Welcome to Spacing Out with BB and Jason this week covering Battlestar Galacticas season four
episode nineteen Daybreak, Part one. Yeah, welcome back. I'm BB and
I'm Jason, and this is Spacing Out or today we will be discussing Battlestar
Galactica. And if you're new to the show, welcome and you've reached this
almost at the end. We usually have a spoiler section at the end,
but I think now we're just going to forego that since we're at the finale,
even though there is one more episode we're going to watch. So this
episode is Battlestar Galactica season four, episode nineteen Daybreak, Part one, and
this originally aired on March thirteenth, two thousand and nine. Written by Ronald
D. Moore, directed by Michael Rimer, which, by the way,
that's the same team that wrote the pilot, the mini series, and the
survivor count in this episode is thirty nine five and sixteen, just down five
from last week. In this episode, flashbacks show the lives of several characters
prior to the Silent attack on the Colonies. Roslyn loses their family to a
drunk driving accident. Leah Dama meets karath Race for the first time, Andrews
is interviewed during his sporting career in Baltar's relationship with his father and with Kaprica
six is explored. Present day Galactica is being stripped for parts while the military
prepares it transferred to the Bay Star, and then Adama, through Anders learns
the location of the colony in Hara, so he asks for volunteers to go
on I rescue mission to save Hara, who cavils having studied for reproduction purposes.
Ew It is likely to be a final one way mission for the Galactica.
Vibe check. Did we like the episode overall? How does it stand
the test of time? All? Right, we're here, We're at the
finale. It's happening. Could you imagine this when we started? I didn't
think we get I didn't think we were gonna get all the way through.
We still have one more episode, so we're still not there yet. Yeah,
and this next episode is going to be two episodes to get back to
back, so it's going to be the longest episode that we've watched so far.
Yeah. Well, besides that movie, Yeah, the the mini series
was I think that way too. Yeah, but yeah, I liked this
episode. It's like a great just deposition of where we were and how the
lives of some of the key members of this crew where they started and now
where they're at. I liked it. It was interesting. Yeah. I've
actually I've never watched it in this way because I've always watched the extended of
all three parts together as kind of like one long movie. So I didn't
know how this was gonna feel because it is mostly like flashbacks and this giving
us backstory and kind of comparing to present day and not a whole lot happens
in present day. No. I mean that the scene at the end with
them drawing the line and choosing sides was really good. I think that really
helped the episode have something going for it, Yeah, because otherwise it would
have just been a lot of evacuation. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I
think it's setting us up for the next parts, and that's cool. I
like setup. I like that we're moving forward and that we're we're engaging in
more plot. But yeah, I like this episode, and then we can
get more into it in the deep dive or whatever we call it. Well,
let's learn a little bit of trivia. Trivia time. What facts could
we uncover for Daybreak Part one? As I mentioned, the DVD and Blu
Ray releases of the series contain a version of the finale that is all three
parts of the finale edited together, and it contains about eleven minutes of extra
footage, so we are going to miss out on that. Ronald D.
Moore said, this was the intended version of the finale, but the network
would not go for a three hour finale, so that's why they lopped off
this first part. Some of the extra scenes. Well, one extra scene
I guess that was cut from this part one of the episode would be there's
a flashback scene of Boomer and Hilo and Tyrol. Dang, that would have
been cool. Yeah, And my understanding was that was actually a like unused
scene from the first season. They were saying something in the commentary about how
because Tyrol has gained weight, like they couldn't really go back and shoot flashbacks
with him. He gained weight. Yeah, he was quite a bit skinnier
in the beginning of the show. We don't notice that. I didn't notice
he gained weight. That's so rude. They're like, he's too fat,
so we can't do flashbacks. I don't think they were rude about it.
They were just like, it's not going to match. It's about the story,
not about the aesthetic. Bro rude. Well, the flashback sequences or
were originally intercut throughout the episode, but then post production they were rearranged to
be chronological at the beginning of the episode, and many of the flashbacks were
pulled from the show Bible that Ronald D. Moore had written at the beginning
of the series, including details about Roslin losing her family to a drunk driving
accident. You don't know what the show Bible is. That's like the source
of truth for all the information about the series of characters, all their backstory.
