Overview
Starbuck discovers a hidden musical ability that bears a mysterious significance to the final five Cylons, and her tune is found to have a connection with three-year-old human-Cylon hybrid Hera. The president authorizes Boomer's release from the Brig so she can stand trial for treason on the Cylon Base Ship. [2]
Summary
Act 1
Act 2
Act 3
Act 4
Notes
- Lee Adama only appears in a scene or two.
- Someone To Watch Over Me is the name of a song composed by George and Ira Gershwin, and featured in the musical Oh, Kay! A major theme of the song is the need to find love and acceptance.
- There was also an episode of Star Trek: Voyager named for the song, in which it is performed at the end by The Doctor.
Analysis
- The Cylons seem to have officially joined the fleet as they now have the representation they wanted on the new Quorum in the form of a Six named Sonja.
- Ellen's escape from Cavil seems to have been orchestrated between him and Boomer in order to get her on Galactica so she could kidnap Hera.
- It would appear that while Cavil was willing to let Ellen go in order to obtain Hera, members of the Final Five are still of some value to him, as evidenced by Boomer's offer for Tyrol to go with her.
- The Final Five have the same projection ability as the Cylons they created. Cylons can share projections with each other.
- Projections can include not just imaginary environments but also imaginary people, such as Boomer and Tyrol's "daughter" Dionne.
- Galactica is in very bad shape from the metal fatigue in the hull. It's so bad that Tyrol says that all the organic resin could do is buy a little more time but not too much from the looks of it. The ship is dying of old age and there's nothing anyone can do save it completely.
- Is the image of "Slick" a projection of Kara's Father. If so, based on his creativity and the timing of Kara's birth, could Daniel be her father? Her abusive mother made it clear she was special. Her knowledge of the song, and the symbol from the supernova cannot be simple coincidence.
Questions
- Is Boomer taking Hera to Cavil, and if so, is she of value to him in and of herself or will he ransom her for the Final Five to rebuild resurrection? Or is Boomer working alone or for a third party?
- Is the Eight switched with Boomer by Tyrol dead, or merely injured?
- What is Roslin's physical status?
- What connection is there between Roslin's collapse and Hera's kidnapping?
- If Tyrol had gone with Boomer, would Cavil have opened his brain as he threatened to do with Ellen?
- Did Boomer sleep with Helo merely to maintain her pretense, because she was attracted to him, or to intentionally hurt Athena? Or was it both?
- What is the source of the "Slick" image Starbuck has been seeing?
- How did Starbuck and Hera arrive at the same melody originally played by Anders on Earth?
- Will Eight's idea of plugging Anders into the datastream lead anywhere?
- Will Tyrol's involvement in Boomer's escape be figured out? Will he confess?
- If Tyrol's treachery does come to light, how will others react?
- Do all the ships in the Fleet - regardless of their relative crew and passenger size - get to send representatives to the new Quorum? (This is similar to the situation the Founding Fathers faced when trying to decide if state representation in Congress should be based on individual state population or restricted to the same number of representatives per state).
