Battlestar Galactica- Season 3 Trivia Questions

1. Aboard Galactica, a group reads Jammer a list of crimes he committed while part of the New Caprica Police, and then finds him guilty of those charges. How do they end up carrying out the sentence?

From Quiz
3.05 "Collaborators"

Answer: Sending him out of the airlock

Jammer originally signed up for the New Caprica Police in order to help people, which Tigh is not impressed by. He pleads for his life, telling Tyrol that he helped save Cally's life when she was supposed to be up against a firing squad. However, because others were killed under his command, including Charlie Connor's son, he is still sentenced to death for his actions by being sent out of the airlock of a Viper tube.

2. In response to Duck's suicide bombing at the graduation ceremony, the Cylons use the NCP to arrest and detain a list of people for "colluding with the insurgency." What notable former member of Galactica's crew is taken?

From Quiz 3.02 "Precipice"

Answer: Cally

Jammer, who survived the suicide bomb and was seen digging his way out from several bodies in a deleted scene, is met by Cavil. He gets a list of humans to round up and put in the detention center that includes Cally. During the night, the New Caprica Police goes around to the tents, and they take Cally from her bed with Nicky crying in his crib. At some point later, Chief Tyrol returns to his tent to find Nicky still crying and Cally gone.

3. Apollo loses the first match we see in this episode. To whom does he lose the match?

From Quiz "Battlestar Galactica" 3.09 - "Unfinished Business

Answer: Helo

The first match is between Helo and Apollo, which Apollo loses. Later in the episode we see both Hotdog and Admiral Adama take on different partners.

4. In the opening we see officers on Galactica scrounging for food. What has happened to their food production?

From Quiz "Battlestar Galactica" 3.10 - "The Passage"

Answer: The food supply became contaminated

All we learn is that the food is contaminated, we never learn how.

5. What is the Eye of Jupiter?

From Quiz "Battlestar Galactica" - 3.11 "The Eye of Jupiter"

Answer: A mysterious object that points the way to Earth

While reading from a text, Roslin even admits that not much is known about the Eye of Jupiter other than it points the way to Earth.

6. The group that put Jammer on "trial" called themselves The Circle. Who is *not* a member of that group?

From Quiz 3.05 "Collaborators"

Answer: Tom Zarek

Although President Zarek authorized The Circle during his short time in the office, he was never actually part of the group. Tigh, Seelix, and Tyrol were accompanied by Anders, Barolay, and Charlie Connor. As is seen later in the episode, The Circle requires six members to operate, because when Anders quits they require a new member and recruit Starbuck to create a quorum.

7. The first step of the rescue plan is to scatter the Cylon fleet around New Caprica and create confusion. How is this accomplished?

From Quiz 3.04 "Exodus, Pt. 2"

Answer: Drones are launched to appear as both battlestars in orbit

A small group of Vipers protect Galactica's Raptors while they fire drones in two separate groups that show up on both human and Cylon DRADIS as battlestars. On Colonial One, the ploy is confirmed by Boomer until a phone call much further on to D'Anna shows they are just drones. With Raiders and base stars on opposite sides of the planet, the Cylons and scattered and confused as to the actual location of the human fleet.

8. As 'Precipice' ends, Cally is seen running away from the Cylon firing squad as we hear gunfire when the screen goes to black. In 'Exodus', what do we find out is the source of the gunfire?

From Quiz 3.03 "Exodus, Pt. 1"

Answer: The resistance squad

As Cally runs off into the woods at the end of 'Precipice', we hear gunfire and are left to assume that the Cylon firing squad has opened fire on the detainees. Instead, Tyrol tackles Cally as she is in the line of fire, and the resistance squad opens fire on the Cylon firing squad, taking out the Centurions. They also kill most of the humanoid Cylons except for one Cavil, who Barolay leaves shot on the ground writhing in pain.

9. Sam Anders and Chief Tyrol are shown preparing an explosive before they quickly retreat behind a crate. Soon after, they detonate the bomb, killing several humanoid Cylons as well as what else?

From Quiz 3.01 "Occupation"

Answer: A Heavy Raider

The two insurgents wait until they see two Centurions, three Sixes, an Eight, and two Fours until they detonate the device. There is a long delay before the explosive goes off, after which everyone else in the city notices the explosion. Leoben can't help but comment "Frakking insurgents" when he sees the smoke rising from the detonation, and Tigh brings it up later, approving of the destruction of the Heavy Raider.

10. When Tyrol and Jammer meet with Duck in regards to joining the resistance, Duck makes it seem like he would join if not for other plans. What are they?

