Overview
Summary
- Adama has finally given Starbuck the go-ahead to plan a rescue mission to Caprica. On Pegasus, she lays out their plan: they will use all of their remaining Raptors -- 20 in all -- and use the navigation computer/organ from one of the captured Heavy Raiders to calculate the Jumps back to Caprica. Using this, they can make it back to Caprica in a series of 10 Jumps. Their biggest obstacle to doing this was actually interfacing with the Heavy Raider's navigation "computer", but now they will take Caprica-Sharon along in Starbuck's Raptor with it; Sharon will directly interface with the computer (by inserting a fiber-optic cable into her arm, like she did in "Flight of the Phoenix").
Questions
Analysis
- Something to keep in mind is that during the Mini-series, "after Picon was nuked, the president offered a complete unconditional surrender; the Cylon's didn't even respond". What if the Cylons finally accept the surrender which the Colonial government actually already offered? However, this was done by President Adar, before Roslin was sworn in as president; will she consider this previous offer binding to her new administration? Will other characters point out President Adar's already surrendering as an reason to agree to the Cylons terms now?
- Probably obvious, but are the copies of Boomer and Six Caprica-Six and Sharon, the two from the prior episode?
Notes
Noteworthy Dialogue
Official Statements
- In an interview in issue #197 of TV Zone, James Callis (Dr. Gaius Baltar) said: "the arrival of the Pegasus has helped galvanize our characters into who they are and who they’re trying to be. These later episodes [in Season 2] also further drive home the fact that the Galactica’s crew could be exterminated by its own kind, meaning that Humans are potentially far more terrifying an enemy than perhaps the Cylons."
Guest Stars
- Richard Hatch as Tom Zarek
- Kate Vernon as Ellen Tigh
- Michael Trucco as Samuel Anders
