Season 3- Episode:
“Exodus Part 2”
Ezekiel 16
Matthew 5:38-39
You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for
eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But
I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right
cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
Compare and contrast
the Bible passages and the film.
Reflect on the
conversation between Lee and his wife concerning Lee’s father.
Reflect on this
quote: “our job is to find Earth…that is our charge to keep.”
One of the themes of
the entire show is about survival. Humanity seeks to survive. But it never
stops and asks whether it
deserves to survive. How does that theme reveal
itself in these scenes?
Do you think
humanity ‘deserves’ to survive? Why or why not?
How does Ezekiel
reflect upon this question?
Reflect on Saul’s
decision concerning his wife.
Compare and contrast
the betrayal of God’s wife and Saul’s?
Reflect on this
quote: “I had to do it Saul…I HAD TO.”
How often do you
think people justify ‘eye for eye’ with sentiments like this?
What do you think of
Ellen’s sacrifice and ‘payment’ for Saul?
Reflect upon the
scene with Saul’s wife dead at her hand, proclaiming his love for her.
Compare this to the
tone of the Ezekiel passage.
What is the
conversation between Three and Gaius about the need for the Cylons to leave?
Reflect on this
quote: “blood for blood…it has to stop one day” in light of the Matthew passage.
Reflect on this
quote: “nothing… all for nothing.”
What is Gaius
‘prayer’ as the city falls?
How is this like the
vision of Ezekiel?
What is the final
exodus from the city like?
What is the
significance of the promise of a return from exile in Ezekiel?
What do you think of
Lee’s decision to disobey his father and put the last vestiges of humanity at
risk to save those on New Caprica?
Reflect on this
quote: “you were right and we were wrong…there should be some reward for that.”
How were the prophets
‘rewarded’ for being right about Babylon?
Many would say this
is why Biblical religion exists, because of the prophetic proclamation of
Babylon’s ascendency and
the end fact that they turned out to be right. Reflect
upon this.
Reflect on this
quote: “I just want to sit here and die.”
What do you think of
Geta’s description of himself and of Gaius?
How does this
compare to the figure of Israel in Ezekiel?
Reflect on this
quote: “you are an idealist…there is no sin in that. Everything you say about
me is true, every word.”
Compare Geta’s
idealism to Jesus’.
What do you think of
the Cylon’s need to force Cara to say she loves him?
Compare and contrast
this with God’s attitude in Ezekiel.
What happens when
Gaius sees the baby?
Reflect on this
quote: “it’s a miracle…God spared her.”
What happens to
Three when she holds the baby?
What do you think of
what the Cylons did to Cara regarding Casey?
How did Casey affect
Cara?
What did losing her
do to Cara?
Reflect on the
ending of EXODUS PART 2
