Overview

Lead by Number Three, the band of rebel Cylons hold President Roslin and Galactica's pilots hostage while attempting to lure the "Watchtower Four" out of hiding. Meanwhile, Kara Thrace's Viper may hold a previously undiscovered clue to finding Earth.

Summary

Notes

• This episode is the mid-season cliffhanger for the first ten episodes of Season 4. The conclusion to the cliffhanger, "Sometimes a Great Notion", will not air until 2009.
• The episode was given an advance screening in Los Angeles on Wednesday, June 11th, in order to draw attention for the upcoming Emmy Award nominations.

Analysis

• How Earth came to the state which the fleet found it in is uncertain. It is possible that the Number 1's, 2's and 3's found it earlier and destroyed it. But, due to the actions taken by the Landing Party (scanning the soil, etc.) as well as the similarity of the ruins to a post-nuclear blast, it is likely that the original inhabitants destroyed themselves through nuclear war; this would supposedly answer the question of what time period the show is placed in, suggest it takes place in the near future.

Questions

• Is Number Three honest in her claim that there are only four of the Final Five in the Fleet? If so, where is the fifth and last Cylon? If she's lying, is it because she still harbors distrust for her compatriots and the humans?
• What of the other Twos, Fours, and Fives?
• What happened to Earth?
• Will the other Cylons find the Fleet and the rebels, as well as Earth? If so, will they finish what they started?
