Storyline

The secret source in the administration has provided Tyrol with a list of all humans scheduled for extermination. Tyrol's wife Cally is on the list and he sets off to rescue her. Sharon Agathon has made it safely to the planet but they are ambushed by Cylons lying in wait. They realize they were betrayed and Anders finds damning evidence that points to the identity of the traitor. D'Anna Biers has been having strange dreams of late and an oracle tells her that the child Hera is alive and she will hold her in her arms. Roslin meanwhile assigns a squad of men to protect the child at all costs. The Admiral sends the Pegasus away with the few remaining civilian ships to continue the search for Earth.

Goofs

Previously, when Jammer released Callie and told her to run, she fell off a cliff and then ran into a forest where we heard shots fired, whereas when the same scene is re-shown, there is no forest through which she runs; she is intercepted by Chief Tyrol on the hill and both of them fall down on rocks with no tree in sight.

Quotes

Colonel Saul Tigh: [to Chief Tyrol] Chief! Pull it together. You won't do her any good if you get caught too. Besides, the last thing your son wants is me and Ellen for parents.

User Reviews

The Threads in the Big Twist Begin to Weave in this Episode

Season 3 of BSG involves one of the most well-executed season-long (more actually) story arcs in sci fi history. Although Exodus Part I is not one of the most exciting episodes in this arc, it sets up some important relationships and situations which will play out very well in later episodes within the arc.

Adama is making plans to return to New Caprica to rescue the colonists from the Cylon occupation, while Lee is ordered to protect the civilian fleet with Pegasus. Sharon will lead the rescue party. Meanwhile Starbuck continues to undergo psychological experimentation and torture at the hands Leoben Conoy; the resistance on New Caprica begins to experience serious breaches, and Baltar's alienation from the colonists and his depression become more profound.

Very good episode - but don't bother if you haven't seen its predecessors. Season three won't make much sense watched out of sequence.
