Overview

Pursuing the Resurrection Hub at the whim of the Hybrid, a team of Viper pilots and Cylon rebels become uneasy collaborators as they formulate a battle plan to un-box the Threes and destroy Cylon resurrection forever. Meanwhile, Roslin and Baltar try desperately to communicate with the panicking Hybrid and Helo discovers a disturbing characteristic within one of the Eights.

Notes

Analysis

Questions

  • Why would the Cylons have only one Resurrection Hub and the implied inability to build another? Strange and ironic for a computer derived race not to have an ability to backup such crucial data essential to it's survival.
    • Could be they never expected for the hub to ever have a major threat that could destroy it.
  • Are the Cylons capable of building a new Hub, and if so, how long it would it take them?
  • Did Boomer make it off of the Hub before it was blown up?
  • Was there time to resurrect Cavil?

Official Statements

Noteworthy Dialogue

  • Adama reading to Roslin during her vision:
"'Then I dug into the stump and pulled rocks from the ground until my fingers bled. I collected seeds from the few fruits the island offered and planted them in long straight furrows like the ranks of soldiers. When I finished I looked at what I had done. I did not see a garden; I saw a scar. This island had saved my life and I had done it no service.'"
  • Roslin and Adama tenderly greating each other in the Basestar hangerdeck:
Roslin [Embracing Adama]: "I love you."
Adama [Breaking Embrace; looks into her eyes]: "About time."
