The Cylons have begun a brutal crackdown on New Caprica's nascent human Resistance movement. With time running out for the colonists, Admiral Adama must launch his rescue attempt earlier than he'd expected. But though he expected a fight from the Cylons, he is unprepared for the one he gets from his son, Lee, who refuses to let the battlestar Pegasus join the Galactica's suicidal attack.

Yes, I believe that the rebellion has either killed all the cylons that were going to kill the prisoners... or that was other guns we heard being fired, in another location (though close). Roslin isn't dead.

Okay... seeing Tigh without the patch over his lost eye... EEW!! But, it looked damn real.
I'm glad that Tyrel got the list of the people on the list. And an hour before the truck showed up at that point. That's the only reason why they weren't killed. Loved seeing the cylons taken out... and that Sam realized that Ellen was the one who "sold them out" because of his map, with the plans. I hope that she's beat to death. Skank ho bag.
Starbuck and that damn half breed kid...
D'Anna (Number three) in the tent with that spiritual woman. I believe that she's going to be questioning everything about her beliefs.
Adama is in BIG trouble when Sharon and Helo find that Hera IS still alive. She's gonna go all cylon on his ass, I have a feeling.
It was an ok episode... but, it looks like next week will be a lot better. I'm ready for some action.

To the Cylons' dismay, the humans have anticipated their latest deadly plans. At her rendezvous with Anders and his team of insurgents, Sharon Agathon predicts the Cylons' ambush and plants one of her own instead; her people kill the Cylons as soon as they attack.
Similarly, Tyrol gets wind of the Cylons' plan to execute hundreds of insurgents, including his wife, Cally. With a small team he attacks just as the firing squad is set to begin. His people kill the Cylons and free the prisoners, including Cally, Laura Roslin, and Tom Zarek. These successes, coupled with the news that the Galactica is standing by for a rescue mission, bring new hope to the beleaguered humans.
Still, uncertainty reigns among humans and Cylons alike. Gaius Baltar wrestles with personal and political impotence while his Cylon overlords, realizing that they might never be able to control the humans, debate whether they should destroy the troublesome colony with a nuclear weapon.
Meanwhile, the insurgents discover Ellen Tigh's complicity with the Cylons; Kara Thrace comes to terms with her new role as mother of baby Kacey; and the usually self-possessed Cylon D'Anna succumbs to a series of bizarre dreams about the precious human-Cylon baby, Hera. These dreams inspire D'Anna to believe that the child, contrary to everything she has heard, is still alive, and she becomes determined to find her.
The Galactica resonates with personal and formal good-byes as the ship and Admiral Adama launch their dangerous rescue mission to New Caprica, leaving behind Lee Adama, the Pegasus, and the civilian fleet. Lee and his father hope to meet at a rendezvous point in eighteen hours to celebrate the mission's success. But they are also painfully aware that they might never see each other again.
As the insurgents plan a massive assault to coordinate with the Galactica's arrival, Roslin makes special preparations to ensure that Hera and her adoptive mother, Maya, will be escorted to safety when the evacuation begins. Meanwhile, Sharon steels herself for an essential mission: to go undercover among her fellow Cylons and retrieve all the launch keys to the Colonial ships that are grounded on New Caprica. Without the keys, the ships can't take off and carry evacuated humans to safety when the Galactica attacks. The Galactica's crew and the resistance fighters on New Caprica, poised to strike, can do nothing but wait and hope for her success….

I thought it was funny how Dean Stockwell, who is the cruelest of them, was whining about dying on the road. And it is better that Xena is starting to show some emotion, rather than be so cold inside. She is a good actress.
Also neat is we are starting to see major division in the Cylon ranks, they are blaming it on the humans, but even they must see that they made themselves too human, and they are not the beings of peace and logic that they were at first.
I don't know, I think the set up for the Pegasus to pull a Han Solo with the death star deal here, is the route they are taking. I will be a lot more surprised next week if the Pegasus sticks to plan and does not show up.
Yeah, I would be surprised if he doesn't show up, like you're saying. But, I guess that we will see. How do you think the fleet will view their Commander Apollo for this decision?
I've always known that Lucy Lawless is a great actress. And you're right.. she plays this part, of D'Anna Biers, quite well. She's showing a lot of different emotions, etc...
Dean Stockwell has always made me laugh... and it was no exception when he was whining about death on the road.
