Overview

Pursuing the Resurrection Hub at the whim of the Hybrid, a team of Viper pilots and Cylon rebels become uneasy collaborators as they formulate a battle plan to un-box the Threes and destroy Cylon resurrection forever. Meanwhile, Roslin and Baltar try desperately to communicate with the panicking Hybrid and Helo discovers a disturbing characteristic within one of the Eights.

Notes

Analysis

  • Baltar, now having found a way to absolve all guilt for any action, takes his scheming to a new extremes while attempting to make an ally out of the Centurions.
  • The dichotomy of experienced time when performing an FTL jump (it happens both instantaneously and is drawn out for what seems to be a long time) appears to be yet another avenue for the Lords of Kobol to interact with humans. Other examples are dreams, a hypnotic state, and between death and resurrection.

Questions

  • Why do the Cylons have only one Resurrection Hub and the implied inability to build another?
  • Are the Cylons capable of building a new Hub, and if so, how long it would it take them?
  • Does Boomer make it off of the Hub before it is destroyed?
  • Is there time to resurrect Cavil?
  • How many other Eights have accessed Athena's memories, and how will this affect her relationship with Helo?

Official Statements

Noteworthy Dialogue

  • Adama reading to Roslin during her vision:
"'Then I dug into the stump and pulled rocks from the ground until my fingers bled. I collected seeds from the few fruits the island offered and planted them in long straight furrows like the ranks of soldiers. When I finished I looked at what I had done. I did not see a garden; I saw a scar. This island had saved my life and I had done it no service.'"
  • Roslin and Adama tenderly greeting each other in the Basestar hangar deck:
Roslin [Embracing Adama]: "I love you."
Adama [Breaking the embrace; looks into her eyes]: "About time."
