Summary

Questions

What has transpired on the baseship Gaius Baltar is currently residing upon?
What will occur now that Kara Thrace and Lee Adama have begun to mend fences?
What will be the fallout, if any, in Thrace's and Adama's current marriages?
Now that Adama admits to letting the crew get too close to him, will he be harder and stricter on his crew?
What were Adama and Roslin smoking?
Why DID everyone think New Caprica was safe from Cylons? Just because it was near a nebula? Didn't Adama know a cylon detonated the nuclear bomb that blew up Cloud Nine? Why weren't any of these characters sitting around going "you know it's just a matter of time till they find us"?

Analysis

Notes

According to Grace Park in an interview with IGN.com, "Unfinished Business" is an episode that is mostly composed of flashbacks to events that happened during the one year ahead jump foward that happened at the end of season 2. Ron Moore also said in the podcast for "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II" that there would be flashbacks revealing some of these events: they might be interspersed in several other episodes as well, but Park confirmed that this particular episode dealt almost entirely with various flashbacks to things that happened during the year that was skipped over.
At a convention appearance, Jamie Bamber said that we would find out in flashbacks in this episode what happened between Apollo and Starbuck during the skipped year that caused a rift between them. He discussed the boxing scene in which Apollo and Starbuck beat the hell out of each other in the final act.
