Trivia:
Went through a number of changes according to the Podcast commentary. Some of these early differences include: 1. Part One was to conclude with the Raptor crashing and Part Two would end with Starbuck stealing the Raider to finish the finale with a season-ending cliffhanger. This was changed when the original pacing wasn't working. 2. Originally, the ruins on Kobol were supposed to be a huge temple that was mirrored on Caprica. This was abandoned due to cost constraints. 3. What Baltar and Number Six experienced inside the ruins on Kobol went through a number of changes. Originally, Ron D. Moore proposed to the other writers that there was supposed to be a bright corridor of light. In a later version, there was to be complete darkness punctuated with music from a song recognizable by both the audience and the two explorers. Then, Dirk Benedict (Starbuck from the original "Battlestar Galactica" (1978)) was supposed appear and say something like, "Hi. I'm God." followed by TO BE CONTINUED... However, the other writers quickly disparaged the idea as implausible, and Ron D. Moore reluctantly agreed. 4. One concept that the writers liked, but were forced to abandon was the idea that the interior room of the ruins was to be located in "otherspace" or in a different spatial or dimensional location.

Starbuck has one night stand with Dr. Baltar, creating tension with Apollo. Meanwhile, Boomer and Crashdown find a habitable planet with ancient ruins and people conclude it is Kobol. President Roslin has visions with the pictures of the surface of Kobol due to the drug camalla and Elosha gives a religious interpretation to her visions based on the scriptures. Commander Adama sends three raptors to research the planet, but they are surprised by a Cylon starbase and the raiders destroy raptor number three, the number one crashes on Kobol and the number two jumps back to Galactica. Adama plots a scheme with Starbuck to lure the Cylons using the raider they have but President Roslin convinces her to jump back to Caprica to retrieve the mystic Apollo's Arrow to help her to lead the survivors to Earth. Meanwhile Boomer tries to commit suicide in Galactica while her clone is shot by Helo in Caprica.
In this episode, the incoherent President Roslin gives sign of insanity jeopardizing the rescue mission of the survivors in Kobol following her intuition based on religion and dividing the leadership of the survivors in a moment of danger. I really do not like this character and consequently the parts of this series where she participates. Meanwhile Boomer in Galactica has existence crisis and shows suicidal tendencies. In Caprica, the other clone is in love with Halo. The jealousy of Apollo is quite ridiculous, giving a connotation of soap-opera to this episode. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Último Vislumbre de Kobol – Parte 1" ("The Last Glimpse of Kobol - Part 1")
