Overview

Felix Gaeta's mutiny continues while Roslin finds refuge on the Cylon Basestar.

Summary

Notes

• The Quorum of Twelve were murdered on Zarek's order for supporting President Roslin. Lee Adama survived as he wasn't present during the Quorum session. Two other regular Quorum members (Gemenon Delegate and one other delegate) were replaced by temporary stand-ins (who were killed), and their fate is unknown.
• This episode marks the death of Felix Gaeta and Tom Zarek who are executed by firing squad for their mutiny against Adama and the government.

Questions

• What will be the fate of the other mutineers (Racetrack, Narcho, Seelix, etc)?
• Will Kelly be allowed to resume his duties on Galactica?
• Who will replace Zarek as Vice President?
• Who will take over Gaeta's duties?
• What repercussions will the Quorum's assassination have on the Fleet?
• What is the significance of the damage Tyrol discovers in the engine room? How long has it been there?
• Will Anders survive his injuries?
• Will the rebel Cylons become less trusting of the humans as a result of this mutiny?
• Did Baltar really understand who Gaeta was as he claimed he did?
• What was that device Roslin and Leoben were using to communicate with the rest of the Fleet?
• Why was Lee Adama - as opposed to Roslin - present at Zarek and Gaeta's execution?

Official Statements

• A Chicago Tribune interview with Michael Angeli about the episode:
• The Six that sleeps with Baltar on the baseship is named Lida.
