Questions
- Will Baltar's book help his image among the working class of the Fleet in his upcoming trial?
- How will people respond to his comments about Adama, considering that he freed the entire fleet from New Caprica and the Cylon reign?
- Is it possible that Tom Zarek somehow assisted Baltar in the writing and distribution of his book?
- Has the Fleet's tylium reserve been re-stocked at all since The Hand of God?
Analysis
Notes
- A number of main characters were not present at all during this episode: Lee Adama, Sharon Agathon, Karl Agathon, Saul Tigh, Felix Gaeta, and Anastasia Dualla.
- According to Bradley Thompson, this episode was originally a different story titled "Our Enemies, Ourselves". When developing "The Woman King", it was felt that both episodes dealt with the same themes. As a result, "Dirty Hands" was created instead.
- The 79th Oscars were shown during the episode. The ratings should be taken lightly.
Noteworthy Dialogue
Official Statements
Jane Espenson, in an interview with tvsquad.com, made the following remark: "The episode, co-written with Anne Cofell Saunders, is called 'Dirty Hands,' and as you might guess, it's a look at the people who do the dirty work in the fleet. Knuckle-dragging fun!" [1]
