Season 2.5 Episode Summaries
"Resurrection Ship, Part 2" (#212):

Backstory:

Lt. Thorne somehow personally saved fifty members of the Pegasus crew.

Cylons:

In response to Adama's question, Sharon suggests that the Cylons may have decided that humanity is flawed and does not deserve to survive.

Something has happened in the time since the Cylons left the Colonies that they have developed a monotheist faith. They have become sure of the judgment that their makers (humanity) are undeserving of survival and that they are worthy of carrying out the annihilation.

The Six models seem to have been built as the perfect seductresses of men: like sex and even sports. Of course, the interest in sports is only known from Baltar's Inner Six and the damaged Gina.

The Cylons have some sense of the group consciousness or perhaps an "always online" connection to the resurrection apparatus, because Gina knew the moment that it had been destroyed.

The "always online" connection would explain how Leoben knew he was out of range. Once he was out of range, the connection/sense was gone and with it, the security of immortality. This "always online" connection could also be how new orders might be transmitted, or sleeper agents are awakened.

Suicide is a sin in Cylon religion.

Notes:

49, 604 survivors

The closed captioning that displayed while Fisk and the Marines line up had Fisk giving them a pep talk about being selected for the difficult assignment, but knowing what they need to do. In the actual episode audio, all that can be heard is ship-wide announcements.

The music heard near the end of the episode is reminiscent of the haunting music of Black Hawk Down.

Unanswered Questions:

What exactly did Lieutenant Thorne do to save fifty of the crew of the Pegasus ?

Fisk seems to indicate that assaulting an officer on the Pegasus has a penalty above what is mandated by the Colonial Regulations. Was there a particular onboard incident that made Cain increase the penalty?

Why does Cain come to like Kara so well so quickly? Does she see herself in Kara? Is this a "good thing" for Kara to earn the admiration of such a ruthless woman?

When will Kara decide to heed Cain's advice about not flinching when the moment comes? And will it have some resulting moral consequences?

What makes the Cylons so sure of themselves that they can judge their makers (humanity) as flawed and deserving of annihilation?

What other male oriented interests do the Six models have beyond sex and sports?

How far will Gina go in becoming attached to Baltar? Will she realize that he's already been involved with another Six copy?

How are the Cylons going to react to the loss of the Resurrection Ship and that security of immortality?

Does Kara know about what Cain did to the civilian ships she found when she makes her remarks at Cain's funeral?

Where did Gina escape to? Did Baltar indeed help her escape?

Is Adama's kiss signaling a budding romantic relationship with Roslin?