Well okay, so like even though they don't necessarily show some of this
stuff on screen, like they have the like this was Roslin's story line,
their motivations and shit like that. Yeah, and then they add to it
at the show. So if someone mentions like, oh, I have a
brother who's a firefighter, just in an off han comment like that's now cannon
and that's written down. So if a brother ever comes up again, like
they know that information. Ah, okay, that's interesting. I didn't know
they called it a show bible. Yep, so every show has one mostly,
Yeah, I would think so, at least for like dram and stuff.
I know comedies might, but sometimes comedies are pretty loose with the details.
Yeah, Anders flashback in the bathtub was shot in the gem of the
production office. To them being out of money for locations, They've chose to
put them in the bathtub too. That was so weird. I thought that
was funny because all his scenes now are in that tub water. Yeah,
and like the actor like finally gets to act do some normal lines and stuff,
and they still put them in a tub. He's gonna get so wrinkly.
That's all I got for trivia. For part one, Deep Space Dive,
Let's break down some of our thoughts on the episode. You can share
your thoughts with us through email or social media. We may use your comments
on an upcoming episode. Let's dive into these flashbacks. I guess there was
no cold open on this episode. We went straight from the recap into the
title sequence, and then we went into Caprica City for the fall. Yeah.
They have a lot of green space. Yeah. I was like pleasantly
surprised that there was so much greenery in a city. I guess I live
in a city that's mostly parking lots, so it's nice to see that there's
like some sort of like urban development that happened with intentionality to the public.
Yeah, it looks nice. I mean Caprica City is supposed to be like
the main like the center of their government and everything. Like, it's probably
a well planned city. Yeah, hopefully. So we see a Dama.
He's in a job interview and he does not want to undergo a lie detector
test. Is that what it was? It wasn't very clear what they were
asking him to do. He's like, it's just an hour of your time.
I thought it was that he had to be at the Galactica for the
opening, like, oh, look at this ancient ship. I'm pretending to
be captain. No, I think this is like a this is a few
years before the start of the series. Oh I didn't What did the title
card say? I thought it said six months. No, it just said
before the fall. Oh so yeah, because like we see Lee and Kara
meeting for the first time. I think they they'll know each other for a
while before. Yeah. Yeah, Adama was about to get a desk job
as a civilian and then he backs out of it doesn't feel like he's being
respected. I guess people don't want to work these days. I think the
most interesting flashbacks was with Baltar and Number six and his father. Yeah,
I really, I really liked that, the juxtaposition of him, you know,
drinking and being in a limo with the sexy lady and then being interrupted
by this mysterious phone call and we don't know who it's from initially, and
I think maybe I personally thought it was maybe like some science business yeah,
yeah, And they cut to him coming into this home that doesn't look like
his home because it's like average, it's not like super modern and rich.
Yeah. And then there's like a bunch of newspapers and stuff, and then
there's this old man and this nurse and she apparently got stabbed by him,
which for me, it seems like a bad job for her because they should
have childlocks, and they should have all of the sharp things in a place
where he can't get to them, like period, Like this should have never
happened. And that's like a deficit on her for not providing a safe environment
for somebody who requires care. It's not her, it's not his fault that
he acted on instinct because he obviously has some mental deficiencies. So she's not
doing her job by not by not provide a safe environment for herself and for
the person that she's taking care of, because he very well could have hurt
himself with that knife instead of her. So that was that was a no
no. There should be like a luck on the kitchen. There should be
some sort of barrier so that he doesn't have access to knives, and he
shouldn't be touching knives. If there's something that needs to be cut, you
cut it beforehand and you prepare it for him so that all he has maybe
a fork maybe, motherfucker, if you're stabbing bitches, you only get spoons
in my house. I just felt like that wasn't a no no on him.
