near-total sabotage of the Colonial Fleet, and has actually become something of a celebrity to the Cylons. They even refer to her specifically as "'''Caprica-Six'''".<br />
*In a short conversation while walking to ''Galactica''-Sharon's old apartment (which she moved back into), the D'anna-copy quickly lists off the Numbers of several Cylon models: "[[D'anna Biers]]" is '''[[Number Three]]''', "[[Aaron Doral]]" is '''[[Number Five]]''', and "[[Sharon Valerii]]" is '''[[Number Eight]]'''. <br />
*Caprica-Six goes to ''Galactica''-Sharon's apartment, where she proclaims that she doesn't believe in the Cylon God or his "love" and that the only real love she had was with the ''Galactica'' crew. She expresses intense guilt at betraying them. Caprica-Six starts to manipulate her by trying to empathize with her, saying that she loved a man too &mdash; Gaius Baltar. Startled, ''Galactica''-Sharon says that Baltar is not dead, but is the new Vice President of the Colonies, on board ''Galactica''.<br />
*Moving their conversation to a cafe on the ground floor of Sharon's apartment, Caprica-Six and Sharon wonder why Number Three never told Caprica-Six that Baltar was alive. Caprica-Six (through conversation with her hallucinated Baltar) realizes that Number Three manipulated her. Sending her to Sharon, and letting her find out that the man she loved was alive, might make her go crazy. Number Three could then use this as an excuse to have them ''both'' boxed. <br />
*Meanwhile, [[Samuel Anders]] and two other members of the human [[Caprica Resistance]] are planning to plant a bomb in the garage underneath the cafe, and blow it up. They know the Cylons will all just download into other bodies, but Anders points out that from Caprica-Sharon, they know that Cylons remember dying, and it must be horrifically painful &mdash; they're going to show them that nowhere is safe, and they should leave Caprica if they want to stop painfully dying and being reborn over and over again.<br />
*Number Three shows up at the cafe, and asks how things are doing. Having realized her plan, Caprica-Six lies and says emphatically that Galactica-Sharon will move out of her apartment and start adapting back to Cylon life. Galactica-Sharon takes the hint and goes along with the lie. Disappointed, Number Three offers to help her move out right now, and they leave the cafe and start going up the stairs to Sharon's apartment.<br />
*The resistance members set up the bomb and all but Anders leave, but just before he can get out a Cylon Centurion starts snooping around, and he can't get back to the exit. It sees the bomb and Anders shoots it then ducks behind a car as the bomb goes off.<br />
*All three Cylons survived the blast, because the stairwell protected them on the higher floor. Caprica-Six is buried under some rubble, and Number Three insists that she is dead and they should leave her (subtly trying to kill her so Three can have her boxed). However, Caprica-Six then moves and asks for help and they uncover her. Her knee is dislocated, and Three again suggests that it would be easier, if Six wants, to just kill her so she'll be reborn. Realizing Three is trying to have her boxed, she insists on not doing that.<br />
*They see someone else moving around under some rubble, and Number Three clears it off only to find that it is Anders. She takes his gun away and prepares to kill him, but Galactica-Sharon protests. Caprica-Six agrees, but to avoid suspicion from Number Three, claims pragmatically that they shouldn't kill him to he can be interrogated. Sharon sees that he has Starbuck's dogtags, and Number Three explains that she was on the planet a few weeks ago. Sharon realizes he's someone important to her.<br />
*Number Three cruelly toys with Anders, putting his gun on the ground and daring him to take it. Sharon tells her to stop, and Number Three retorts that Sharon is a broken machine that thinks she's human, but she's not. Sharon says that at least she has a conscience, and Number Three says she's a murderer. Caprica-Six realizes that's exactly what the Cylons have been doing: murder and the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|genocide of the human race]] cannot be the [[Cylon Religion|path of their loving God]]. <br />
*Caprica-Six realizes why Number Three wanted her and ''Galactica''-Sharon boxed: they are celebrities in a culture based on unity. Three realized that based on their love of two human beings, they have different perspective on the War, and due to their celebrity status as Cylon heroes they could actually cause a change in the way many other Cylons think about their conflict with the humans, upsetting the ''status quo'' which Number Three upholds. <br />
*Number Three says they've been corrupted by their experiences, and are a waste. Caprica-Six explains to Sharon that that is why Three wanted to get rid of them: because both of them now know the murder, vengeance, and genocide are sins in the eyes of God, and Sharon realizes that letting them tell the other Cylons this would make them all consider that the slaughter of mankind was a mistake.<br />
*The rubble of the building shifts as Cylons outside are trying to clear their way to the survivors inside, and Anders makes a run for it and grabs his gun, shooting at Number Three before Galactica-Sharon knocks the gun out of his hands... which then lands near Number Three, who takes the gun. She stands up and just as Number Three is about to execute Anders, Caprica-Six hits her over the head with a large rock of stone from the rubble, then bashes it into her head again, killing her. <br />
*Caprica-Six tells Anders to leave, and gives him back Starbuck's dogtags. Galactica-Sharon gives him back his gun as he leaves. Six realizes that with all of the Cylons dead in the cafe, it should be at least 36 hours before Number Three gets resurrected and tells the others what happened. <br />
*Caprica-Six tells Galactica-Sharon that this is enough time to start changing things, start a new beginning for the Cylons: A way to live in God's love, without hate or lies. Together, these two Heroes of the Cylons can show them the way. Sharon says that she is with her, and they are dug out of the ruins of the building.<br />
<br />
===On ''Galactica''===<br />
*[[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Caprica-Sharon]] has gone into labor; she passed out and her placenta detached, and Dr. [[Cottle]] delivers the baby by C-section. It is premature and its lungs aren't fully developed as a result, so it has to be put in an oxygen-incubator. As Caprica-Sharon predicted, it is a girl. Helo and Caprica-Sharon adore it together, and name her "[[Hera]]". <br />
