Season 2 Spoilers! Cover your eyes!

SPOILERS

So the destruction of the Cylon resurrection ship [in the Jan. 13 episode, "Resurrection Ship, Part 2"] must really affect their operations, right?

â??The destruction of the resurrection ship impacts the way the Cylons deal with Galactica and the colonial fleet the rest of the season. It alters their tactics. They stop trying to make full-blown, all-out assaults on the fleet, they retreat and go into a hit-and-run mode while they figure out a way to replicate the ship.â?

Moore then discussed whatâ??s coming up on various episodes that will air in the second half of the season.

â??Epiphaniesâ?: â??Lauraâ??s health comes to a crisis point in the next episode [after the `Resurrection Shipâ?? two-parter]. It opens on her being rushed into sick bay. Her time is almost up and Doc Cottle says sheâ??s not going to make it. This gave us the chance to do some flashbacks to Caprica before the attacks. We see the president she worked for and there are some surprising revelations about their relationship. We see where she gets some of her philosophy of governing. As the fleet prepares for [vice president] Baltar to take over, heâ??s actually the one who figures out a way to save Lauraâ??s life, at the last moment. It comes from his study of Sharonâ??s unborn child, that provides the key to curing Lauraâ??s cancer.â?
â??Scarâ?: We do an episode thatâ??s really about fighter combat. [Kara `Starbuckâ?? Thrace figures prominently]. Thereâ??s a Cylon raider that keeps coming, just keeps coming. He kills a bunch of pilots. Itâ??s their dark shark in the water, he keeps coming to get people.â?
â??Thereâ??s an episode where a bunch of people take hostages in a bar, and they demand that Adama [get rid of] Sharon. They feel like there shouldnâ??t be any Cylons alive in the fleet. And theyâ??ll kill a bunch of hostages to get her.â?
â??Thereâ??s an episode where Lee has to deal with the new commander of the Pegasus [This person is not the second-in-command whom we met during â??Resurrection Shipâ? episodes]. It turns out the guy who had been in charge was deep into the black market. Another guy is put in charge, heâ??s a bit paranoid. And heâ??s really not up to the task of command. The Pegasus continues to be a troubled ship for the rest of the season.â?
â??Thereâ??s an episode down the line that weâ??re really excited about, the entire episode is told from the Cylon point of view: what their society is like, what they go through during reincarnation and when theyâ??re born again. We really get inside the Cylon [society] and get to view that for the first time. [In another story in this episode, something really important happens, but Iâ??m not going to give it away, dear readers. Itâ??s just too good].
â?Thereâ??s a two-part season finale. We throw some real curveballs. There are some pretty major changes in how we do business. Itâ??s really going to catch people off guard.â?

MORE spoilers

Laura and Adama are closer than ever in this two-parter, but she is the one who says they must kill Cain in order to save the fleet. At first Adama balks at it, but then finds out Pegasus had a civilian fleet, but Cain stripped the ships for parts and took only the "useful" people from them, leaving the rest stranded. If the person refused, she ordered their family to be shot. Laura is getting sicker, but is still in control.

What does Apollo do in these episodes?
Highlight: He helps Starbuck get the recon photos of the Resurrection ship, but when his part is found out, Cain revokes his flight status. After the decision is made to destroy the Resurrection ship, Adama tells Starbuck to kill Cain and have Lee back her up. During the fight, Lee pilots the Blackbird to take out its FTL drive. The Blackbird is destroyed, but he ejects in time, watching the battle from the front row. However, a tear in his suit means he needs rescuing soon, but he is so upset over the decision to kill Cain he doesn't want to be rescued. He eventually is found and saved, but not before a cool dream/half-conscious scene.

How does Cain die?
Adama never gives Starbuck the codeword order to kill Cain. Cain seems to realize it, and doesn't give the same command to her XO she put on Galactica to kill Adama. All seems well until Baltar lets the Number Six the Pegasus captured free. She wants to die and asks Baltar to kill her, but he refuses, saying she deserves justice. So, she runs off, finds Cain and shoots her in the head.

Resurrection ship: It contains thousands of new Cylon bodies because the fleet is too far from the Cylon homeworld for the consciousnesses to reach it.

Promotions: Cain promotes Starbuck to captain and makes her the Pegasus CAG. Roslin promotes Adama to admiral at the end.

The Chief and Helo: They live. Adama moves them back to the Galactica after Cain's death

Pegasus is still in the fleet at the end of the episode, but now under the command of the XO (name escapes me right now.) He's the same one who tells Tigh about all of the bad things Cain has done.

Starbuck: She does the recon on the Cylon fleet. Cain is impressed with her boldness and skill, so she's promoted to captain and made the CAG on Pegasus. Starbuck then draws up the plan to attack the Cylons and destroy the Resurrection ship, using her new power to get Lee back on the mission, even though Cain hates him. She's given the task of killing Cain by Adama, but doesn't have to go through with it when he changes his mind and doesn't give the codeword. It's some great acting watching her fight her emotions in the buildup to that point.