He was like, you know, people with dementia do things that are
not logical. They're logical to them in their mind, but it's not logical
to hurt somebody, right, But yeah, so you have to prepare yourself
and you have to create an environment where that is not possible. What is
she doing? How did he even get a knife? She is not doing
her job and the fact that she was mad, fucking crazy. I would
have been like, I would have obviously been like, hey, you know,
we had an incident at work today and unfortunately, you know, I
fucked up, and I need to go to the hospital to get some stitches
and maybe a tetanus shot. I can find some a replacement because I'm sure
they're working with an agency that provided her services. So like I was just
like, I don't understand why this bitch is being such a bitch. Yeah,
it seems like that was like the last straw for her, But I
don't know, like, you know what line of work you're in, Like,
this isn't this is a normal monday. I don't think he's like that
unusual of a patient to have. No, he seemed cognitive enough. He
just seems suspicious. And so again, you create an environment that is safe
for both of you. You monitor him. You don't leave him alone enough
time for him to run to the kitchen and grab a knife and then stab
you. That's stupid, that's not what you're doing. That's not your job
to leave somebody alone long enough to find a weapon to hurt you with.
They're supposed to be under constant supervision. That's what you're getting paid for.
I was upset with her, and I feel like Guias was obviously very upset
because he had like an important function he was trying to attend, and now
nobody was there to take care of his dad, so he had a miss
on like a fancy date with his fancy escort or whatever. I don't know
how he gets women, It's not clear. It seems like he's paying them
somehow. I don't know why. It just feels like he's paying for these
women's time in some way or yeah and so, and then I was so
freaked out when Guyas goes up to his dad and starts smacking him with a
newspaper, like that is so unnecessary, that is elder abuse. I was
more upset about that than the dad stabbing the nurse. I was so upset,
and I'm like, that is not how you treat your father. But
I guess this was like showing that Guias is obviously like very resentful to his
father for some reason, and his dad illustrates the point that you know,
Guias is ashamed of his background and that he's changed his accent and that he
doesn't acknowledge where he comes from and all this stuff that is probably true because
Guias never talks about his upbringing like at all. Yeah, I think there
is when he was in prison awaiting trial, I think he does bring up
that he comes from like a farming family. And I think the fact that
he changed his accent came up as well because he wanted to seem more sophisticated.
Yeah, because he was trying to relate more to the common man during
those times. Oh yeah, because he was trial. He's like, I
am a common man. I'm just deeply ashamed of it. He's like,
yeah, he comes from like a poor community and he's trying to pass his
Kaeperkin. Yeah. I think he's doing a good job. But as he's
having this very like private, like very personal interaction with the nurse and his
father, it's like a very deeply family affair, his escort is there just
watching and she's like, guys, that's your dad, And he's like,
bitch, this is none of your business. I told you to stay in
the car. And I feel like he's kind of right. I don't even
know your name and you're putting your nose in my business. Get the fuck
out of here. I handle my shit the way I want to handle it.
But then later in the show, she comes up to him, well,
no, she's in his fucking house, and she gives them a pamphlet
of where they can send her the dad. Well, where she already sent
his dad, which she has no authority to do. I don't know how
you do that in a modern society. I don't think a stranger should be
able to select a person and put them in a care home. I don't
think a stranger should be allowed to take an elderly person out of their home
without their because the thing is like a person with dementia. If you're kind
enough and you're able to persuade them, if you're if you if you don't
have like a certain aura about you that makes them feel unthreatened, they're going
to follow you. They're going to say, okay, yeah, especially if
she leads with your son told me that I could help you, and you
remember me, I was here yesterday, and let's take you here, Like
that's totally illegal, or it should be. And I didn't realize she had
already sent him there. Yeah, he said, like they were setting up
his room just like it is at the house, And oh, yeah,
I don't like that. I would hate that. I'd be like, you
have no power, no authority. You could have texted me. You could
have texted me, you could have told me, hey girl, like or
hey, g you know, do you want to meet me at your dad's
house so we can get him set up at this place and then send me
a link to the website. And if it's it's probably just as expensive to
hire an in home care assistant. But it's probably not a bad idea.
Honestly, it's not a bad idea, but the execution was really sketch.