From Quiz The Resistance

Answer: He is trying to have a child with his wife

Duck and his wife Nora say in the first episode that they are working on having their first child, but he still shows promise as a recruit for the resistance due to his reaction to the New Caprica Police. In the second episode, he uses having the child as his reason for not wanting to join the resistance. Colonel Tigh does not accept this, and tells Jammer to make a stronger push to get Duck to join.

11. Who discovered the algae planet?

From Quiz "Battlestar Galactica" 3.10 - "The Passage"

Answer: Sharon "Athena" Valeri

Athena discovered the planet but became very sick in the process. Maybe the Cylons tried too hard to become Human.

12. In the opening of the episode, a Raptor pilot dangerously lands near the base of operations on the algae planet. Who is the pilot?

From Quiz "Battlestar Galactica" - 3.11 "The Eye of Jupiter"

Answer: Starbuck

Starbuck says marriage is sacred and that they made their choices.

13. In what appears to be Colonial One, Admiral Adama, Colonel Tigh, and Laura Roslin all tell Baltar that he was put into an impossible situation and did the best he could. The dream sequence ends when what surprising event happens?

From Quiz 3.05 "Collaborators"

Answer: Roslin kisses Baltar

Just after the three leaders of the fleet agree that there will be no hard feelings between them and Baltar, Six walks into the room and calls them fools for forgetting what he has done. Adama even appears to respond to something Six says, which shocks Baltar. Shortly before Roslin leans in to kiss him, Baltar realizes he is dreaming and in fact not aboard Colonial One. As soon as their lips touch, he wakes up on a Base Star.

14. The second part of the rescue plan is to get Galactica's Vipers over New Caprica City and in a position to aid the resistance and civilian ships ready to take off. What does Adama do to pull this off?

From Quiz 3.04 "Exodus, Pt. 2"

Answer: Jumps Galactica into the atmosphere and launches the Vipers in free fall

Up to this point, Galactica had not seen any action, but Adama gives the odd order of "All hands, brace for turbulence" when Kelly and Helo report the ship is ready to jump. Just as the Cylons find out the "battlestars" are actually drones, Galactica jumps into the high atmosphere of New Caprica and starts a complete free fall over the city. Vipers are launched through the flames of the atmospheric friction, and all Hot Dog can say is, "Well, this ought to be different." Galactica then jumps out at the last second having sustained heavy damage from the entire ordeal.

15. In her replica apartment cell, Starbuck is still fed up with Leoben. Wanting to show her how precious life can be, he brings in a little girl named Kacey and introduces her to Starbuck. What relation does he say the two have?

From Quiz 3.02 "Precipice"

Answer: Starbuck is her mother

As Leoben begins to ascend the stairs, he asks Starbuck if she remembers the farm on Caprica. When she remarks she remembered blowing it up, he claims it was not a total loss and they were able to save one of her ovaries. He then brings in a blonde girl in his arms, and introduces Kacey to her by saying that Starbuck is her mother.

16. During the night, Tigh, Tyrol, Jammer, and Jean Barolay move the remaining weapons the resistance has into their new hiding spot in the temple. Why did they choose that location?

From Quiz The Resistance

Answer: The Cylons do not go in because it is sacred ground

During the first two webisodes, Tigh and Tyrol talk about how one of their members had been killed by the Cylons for harboring weapons and that they need a new hiding spot. They choose to hide the remainder of their weapons in the temple because the Cylons respect it as sacred ground, despite Jammer's protests to the contrary. The resistance leaders see it as the perfect opportunity to hide weapons where the Cylons have proven not to go.

17. Who was leading the groundbreaking ceremony on New Caprica after they had been there for 123 days?

From Quiz "Battlestar Galactica" 3.09 - "Unfinished Business

Answer: President Baltar

This was a pivotal moment on New Caprica since this brough Apollo and Starbuck together, immediately leading to her marriage to Anders.

18. Apollo makes a suggestion to Starbuck during the beginning of the episode but Starbuck immediately dismisses it. What was the suggestion?

From Quiz "Battlestar Galactica" - 3.11 "The Eye of Jupiter"

Answer: They should both get a divorce

Starbuck says that marriage is sacred, they made their decisions, and she will not get a divorce

19. President Zarek, having taken office following the disappearance of President Baltar, meets with Laura Roslin aboard Colonial One. There, they discuss the political future of the fleet. What does Zarek tell her his plan is?

From Quiz 3.05 "Collaborators"

Answer: He would name her Vice President and resign

Zarek does not waste a moment in telling Roslin that he will nominate her as Vice President and will resign immediately, allowing her to become President once again. Admiral Adama made it clear to him that the military would not support his new presidency, so he really had no choice. In exchange for this quick transition, Roslin agrees to name him Vice President.

