Summary[edit]

FINAL ISSUE!!! The origin of Lt. Starbuck concludes, told by #1 New York Times best-selling author Tony Lee! On an ice world in the middle of Cylon space, Starbuck and Apollo race to free Athena before Osiris can use her in his vendetta against Adama - but are they too late to save the colonies from Cylon invasion?[1]

Plot[edit]

As with the previous two installments, this issue is set entirely two yahrens before the attack at Cimtar.

Notes[edit]

Nods[edit]

Errata[edit]

Analysis[edit]

  • The treasonous motives of both Osiris and Diana are not in any way fleshed out, in keeping with the tradition of established story telling in the series proper. There is a vague insinuation of power acquisition, and perhaps it could be argued that the Cylons also agreed to spare Osiris' colony of Aeries (assuming that the Cylons gave them the same deal as the one they gave Baltar), but this is paper-thin as motivation.

Questions[edit]

  • Why would anyone betray their homeworlds to the Cylons?

Noteworthy Dialogue[edit]

  • Apollo engages the Cylons outside of the tylium mine:
    Starbuck: What the frack are you doing?
    Apollo: Taking a leaf out of your book! Leaping in with both feet!
    Starbuck: That's with girls! Apollo—That's with girls! Not Cylons!