*Meanwhile, President [[Roslin]], Baltar, [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]], and Col. [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] debate what to do with it. Baltar points out that it is half-human. Adama realizes the Cylons want it, and that the Cylons still hiding in the Fleet will try to make a move for it if they know about it.<br />
*President Roslin has decided to hide Hera to protect her, so she has Cottle convince Helo and Caprica-Sharon that their baby has died (using a fake). Caprica-Sharon goes into hysterics and nearly chokes Cottle before breaking down, sobbing. <br />
*In fact, Roslin has given her to a woman named [[Maya]], who lost her baby in the Cylon attack. Maya adopts Hera, thinking she is a normal human child from a Pegasus officer. <br />
*Helo, helped by Chief Tyrol, spreads the "ashes" of Hera (actually faked) out the back of a Raptor into open space. <br />
*Number Six is devastated that Baltar "let" this happen and could not protect "their baby", though he says he did all he could. Number Six says that God's will was that Hera survive, that God's will was that "she would lead the next generation of God's children." In a rage, she says that Gaius has committed a sin, and his entire race will suffer God's vengeance.<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
*What will Number Three do when she is re-embodied? ([[Precipice|Answer]])<br />
*Who is Number One?<br />
*Were the Cylon Model numbers revealed so far (Three (D'Anna), Five (Doral), Six, Eight (Boomer)) numbered at random, or was there some underlying reason to why they were each assigned these specific numbers by the writers?<br />
**From [[Ron Moore]]'s blog on [http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/ July 27th, 2006]:<br />
::"Number Six was specifically a homage to "[[Wikipedia:The Prisoner|The Prisoner]]," but the rest were assigned their numbers randomly.<br />
*Based on reports of Lucy Lawless being asked if she wanted to "be God" and her current command behavior, could Number Three be based on a [[Iblis|Count Iblis]] type character?<br />
**No. Number Three is just a physical Cylon which will ''claim'' to be a God, Count Iblis was actually a metaphysical being. <br />
**Ron D. Moore has also stated in [[Iblis#In the Re-Imagined Series|interviews]] that he does not intend to bring a Count Iblis character onto the Re-Imagined Series at this time.<br />
* What model numbers are "[[Simon]]" and "[[Leoben Conoy]]" ?<br />
**Based on the assumption that model number corresponds with apparent age per the analysis below, Leoben Conoy — whose age is close to that of D'anna Biers — is probably Number Two or Number Four, while Simon is likely either Number Four or Number Seven.<br />
* Based on information mentioned in the Analysis, could the Cylons be patterning a [[Wikipedia: gerontocracy|gerontocratic]] form of leadership structure?<br />
*Given that Baltar's home was destroyed and Caprica-Six "died" in a nuclear explosion, how did Baltar survive?<br />
**In the [[Miniseries]] novelization, this is expanded upon; his house wasn't entirely destroyed (that is, not reduced to pebbles) and when Caprica-Six blocked the blast with her body it shielded him enough; he was thrown through the house against a wall and slightly hurt but did not die. (Note that novelizations are not typically considered [[canon]]ical.)<br />
***You only see shock wave (ie a force) destroying the house, rather than nuclear fall out of any sort. Given the gap between the flash and shock wave (and Baltar's survival), the distance from detonation probable was far enough that he was not engulfed by the fireball (one would presume a remote house over a lake is not considered a target).<br />
*We see Tyrol accompanying Helo to his and Sharon's daughter's "funeral", but who exactly was he there in support of, Helo or Sharon?<br />
**The easy answer is "both", but it seems likely that his presence was there more on Helo's behalf. Having been effectively marginalized in Sharon's eyes ("[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]"), and his later fears of being a Cylon, his feelings for her are probably on the downswing. <br />
* This episode raises new questions about the nature of Baltar-Six. Is she (merely) a projection from Baltar's subconscious mind, has she somehow been implanted into his psyche by the Cylons, or is she actually an angel (as she claims) or a demoness (as befits her personality)? It has already been established by the brainscan performed by Dr. Cottle that there is no cybernetic implant in Baltar's brain, at least none that is detectable by human technology. Also, in Ron Moore's podcast he seems to indicate that she is no more than a hallucination, produced by Baltar's subconsciousness. Her actions, however, do seem to be aimed at advancing a Cylon agenda.<br />
**Is it possible that in shielding Baltar from that blast, parts of each other's consciousness got imprinted on one another? That would not show in a scan, and would help explain why she has an imaginary Baltar.<br />
**It is perhaps interesting to note that Baltar's Six is subtly different in personality from the actual Six that he knew, while Six's Baltar is different in personality than the actual Baltar. This suggests that Six's Baltar is based upon her own perception of Baltar more than the man himself, and vice versa.<br />
* Does death hold any meaning to the Cylons? If they can just be reborn then perhaps they don't truly understand murder and genocide?<br />
**When they can't be resurrected their behavior changes ([[Scar]], [[The Captain's Hand]]), indicating that ''permanent'' death is something they avoid. On board the Pegasus, Gina's desire for death so that she can escape her memories indicates that, for some of them at least, they have some concept of death that coincides with the human understanding of it.<br />
<br />
== Analysis ==<br />
*Interestingly, the Baltar in Caprica-Six's head seems to be rather sharper-tongued, more cynical, and more harshly moralistic than the actual Baltar. <br />
*In the Miniseries, Leoben claimed to Adama that Cylons were superior to primitive humans, who were only "one step above beating each other to death with clubs". Ironically, Caprica-Six savagely beat Number Three to death "primitively" with a rock.<br />
*Apparently the documentary broadcast from [[the Fleet]] in "[[Final Cut]]" was not made widely available, since if Caprica-Six had seen it, she would have already known about Baltar's survival.<br />
