Episode Notes
 
Survivor count: 39,643
 
This episode was originally to be directed by Kevin Smith, best known as the writer/director of the comedic View Askew films. However, due to a series of mis-communications, the episode wound up being double-booked along with John Dahl who ultimately got the job.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Tigh: Lee's giving the Quorum a shove, but it'd take a cavity search to find the backbone in that sorry bunch.
 
(a marine puts a gun to Lee's head)
Connor: So where are your precious Cylons now?
(the marine is shot from behind; his body drops to reveal Kara, gun in hand)
Kara: (to the other mutineers) Take it from someone who died once, it's no fun. Let him go.
Skulls: Frak you.
(Kara shoots him in the shoulder)
Kara: I could do this all day. Who's next?
 
Adama: You killed this boy.
Gaeta: Admiral Adama, I am removing you from command of this ship. I am taking you into custody on the charge of treason.
Adama: You swore an oath when you put that uniform on. You pledged to defend this ship and her crew.
Gaeta: You swore the same allegance. What happened to your oath? For seven years, I have done my frakking job and for what? To take orders from a Cylon? To let machines network our ship? No, you - you are not the leader that you were when we started. You're just a sad old man that has let his heart and his affection for a Cylon cloud his judgment.
Adama: I want you all to understand this! If you do this, there will be no forgiveness. No amnesty. This boy died honouring his uniform. You, you'll die with nothing.
