Battlestar Galactica: Season Three

Previously on Battlestar Galactica ...

Laura Roslin, thwarted in her efforts to seal the election from a man she suspects is somehow in collusion with the Cylon, loses her presidency to Giaus Baltar, who promised safe refuge from the Cylons by settling on the recently discovered habitable planet called New Caprica. However, after a year of enduring harsh conditions and suffering under Baltar’s self-indulgent government, the fleet’s worst fears are realized when the Cylons discover their hiding place.

With the Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus helpless in the face of the arrival of a full Cylon fleet, the Colonists are left to fend for themselves as Adama and Apollo are forced to jump away with the remaining fleet in order to save themselves, but vow to return. The Cylons offer President Baltar on dubious chance for survival: surrender and co-exist “peacefully” under Cylon rule or be annihilated.
