Act 4

Notes

  • Escape velocity is the minimum initial velocity an unaccelerated object needs to end up escape a body's gravitational field.
  • A Gemenon delegate is to be cast [1], suggesting an appearance of the Quorum of Twelve, or at least part of it.
  • A Cylon coup is rumored to take place in this episode. The Centurions discover that a device implanted within their brains prevents them from developing free will, and upon having it removed decide to rebel against their humanoid masters. They ambush the humanoid Cylons during a formal dinner, and open fire. This is evidenced by a heavily damaged basestar set, where recent visitors observed bullet ridden walls, broken glass and massive chunks of wall ripped away (presumably by explosive blasts) [2] [3].
  • According to an unconfirmed source at SyFy Portal, the Centurion uprising may be the work of a humanoid Cylon. When the Cylons discover that members of the Final Five are located within the Fleet, a proposal to cease further attacks on the humans is made (as it is unknown if these Cylons have the ability to resurrect). The implementation of this proposal rests on a vote among the humanoid Cylons, and after a potentially undesirable decision is made, one Cylon takes matters into his(her) own hands: he(she) reprograms the Centurions and orders the permanent deaths of 3 other humanoid models [4].
