Notes
- The episode title is possibly a play on a common idiom "Six of one, half a dozen of the other", indicating equivalence.
- This is the first appearance of Natalie, a Number Six who is the leader of the faction advocating a search for the Final Five.
- This episode reveals three model numbers: the Cavils are Number Ones, the Leoben Conoys are Number Twos, and the Simons are Number Fours.
- Interestingly enough, all the numbers for the Significant Seven are consecutive, until they reach Number Eight. Thus Number Seven, and Numbers Nine through Twelve are not revealed.
- Raiders are capable of independent thought, unlike Centurions, whose higher brain functions are prevented by an inhibitor that Natalie and her supporters remove from the Centurions after the vote turns against them.
Analysis
Questions
- Is the Virtual Baltar that Gaius Baltar sees is the same as Caprica-Six's Virtual Baltar?
- Now that the inhibitors have been removed from the Centurions, and they've attacked three of the Significant Seven, will they turn on the rest of their Cylon masters?
- Will Kara Thrace truly lead Demetrius to Earth?
- Other than Karl Agathon, who else will be accompanying Thrace on Demetrius?
- What will become of the lobotomized Raiders?
- What will occur when Number One, as well as the two Fours and Fives, resurrect?
- Will Tory Foster fall under Gaius Baltar's spell?
- Why was Foster crying during intercourse with Baltar?
