Cally consoles Tyrol over Tarn's death. They arrive too late with the medical kit; Diana Seelix tells them Socinus's death is inevitable and suggests euthanasia. Tyrol is horrified at first but ultimately agrees. As he administers the lethal dosage to his subordinate, Tyrol smiles and tells Socinus a rescue party has arrived, and they are "going home."
flashback
of Tigh's set decades before the events of the series, at the same time as his flashbacks in "Scattered", Adama relates how Cylons boarded Galactica during the First Cylon War and tried to vent the air. This was to be how Tigh recognized the strategy.
In another deleted scene, when Apollo calls the CIC, Tigh tries to relieve Apollo of his command of the Marines and tells him, "You've been a disappointment your entire life." Only after Apollo refuses multiple times does Tigh order him to intercept the Centurions. This would have been paired with additional dialogue between Tigh and Apollo in sickbay. Apollo would have asked whether his father called him a disappointment. Tigh would have replied that the elder Adama thought the world of Lee and that Tigh didn't understand why Apollo had sided with Roslin over his father during the coup.
In a third deleted scene, Head Six tells Baltar that of the humans in the fleet only he will live to see Earth.
commentary on "Valley of Darkness", Moore discusses his views of the symbolism appearing in the episode.
The episode's title appears in a line spoken by Samuel L. Jackson
's character Jules Winnfield in the film Pulp Fiction
: "Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children." In the film, Winnfield claims that this comes from the Book of Ezekiel
, but it is actually fabricated from other phrases in the Bible.
According to Moore, the production and post-production for "Valley of Darkness" was unusually contentious; it and "The Farm
" were the most contentious episodes of the second season.
The piano piece Starbuck and Helo listen to is Philip Glass
's "Metamorphisis Five". It is reprised at the end of the episode. Glass's music was often used for temp tracks during production of the series. The microcassette
format she uses is an homage to the film A Clockwork Orange
.
When Tyrol and Cally rejoin the others, they use a kind of challenge-response authentication
in which one party says "flash" and the other "thunder". These were the challenge and password, respectively, used by Allied
soldiers on D-Day
during World War II

. The symbolism is intended to contextualize the magnitude of the threat to the baby Baltar is supposed to perceive. - Baltar comments that Six's description of human sacrifice on Kobol differs greatly from the accounts of the in-universe Scriptures, which describe the planet as a paradise. Moore connects this with the Biblical story of the Garden of EdenGarden of EdenThe Garden of Eden is in the Bible's Book of Genesis as being the place where the first man, Adam, and his wife, Eve, lived after they were created by God. Literally, the Bible speaks about a garden in Eden...
. As in the case of Eden, he says, humanity was driven out of paradise as divine punishment for its sins, except Kobol was home to "a more brutal, ugly kind of sin than simply getting some fruit off of some old tree that you weren't supposed to be snacking on."

Production
Much of the action in "Valley of Darkness" set on Kobol and Caprica was originally written as part of "Scattered". This produced a script that was too long for one episode but too short for two. The Cylon boarding party plot was conceived to fill enough time for a full second episode.According to Moore, the production and post-production for "Valley of Darkness" was unusually contentious; it and "The Farm

" were the most contentious episodes of the second season.
- After most of the shooting had concluded, the episode was viewed as too heavy. Moore and executive producer David EickDavid EickDavid Eick is an American producer and writer, best known as the Executive Producer of Battlestar Galactica, of which he also wrote several episodes with Ronald D.

responded by adding the scenes between Dee and Billy before and after the crisis. Moore felt that these "bookends" provide better context for their relationship at the expense of sense of urgency in the episode's first minutes. The scene between Tyrol and Cally and some extra time between Starbuck and Helo on Caprica were also added to lighten the mood. - The drowning scene was controversial because of its perceived brutality, but Moore and Eick fought to keep it in the episode. Ultimately the scene was shot and edited to minimize the screen presence of the drowning itself. Moore acknowledged that the scene would disturb some viewers but enjoyed the way it advanced the show's mythos.
- Socinus's death was controversial because of its emotional impact, but Moore considered it an important part of the episode. He had second thoughts about including it after learning that actor Aaron DouglasAaron Douglas (actor)Aaron Douglas is a Canadian actor. He is best known for his role as Galen Tyrol on the Sci Fi Channel's television program Battlestar Galactica....
(Tyrol) had suffered a personal loss, but Douglas "really embraced it. He really wanted to do these scenes." Asked in a December 2005 interview what was the most difficult scene in the series to shoot, Douglas said, "The scenes where someone dies in the Chief's arms are difficult to do because they take a really long time to shoot and you are constantly in a state of loss and sadness. They are very draining." - Moore pushed for the scenes between Tigh and Apollo that were ultimately deleted to be included but changed his mind after they had been filmed. He called that element of the script "a misstep".
