Didja Notice?
During the journey from the original Earth, the Final Five
follow a breadcrumb in the ship's computer to the algae planet.
On page 6, they investigate the Temple of Hopes (otherwise known
as the Temple of Five as seen in
"The Eye of Jupiter").
On page 11, Ellen relates on arriving at the Twelve Colonies, 12
years into the First Cylon War. She tells of the humans and
Cylons fighting to a standstill on each colony and mentions the
jungles of Scorpia; The Plan
first stated that Scorpia was known for its jungles.
On page 21, panel 3, it is implied that Saul drew the body of
the Number Six model Cylon to look like the Head being he had
been seeing.
The semi-organic space station seen in the last panel of page 17
is the Cylon Colony, previously seen in "Daybreak" Parts
1 and
2, and destroyed in the latter.
We get our first and only look at the Number Seven model Cylon,
Daniel, in this issue. Though I had speculated in the study of
"No Exit" that
this Daniel might have been based on the body/mind of Daniel
Graystone, the inventor of Colonial Cylons
in the prequel series Caprica,
the Daniel model seen here does not look much like Graystone.
Cavil's killing of Saul and Ellen by sending them out an airlock
does not match the death of the Final Five as told by Anders in
"No Exit". There, he says Cavil
trapped them all in a compartment and took the O2 offline.
