Overview

The Cylons are bitterly divided over how to deal with the Cylon Raiders, who refuse to attack the Colonial Fleet because of the recent detection of the Final Five within said Fleet. Meanwhile, Admiral Adama and crew send Lee Adama off into his new life as a member of the Quorum of Twelve, and Adama has to deal with the possibility that Kara Thrace may very well be right about her knowing how to get to Earth.

Notes

The episode title is possibly a play on a common idiom "Six of one, half a dozen of the other", indicating equivalence.
This is the first appearance of Natalie, a Number Six who is the leader of a faction advocating a search for the Final Five.
This episode reveals three model numbers: the Cavils are Number Ones, the Leoben Conoys are Number Twos, and the Simons are Number Fours.
Interestingly enough, all the numbers for the Significant Seven are consecutive, until they reach Number Eight. Thus Number Seven, and Numbers Nine through Twelve are not revealed.
Raiders are capable of independent thought, unlike Centurions, whose higher brain functions are prevented by an telencephalic inhibitor that Natalie and her supporters remove from the Centurions after the vote turns against them.
According to Cavil, there are millions of copies of each Cylon model.
The picture Roslin shoots was taken at the ceremony to award Adama the Medal of Distinction in the episode "Hero".

Analysis

Questions

Is the Virtual Baltar that Gaius Baltar sees the same as Caprica-Six's Virtual Baltar?
Now that the telencephalic inhibitors have been removed from the Centurions, and they've attacked three of the Significant Seven, will they turn on the rest of their Cylon masters?
Will Kara Thrace truly lead the Demetrius to Earth?
Other than Karl Agathon, who else will be accompanying Thrace on Demetrius?
What will occur when Number One, as well as the two Fours and Fives, resurrect?
Will Tory Foster fall under Baltar's spell?
Why was Foster crying during intercourse with Baltar?
Why do the Raiders not want to destroy the Final Five, yet Number Ones, Fours, and Fives do?
Which of the remaining Cylon model numbers belong to which members of the Final Five?
