Episode Notes
 
Survivor count: 41,400
 
Series stars James Callis and Tricia Helfer do not appear in this episode.
 
This episode marks the death of Kara Thrace.
 
The bonus scene played at the end of this episode is of Kara noticing and clearly worried that her Viper is leaking hydraulic fluid.
 
Adama destroying the model ship was an improvised moment by Edward James Olmos. What he didn't know was that the ship was not a prop, but an actual model that was being rented. Thankfully, it was insured.
 
This episode marks the 50th episode of the series and is the only Galactica series to make 50 episodes since the other two series did not last to a second season.
 
When this episode originally aired, Samantha Ferris was credited as Sarah Ryan for playing Pollux despite the fact that she doesn't appear in this episode. However, on DVD appears to be a correction as it seems there was an apparent mix-up due to the fact that a character in this episode was named Sarah Ryan, also a deckhand.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Kara: (talking about her mother) During the first Cylon War, she was stationed with the first marines on Medra. Stinking jungles you wouldn't believe. Had this phobia of insects for the rest of her life. Hated the damn things. So I go out and I buy a bunch of rubber bugs, and I slip into her closet, and I put them all over her shoes.
Sam Anders: And?
Kara: She screamed her frakking head off. I go in, and she's trying to smash them with her shoes, but that's just making them bounce around even more.
Sam Anders: You must have caught hell for that.
Kara: She grabbed my hand, held it in the door jam and slamned the door.
Sam Anders: Oh, frak me.
Kara: It was worth it, though.
 
Leoben Conoy: See, there's nothing so terrible about death. When you finally face it, it's beautiful. You're free now, to become who you really are.
Kara: You're not Leoben.
Leoben Conoy: Never said I was. I'm here to prepare you to pass through the next door, to discover what lies in the space between life and death.
 
Kara: Lee, I'll see you on the other side.
Lee: Kara, please. Listen to me. Come back.
Kara: Just let me go.
Lee: Godsdamn it, Kara. You come back! Come back!
Kara: It's okay. Just let me go. They're waiting for me.
 
Adama: Lee, do you have her in sight? Can you see her?
(long pause)
Lee: Negative. She - she went in. She went in.
Adama: We're sending in the search and rescue birds right now. We'll find her.
Lee: No, dad. It's no use. Her ship's in pieces. Her ship's in pieces. No chute. We lost her.
