Noteworthy Dialogue

• The Starbucks exchange barbs over helping the remaining humans:

  Lieutenant Starbuck: Come on, are we just going to watch while the Cylons execute the human race? We're the same person, Starbuck! Fate can't have squeezed every shred of decency out of you in this timeline!

  Zee: Oh.
