Overview
- Lacy Rand's training as a soldier in the STO takes an unexpectedly violent turn. Jordan Duram is pushed to reveal the identity of his confidential informant. The Guatrau becomes a danger to Daniel Graystone—and puts serious doubts into the minds of Sam and Joseph Adama.
Summary
Act 1
Act 2
Act 3
Act 4
Notes
- "Blowback" is a term used for violent, unintended consequences of a covert operation.
- Because the last five episodes of the season were rescheduled by Syfy, this was the first episode to air in Canada before the United States.
- After the cancellation of the Caprica series was announced, the original SyFy timeslot of 10:00 PM EDT Tuesday was filled by the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "A Matter of Time."[3]
Analysis
- When Lacy first meets Odin at the spaceport, she asks, "Do you speak Caprican?" to which Odin replies, "Everyone speaks Caprican", indicating that the power and influence of Caprica have led to its native language being spoken as at least a second language throughout the other colonies. This accords with the fact that every character in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica speaks Caprican, 58 years after these events. The quasi-canon map of the Twelve Colonies lists official languages only for Caprica, Gemenon, Leonis and Tauron, which could mean that Caprican has displaced other languages on the other colonies, or that the production team didn't create a name for each one.
- The "hijackers" speak Old Gemenese, which is similar to Romanian, as established in the re-imagined series movie "Razor". The quasi-canon map of the Twelve Colonies states that Old Gemenese is the official language of Gemenon (obviously, in this case, the word "old" does not mean that it has fallen out of use).
