From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Overview
- D'anna Biers, an investigative journalist, makes a critical documentary on Colonel Tigh's conduct during a "Kent State"-like crisis.
Summary
- Caprica Boomer nearly has a miscarriage, but Cottle saves the child
- Roslin and Adama have agreed to bury the hatchet by this episode
Questions
Analysis
Notes
- Population count is now 47,853, a loss of two since Home, Part II, to account for the two Tom Zarek henchmen killed in that episode.
- D'anna Biers makes the same comment about Baltar that Roslin made in 33.
- We finally learn Dualla's first name as she is interviewed by D'anna Biers: Anastasia.
- Gaeta's first name is revealed as Felix. He also showed a wild side in the form of a tattoo on his chest he got when he was drunk. He's also taken up smoking. Perhaps this isn't so much a sign of a previously unrevealed wild side, but a sign that Gaeta's composure is starting to get frayed from constant stress.
- The ECO known as Racetrack has a full name: Margaret Edmondson.
- The music aired at the end of the documentary is the Colonial Fanfare last heard in the Mini Series: the theme from the original "Battlestar Galactica" TV series. In the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, it is apparently the "national anthem" of the Twelve Colonies.
- Adama uses the phrase "warts and all." This was invented by 17th-Century English dictator Oliver Cromwell.
Noteworthy Dialogue
- After meeting Dr. Gaius Baltar for the first time:
- D'anna Biers: What a strange little man.
- D'anna Biers is filming an interview with Apollo:
- D'anna Biers: You seem to think that your pilots deserve special consideration.
- Apollo: Actually, I do. Like everyone else, my pilots have lost their families, their friends, everyone they ever cared about; but on top of that their asked to put their lives on the line every single day, for a fleet that seems more interested in what they do wrong than in what they do right. They're not asking for your pity, but they damn well deserve your respect.
