This is the first of a two-part episode called "Exodus". Back in
1979, the second issue of the BSG70 comic published by Marvel
Comics was also titled "Exodus", the second part of their
adaptation of the pilot, "Saga of a Star World". I used that
title "Exodus" as the title of
"Saga of a Star World" Part 2
in the PopApostle study.

Didja Notice?
The episode opens with a repeat of the last minute or so of
"Precipice".
After Ellen helps Saul apply his eye patch, she seems about to
admit what she did to protect him from the Cylons, but they are
interrupted by the entrance of Tyrol.
Tyrol has shaved his beard in between episodes.
At 4:08 on the Blu-ray, we get a brief glimpse of the names on a
sheet of paper designating which human prisoners the Cylons are
planning to execute. Some of it is hard to read due to wrinkles
on the page and the depth of focus, but the names are listed
here as best as I can make them out: Wei Ho (Cashier), Andrew
Schultz (Therapist), Takashi Nitut (Physician), Don Wilberg
(Repairs), Taco Witte (Radio), Wilson Sena (Teller), Simon Woo
(Therapist), Taco Trajano (CFC; possibly Corporal
First Class), Nate Watt (Entertainer), Jes Tei (Priest), Mike
Sharp (Services), Jonas Renault (Mechanic), Peter Beken (ITI),
Ronan Versex (Food Services), John Weynholds (Rabi), Antonio
Totic (Officer), Koichi Sands (P.R.: possibly Public Relations).
Others are readable only as first names and/or jobs.
At 12:32 on the Blu-ray, a resistance fighter is seen carrying a
Norinco Type 84S rifle.
The pistol Number One tries to reach at 12:53 on the Blu-ray is
a Vektor CP1.

At 19:00 on the Blu-ray, a large rock is seen in the
city with ropes tied around it to help anchor nearby tents.
The rock also has strange, possibly religious, symbols
painted on it. Similar symbols are seen inside the
oracle's tent. A crate with unusual markings is also
seen on the right-hand side of the screen. |

The oracle remarks to Number Three that the "child of two
peoples" (human and Cylon) will be named Hera, "after the wife
and sister of the all-knowing Zeus." In Greek mythology, the
king of the gods, Zeus, is married to his sister, Hera.
At 22:41 on the Blu-ray, Racetrack pours Aerilon Crystal brand
salt on the flight deck as part of a ceremony to grant troops
luck in an upcoming battle. Salt has played a role in religious
ceremonies throughout human history on Earth.
Number Three is somehow familiar with the dog called Jake who is
an unknowing part of the resistance's information stream.
Number One implies that the pain of resurrection gets worse each
time.
Baltar's portrait is no longer hanging on the wall of Colonial
One at 29:45 on the Blu-ray.
Sam tells Caprica-Valerii that he has not seen Starbuck (his
wife) in four months and he doesn't know if she's alive or dead.
Tyrol tells
Caprica-Valerii that he and Cally's son was named Nicholas after
Cally's grandfather.
