While the Galactica stands alone against Baltar at
Gemini, Starbuck and Athena face off against the Ovions in the
debris field of the remains of Carillon.
Didja Notice?
Although the Cylonics have defeated the Colonial defense of
Gemini, Lu-C-Fer informs Baltar that over fifty percent of their
own forces were destroyed in the battle and another twenty
percent are badly damaged. The computer recommends bringing the
fleet back to Gamoray where reinforcements are available. In the
original BSG episode
"The Living
Legend" Parts 1 and 2, Gamoray was a regional seat of the
Cylon capital.
Another image of the planet Earth is seen during Jolly's
connection to the Cylonic hive mind on page 6. Presumably, this
is meant to again represent Helia (see the study of
"Galactica 1880" Part 1).
Page 9 introduces Queen Lotay of the Ovions. The original
series analog appeared in
"Exodus" and
"Deathtrap".
On page 19, panel 1, Apollo's goatee is missing!
On page 19, Apollo greets the long-estranged Starbuck with a hug
and the exclamation, "My brother!" Is this just a friendly
greeting, as in "brother-in-arms" or is Starbuck considered an
adopted son of Adama?
