Exodus, Part 1

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

The secret source in the administration has provided Tyrol with a list of all humans scheduled for extermination. Tyrol’s wife Cally is on the list and he sets off to rescue her. Sharon Agathon has made it safely to the planet but they are ambushed by Cylons lying in wait. They realize they were betrayed and Anders finds damning evidence that points to the identity of the traitor. D’Anna Biers has been having strange dreams of late and an oracle tells her that the child Hera is alive and she will hold her in her arms.

Our Take

A tense hour that keeps nearly every storyline moving at a clip, with the rescue plot generating real dread and the traitor reveal landing with a proper gut punch. Some of the Cylon dream material drags by comparison, but it sets up enough intrigue to justify itself. Well worth your time, and the cliffhanger alone earns it.
