Overview

Pursuing the Resurrection Hub at the whim of the Hybrid, a team of Viper pilots and Cylon rebels become uneasy collaborators as they formulate a battle plan to un-box the Threes and destroy Cylon resurrection forever. Meanwhile, Roslin and Baltar try desperately to communicate with the panicking Hybrid and Helo discovers a disturbing characteristic within one of the Eights.

Summary

Questions

• Why would the Cylons have only one Resurrection Hub and the implied inability to build another? Strange and ironic for a computer derived race not to have an ability to backup such crucial data essential to it's survival.
  • Could be they never expected for the hub to ever have a major threat that could destroy it.
• Are the Cylons capable of building a new Hub, and if so, how long it would it take them?
• Did Boomer make it off of the Hub before it was blown up?
• Was there time to resurrect Cavil?

Noteworthy Dialogue

• Adama reading to Roslin during her vision:

"'Then I dug into the stump and pulled rocks from the ground until my fingers bled. I collected seeds from the few fruits the island offered and planted them in long straight furrows like the ranks of soldiers. When I finished I looked at what I had done. I did not see a garden; I saw a scar. This island had saved my life and I had done it no service.'"

• Roslin and Adama tenderly greating each other in the Basestar hangerdeck:

Roslin [Embracing Adama]: "I love you."

Adama [Breaking Embrace; looks into her eyes]: "About time."