*In the scene where ''Galactica''-Sharon is downloaded into her new body, when another Sharon smiles and says "we love you Sharon", this mirrors how another Sharon said the same thing to her on the basestar in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]", at which point she also freaked out. <br />
*There does not appear to be any pattern to the numbering scheme of the 12 Cylon models: Three (D'anna), Five (Doral), Six (Shelley Godfrey/Gina), Eight (Sharon), i.e. not all females are an even number, males an odd number. <br />
**However, these models do seem to get progressively younger the higher (perhaps, "most recent") their Number is: Three is eldest and has the number closest to one, while Eight is youngest and has the highest number out of these four. The older models also tend to have more authority.<br />
**Following that pattern, would Numbers Nine through Twelve be modeled after teenagers or children?<br />
*Cylon society on Caprica appears to consist of mostly mimicking human behavior &mdash; clothing, apartments, cafés, parks for relaxation, etc. In essence, the Cylons are merely trying to be what they have just exterminated &mdash; humans.<br />
**They have established previously that they consider humans to be more "real" and closer to God than they are ("this form brings us closer to God..."); they think that humans are more "real" and that if they wish to be real, they should adopt ''some'' aspects of what humanity is, but this doesn't necessarily stop them from being quite different from humanity.<br />
*Cylons appear to lead asexual lives &mdash; no Cylon "couples" were observed, or even any obvious signs of friendship between Cylons. While frequently talking about, and concerned with, love, Cylons are celibate except when interacting with humans. <br />
**There really isn't any evidence that cylons don't have sex with each other. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. This would be like walking in to a Starbucks and because you don't see anyone kissing concluding that humans are asexual beings that don't reproduce.<br />
***Sharon said in "[[The Farm]]" that Cylons have tried reproducing on their own, but failed, so then experimented with human-Cylon hybridization. This implies that they tried sexual relations between male and female Cylon models. It is unknown whether all such activities stopped once it became clear it was a literally fruitless effort, or how Cylon society would feel about such behavior.<br />
*As Caprica-Six and ''Galactica''-Sharon pointed out, the Cylons' claim that they are superior to humans because humans still kill because of greed and jealousy, etc. is hypocritical. They point out the logical disconnect of conducting genocide and murder in the name of an all-loving God. Further, Number Three's plan to "box" Caprica-Six and ''Galactica''-Sharon, which would ''in effect'' be murdering them, also makes her a murderer like the humans she claims to be better than.<br />
*At various points in the series, Baltar's internal Number Six has been seen manipulating physical objects: a test-tube in "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]", a chair in "[[Home, Part II]]", etc., which has led to the question of whether this is a continuity error, or if she is more real than she claims to be. In this episode, we seem to get an answer to this: Caprica-Six's hallucinatory Baltar makes a drink while in ''Galactica''-Boomer's apartment and hands it to her...only for the camera to shift angles, the hallucination-Baltar to be gone, and to show that Caprica-Six is actually grasping at air. Thus it can be inferred that this is just a stylistic choice by the production team: whenever Number Six ''appears'' to be manipulating a physical object on ''Galactica'', Baltar is hallucinating that she is doing this, and the camera is showing things that aren't "really" happening, from Baltar's perspective.<br />
*The Cylons did not expect their initial attack to be anywhere near as successful as it was. This would explain the apparently large number of Cylon military vessels showing up everywhere as the Cylons expected to fight a more protracted war against a larger surviving human military force.<br />
**That the Cylons felt it so necessary to sabotage the Colonial Fleet through Caprica-Six implies that they felt attacking without that advantage would have at best cost them many ships, and at worst resulted in defeat. The placing of the backdoor in the [[CNP]] was high risk; if the Colonials had discovered it before the Cylons attacked, they would have been forewarned of the coming assault, and could even have surprised the Cylons by acting as if they were unaware of the problem while secretly disabling the backdoor on all military spacecraft. <br />
***This is reinforced by the sheer amount of damage that Battlestars have proven capable of doing to even Base Stars ("[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]", "[[The Captain's Hand]], [[Exodus, Part II]]").<br />
*Hera's being hidden away soon after her birth in order to protect her fits her messiah-status, as other messiah figures have often also been hidden after their birth in similar fashion, such as [[Wikipedia:Jesus|Jesus]], [[Wikipedia:Moses|Moses]], [[Wikipedia:Harry Potter|Harry Potter]], [[Wikipedia:Superman|Superman]], [[Wikipedia:Aragorn|Aragorn]], [[Wikipedia:Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], etc.<br />
**This is also a common theme with tragic characters such as [[Wikipedia:Oedipus|Oedipus]], [[Wikipedia:Aegisthus|Aegisthus]], and [[Wikipedia:Paris (mythology)|Paris]].<br />
*It's strange that Roslin included Colonel Saul Tigh in the conversation about Hera's fate, but not Commander Lee Adama, who now outranks him.<br />
**It is likely that Commander Lee Adama was busy adjusting to his duties as the new CO of ''Pegasus'' and was briefed separately.<br />
*"At least forty" Cylon agents were killed in the cafe bombing. When Three was killed by Caprica-Six, she said it would take "at least 36 hours" for Three's consciousness to be downloaded to a new body. This implies perhaps a sequential (as opposed to parallel) processing of the download process. Why can't they handle more at the same time? Is it a technical limitation, or perhaps a religious one (i.e. they always try to treat the process with reverence)? That seems kind of inefficient though. In any case, it appears to take a little less than an hour per download assuming sequential downloading.<br />
