## Summary

The episode's title is a pun on Battlestar Galactica, an American science fiction franchise.

## Plot

Despite the Rick and Morty creators having a stance against time travelling adventures, this episode contains a large amount of it.

The time travel plot on a snake planet is a nod to the Terminator Franchise.

It's revealed that Beth does not keep Jerry's number stored in her phone.

Jerry is attacked by an American White Pelican while he’s floaty, but it makes the sound of a seagull, rather than a pelican. Ornithologists are not pleased.

This is the third time Morty C-137 is caught masturbating. Previously, Summer caught him in the kitchen in “Total Rickall”, and Ass Faced Morty is caught beating off in the title sequence of Season 3. In this episode, a snake attempts to kill him while he is masturbating in his room.
