Scattered

Overview

Chaos is rampant as paramedics try to save Commander Adama's life after he is shot, and the Galactica is separated from the fleet.

Summary

On Caprica

• In the Delphi Museum, Helo and Kara Thrace (Starbuck), after Starbuck attempts to shoot Sharon Valerii, talk about her being pregnant; Helo believes her, while Starbuck refuses to accept the fact.
• After Starbuck's attempt to shoot Valerii, she absconds from the Delphi Museum's grounds in the Cylon Raider. (Exclaims Starbuck: "The bitch took my ride.")

Questions

• Does Tigh recall that Gaius Baltar first tested his Cylon detector on Valerii? Or did he know in the first place?
• Regarding the firewall status display: What is not to say that the Cylons programmed the display, or more accurately the GUI interface for it, to show a false reading on their intrusion progress?
• Interesting connundrum: If Kelly is the Galactica's third-in-command, then why haven't we seen (or heard) more from him in the past? It seems to be more or less contrived.
• Just how many aboard the Galactica agree with Adama's decision to jail Roslin?

Notes

• Socinus's lungs are filling with fluid.
• Captain Kelly is the third in the chain of command, after Tigh.
• Adama and Tigh served on a freighter together after leaving the military; Adama was responsible for bringing Tigh back into the military when he reentered.
• This episode marks the first (known) attempt at networking Galactica's computer systems.
• Tigh's distrust of Baltar seems evident in this episode, particularly in the reply he made to Gaeta regarding the trust he had in the Lieutenant's programming abilities over Baltar's.
• Tigh's wife has taken residence in Tigh's quarters.
• The Cylons have unveiled a new craft in this episode: an armed troop carrier.

Bloopers

• During the scene on Caprica, Helo exclaims "for God Sake's" instead of the more Colonial "for Gods' Sakes".

Official Statements

• "We shot a scene where I’m in the brig, and Tigh is trying to get in my face, and I’m all, 'Just shoot me now, you pussy.' It was great." -- Grace Park, [1]

• We've almost completed shooting the opening of Season Two, with Michael Rymer back at the helm filming a two-parter written by David Weddle & Bradley Thompson called 'Scattered' and 'Valley of Darkness.' Things have been going well so far, with a good mood on the set and a feeling of satisfaction and pride running through the whole team at their accomplishments in year one and anticipation for year two." --
