Quotes 

• Adama : [narrating]  The great ship, Galactica, majestic and loving, strong and protecting. Our home for these many years we've endured the wilderness of space. And now we near the end of our journey. Scouts and electronic surveillance confirm that we have reached our haven, that planet which is home to our ancestor brothers. Too many of our sons and daughters did not survive to share the fulfillment of our dream. We can only take comfort and find strength in that they did not die in vain.

  [cut to Adama at his desk] 

  Adama : We have at last found Earth.

• Adama : Each of your teams has been programmed to take you to scattered areas on Earth. Your entry patterns will bring you into Earth's atmosphere in unpopulated zones. And your navigational computrons will guide you over the safest possible routes toward population centers. Ultimately, you will encounter people on Earth. You have been briefed on how to conduct yourselves. May God go with you.

• Dr. Zee : We cannot land.

  Adama : Dr. Zee... how can I tell my people that... that we cannot end our journey? All those who survived, all those who were born in space as you were. We are here! We are within reach of Earth.

  Dr. Zee : So are our enemies.

  Adama : Our enemies? We haven't seen the forces of the Cylon Alliance in a billion star miles.

  Dr. Zee : Because they haven't wanted us to know they were there.

  Adama : What are you saying?

  Dr. Zee : That they simply let us lead them to the last remaining humans in the universe, the people of Earth, in order to destroy them.

  Adama : No... what have I done? I led them here!