Yeah, So I'm not entirely sure if Number six is doing this out of
like genuine care for guyas and his father, or if it's just part of
her tactic to get closer to him to get those defense codes that he gives
there. Eventually it could be bo yeah, because she doesn't play it as
being devious. She's portrayed as being very since here. Yeah, but with
like poor execution still in my opinion, like, I don't want you taking
my father out of his home without my permission. I'm sure there's got to
be like some sort of paperwork that I'm responsible to sign in order for this
to happen. How did you even pay? The first month got to be
a minimum of three thousand dollars to take somebody into a care home. That's
a minimum a month, three thousand a month. Where did she get the
cash to put him in there? Just got that Sylon make account. I
guess they're like, you have the credit card, use it wisely. She's
like, I'm getting this old man a garden. He's got a view and
everything. Second floor walk up. No, they probably have elevators, but
yeah, I don't know. It's interesting. I would be very suspicious personally
if somebody came into my house without having a key or permission, taking my
father out of his home and putting him into an institution that I don't know.
This brochure, he can make a brochure, but yeah, I would
be very suspicious. I wouldn't be like, oh, yeah, this is
a great I love that. Plus, I have a lady who just like
barked at me or something. I don't remember what she did. She I
don't know what that was. It was like a sexy bite thing and I'm
like, she's in the bedroom waiting for me. So I don't, I
don't know you, I don't, I don't like, trust you, and
I don't know how to deal with this right now, because obviously I'm horny.
I don't know this situation. I wouldn't know how to handle it personally.
I would be very cross though. Well, I mean he is at
first, but then we get the sense so like this is going to be
a huge weight lifted off of him. Yeah, I don't know how he
hadn't thought of it before to put him in assisted living. Oh maybe Dad
was like, I ain't going nowhere. I'm staying in my house. No
one can take me out of my house because that happens a lot, That
happens so much. Or maybe he just didn't think there would be the quality
of care of these facilities. I mean, sometimes there isn't. That's why
I wouldn't trust somebody with a brochure. I'd want to personally go in and
not only go in during visiting hours, but pop in randomly and be like,
hey, I'm just checking to see what's going on. And if I
see a lot of seniors with diapers on just sitting in a row, I'm
out. I'm out. I want there to be activities, I want there
to be recreation. I want there to be like some sort of community,
and I would need to see that in person, because again, anyone can
print a brochure and be like, oh, yeah, we offer all these
great things, all right. I know some of these flashbacks are going to
roll onto the next episode. I don't remember if this one does or not.
Well. I liked Laura's flashback with her sisters. Yeah, so we
see some of her family there with her two sisters, and we see her
dad in a photo, and then tragedy strikes. Yeah so I didn't know
her family died in a car accident with a drunk driver. I feel like
knowing that and seeing Bill Adama drinking himself to oblivion in some of these episodes,
she should have had a different reaction personally. I feel like I would
have a more like hard stance on being like, this is fucking wrong what
you're doing. And I know you're not driving a car, but you're in
charge of a massive warship and you're drinking on the job. And I would
feel that she would also have a different type of relationship with Tie being a
chronic alcoholic too. It would have been more interesting to see her have like
some sort of problem whenever people were drinking excessively because I think that would change
me completely in the way that I perceive and interact with people who are completely
drunk. Yeah, I can see that. I wish they would have done
something with that, just to like give you hints and then this explains it.
That would have been really good. But like talking about how the flashbacks
don't work because people have changed, she looked old as hell at that baby
shower, like she was still allowed to be in a flashback being old as
hell at a baby shower. So I feel like, again, this is
problematic that, like she got her flashback even though she's obviously aged. How
come we couldn't get a little chunky tearrol to do a flashback? And he
just has an issue with yo yo waiting, like he gains and loses weight.
