6/10
Leadership Divided
14 September 2008
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")
