The full cast of the first season of 'Battlestar Galactica.'
The Big Picture There are plenty of great Battlestar Galactica episodes out there. The very first episode, "33," is a masterclass in how to successfully kick off a series, and the Season 3 two-parter "Exodus" keeps us pinned to our seats as we wonder if New Caprica can survive. But there's one two-part episode in particular that changed the course of the rest of the series.
While the trial portion of "Crossroads" is important, it's the side plot that actually makes this two-parter the most memorable. As the fleet is all focused on putting Baltar to death, there's another band of sleeper agents who are waking up to their true identity. After a season of teases about who the "Final Five" models of Cylons might be, "Crossroads" gives us our answer .
When BSG began, Chief Tyrol was in a secret relationship with Sharon "Boomer" Valerii , who we learn pretty early on is actually a Cylon model, Number Eight. This sends Chief into quite a tizzy, and he struggles with the concept that he has been in love with a machine. Now, to find out that he's been one all along — after he has taken a human wife and had a family — it puts him in a mental tailspin that he struggles to get out of. And he's not the only one.
"All Along the Watchtower" acts as an activation signal, but it activates so much more than just the Final Five. From here on out, Battlestar Galactica would never be the same. The series would dive even deeper into Cylon politics, and the colonial fleet would be in much greater danger than before, as the revelation of the Final Five acts as a new hope for the Cylon race.
