Synopisis

Dylan Hunt and his crew are badly injured, the Andromeda Ascendant damaged - and Harper and Tyr were captured by the Magog.

Sequel to Its Hour Come 'Round At Last (1x22)
The physical superiority of Tyr as a Nietzschean: whereas he survived the removal of the Magog larvae, Harper would have died.
In To Loose The Faithful Lightning (1x03) Harper mentioned that his two cousins Siobhand and Declan was also infected by Magog larvae. They had to be killed before the larvae could hatch. It's Harper's worst nightmare.

The episode's title is the beginning of William Butler Yeats' (1865-1939) poem Second Coming:

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;"

Nitpicks: Beka is able to reanimate Dylan through his cuirass(?) & On the medicine deck Harper is sometimes wearung shoes and sometimes not. (German Source)