A lot of people have issues like that. They could have put him
in a gym, just like fucking Honders, and he was working out on
a treadmill saying I'm trying to lose weight for this assignment. And then that
was it, Like we fixed the plot hole. Well, they already had
footage of him the youth, I guess. But then so we see some
time passes and Roslin is eating sushi. Yeah, she's saying she's not going
to join the presidential campaign, which, of course we know that she does
get involved in politics. She becomes a te the Secretary Education, and she's
also being set up on a blind date, which we do not see anything
about. Yeah, I'd be like googling that guy. As soon as I
got off the phone. I thought it was like a week after her parents
died, or her family died. That they were like, you need to
get out there, you need to start dating, you need to move on
with your life. I wish there was a better way to tell us what
time we're in. She mentioned it had been three months. That's not enough
time after your whole family dies, and you're like, oh, yeah,
I'm just eating sushi, you know, talking about dating. I wouldn't feel
good. I would still be like in a pit of despair because I lost
my whole family. Yeah, I don't know. I don't buy three weeks
or three months is still not enough. Give me three years. But they
had her in a different wig too, did you notice. Yeah, so
that woman just stays in wigs. I just saw an ad for the Fall
of a House of Usher and she was in it, and she had this
awful blonde wig. Yeah, it's good to see her working still though,
who else I really liked Honders and how eloquent he kind of was in his
bathtub. Yeah, it was weird to see him in a bathtub. It
was weird, and his nipples were out. They kind of like, I
don't know. Yeah, he's just talking about sports and how he wants to
be perfect. He's like, it's not about the score, it's not about
winning, it's about the performance, about making the perfect throw and having the
perfect catch. He was like talking about math, and I'm like, you
lost me, You lost me. And I'm like thinking about this pyramid game
from when I saw it last and I'm like, I don't think it's that
deep, bro, But it would have been cool if any at any point,
like if they had the budget to show us what a real pyramid court
was supposed to look like, right, because what we see is like the
homemade post apocalyptic versions. Yeah, it's like a pickup game of basketball versus
like, you know, ANFL game. Yeah yeah, oh yeah, not
NFL. NFL is the football one. Yeah, it would have been cool
to see like an imagining of that even an empty court, but that would
have required a budget or something. But it could have been something that they
did, like in photoshop like they did Caprica City. Yeah, like a
digital rendering. Well, sounds like they ran out of the money because they
had the shoot in the production office. Yeah, it was really fun to
see hot Dog interacting with Colonel Adama. Admiral Admiral Adama. Who's Colonel Tye?
Oh, Colonel ty Okay? Yeah, sorry, I always get this
confused. It's only seventy episodes. It's confusing. Admiral Adama Aa okay,
Yeah, they a lot of them do, like some of the main characters
definitely do. Uh. But hot Dog is running around with like a bag
full of pictures and a baby girl, no, a baby boy. He's
got Nikki on his shoulder or on his side. I was wondering if he
was hanging out with that child. Yeah, I think uh Tyrrell after he
got out of jail, and we never found out how he got out of
jail, uh no, because he was there in that final scene then yeah,
yeah, he was supposed to be in jail. But after he's out
of jail, he's like, fuck that kid, because we see him in
jail when he's talking to Helo. But yeah, they got him out of
jail and it's not explained. But anyway, Colonel or Admiral Adama like bumps
into hot Dog and then causes him to like drop all these pictures and he's
like, oh, let me help you because I fucked you up here,
and he's like a and then hot Dogs explaining these are all the pilots and
we're just taking them down because you know, we don't want them to be
left behind. And there's still pictures up there of people who were are forgot
because whoever put up their pictures probably gone. We've lost them along the way.
And I feel like that's so real, like yeah, because everyone is
packing up, we see like a Dama packing boxes and stuff and everyone's clearing
out the photo memorial hallway. Yeah, and when you go to it,
like when when we finally see it, it looks so different from the other
images we've used to be seen, like hundreds of photographs of different people and
now it's just like very sparse, but it's still like got some faces there,
and a Dama's walking by looking at them, and then he notices Hara
is on there and he like looks at it for a while and then he
walks away that he stops, and then he comes back and grabs the picture.
