Commercials. In the podcast, Moore and Eick explain that the "Topography's for pansies" line was originally "Topography's for pussies." Also, Adama originally told Billy that President Adar was a prick. Moore's description of how he tried to defend both terms to Standards & Practices is rather entertaining. They should take a page from Profit, and put something completely gratuitous in the episodes, so that they can make deals like, "Well, if we cut Baltar's panty-sniffing scene, can we keep the word 'prick'?"

It's daytime, and as they trudge through the forest, Helo asks, "How much further?" Boomer corrects him, "'Farther,'" and explains, "'Farther' describes actual distance. Further is more figurative." This leads to banter about Boomer's being smarter than Helo, which isn't that big an achievement. Especially since, while "further" is more commonly used to describe abstracts, it's not incorrect to use it to describe physical distances. In fact, the attempt to distinguish the two seems to be limited to the United States. Anyway, Helo finally says, "The baby can have your brains as long as he gets my looks." Boomer smirks, "That'd be a real blessing for her." Helo confirms that the baby's a girl. And they walk on. That was enlivening. They left this in, but they cut a bit later where Billy tells the Prez that he's an atheist. That scene sounded funnier, honestly.

Elsewhere in the marching order, Starbuck is yapping to the Prez about her visit to Caprica. She thinks the Cylons have plans for Caprica, since they're clearing out the bodies and rebuilding. She burbles that there's also a human resistance there, plus there's this guy who's like, so totally cool, and almost completely devoid of personality! Starbuck thinks that the fleet should put together some kind of rescue mission for the survivors on Caprica. The Prez interrupts to say that she's grateful for Starbuck's help, but right now, she can't think about anything but finding the tomb. With a dismissive "Thank you," she walks on while Starbuck sulks.
