Six of One (Battlestar Galactica)

"Six of One" is the second episode of the fourth season of the reimagined science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica.

The episode's name appears to be a play off the idiom "six of one, half a dozen of the other" meaning two presented choices are equal and it does not matter which is chosen.

Feeling betrayed, Starbuck tells Roslin to take the gun and shoot her if she can't trust her.

To prevent this from happening, one of the Six models (known as Natalie) removes the higher brain inhibitors from the Centurions which gives them free will.

Lee Adama leaves Galactica to start his new political career, but not before telling Starbuck he believes her.

In the end, she is taken to a hangar, where to her surprise, she is given a ship, the Demetrius and a team including Helo, Athena, Anders and Gaeta to find Earth.

[3] Regardless, Sci-Fi selected "Six of One" as its official 2008 Emmy Awards submission for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series and the episode was nominated in the category.

[4] "Six of One" was also chosen as the official entry screening for Katee Sackhoff (who plays Kara/Starbuck) as best supporting actress in a dramatic series.

The episode was praised for its return of Brother Cavil, stating "the veteran TV actor is always a welcome presence, and does a great job as the rather cynical Cylon."
