Overview
- Ellen Tigh is resurrected, and she knows all the answers. Anders' condition releases a flood of visions and crucial memories.
Summary
On Galactica
On a Basestar
- Set in the past.
Notes
- This episode title (and production information) are derived from a call sheet posted by Wil McQueen.[2]
- No Exit is the title of a 1944 existentialist play by Jean-Paul Sartre. The story references three people who are trapped in Hell, shown as a stately room with chairs and sofas. Each character in the play loathes the other two characters. The play contains the notable line, "Hell is other people!"
- Helen Tigh remarks to Sharon Valerii when she comes to escort Ellen to surgery that she "...should have brought a tumbrel." On earth a thumbrel is a two wheel cart used to carry various loads, particularly on a farm. [1] On Earth during the French Revolution in the 1780's, many condemned prisoners were carried to the guillotine in a tumbrel. Ellen sardonically was referring to this in her remark to Valerii. Depending on the historical relationship of real life events and the Colonies in the show-if any-maybe she was referring directly to the French Revolution or a similar parallel event on Kobol and/or the Thirteen Colonies.
