Battlestar Galactica's 15 Biggest Plot Twists And Reveals
12. D’Anna Biers Has A Secret (Final Cut—Season 2, Episode 8)
In the
episode Final Cut, journalist D’Anna Biers comes to Galactica to film a
documentary about the military crew. Struggling
with their public image, Commander Adama and President Roslin surprise everyone
by giving her unfettered access, and permission to report the facts as she sees
them.
Over the course of her investigation, D’Anna does see one thing that Commander Adama insists she keep quiet—the birth of Sharon Valerii’s baby. Given that Sharon is a known Cylon who is thought by the public to be dead, this is a significant story. But D'Anna doesn’t include that information in her documentary, and the film ultimately tells its story in a way that honors the crew and affirms their commitment to duty and sacrifice.
In the end, it’s the audience who get the final scoop—D’Anna is a Cylon. A battle earlier with a couple of Raiders was really a cover-up for getting the documentary footage to the Cylons themselves. As several Cylons watch the footage, they are overjoyed to learn that Sharon Valerii is still alive, and that her baby has been born safely.