20. Adama decides that he will send Sharon down to New Caprica as his liaison officer with the resistance. He and Lee argue about the decision, during which Admiral Adama brings up a reason why she might be able to circumvent Cylon defenses. What is it?

From Quiz 3.02 "Precipice"

Answer: Centurions cannot distinguish between different Cylons of the same model

During Adama and Lee's walk through the corridors of Galactica arguing about the rescue mission and Sharon, Adama brings up something we had never heard before: Centurions cannot distinguish different Cylons of the same model - for example, Sharon Agathon and Boomer would look exactly the same to them, while the two Cylons would know exactly who the other was. The Cylons did this so that the Centurions would not become self-aware and begin refusing orders from certain Cylons, thereby preventing their own rebellion like that of the Cylons against the humans.

21. By the end of the groundbreaking festivities Apollo visits the future sight of a cabin on New Caprica with which Galactica officer?

From Quiz "Battlestar Galactica" 3.09 - "Unfinished Business

Answer: Kara Thrace

It is during this scene that they confess their love for each other and spend the night together.

22. During the first jump into the star cluster a ship is lost. What was that ship's name?

From Quiz "Battlestar Galactica" 3.10 - "The Passage"

Answer: Adriatic

Cloud 9 was destroyed in season two's final episode and the Pegasus was destroyed during the exodus from New Caprica. Agamemnon is not a vessel known in the "Galactica" universe.

23. During negotiations Athena meets Boomer in the corridor. What does Boomer tell Athena?

From Quiz "Battlestar Galactica" - 3.11 "The Eye of Jupiter"

Answer: Her daughter is still alive

Boomer, the Cylon who shot then-Commander Adama, explains how Baltar found Hera on New Caprica and brought her to the Basestar. She goes further to explain that Hera is sick and they don't know why.

24. Aboard Galactica, the crews perform a ceremony and the two Adamas have what they fear might be their final meeting. How long does Admiral Adama tell Lee to stay at the rendezvous point until he should leave to find Earth with the fleet?

From Quiz 3.03 "Exodus, Pt. 1"

Answer: 18 hours

The crews meet together on the Galactica hangar deck and someone pours a line of salt. Pegasus crewmembers get on the port side and Galactica on the starboard while Racetrack reads a passage. When she finishes, they wipe away at the line and then embrace. When that is done, the Adama father and son meet next to a Raptor, and Admiral Adama tells Lee to wait 18 hours at the rendezvous point until he leaves to find Earth again. Adama promises that though he may be old and slow, he won't miss the rendezvous.

25. During Adama and Lee's argument, Lee argues the entire rescue mission is a bad idea and says the human race is now those civilians still in the fleet. What order does Adama give Lee in response?

From Quiz 3.02 "Precipice"

Answer: Continue the search for Earth with Pegasus and the civilian fleet

While Adama and Lee are arguing, Lee makes the case that the safe bet for the human race is now the 2,000 civilians still in the fleet that they already have. He sees the rescue mission as a lost cause, since even though the Cylons have reduced their perimeter forces, they still have five base stars in orbit around New Caprica. Adama says they have a responsibility to those they left behind, and then tells Lee to take Pegasus and the fleet to continue the search for Earth.

26. Tyrol and the resistance have been getting new information from an unknown source (who we later find to be Gaeta) inside Baltar's government. What signal does Gaeta use in order to let them know new documents have been left at the dead drop?

From Quiz 3.01 "Occupation"

Answer: A flipped-over dog bowl

Roslin writes in her journal that they have been getting information from someone inside Baltar's government, but they do not know who. During her voiceover, a shadowy figure who we later learn is Gaeta puts a document in a desk drawer and then flips over a dog bowl nearby. Tyrol retrieves it later in the night, and the title reads: "New Caprica Police Academy Graduation Ceremony Security Plans."

27. Cally, Tyrol, and Jammer are all present to tell Duck the news. He has a short outburst against the gods, and then asks Tyrol if there were weapons at the temple. What is his first response?

From Quiz The Resistance

Answer: "It doesn't matter, the Cylons thought there were"

Knowing that the Cylons had killed a resistance member for harboring weapons earlier, Duck wants to know if the resistance had used the temple to hide weapons. Tyrol initially responds that it didn't matter because they Cylons thought there were. Duck does not accept this answer, and calls out Tyrol for avoiding the question. Tyrol then admits that there were weapons at the temple.

28. Who were married the morning after the groundbreaking ceremony?

From Quiz "Battlestar Galactica" 3.09 - "Unfinished Business

Answer: Starbuck and Anders

Starbuck races to him early in the morning, proposes to him, and is married before Apollo even knows she is missing.
