Overview

Galactica is stripped of parts, and Adama calls for volunteers for a final mission.[2]

Summary

Teaser

Act 1

Act 2

Act 3

Act 4

Notes

  • This episode is indeed the first part of what is now a three hour series finale[3].
  • We finally learn Cottle's first name: Sherman. Adama calls him by it when telling him he's too valuable for the fleet to lose.

Analysis

  • Cavil plans to use Hera to find out how she was created in order to continue the Cylon species, presumably through normal reproduction
  • Roslin likely feels quite protective of Hera as despite being barley able to walk, she volunteers for the rescue mission.
  • Cottle may be either the best doctor in the fleet or one of the only ones as Adama says he's too valuable for the fleet to lose on the rescue mission.
  • Baltar seems conflicted when volunteers are called, indicating he may want to go and save someone with no gain for himself, indicating he may be finally thinking of someone other then himself and is considering doing something selfless for once.
  • Much of the crew is loyal enough to Adama that they're willing to go on a likely one way mission to rescue someone just because he asked.
