Overview[edit]

The Circle, a secret tribunal on Galactica, decides the fate of Jammer and other Colonials who aided the Cylons during the occupation of New Caprica.

Summary[edit]

  • James Lyman is brought before The Circle. He is found guilty of treason, the punishment for which is death. Despite his pleas and an attempt to convince Galen Tyrol to spare him, for Lyman freed Cally Tyrol from the Cylon death squad (Precipice), The Circle carries out Lyman's punishment and ejects him from the Galactica by depressurizing the launch tube they lock him in.
  • After Lyman's execution, Tyrol talks to his wife about how she escaped. While she claims to not have thought about the incident since, she tells him that she thinks one "of those goons" set her free.
  • Gaeta is convicted after Tyrol is pressured into giving the deciding vote. In the launch tube, he reveals to the Circle that he was Tyrol's source.
  • Laura Roslin is re-inaugurated as the President of the Twelve Colonies, and issues a decree of amnesty against all alleged collaborators, after it is revealed that former President Tom Zarek authorized the trials and sentences conducted by the Circle.
  • Still outcast, Gaeta is reinstated in the Colonial Fleet. In the mess hall, Tyrol later dines with Gaeta after Roslin issues her decree. Both eat in silence as the other crew members are taken aback by the act.

Questions[edit]

  • Will there be another organization in the Fleet that will continue where The Circle left off?
  • What of Lee Adama, Anastasia Dualla and other officers of Pegasus? How will these redundacies be dealt with?
  • Why is Charlie Connor aboard Galactica? Outside of The Circle, what was his purpose on Galactica, seeing as he is not a past crew member?
  • Will any of The Circle's members or Zarek face charges, or will they be pardoned by Roslin's government for what they had done?
  • Now that the Cylons seem to have accepted Gaius Baltar, at least begrudgingly, what will happen to him?
  • What happened to those who were left behind on New Caprica?
