Overview[edit]
- 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.

Act 4[edit]
Notes[edit]
- Number Two/Leoben Conoy is notably absent from a speaking role in the episode, appearing only when the hybrid is plugged back in at the beginning of the episode, and only Sixes and Eights are among the Cylons fighting in the battle. Since actor Callum Keith Rennie is credited for the episode, it is likely that additional scenes with him were shot but cut.
Analysis[edit]
- Baltar, now having found a way to absolve all guilt for any action, takes his scheming to a new extremes while attempting to make an ally out of the Centurions.
- The dichotomy of experienced time when performing an FTL jump (it happens both instantaneously and is drawn out for what seems to be a long time) appears to be yet another avenue for the Lords of Kobol to interact with humans. Other examples are dreams, a hypnotic state, and between death and resurrection.
Questions[edit]
- Why do the Cylons have only one Resurrection Hub and the implied inability to build another?
- Are the Cylons capable of building a new Hub, and if so, how long it would it take them?
- Does Boomer make it off of the Hub before it is destroyed?
- Is there time to resurrect Cavil?
- Where are the Number Twos during all these events?
- How many other Eights have accessed Athena's memories, and how will this affect her relationship with Karl Agathon?
- What will happen to the rebel cylons and their baseship after the Hub is destroyed?
Official Statements[edit]
Noteworthy Dialogue[edit]
- 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 greeting each other in the Basestar hangar deck:
- Roslin [Embracing Adama]: "I love you."
- Adama [Breaking the embrace; looks into her eyes]: "About time."
