Battlestar Galactica

Daybreak: Part 3 - S4-E21

Plot hole: During the last Galactica jump, Kara enters different coordinates that she puts together in her head from her memories. There is no explanation as to how the fleet came up with those coordinates instead of the rendezvous coordinates. If the fleet had them as the rendezvous coordinates, Kara wouldn't have said "I don't have the rendezvous coordinates!" Right before the Galactica jump. Bill Adama also wouldn't have said in response "It doesn't matter! Just jump is out of here..." (00:05:54)

Suggested correction: In the flashback, Kara said "I thought that, if I assigned numbers to the notes." Those were the numbers she used for the notes to "All Along the Watchtower." She remembered them and used those for the coordinates.

Questions

Show generally

Question: In the first main movie, Baltaar the traitor (as a human) is executed before the Cylon's supreme ruler; yet in the later movies (and probably the TV series, which I did not get to watch) he reappears. How can this be possible?

Answer: The original BSG has something of a complex version history. Several versions exist, but the rationale behind what you're referring to is as follows. BSG, before anything else, was a TV series - the 'pilot episode' was a three-part tale called "Saga of a Star World". In that three-parter, a last-minute alteration to the script meant that Baltar was ultimately spared execution, because Glen A. Larson, the series producer, decided that he liked the Baltar character enough to keep him around for the rest of the series. The theatrical version, which was edited down from the three-parter and was shown in some countries before the US TV broadcast, lost quite a number of scenes, including the one where Baltar is spared. The real continuity of the series can only be found in the TV version - the movies, all of which were created by editing together existing episodes, miss out scenes leading to such apparent continuity errors.

Answer: Baltar wasn't executed... the supreme leader decided to spare him to send him on a peace mission with the humans. I have every episode... just watched it again.

Answer: Strange... given I saw Battlestar Galactica at the movies when I was a kid. Aka the 'pilot' you refer to (which WAS a movie shown at the cinema).

Yes, there was a theatrical release of the film, which was released after the original 1978 series ended. This 1979 film is the edited compilation of the 1978 series "Saga of a Star World" episode.