And that's kind of like incentive to be like, she is not dead,
she is lost and we will find her. And he goes to Anders
and Kara's there and he's like, I got a question. Can you turn
him on? And she's like, I can turn on my husband. I
know how to do that. And they turn him on and he starts talking
about stuff again. The dama is not like comfortable seeing this. No,
and Kara's like, you got your question. He's like, you ask that
was so funny. He's like, no, you ask him. I'm cool.
But apparently Anders knows the answer to their question and somehow is able to
relay it, which I don't know how they got that got there. Did
he print it off or what's going on? Probably gave him coordinates or something.
That's wild that he answered like a question, because like every interaction with
these goddamn hybrids has been like I'm going to answer your question with another question.
Here's a limerick or whatever, and I'm like, I don't get it.
I don't understand what they're saying. You probably quoted some song lyrics and
they had to interpret it. Yeah, but they figured it out. And
now Adama's like, everybody, everybody meet me in the hangar deck right now
and him and is it Starbuck have a roll of duct tape and I'm like,
oh man, they probably could have used that duct tape for packing.
No, this is their special red tape for making lines in the sand.
Yeah. And so they make this line down the middle of the hangar deck
and they're like, you stand on this side if you want to volunteer,
you stand on that side if you're cool and you don't want to join.
It's completely voluntary. And Tori is on the fence about it, and I
love that for her. Yeah, and she's still on the fence, but
everybody, all the asylums are like, no, you're coming, bitch,
you're part of this. And I feel like she should have been allowed to
stay back. Yeah, and was basically like, you're coming with us,
yeah, and so did Tyrol. Tyrol grabbed her and was like come on.
Yeah. And we also see like some of the pilots like racetrack and
stuff, they've been let out of prison for this. So I think that's
why chiefs out too, like they think they brought everyone there. Oh,
okay, do you see hot Dog's gonna cross over and leave the kid on
the other side. Oh, we saw him crossover and the kid wasn't with
them, So yeah, they're passing off that kid to some other dude.
Yeah, I honestly don't remember if we see that kid fucking Nikki Man.
Then oh uh. Doc Coddle tries to cross and Adama stops him and we
learn his first name is Sherman. We've never heard that before. Right,
He's like, we can't afford to lose a doctor. You better go back,
and he looked so sad going back. Right. I was so sad
for him, like he should be allowed to go. But he's kind of
right. The colony can't afford to lose a doctor that does all the things
that he does. Yeah, but his nurse, it's always with him.
She was allowed to cross the Yeah. Yeah, she's just a nurse.
You know. We can afford to lose nurses apparently. But that was a
pretty interesting scene to see how many people still believe that there's hope for I
don't know if this is hope for the cylons, hope for their crew may
hope for this like Little Girl, but it's like maybe a third or a
fourth of the ship moves to the side. Yeah, say, probably about
a third looked like Yeah, I mean it's a pretty powerful scene, like
setting up like this is the last mission for the Galactica, like we don't
expect to come back. Do you think that was all the people in the
cast and crew or I mean in the cast, I would think like most
of our regular like recurring characters are there. Yeah. I'm trying to think
of the world there be anyone that's just on the different ships that wouldn't have
been there. I don't know like everyone, but I didn't get to like
scan the crowd decision. I don't know anything for every person. You know,
most of the background characters are pretty generic. But I'm wondering if they
did anything with like photoshop or after effects to make it look like a bigger
crowd. Very likely, because I know that that set is not as big
as it looks like. It's a there's a digital extension to it, uh
huh. So it's possible that like they had the fill in the back of
the crowd as well. When they do that wide that way, wide shot
of the entire group. Baltar was there, and I don't think we saw
his decision. I think we saw him sweating it. Yeah, And prior
to that, we saw him have a confrontation with Lee. I think he's
trying to get his group to have a seat in the government, and Lee
accuses him of never doing a single selfless thing in his life or if if
it looks like it's a selfishless sact, there's some sort of benefit to him
in some way or form. Yeah, speaking of Lee, Like, that's
the one flashback we didn't touch on. He meets Kara Thrace for the first
time and his brother is there, Zach, which is the same actor from
back in season one. That's cool. I like that He's like, this
one's mine. Yeah, And as we all know, Lee respected that request.
