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!
- Captain Starbuck: I fight when I want to. My battles. Not... that kind of suicidal felgercarb. There's no percentage.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Right. Funny you can't even look me in the eye when you say that.
- When Galactica attacks Baltifer's basestar:
- Baltifer: A battlestar? A battlestar? Is this a trick of yours, Adama?
- Adama: I wish it was. Fate is kind today.
- Baltifer: Counter attack! Destroy all the humans and that wretched ship! And kill Adama!

- Starbuck: Zee, you see, it's all about risk and reward. No more time weapons... It's not worth it.
- Zee: Oh.
