No promo pics
As far as I can tell, no promo pics for this episode were released?? -- FrankieG 20:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- I suspect that there's a reason for this... and it may relate . -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 02:56, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Lock?
Considering on this side of the Atlantic we get the episode 3 days before the US does, what is the procedure going to be for locking this article (and the rest of 4.0)? OTW 21:12, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Lock it a day before the UK airing I guess. -- Serenity 21:13, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
I feel that it'll be determined on a case-by-case basis... If the article is sufficiently developed by Friday, we may just leave it unlocked and see how the server copes. If not, then we lock on Friday and Saturday (till noon-ish). Sound good? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 20:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't see any real need to lock this article on Friday, since it's pretty fleshed out. If it becomes a performance issue, then, we'll lock it. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 05:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Surviour Count
How are we qualifiying the count as going up?
Caprica Six has an unborn baby, which is obviously debatable in terms of counting as a surviour because the baby's parents are both Cylons and it isn't even born, but I digress as that isn't my point.
Either way, a Raptor poliot has been confirmed dead and a Viper pilot has been persumed dead, which at worst cancels the unborn baby in terms of surviours. --Syferus 19:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Children are born within the Fleet. There are a couple of cases where the count just goes up or deaths are offset. In fact it probably doesn't happen often enough. -- Serenity 19:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- "In universe" the teaser ends only a few hours after Guess What's Coming to Dinner? does, so its likely that the "battle of the resurrection hub" hadn't concluded by that point. It's interesting to note they didn't subtract all the abductees though. My guess is that the The Hub will be chronologically concurrent with Sine Qua Non, making our survivor count next week a little confusing. OTW 12:45, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Lance the Cat is not dead
When Romo discovers Lee Adama is the only candidate for the President he is talking to his cat, Lance. He leaves to go confront Lee and he says to the cat, "Lance, defense rests. Come on." In the next scene he claiming Lance was dead for weeks.
If this is true it fits Romo's pattern of manipulation. He used the same pattern during the trial of Balter (the use of the cane). The best explanation is that Romo is using the cat to manipulate Lee.
- The cat is dead, Jim. Lee sees the body of it in the duffel bag. Also, there are several indicators to all of this in the episode; the fact that no one else but Romo sees the pet, Lee almost tripping over an overturned, empty dish... not to mention Lampkin's general depression and ennui. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 03:43, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- This confused me too, but go back and look at those scenes. One of the first scenes, the cat is sitting next to Romo on the bed, and it when it cuts away from Romo the cat is gone. Philwelch 11:18, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Fundamental difference?
There is another possible explanation for Caprica-Six's pregnancy, maybe the love theory is correct, perhaps Cylon have some sort of biological failsafe to prevent them from breeding in the wrong circumstances. -- Gordon Ecker 02:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Incorrect quote
In re "Lampkin: Quandary is, one doesn't generally get the chance to wield political power without the ambition to actively seek it. That same ambition often compromises the unselfish motives that began the quest. In other words, in a battle of it versus ego, that ego rarely wins."
I'm pretty sure it was "ID versus ego." That's how I heard it and it makes alot more sense. Lampkin was talking about repressed desiers ( ID ) beating out our unselfish motives (ego). I didn't record the show, however, so someone who can check may want to edit this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Glaucon (talk • contribs).
- Agreed. It's "id vs. ego". -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 05:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
If / when
"What exactly happened to the rebel baseship and the Resurrection Hub? Did the rebels and Colonials escape when/if their baseship was destroyed?"
Seems its difficult to decide if it is conclusive that the rebel basestar was destroyed or not. IMO I'd go for "if", because although it looks likely, it's not certain (Adama still has hope for one). They'd probably have to have destroyed one of Cavil's basestars if they were to eliminate the Hub. OTW 17:02, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, now that you say it, that seems to be correct. Sorry. To me it initially seemed like the basestar is destroyed for sure. Which is what Tigh thinks. But Adama believes that they survived. So there is some uncertainty. -- Serenity 17:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
More breaks than acts?
Is it my imagination, or did SkyOne throw in more commercial breaks than there are acts in this episode? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 17:35, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Boomer/Athena's song (hum?)
Just wanted to let you guys know that the song Boomer/Athena both hum is a traditional Korean children's song. The title would roughly translate to "The Stream Deep in the Forest." I guess Grace Park picked the song, since she's Korean. Icenerve 17:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)icenerve
- As noted at Flesh and Bone#Notes (at the very end), though the title is given a bit different there. -- Serenity 17:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Where Romo confronted Lee
The article assumes that Romo held Lee at gunpoint in Colonial One. While it was clearly the Colonial One set, the way it was lit, shot, and the added industrial details made it seem to me that it was a redress that was supposed to be Romo's ship. -- David cgc 16:11, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