Yeah, sure he did so. Yeah. We basically we see them
meet and then later we see Lee arriving home drunk with a pigeon trapped in
his house. That was funny. I was like, I don't get it.
Did he come home drunk from that from that meeting or has he been
hanging out with them a lot? And like this is one of many nights
of him coming home drunk like this. It's not clear. I will say.
I know, like this is a flashback that will continue in part two,
so we'll see more of it. The pigeon, Yeah, the whole
pigeon and Lee Kara Zach Okay, that's cool. Yeah, and I think
we touched on everything. Do you have anything else to bring up? Not
at this time. I'm I think, oh, well, maybe we can
talk about how Harrah is in the cylom base ship and there she's not eating
enough and so they're going to resort to putting her on a feeding tube,
which I think is like a little extreme. I feel like they have a
Sharon. She can probably get the kid to eat some apple sauce or something
with some protein powder. Yeah. So Boomer is there, and she's the
only one like advocating for hair to be treated as a person and not an
object. Yeah, Cavil just wants that genetic code. Simon. The doctor
is seems willing to just see nicer do whatever. Yeah, he pulls out
that scary pointy thing and the thing is for a feeding tube, you don't
necessarily need to operate. You can do one through the nose into the stomach
and do that do it that way, so it's not like something that can
that needs to be like an operation would just like I would recommend maybe putting
her under and then just like sliding the tube down her nose, put a
little band aid there and done, You're done. You put in the little
insure shakes in there, and she's eaten good. In the neighborhood, she's
still drawing those dots that Starbuck had the code of as music notes. And
then we also see Starbuck like trying to work on that project when she's hanging
out with Anders. He's trying to turn it into math. Oh I hate
this. Yeah, there's a lot of mass in this episode. It was
a lot. But yeah. So Hara is being kept at the colony,
and the colony is orbiting a black hole and there's only one location where a
ship can jump in and out to get to it. So that's kind of
where we leave it. Them trying to plan that attack right and realizing how
shitty it's going to be. I'm excited. This is the final confrontation before
the end, and I'm sure it'll be really exciting. Maybe they spent their
budget on that battle. No, they show up and they get shot out
of the sky. That's it. The end astral queen who was the standout
character in the episode? All right, do you have an astral queen?
I was thinking my astral queen would be the Admiral Adama. Yes, he's
the only one. Well basically, I mean this episode is all flashbacks.
He's the one that kind of I liked his speech rallying everyone at the end
to pick aside. And he also he solved the problem of figuring out where
Harah is from when he saw that photo. He had the idea to go
talk to Onders, and I just seem like he kind of did the most
in the present timeline. I'm gonna give mine to Guius's dad for stabbing that
dumb nurse and colling Caprica six escort. Okay, he had the most charisma
and he was just like really alive. So yeah, that's who I'm giving
it too. Who else would I pick? I don't know, number six
for kidnapping his dad. No, I don't like that. No, I
feel like the very short scene he was on he was very memorable, that
old man. Yeah, all right, well then Admiral Odama and looks like
his name is Julius Julius Baltar. We'll have to find your address at the
care home and send you your award. What's next. That's the end.
We're not doing a spoiler section. So that wraps up Daybreak Part one,
and so next time we are covering both parts two and three, because that
is how it originally aired. If you're watching it on streaming, it's likely
split into two separate episodes, so just watch both of them. And I'm
excited to be here at the end. Who knew? Who knew we would
get here? Took almost three years. It took three years, Yeah,
for us to get through this. Yep. We started in twenty twenty during
the pandemic. Yeah, I believe. So we're like, we have nothing
to do, let's start this pandemic podcast. Oh yeah. It's like seventy
some episodes depending on how you count them. So yeah, it took us
a little while we did. I mean shortly after we started, I ended
up moving across the country and we had to stop for several months. So
yeah, across the country, but like from Kansas City to Houston. Yeah,
it's still cross country. That's like hass across. It's not like from
LA to New York. It's down the country. Yeah, anyway, that's
it, So join us for the finale. Who Ruthie, shut the fuck