**It is likely that additional forty downloads exceeds the short term capability of the hardware that was emplaced on Caprica. Resources are not infinite, and the current hardware is most likely what is deemed sufficient for routine work based on normal usage.<br />
**There has to be some kind of buffer system in place to hold the Cylons' consciousnesses in their layover between their physical death and rebirth if a large number of them die all at once.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
*Anders refers to humanoid Cylons as "Skin Jobs" in this episode, another reference to [[Wikipedia:Blade Runner|Blade Runner]] by the Re-Imagined Series (which [[Edward James Olmos]] also co-starred in). The Cylon Centurions are being referred to as "Bullet Heads".<br />
**When episode writer [[Bradley Thompson]] was [[Battlestar Wiki:Official Communiques#"Skin Jobs"|asked]] by Battlestar Wiki how it was decided to incorporate this referrence into the episode, he said:<br />
:"There was no real "decision" as such. We were writing "Downloaded". [[Jean Barolay|Barolay]] and [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] were on the roof and we needed a quick way to categorize. We remembered the term from Blade Runner and put it in. The drafts went through the usual pathways of approval and nobody shot it down. So now there are skin jobs along with metal jobs, clankers, and bulletheads (that last is credited to [[Gary Hutzel]])."<br />
*The vision of [[Number Six]] that Baltar sees all the time is ''not'' the same person as the woman he was sleeping with on Caprica who used him to lower Colonial defenses: [[Caprica-Six]]'s consciousness was downloaded into a new body. Chip-Six might be a duplicate, or something else.<br />
*Apollo and Starbuck do not appear in this episode. This is the first episode of the season in which Apollo has not appeared, and the third episode of the season in which Starbuck has not appeared (after "[[Fragged]]" and "[[Black Market]]").<br />
**In the first season, Apollo did not appear in "[[Litmus]]".<br />
**As of this episode, the only characters that have appeared in every episode of the Re-Imagined Series are President [[Laura Roslin]], Admiral [[William Adama]], and Colonel [[Saul Tigh]]. Michael Hogan (Col. Tigh) is actually not one of the seven "regular" cast members, but he has still been in every episode to date. <br />
*[[Rick Worthy]] ([[Simon]]) and [[Callum Keith Rennie]] ([[Leoben Conoy]]) do not actually appear in this episode. In several brief shots, body doubles dressed as their characters are seen from behind or in the distance, but these actors did not return for the episode.<br />
*We learn a lot of Cylon names in this episode: out of the twelve models of [[Cylon agent|humanoid Cylons]], besides the already-known "[[Number Six]]", the one who posed as human reporter "[[D'anna Biers]]" is model '''Number Three''', the one who posed as PR representative "[[Aaron Doral]]" is model '''Number Five''', and the one who infiltrated ''Galactica'' posing as the pilot "Sharon 'Boomer' Valerii" is model '''Number Eight'''.<br />
*A longstanding question has been answered: What do the Cylons call each other amongst themselves? They actually don't use the names of any human personas they might have infiltrated the Colonies with. "Number Six" is actually called "Number Six" in dialog for the first time in this episode (in the [[Miniseries]], we were left with the cryptic "There are twelve models, I am number six"). It is revealed that Cylons just call and think of themselves as "Number Three" or "Three", etc. It was speculated that individual copies might be distinguished by using a serial number or other ID, but apparently Cylon society is based so much on the idea of unity and lack of individuality that they simply ''do not have'' designations for individual units. When Number Three refers to ''Galactica''-Sharon, she just refers to her as "an Eight", etc. "Caprica-Six" is a makeshift nickname that was made up for the individual "celebrity" Number Six (probably because the Cylons had never developed a formal convention for naming individual units). Caprica-Six is sometimes called "Caprica" for short.<br />
*This gets a little confusing, because even though all of the Number Six copies on Caprica look identical and many (though not all) wear the same outifit as Caprica-Six, Cylon agents that Caprica-Six walks by still recognize who she is.<br />
*"Caprica-Six" appears to be a take on the ''ad hoc'' naming convention developed by fans for telling the different Cylon copies apart: review sites and message boards over time started distinguishing the copy of Boomer on ''Galactica'' and the copy of Boomer on Caprica as "''Galactica''-Sharon" and "Caprica-Sharon" for convenience. This loosely developed system then spread to other Cylons as they appeared ("[[Gina|''Pegasus''-Six]]", "Caprica-Doral", "Caprica-D'anna", etc.), though it isn't based on any official material (Battlestar Wiki eventually adopted these terms of convenience as well). When Number Three remarks to "Caprica-Six" that her nickname is a little funny, because she's only one of hundreds of copies of "Number Six" on Caprica, this might be a small joke by the writers at the expense of fans. <br />
*Sharon showed difficulty in performing chin ups, but later showed no problem in moving pieces of concrete weighing at least 100 pounds.<br />
**She could have just been angry, and not actually appearing strained because it was physically hard.<br />
**One of the consistent features of both ''Galactica''-Sharon and Caprica-Sharon has been the conflict between her "natural" Cylon Number Eight personality and her human Sharon personality. While probably intended that the two personalities should remain separate, with the Number Eight personality primary, it never worked out that way. In "[[Water]]", for example, Sharon reasserts herself before Number Eight can finish planting the charges. At this point, both ''Galactica''-Sharon/Eight and Caprica-Sharon/Eight have their personalities all jumbled up, with the Sharon personality exerting the stronger influence but retaining knowledge of being a Cylon and being Number Eight. Anyway: the Sharon "code" would have to include imposed limitations on what she believes her own strength and physical abilities to be, or she'd be found out much, much more easily. Inconsistencies in her apparent physical abilities can therefore be explained along with inconsistencies of her mixed but not really integrated personalities.<br />
**Cylon agents most likely have something similar to adrenaline, given that they would need to in order to pass as humans. Their greater physical abilities could be, partly, attributed to a greater ability to control their adrenaline.<br />
*Number Three appears to have some command functions based on her actions and behavior. These apparently include determining final disposition of other Cylon personalities.<br />
