"Battlestar Galactica" 1.10 - "The Hand of God" Quiz

Answer: snakes

The president saw nearly a dozen snakes on her podium during her question and answer session. The visions made her behavior muddled and awkward, causing the reporters to give her strange looks.

Later, when talking with a priestess, Laura learned that her experience was similar to a prophecy written by Pythia: "serpents numbering two and ten."

Answer: The Cylons already had a base and mining facility on the asteroid.

After the short-lived celebration, Boomer saw a formation of Cylon Raiders heading for them, so they scattered. It was really unfortunate that the only likely Tylium they were going to find was being processed and protected by the Cylons. When the information got back to Commander Adama, he decided that Galactica was going to take the asteroid by force.

Answer: Kara Thrace

Kara was brought in on the op to present a different perspective on the attack. Instead of a by-the-book procedure, she offered a way to use the Cylons' patrols against them. Her plan was welcomed by Commander Adama and approved by the president.

Answer: He was guessing wildly and knew nothing about Cylon refineries.

Baltar had asked the Six in his head for help, but she wouldn't give it to him. She, like him, apparently knew nothing of Cylon refineries. When Baltar finally pointed out a location on the surveillance map, it was a complete guess, and the mission depended on this vital piece of information.

Answer: He proved to her she was not physically fit by testing her injured knee.

It was a tough realization, but Starbuck wasn't physically ready to get back into a cockpit. Her injured knee couldn't take the force needed to operate her Viper. Instead, she watched from the Galactica, learning a whole new lesson on the field of command.

Answer: a lighter

Originally owned by Lee's grandfather, Joseph Adama, Bill Adama gave his son the lighter that had been passed down to him. Lee promised to bring it back (implying that he would survive the mission), and Adama said, "You better. [...] It's a good lighter."

Answer: False

Even though the Cylons did send a good number of Raiders to scope out the three ships that had suddenly appeared to them, they had several reinforcements left back at the base. When Galactica sent its first wave of Vipers to wipe out the Cylon base, fifty Cylon Raiders were dispatched to intercept them. The Vipers were outnumbered five to one and suffered severe casualties as a result.

Answer: They activated a squadron of Vipers planted on the decoy.

The hinges popped off one of the freighters to reveal several Vipers deploying to the Cylon base. The trick ships had provided them with not only a decoy, but a means to hold the Vipers once the Cylons sent their fighters back to attack Galactica. As Starbuck said, "The backdoor [was] open."

Answer: He took an alternate route through a narrow conveyor belt.

Apollo's feat was quite daring, considering there was no way to ensure that the conveyor belt led into the base. In the fashion of Starbuck, he took a risk and succeeded. The base was destroyed and the fleet would have enough fuel for two years.

Answer: God

"All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again." Six quoted Pythian scripture to Baltar, who after some thought, saw that God had led his hand to that spot on the map. He had wanted the base destroyed to fulfill fate. After Six had convinced him that this incident was no chance coincidence, Baltar said in full confidence, "I am an instrument of God."
