"The Face of the Enemy" webisode series focuses on Felix Gaeta, who is accompanied by a handful of humans and two Number Eights on a Raptor, during which they mysteriously begin to die, one by one. The events of this story take place between six and nine days after "Revelations".

Summary

Episode 1

  • Release date: December 12, 2008
  • Running time: ~4:11

The webisode begins with a blood-covered Felix Gaeta in a Raptor adrift in space, nine days after the events of "Revelations". Flashbacks of a list of names being written on a pad, a Number Eight cutting into her palm, a pair of needle-nose pliers, and a struggle inside the Raptor segue to three days before (six days after "Revelations").

Over his protests, an exhausted Gaeta is ordered by Colonel Saul Tigh to take a week's leave aboard the Zephyr to recover. On his way to the hangar bay, Hoshi catches up with him in the hallway, gives him morpha for his pain, then kiss him goodbye, evincing a romantic relationship. Joining Gaeta on the flight are deckhand Brooks, two Number Eights, and the Raptor shuttle flight crew, Lt. J. "Shark" Finnegan, and "Easy" Esrin.

With the Raptor 15 minutes away from the Zephyr, DRADIS picks up hostile Cylon contacts and the Fleet is forced to make an emergency jump. The Raptor completes its jump, but discovers the Fleet is nowhere to be seen.

Notes

  • Felix Gaeta has a metal leg replacement.
  • The two Number Eights are nicknamed "Sweet Eight" and "Pilot Eight" in the commentary by Jane Espenson. "Pilot Eight" is in a Cylon flightsuit.

Analysis

  • The fleet has left the devastated planet Earth they found in "Revelations" and is again on the run from the hostile faction of Cylons.
  • The rebel Cylon Basestar is still with the fleet.
  • Saul Tigh has returned to duty.
  • It does not appear to be an unusual occurrence for there to be Number Eights on-board the Galactica, or for them to be taking a Raptor ride to the Zephyr.