*Lucy Lawless once again uses her native New Zealand accent for [[D'anna Biers]], even though at the end of "[[Final Cut#notes|Final Cut]]" it was implied that her character normally doesn't. <br />
*Galactica-Sharon's old apartment number on Caprica was "502"<br />
*Much of the dialog in the episode recap is entirely new, and dubbed in to better summarize the segment.<br />
*According to RDM's podcast, there was an entire subplot in this episode in which Lucy Lawless's character "D'anna Biers" would interview President Roslin about rumors that the pregnant Cylon prisoner's baby had been born. Then "''Galactica''-Three" would try to kidnap the baby off of ''Galactica'' in collusion with [[Gina]] (''Pegasus''-Six). The subplot was cut for time (they wanted to spend more time focusing on events on Caprica), and also because they felt it made the episode very confusing; cutting between many different Cylon copies both on Caprica and ''Galactica''. These scenes were filmed then cut; they are provided as [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)#Downloaded|deleted scenes]] on the [[Season 2.5 DVD]] sets.<br />
*Sharon has a pair of hand carved, wood or stone, decorative elephants in her apartment. Caprica-Six asks her if they are from "[[Ithaca]]", which on Earth is an island off the coast of Greece and is the home of Odysseus in Homer's [[Wikipedia:Odyssey|Odyssey]]. She states that they were a gift from her mother for her graduation.<br />
** RDM went to Cornell, which is in Ithaca, NY. This is most likely the source of this name. <br />
*[[Caprica-Six]] assumed residence on Caprica two years prior to the cylon attack, which matches both the beginning of her relationship with Baltar ([[Miniseries]]) and the date that [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)]] was assigned to ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' ([[The Farm]]).<br />
*There are three cars in the underground garage. One clearly visible is a Citroën DS. When the Cylon enters the garage, the car on the right appears to be a Rover P6. The car on the left with a central headlamp appears to be a 1930s Tatra 87.<br />
** The license plate on the front of the car crushed in Anders' bomb attack reads '''SEXYMOM''', and has a "C-Bucs Rule" bumper sticker (for the [[Caprica Buccaneers]], the core of Ander's resistance group).<br />
* Whenever Baltar's internal (possibly hallucinatory) Number Six appears on ''Galactica'' during the series, Number Six's distinct soundtrack theme is played (plunking staccato notes on a xylophone, accompanied by violins). There is a subtle twist on this for this episode with Caprica-Six's internal Baltar (who is definitely a hallucination): whenever Six's hallucinatory Baltar appears, the normal "Number Six theme" is played ''in reverse''. The xylophone notes are played in reverse order, though the violin overlay is still played "forwards".<br />
*Different music plays during the two downloads at the beginning of the episode. A variation on the "Number Six theme" is heard during Caprica'-Six's flashbacks, while Boomer's flashbacks are accompanied by a more militaristic tune.<br />
<br />
== Noteworthy Dialogue ==<br />
<br />
*''Caprica-Sharon has gone into premature labor with her Hybrid baby:''<br />
:'''Cottle:''' I find it absolutely amazing you people went to all the trouble to appear human, and didn't upgrade the plumbing.<br />
<br />
*''"Caprica-Six" and a [[Number Three]]-copy walk past a crowd of other Cylons of various models, and they all keep turning their heads to look at Caprica-Six:''<br />
:'''Caprica-Six:''' I still can't get used to this.<br />
:'''Three:''' Well you're a Hero of the Cylon now. You're our first celebrity!<br />
:'''Caprica-Six:''' Oh, I'm just another Six.<br />
:'''Three:''' You're too modest. I'm just another Three... and they're Fives (motions at a Doral-model)... and Eights (motions at a Sharon-model). But you, everyone calls you "Caprica-Six"... like you're the only Six on the planet!<br />
<br />
*''President Roslin, Baltar, Admiral Adama and Col. Tigh discuss what to do with the Hybrid baby:''<br />
:'''Roslin:''' If [[Hera|the baby]] does survive, the question is &mdash; what do we do with it?<br />
:'''Baltar:''' Do? What are you suggesting? That we throw it out of an airlock?<br />
:'''Roslin:''' I don't make suggestions Mr. Baltar, if I want to toss a baby out of an airlock, I'd say so.<br />
<br />
*''[[Number Three]] prepares to execute [[Samuel Anders]]:''<br />
:'''Three:''' Humans don't respect life the way we do. (loads pistol)<br />
<br />
*''Anders' gun is knocked out of his hands, and it miraculously lands near Number Three, who picks it up, stands over Anders and gets ready to execute him:''<br />
:'''Number Three''': God loves me. (Caprica-Six pops up behind Number Three and bashes her over the head with a big rock of debris)<br />
:'''Caprica-Six''': See you again soon! (Caprica-Six bashes her head with the rock a second time, killing her current body, while her consciousness will soon download into another)<br />
<br />
*''[[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Boomer]] picks up a photograph of the ''Galactica'' crew to make a point to Caprica-Six about love:''<br />
:"''This'' is love. These people love me. I love them. I didn't pretend to feel something so I could screw people over. I loved them. And then I betrayed them! I shot a man I love, screwed over another man, ruined his life, and why? Because I'm a lying machine! I'm a frakking Cylon!"<br />
<br />
*''Caprica-Six's internal Baltar recites verse''<br />
:Life is short, but the next one's not<br />
:Let your heart adrift, and your soul will get caught<br />
:Believe the lies, ignore the truth<br />
:Listen to me, I will show you the proof.<br />
:Speak from your heart: say the things you know to be true<br />

== Overview ==<br />
<br />
:''The [[Cylons]] have begun the brutal crackdown on [[New Caprica]]'s [[Resistance]] movement. Tyrol receives disturbing news from a secret source within Baltar's administration while Colonial detainees face a Cylon firing squad on New Caprica. With time running out for the colonists, Admiral Adama will launch his rescue attempt with only the battlestar ''[[Galactica]]'', while his son, Commander [[Lee Adama]], and the battlestar ''[[Pegasus]]'' remain to protect what is left of the human fleet and continue the search for Earth if the rescue fails.''<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
<br />
