Overview[edit]

When Starbuck is implicated in a rival triad-player's murder, Apollo and Boomer come to his defense as Protectors. They eventually uncover a plot involving Karibdis, a traitor alongside Baltar in the destruction of the Twelve Colonies.

Summary[edit]

Questions[edit]

  • Baltar warns Starbuck he has so many enemies on the prison barge waiting for his arrival he'll be dead before he gets to his cell. How is it Baltar, a willing accomplice in the holocaust, manages to stay alive?

Analysis[edit]

Notes[edit]

  • Very broadly based on an unshot script by Michael Sloan titled "Fire in Space." According to Jim Carlson and Terry McDonnell, they never saw the original but since Sloan had written a script with a murder, he received story credit.

Noteworthy Dialogue[edit]

Official Statements[edit]

Guest Stars[edit]
