Notes from the BSG
chronology
The beginning episode starts on the 67th day of Cylon
occupation, so 67 days after the arrival of the Cylons at the
end of "Lay Down Your Burdens"
Part 2.
Didja Know?
"The Resistance" is made up of ten 2-3 minute webisodes which
ran twice a week during the five weeks before the premiere of Season Three
of the TV series. The
original title of this story was "Crossroads", but was changed
to "The Resistance". The titles are confusing in many ways, as
the last two episodes of Season Three were titled "Crossroads"
Parts 1 and 2 and there was an episode in Season Two titled
"Resistance".

Didja Notice?
Through the course of this episode, we see that in their time on
New Caprica, Tyrol and Cally have married and now have a baby
son, Nicholas Steven Tyrol.
During Jammer's interrogation by Number Five, the level of juice
in the bottle provided by Number Five to Jammer keeps changing
from shot to shot.
When Jammer is released from his interrogation at the New
Caprica Detention Center, Tyrol is waiting for him outside,
saying that Boomer told him. Is he referring to the resurrected
Boomer and is she, therefore, one of the Cylons present on New
Caprica for the occupation? Later episodes of Season Three show
that Boomer is, indeed, present as part of the Cylon occupying
force.
Barolay tells Tigh, Tyrol, and Jammer that Anders has found them
a source of ammonium nitrate. Ammonium
nitrate is mostly used as an agricultural fertilizer, but is
also highly explosive in combination with other explosive
chemicals.
