Home, Part II

Overview

Adama leads a mission to Kobol to find President Roslin and her team of tomb-hunters, reconcile with his son, and reunite the divided fleet.

Questions

• How did Adama and the others return from the map of Earth?
  • What exactly was the map of Earth? Were they in the same room in the Tomb of Athena, and a 3D hologram was projected around them?
• Just who or what is the copy of Number Six that Dr. Baltar sees all the time? It is firmly established that she is not some sort of computer chip in his head, but at the same time it is established that she can't possibly be just a hallucination by Baltar's guilt-ridden subconscious mind. Baltar himself has come to the realization that she is aware of actual facts (like that a Cylon copy pregnant with a hybrid child would be brought into the new brig) that his own subconscious couldn't possibly have known of. Six herself simply said that she was sent by "God". Is she truly some form of supernatural force (like Count Iblis in the Original Series)? Repeated medical scans showed no foreign objects in Baltar's mind.
  • Could the Cylons simply have developed an "organic chip" that would be indestinguishable from Baltar's normal brain tissue when scanned? (Cylons do seem to have mastered bio-mechanical engineering)

Notes

• Population is 47,855, a loss of three since Part I. Two of these were seen on-screen in the last episode (Elosha and a Laura Roslin faction redshirt). The other may have happened offscreen in the same ambush.
• This episode may have been titled "The Raid" in its early production.
• The fleet has been reunited, and Commander Adama has restored Laura Roslin to the Presidency.
• The Fleet now has a vague idea of the direction they need to take to find Earth.
• Helo still loves Caprica-Sharon, even though he knows she's a machine.
• Caprica-Sharon's hybrid child is a girl. She claims to just "know" this.
• The child that in visions Six says she is going to be the "mother" of and Baltar is going to be the "father" of is actually Sharon and Helo's biological daughter.
• Caprica-Sharon does not "remember" shooting Commander Adama, and she was unaware that Galactica-Sharon was killed by Cally (she thought she was just in the brig). Sharon thinks of herself as a "person" and not simply "a machine".
• Caprica-Sharon possesses the memories of Galactica-Sharon's two years aboard the Galactica. She "remembers" how exilerating it was to get her wings and how it felt to be a member of the "family" that is the Galactica's crew, and she considers Chief Tyrol a dear friend of sorts, even though she admits she herself has never actually met him. Caprica-Shaorn herself acknowledges that it's weird that she has deep-seated memories of things she's never actually done.
• Caprica-Sharon apparently still believes that there is only "one true God" and that the Colonials "worship false idols".
• Caprica-Sharon flat out says that the Cylons know more about the Colonial religion than the Colonials themselves.
• According to Starbuck's observations, the Cylons have a plan for Caprica; "they're cleaning up the bodies, moving in the heavy machinery to repair the infrastructure..."
• Dr. Baltar has had a medical scan performed on his head, and it appears that there are no "foreign objects", like a metallic computer chip containing a copy of Number Six's mind, within it.
• Baltar has come to the realization that the copy of Number Six he sees cannot be just a hallucination, because she knows things his subconscious mind couldn't possibly know.

Noteworthy Dialogue

• On "Earth":

  Cmdr. Adama: I thought we were in the Tomb of Athena.

  Starbuck: I think that was just the lobby.