*The final moments of "[[Precipice]]" are reshown as the captured detainees are being taken off the trucks. [[Cally Tyrol]] is freed, as the Centurions march up the hill. Tyrol continues to run as gunfire is heard. As the screen goes to black, the words "One Hour Earlier" are displayed.<br />
*[[Galen Tyrol]] is frantically talking with [[Saul Tigh]] about a list of detainees he received from his [[Felix Gaeta|source]], Cally Tyrol is among the listed. Tigh snaps him back to his senses, noting that they can locate the people now that they cracked the Cylons' coordinate system. <br />
*Chief Tyrol immediately gets to work, succesfully calculating the location of the execution, and gathers a team to rescue Cally and the others.<br />
*Tyrol's team, including [[Seelix]], is able to catch up with the Cylons, and get in position as Cally Tyrol starts running. Tyrol rushes out and gets his wife out of the line of fire, as his team takes out the Centurions meant to execute the detainees. Others injured include some members of the [[NCP]] and the [[Cavil]] that accompanies the truck.<br />
*Seelix leaves a wounded Cavil to death. After he downloads into a new body, the Cavil reports that he ended his own life, but is somewhat traumatized from the transfer process.<br />
*At [[Breeders Canyon]], similar to the scene at the [[Pergamus Flats]], a flashback shows how [[marines]] move into position to defend the meeting there against a possible attack.<br />
[[Image:Colonial RPG.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Colonial Marine with an RPG]]<br />
*[[Sharon Agathon]] moves ahead to meet with [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] and the resistance. As Agathon and Anders discuss their plans, the Centurions attack, taking out some of the resistance fighters, but are soon destroyed by a marine RPG.<br />
*After the attack, a map is recovered from one of the [[Cylon agent|'skinjobs']]. Anders recognizes it as the hand-drawn map passed on to [[Ellen Tigh]] to destroy in the heating fire within their tent. Anders immediately suspects Tigh in tipping off the Cylons.<br />
*While sleeping in her bed on ''[[Colonial One]]'', [[Number Three]] dreams of a tent near some odd rock edifices. The next image is of her holding [[Hera]]. She wakes up suddenly. <br />
*Also on ''[[Colonial One]]'', [[Gaius Baltar]] and [[Caprica-Six]] lie together in bed, but Baltar is fighting with impotence. Six is understanding, but Baltar shrugs off her sympathy.<br />
*[[Kara Thrace]] is showing further affection for [[Kacey]] and apologizes for her getting hurt. [[Leoben Conoy]] watches from the background.<br />
*Distrubed by her dream, [[Three]] visits [[Selloi]], a human [[oracle]] whose tent she saw in her dream, who tells her that [[Hera]] is still alive, but warns that holding the child will undo all that the Cylons have accomplished on the planet.<br />
*On ''[[Galactica]]'', a combined crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' and ''Galactica'' crews ready for the rescue mission. [[Margaret Edmondson]] conducts a [[Salt Line Ceremony|ceremony]] to bind the people together, given the odds of the mission.<br />
*[[William Adama|William]] and [[Lee Adama]] have a farewell of their own when Commander Adama leaves ''Galactica'' for ''Pegasus'', with orders to wait 18 hours for ''Galactica'''s return. Otherwise, ''Pegasus'' must continue the search for Earth with the surviving [[The Fleet (RDM)|members of the Fleet]].<br />
*Three inquires with Dr. [[Cottle]], who is treating a Five wounded by a human attack, about Hera's alleged death. She points out that it didn't make much sense for him to simply cremate the first ever human/Cylon hybrid, something that no one had ever seen before, without studying it first. Cottle states that it was President Roslin's decision.<br />
*[[Laura Roslin]] orders Anders to guard [[Maya]] and [[Hera]] at all costs. He tasks two of his best men to protect her and see to her safe escape.<br />
*Gunnery Sergeant [[Mathias]], the leader of Agathon's Marines, meets with Roslin, [[Tom Zarek]] and the resistance to discuss the rescue plan. She brings weapons for the upcoming fight and learns that the colonists conducted evacuation exercises under the guise of fire drills.<br />
*A [[Cavil]] voices his despair at the continued bloodshed, [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] agrees. Many of the Cylons disagree significantly as to what to do to reestablish control. A [[Number Five]] says that, if the worse comes to worst, that they can just nuke the city.<br />
*Saul Tigh learns of his wife's betrayal and is visibly shocked by it.<br />
*Sharon Agathon heads into the [[New Caprica Detention Center]] and gets the [[launch key]]s for the Colonial ship. Three enters the secured room, immediately recognizes her, stops Agathon and tells her that [[Hera|her daughter]] is alive. Unwilling to consider this matter for now, Agathon shoots the Three in the legs: "Adama wouldn't lie to me."<br />
*''Galactica'' is given word that the launch keys have been retrieved, and after a rousing speech by Admiral Adama, begins preparations for the jump to New Caprica.<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
<br />
*Roslin and Zarek seem to have reconciled their differences and become friends. Given Saul Tigh's feeling that Roslin will resume the Presidency once humanity has left [[New Caprica]], and that Zarek used to be Baltar's vice president, will he assume the mantle of vice president under Laura Roslin?<br />
**Or, will Zarek claim the presidency by legal succession if Baltar is removed from office?<br />
*A Cavil mentions that he has different sensations after each download. He suffers a slight headache after the first and, after the third, a sensation like a white hot poker inside his skull. Is there damage to the consciousness during each downloading and is there a point where after so many downloads the consciousness is destroyed or corrupted?<br />
**In the podcast for this episode, [[Ronald D. Moore]] reveals that the intent of Cavil's description was to show that there is a "cost" associated with downloading.<br />
***Although [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raiders]] are not sentient to same degree as humanoid Cylons, [[Sharon Agathon]] describes a similar traumatizing after repeated deaths of the berserking Raider known as [[Scar (Raider)|Scar]].<br />
***[[Number Three]] had commented in "[[Downloaded]]" on feeling refreshed like starting a new life when describing her download experience. [[Caprica-Six]] expressed adjustment issues, including her [[Cylon-Related Hallucinations|visions]] of Gaius Baltar.<br />
****Number Three also said that following her first download she was klutzy for a time and frequently knocked things over or tripped.<br />
*Are the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Lords of Kobol|Lords of Kobol]] real? Why are they sending accurate dreams to a Cylon? Why is a human oracle helping Three interpret the dreams? <br />
