Summary: While on the algea planet, The Temple of Five is discovered, which could provide a path towards Earth. Their attempt to unlock its secret is interrupted by the arrival of the Cylons. When their lives are bartered for the sake of giving up the temple, Adama must decide whether the loss of it and the ground team, including his son, are worth sacrificing to ensure that the Cylons don't find Earth.

Episode Quotes

Season 3 / Episode 11: - The Eye of Jupiter (1)

Brother Cavil: We have a stand-off, very predictable. They have the Eye and they'll nuke it if we try to take it, and we'll shoot them down if they try bringing it up to Galactica.
Leoben Conoy: Are we sure that they have it? How do we know they're not bluffing?
Dr. Gaius Baltar: You don't.
D'Anna Biers: We Threes feel that we can't afford to take the chance.
Brother Cavil: I think we're missing the big picture here. We have the oppotunity to rid the universe of the human pestilence, once and for all.
Number Six: We can discuss that after we get the Eye of Jupiter, after we find the path to Earth.
Brother Cavil: Let me point out that it doesn't matter if we find Earth in five days, or if we find Earth in five thousand years. We're machines. We'll still be around to savor the great miracle. So let them destroy the Eye, if indeed they have it. We have to take advantage of the situation and take down Galactica once and for all... or we could stand here and do nothing.

Season 3 / Episode 11: - The Eye of Jupiter (1)

Dr. Gaius Baltar: Can't believe how much I actually miss this place.
Number Six: You know you can't return. They'd toss you out the nearest airlock and then throw a party!

TRIVIA

The version of the episode that was shown at the Landmark Theatre in Atlanta was unfinished. Two visual effects were missing. In one scene, two surface-to-air missiles were fired at Kara's Raptor by the Cylons. Instead of seeing the finished version, the Atlanta audience saw a green screen with descriptive text. (This is similar to the deleted scenes from the DVD sets.)
Human Survivor Count: 41,402
According to writer Jane Espenson, the original title of this episode was "Eye of Zeus".
