While harvesting algae on the planet beyond the star cluster, the possible discovery of an ancient artifact known as "the Eye of Jupiter" leads to a deadly stand-off with the Cylons, who believe that the Eye is a marker left by the 13th tribe to point the way to Earth. *Image courtesy of Galacticabbs.com and blurb courtesy of SciFi.com as usual.

So, is this episode going to piss me off? Well, Kara is doing a good job of doing that for me. She won't divorce and he won't cheat. Hera screaming in pain, sounds like. Aw, she's sweet, and Baltar is able to soothe her. What the heck does the chief hear? X marks the spot (where did he pull that flashlight from?) Whoa - big cave-like room with ceiling that looks kind of like a cathedral. ETA: Must be the 'Eye of Jupiter'. Reminds me of Superman's ice cave.

Interesting factlet for you, from an interview with Jane Espenson:
Did you write the entire specific dialog for The Hybrid? Even the "nonsense" it speaks before Baltar plunges his hand in? Some noted that the closed captioning said "Zeus" rather than "Jupiter" during the dialog about the "Eye of Jupiter" (the title of an upcoming episode), and some readers seen annoyed that it really was Zeus that was Hera's husband, not Jupiter.
I wrote this for the Hybrid in that pre-grab moment: "Seascape portrait of the woman-child cavern of the soul under pressure-heat ratio--" which is, I think, what we hear. But there is at least one BSG writer who can generate pages of beautiful, haunting and resonant Hybrid-speak at will. He writes lots of her stuff and more power to him!
When I wrote this episode, the upcoming episode was already well along, and it was called "Eye of Zeus." So all the dialogue in my episode reflected that. It got changed to Jupiter later, and I don't know why. It's always hard to get names to legally clear. All you need is one guy named Zeus who lives in North Hollywood and Standards and Practices is all over you to change the name. (deadpan) That's probably what happened.

Oh wow. That was kind of cool. Very cool. It looked lit, but probably by the sun. I wonder why the chief could hear the noise and why he took off to explore by himself. Probably looking for chocolate.

4000 year old temple. Here comes the Cylons! Oh, I love the music/drum beat. Baltar sounds like a frog but he's looking more and more Christ-like. Six!Baltar! Athena! Boomer! Sharon! Oh, my. I wonder how soon Athena will find out about Hera. "We come in peace." LOL! "We'll throw in Baltar." LOL! God, I love Dean Stockwell. Oh, crap. That didn't take long. Athena is not going to like this one bit. D'anna is looking very blonde.

"Honey." Methinks Kara wants her cake and ....... her other cake. The Temple of 5. Huh. Gaius and Baltar think very much alike. Ah, Children of Men. Sure to be an instant holiday classic.

Sam was looking pretty good in that scene w/Kara and Lee. Not that he ever looked bad before but, dayum. I'm liking all the sweaty people.