**The gods are "real," at least as historical entities that lived on Kobol, a fact that even the Cylons acknowledge. The Cylons (and a number of Colonials) dispute their actual divinity. The Colonials appear to have some foresight from the gods through their [[oracle]]s. The connection of the Lords of Kobol to the Cylons is a curious (and unexplained) event in the case of the dreams of Number Three.<br />
*Why does Doctor Cottle work to heal critically injured Cylons instead of just letting them die and be resurrected?<br />
**The Cylons might want to minimize the trauma of downloading into a new body, although comments from Number Three to Cottle dispute this.<br />
**Cottle is a physician, and has likely taken a vocational pledge to aid. Allowing a sentient being to die, regardless of their ideology, is breaching this oath through omission of action. He helped [[Sharon Agathon]] through her pregnancy for similar reasons.<br />
***At least in TV drama, doctors in wartime have an affinity for helping everyone. There are plenty of [[Wikipedia:M*A*S*H (TV series)|''M*A*S*H'']] episodes that illustrate this.<br />
*Where is "[[Download City]]"?<br />
**It is possible that [[Seelix|Seelix's]] use of the phrase "Download City" is merely a euphemism for the download process the humanoid Cylon models go through.<br />
**Download City may also be a reference to a downloading facility present on New Caprica.<br />
***The Cylons would likely keep such a facility hidden to all humans on the planet, no matter what their relationship is to the Cylon occupation. The destruction by suicide or planted bomb of a download facility on New Caprica would spell real death for all agents there if Basestars aren't actually used for this purpose (this isn't likely, else the [[Resurrection Ship]] would not have been protected ''by'' Basestars).<br />
****According to Bradley Thompson on [[Battlestar Wiki:Official Communiques]], Download City is simply Seelix's slang for whereever Cylon's go when they resurrect.<br />
*Is there any possibility at all that Adama wasn't aware of Roslin's plans for Hera? ([[The Eye of Jupiter|Answer]])<br />
**There are no direct indications that Adama is aware of Roslin's conspiracy regarding the baby. Given the positive changes in his relationship with Sharon Agathon, that seems to now be based on complete mutual trust, it is unlikely that he would keep such a profound secret from her, if he was aware of it.<br />
**Additionally, Adama was quite direct with Helo regarding the plans to abort the child. Whatever his relationship with Sharon, it seems unlikely that Adama would rob Helo of his paternal rights in this way, particularly after Helo [[Epiphanies|brings up their respective fatherhood]].<br />
**Dr. Cottle is a military officer and his actions would have to have been cleared through Adama. There may well be other reasons why Agathon wasn't told, including keeping the information from the Cylons in the event she was captured or downloaded.<br />
***In military parlance, the president's authority supersedes that of an admiral, and a military officer does not need to report back to his commanding officer orders that originated from the president.<br />
****However, Adama and Roslin agreed that ''all'' military matters rested with the Admiral, whereas Roslin was the civilian leader of the fleet. It stands to reason that Adama would have known.<br />
*****That unofficial agreement was broken in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]" and there is no indication that they have restored it.<br />
**The expression on Adama's face during his conversation with Sharon Agathon in "[[Occupation]]" suggests that he is aware of the conspiracy regarding Hera.<br />
***Said expression may also be a reference to his guilt over the whole situation with Sharon Agathon/Boomer/Number Eight in general, and not a specific reference to Hera.<br />
*What other operations are the Cylons busy with elsewhere in the universe, that are straining their resources for their experiment on New Caprica (also referenced to by Ron Moore in his podcast)?<br />
*Will some humans refuse to leave once the escape begins?<br />
*Will the escapees block proven or suspected collaborators from boarding the escaping ships?<br />
**How many, if any, of the New Caprica Police are publicly known, and once the escape begins, what will be their ultimate fate?<br />
*Adama's plan to use only ''Galactica'' and the ships remaining on the ground on New Caprica seems a bit unrealistic given the fact that there are over 39,000 colonists on the planet. How will they find room for all of the evacuees?<br />
**It is very reasonable to assume that the carrying capacity of the ships approximates the number of people on the planet, since it is very resource-intensive to move people around in the ''Battlestar Galactica'' universe. The attrition suffered by the Colonials only improves this probability.<br />
**Will the Colonials find time to also evacuate much of their critically-rationed supplies and equipment as well as themselves during the chaos of evacuation?<br />
*Is Maya suspicious about Roslin's protectiveness of her and Isis?<br />
**As mentioned in "[[Downloaded]]", Isis is said to have been a child given up by a senior ranking officer for political reasons. Maya may have been told that Isis, should she be captured, would make for a very valuable kidnapping asset, given her (supposed) parentage.<br />
*What exactly has Caprica-Six given up for Gaius?<br />
**To an extensive degree, Caprica is mistrusted by the other Cylons and while not thought to be a traitor per se, is probably considered a [[Wikipedia:Quisling|Quisling]]. This is what she may have meant.<br />
* After Helo departs Admiral Adama's room after indicating that Sharon has the launch keys, Adama punches his desk, seemingly in frustration. Given that it is great news that Sharon has the keys and that they can now begin the rescue operation, why does Adama show anger/frustration? Is it his guilt over not being able to tell Helo and Sharon, who now has again proven her loyalty, that their daughter is alive?<br />
