Overview
Summary
Part one of a two-part season finale. Copies of Boomer and Six appear within the fleet with a proposal to President Roslin and Admiral Adama; peace. Unfortunately, there is more to their offer than what's on the surface. The terms of this new Cylon armistice demand that the human survivors of the Twelve Colonies renounce their false gods and accept the "one true" faith which the Cylons adhere to. They are to let Cylon missionaries enter the fleet and begin preaching the Cylon faith to humanity, and most shockingly of all, a quota of humans is to be offered up annually to assist in the production of Human-Cylon hybrid children. In spite of the potentially horrific terms, the civilian population of the fleet seems to support the Cylon peace plan, but Roslin and Adama do not. Roslin is determed to strike down the peace accord and calls a referendum vote on the matter. Once again she finds herself reaching out to off-again/on-again rival Tom Zarek for political support. Quantum Leap's Dean Stockwell is rumored to appear in the role of Brother Cavill, a Humano-Cylon preist. Source: The Patriot Resource
Questions
Analysis
- Something to keep in mind is that during the Mini-series, "after Picon was nuked, the president offered a complete unconditional surrender; the Cylon's didn't even respond". What if the Cylons finally accept the surrender which the Colonial government actually already offered? However, this was done by President Adar, before Roslin was sworn in as president; will she consider this previous offer binding to her new administration? Will other characters point out President Adar's already surrendering as an reason to agree to the Cylons terms now?
Notes
- Ron Moore's podcast for episode 13, Epiphanies, states that the Nuke given to Gina will come back in this episode, to the benefit of the Cylons.
Noteworthy Dialogue
Official Statements
- In an interview in issue #197 of TV Zone, James Callis (Dr. Gaius Baltar) said: "the arrival of the Pegasus has helped galvanize our characters into who they are and who they’re trying to be. These later episodes [in Season 2] also further drive home the fact that the Galactica’s crew could be exterminated by its own kind, meaning that Humans are potentially far more terrifying an enemy than perhaps the Cylons."
