I note as far as a woman 'condoning' rape (and torture), the CO of the Abu Ghraib prison was female during the period that has been prosecuted. (Aside from reassignment, she wasn't brought up on charges or anything, as is true of any other officers who could be construed to have command of the situation.)
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

he's admitting to himself that he's not special, there's no Cylon chip in his head, he's simply half-mad and it's time to deal with that.
Oh, I think it's way too late to deal with it. It seemed like the point of his little subplot in "Home" was that he's, er, committing to the crazy. So to speak. I think that he used to be more fully aware that she was a hallucination, but he played along because, hey, why not. But now that knowledge is partitioned off in a very dark corner of his head, because at this point, having a scary Cylon girlfriend living in his head is less scary than acknowledging the extent of his dementia, and the reasons for it.
Plus, I don't think a sane Baltar would be nearly as useful to the show, so I can't imagine why they'd decrazify him.

If I only had a brain...
Baltar bores me.

I can't imagine why they'd decrazify him.
I agree that successfully decrazifying him would be a bad idea, but I do think he needs another note to play, and an attempted decrazifying seems a natural step for him to want to take.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The next note appears to be watching over the Boomerlet when she's born. Or mabye before that he'll be making a grab for more power (as Six is pushing him towards). Also, Roslyn might die and then he'd be the president (fun!), so I think they got some more notes lined up for him to play. Oh, and also Cylon therapist.
I will be sad if Roslyn dies. The actress is so great.

Maybe he needs a soul? (duck, run)

An LJ acquaintance suggests that Roslyn is actually the Cylon God (without knowing it) and that there'll be a miraculous healing.

I don't see that. I mean, aside from her visions. What else supports this?

THERE WILL BE NO ROSLIN DEATH. Seriously, I'm not rational about this, since she's my favorite character on the show. I can't quite think of a way Ron Moore can pull off a miracle cure without it being deeply WTF, but hey, there is a reason why I don't write TV shows for living.
Baltar's been growing on me, sort of like toe fungus. I think his killing Crashdown was the turning point.

Well, I don't know why I'm not worried that the Chief is dead. . . but I'm not.
Of course, he could be. .. the order has been given.
But. . .
they wouldn't kill the Chief, right?

Maybe Boomer knows a Cylon cure for cancer [eta and execution! Cylon cures for all!].