** It can also be interpreted as Adama using the good news to break through the anger and frustration built up over the past several weeks of partly unsuccessful planning and training missions and not being able to do anything at the moment. Punching his desk can signify both anger and elation at the same time.<br />
* If cylon 'skinjobs' can share memories and experiences as implied in many previous episodes, why would Sharon believe that merely shooting Three in the knees would be sufficient to stop her warning the others?<br />
** The sharing of memories and experiences may require access to a [[Cylon data port]], instead of being a wireless process.<br />
<br />
== Analysis ==<br />
<br />
* The [[Number Three]] that has been having dreams about Hera saw [[Sharon Agathon]] and was able to tell that she was the copy that had been left with Helo on Caprica. She may have deduced this from the fact that Sharon was taking the launch keys, or she may have been able to sense her identity somehow.<br />
* Roslin's line about [[Hera]], "She may well be the shape of things to come", echoes similar lines by Six in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]" and by Adama in "[[Valley of Darkness]]". "The Shape of Things to Come" is also the title of the orchestral music piece at the end of "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]".<br />
*Anders seems to know, or at least suspect, what is so special about Maya's child.<br />
*[[Caprica-Six]] has been [[Cylon rebirthing tank|redownloaded]] after her "death" in [[Precipice]]. She was not "boxed".<br />
*The Cylons on New Caprica appear to not have any sort of attachment to the humans they rule as evidenced by their willingness to just nuke the colony if they can't make it work as desired. This conflicts with the decision that their earlier attempt at genocide was a mistake. This is additional evidence of fundamental contradictions and disconnects within the Cylon psyche that they are blind to. Based on their actions to date, skinjob behavior tends toward the sociopathic with the exception of Boomer, Sharon, and Caprica-Six.<br />
*Baltar has become a suicidal drunk - his appearance has become slovenly and he appears to have given up on basic grooming. He is also having trouble performing the act of sex with Caprica-Six.<br />
*Admiral Adama's claim that his crew "will find immortality as only the Gods once knew" draws on [[wikipedia:Iliad#The story of the Iliad|the choice]] given to [[wikipedia:Achilles|Achilles]] by [[wikipedia:Thetis|his mother]] about joining the war in [[wikipedia:Troy|Troy]]: fight couragously and perish in battle, or be forgotten by history. Achilles chose to go to battle and is a legend. Adama's use of that theme strengthens the case for a link between the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]] and the bronze-age [[wikipedia:Hellenistic civilization|Hellenistic culture]] of real Earth.<br />
**[[Bradley Thompson]] and [[David Weddle]] deliberately draw inspirations from ancient stories like [[wikipedia:Homer|Homer]]'s [[wikipedia:Iliad|Iliad]]. Such references do not indicate whether there is such a link.<br />
*There is a discontinuity between "[[Precipice]]" and this episode regarding the execution scene. First, Cally apparently changed direction between episodes for more dramatic effect. At the conclusion of "Precipice", Cally is shown jumping into a gully to the "left" of where the trucks are stopped, and is apparently shown running "down," toward the initial camera position. The camera shoots Cally from her right as she runs, showing a backdrop of trees and vines. In "Exodus, Part I", she is shown running to the "right," towards Tyrol and the other resistance fighters. The camera here is also from Cally's right, but this time she is running in front of a barren background. Secondly, the gunfire starts at a different time. At the conclusion of "Precipice", Cally is clearly shown running ''while'' the gunfire begins. In "Exodus, Part I", Tyrol throws her to the ground ''before'' it does.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
<br />
* There is also a comic called ''[[Exodus!]]'', which covers the events of [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|the Original Series]]' episode, "[[Saga of a Star World]]" (Part 2).<br />
* This is the first episode where viewers have seen an [[oracle]]. Oracles such as [[Pythia]] and [[Galen Tyrol]]'s mother have been mentioned but not seen.<br />
* Tyrol inexplicably lost his beard before this episode. This was necessary because Aaron Douglas's scenes were shot weeks after the main part of the episode, when he had already shaved and it was felt that a fake beard would not be convincing.<br />
*[[Chamalla]] is a bitter herb, and oracles sometimes use candy to sweeten it up.<br />
*{{spoilli|According to [[Ronald Moore]]'s podcast, in earlier drafts [[Jammer]] was going to die during the shootout at the execution site. However, he decided that the character would be used in later episodes of the season.}}<br />
<br />
== Noteworthy Dialogue ==<br />
<br />
*''As Chief Tyrol is about to leave Tigh's tent'':'' <br />
:'''Colonel Tigh''': Chief! Pull it together.. You won't do her any good if you get caught too.. Besides, the last thing your son wants is me and Ellen for parents.. <br />
<br />
*''Before Lee Adama departs ''Galactica'':'' <br />
:'''Admiral William Adama''': I'll see you at the rendezvous point.<br />
:'''Commander Lee Adama''': Eighteen hours. Try not to be late. <br />
:'''William Adama''': I'm getting old; I'm a little slow, but I'll be there.<br />
:'''Lee Adama''': Gods, I wish I could talk you out of this...<br />
:'''William Adama''': You can't. You tried.<br />
:'''Lee Adama''': You know, Dad, um...<br />
:'''William Adama''': Don't. Don't make me cry on my own hangar deck.<br />
<br />
*''During the [[Salt Line Ceremony]] on the hangar deck:''<br />
:'''Margaret "Racetrack" Edmondson''': Their enemies will divide them, their colonies broken in the fiery chasm of space. The shining days renounced by a multitude of dark sacrifices. Yet still they will remain. Always together.<br />
<br />
*''As Galactica prepares to return to New Caprica:''<br />
:'''Admiral Adama''': This is the Admiral. You've heard the news. You know the mission. You should also know that there is only one way that this mission ends, and that's with the successful rescue of our people off of New Caprica. Look around you. Take a good look at the men and women that stand next to you. Remember their faces, for one day you will tell your children and your grandchildren that you served with such men and women as the universe has never seen. And together you accomplished a feat that will be told and retold down through the ages, and find immortality as only the Gods once knew. I'm proud to serve with you. Good hunting.<br />
