Mark here... bam! This episode is the season finale and leaves on quite a cliffhanger. Spoiler alert for anyone who doesn't know...we're about to talk about some revealing moments!
The episode picks up where the last left off and there's a crew stranded on Kobol with the Cylon basestar above. Back on Galactica, the plan is to infiltrate the basestar using a Cylon device Lt. Gaeta crafted from the captured Cylon Raider. The device allows Cylon Sharon to get onboard the basestar to deliver a nuclear weapon. But while onboard she encounters several versions of herself...
Meanwhile on the fleet a civil war is happening after Roslin's decision to send Starbuck back to Caprica. Adama sends troops to invade Colonial One and arrest Roslin. Apollo backs the President and they both end up arrested to avoid bloodshed. Starbucks mission on Caprica ends up with her fighting with another Cylon Six over the Arrow of Apollo. She's rescued by Helo only to recognize the Caprica Sharon...
On Galactica, Adama is congratulating that version of Sharon on successfully destroying the basestar...only to have her pull out a gun and shoot him in the chest! End of episode and a perfect cliffhanger...leaving you wanting more! and not knowing what will happen to Adama? Roslin in the bring? Starbuck and Helo on Caprica? and the crew members left on Kobol?
Laurel here..nothing much to add except OMG! Sharon shoots Adama?!?! I thought when Sharon encountered, like, 27 versions of herself it was going to increase her resolve to reject her Cylon side and commit completely to the humans but then she shoots her human leader?!? It makes me wonder whether this was the Cylon plan all along, or if she has a change of heart when it is confirmed for her that she is in fact a Cylon. Then maybe turning against the human race seems and inevitable conclusion for her as an individual?
I also think it's awesome that Apollo goes against command in order to defend the President. Earlier in the episode Adama tells him that he needs to follow his instincts, which he sites as his reason for his personal mutiny against the military.
OMG what a cliff hanger!! It's going to be really hard to wait until we cycle through the rest of the 1st seasons of shows we want to do before we finally get into season 2 of Galactica to find out what happens!
