Overview[edit]
The Cylons have occupied the human settlement of New Caprica, and it's been three months since Galactica, Pegasus, and a handful of ships escaped into deep space. But the fight is not over. On New Caprica, a resistance has begun — and despite having only a handful of untested pilots at his command, Admiral Adama is committed to risking everything on a daring attack to rescue the people he left behind. [1]
Summary[edit]
- The episode begins with a series of cut scenes. Light flashes over Saul Tigh's face. He is in a prison cell and he is scratching notches into a calendar on the wall. His wife, Ellen, is having sex with one of the Cavils. Roslin lights a candle and prays to the gods. Tyrol and Anders are planting a bomb. Starbuck is setting a table. Adama is trying to strategize in the situation room but becomes frustrated while moving ship models around on the table.
- A Cavil walks into Tigh's cell and taunts him as he attempts to hide the calendar that he has scratched in the wall. Leobon Conoy walks into the room that Starbuck set the table carrying her dinner, sits and prays to "The Heavenly Father". Tyrol and Anders scatter away as a heavy cylon raider lands where they were setting the bomb.
- After Ellen has sex with the Cavil, she asks when is she getting what she wants. He informs her that it should be happening right at that moment. At same time, the Cavil in the cell with Tigh releases him from prison in a very taunting way. He exits the prison and Ellen finds him there.
- a few 'skinjobs' including at least 1 Eight and 1 Six are approaching the heavy raider as several 'chromejobs' are exiting it. Tyrol and Anders set off the bomb and a great explosion ensues that is witnessed by Leoben Conoy. He had walked to the window to see what was going on. He returns to the table, pushes his knife away from Starbuck, and as he comments on how beautiful she is, she stabs him in the neck with a fork. As he dies, he tells Starbuck that he will see her soon. She tells him to take his time. Then, after wiping her hand on the carpet, she returns to the table and resumes eating dinner. (This is the end of the "FirstLook" sneakpeak provided at Scifi.com.)
Questions[edit]
Analysis[edit]
Notes[edit]
- In an interview with the Seattle Times, Ron Moore has confirmed that the first episode of season three will not take place immediately after the previous season finale (like "Scattered" did), but skip ahead a few more months to when the Cylon occupation is in full swing, and an insurgency has already developed.
- According to an interview[2] with Ron Moore from May 31st, Amanda Plummer will guest star in the season 3 premiere.
- According to series composer Bear McCreary's official website blog, the first two episodes of season 3 will premiere back-to-back as a two hour TV movie
- This was further confirmed in Ron Moore's blog on July 27th, 2006:
- "As it currently stands, we will be opening Season Three with a two-hour premiere of what were originally two stand-alone episodes, "Occupation" and "Precipice" ("Occuprice," as it were) then resume airing normal one hours with "Exodus, Part I"."
- "Occupation" and "Precipice" are now one "super episode": "Occupation" is "Episode 1", and "Precipice" is "Episode 1.5", followed by "Exodus, Part I", which is considered to be "Episode 2", and so on for all subsequent episodes.
- According to Ron Moore at the BSG Comic-Con panel, "Occupation" takes place 4 months after the Cylon occupation began at the end of "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II".
