Episode Summary
 
[x] Remove Ad
Two men from different worlds are drawn together when a suicide bombing claims the lives of their daughters. One is Joseph Adams, a lawyer from the poor Tauron colony who hides his ethnic background in a racially tense environment and also lost his wife to the terrorist attack, leaving him to raise his young son alone. The other is Daniel Graystone, a rich and brilliant scientist native to the industrious planet Caprica who discovers that his daughter's consciousness lives on in an online avatar she made before her death. Initially united in grief, the two maybe driven apart by how far Graystone goes to return his daughter to the world.

Episode Notes
 
Production for this episode ended June 19, 2008. The subsequent episodes of the season will not be produced until the summer of 2009.
 
This episode, and presumably most, if not the entirety of the series, takes place 58 years prior to the destruction of the Twelve Colonies depicted in Battlestar Galactica.
 
It's revealed that the word Cylon is actually an acronym: it stands for Cybernetic Life-form Node.
 
William Adama is 11 years old here. This will make him 69 by the beginning of Battlestar Galactica. It is also revealed that he is of Tauron descent and that he is named after his grandfather.
 
The Tauron language spoken in this episode is, in reality, Ancient Greek.
 
The name of William's mother is given as Shannon here even though a dossier seen in the Battlestar Galactica episode "Hero" had given her name as Evelyn.
 
The V-Club is a redressing of the Opera House from Kobol as seen in visions several times throughout Battlestar Galactica. It's also been oft-observed that the Greystone home looks very much like that of Baltar's on Caprica. However, given the residence on the same colony as well as the level of intellectual respect both have gained leaves it possible that this maybe of a deeper, if even never fully explored, significance to the story.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Joseph: I want you to know who you are. We come from a long, proud line of Tauron peasants who knew how to work the land and still stand proud. You're named after your grandfather. Did I ever tell you that?
William: Nope.
Joseph: William. He was killed during the Tauron uprising. Our last name isn't Adams. I changed it after I arrived here on Caprica. Our family name is Adama. Adama. And it's a good, honourable Tauron name.
 
Cylon: (to Daniel) All targets neutralised. Program completed by your command.
 
Joan Leyte: What'd you call it?
Daniel: Uh, Cybernetic Life-form Node. A Cylon, Minister.
Joan Leyte: Hmm. Cylon. Interesting.
