That was some good stuff.
I'm thinking Lee is going to need some therapy sessions with Baltar.
Also, Laura must not die. I just know they are going to kill her off and make me cry and stuff.

Our wings are not tired.

OK, so somehow Sharon's baby and Laura's survival will be tied together, yeah? Or is that too obvious?
That's what it looks like. Which cool to not kill off Laura, but they'll just rip my heart out with the killing of the Evil!Sprog instead.

I was thinking it would be Laura lives only if baby lives. Or, baby saves Laura, baby lives.
Or, on a fundamental level, forcing her to terminate her pregnancy=wrong. And, hey, bonus - we can save Laura now.
Maybe it'll just be Conflicted!sprog.
Bottom line - SOMEBODY SAVE LAURA!

a bit of taking-the-easy-way-out-of-the-corner-we've-painted-ourselves-into plotting?
A little, but... the easy way out wouldn't have had Adama and Cain both decide against the assassination plans. And Cain wouldn't have been at all sympathetic, and Starbuck wouldn't have been bitter afterwards. The tidiest solution is Cain gives the kill order, Fisk refuses, Starbuck arrests Cain righteously, and then Gina solves the problem. Then the good guys and bad guys are very clear.
I mean, I don't think they took the easy way out to avoid moral complications, and that's what would have bothered me. Making use of an escape hatch is balanced out if you pay for it by screwing everyone up. More.
That said, I do kinda need Roslin to die. I love her, but... that's not a good enough reason.

Is so. I pout in your general direction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Plus, at some point I think they have to give us some Baltar presidential wackiness. And remember, Baltar still has his own nuke.
Strega - Jan 13, 2006 7:24:10 pm PST #6462 of 10001
Yeah, Roslin's absence would create all kinds of craziness. Billy, and Zarek (where IS Zarek, btw? I wanted them to drag him over to the Pegasus and say, "For future reference, this is what a military dictatorship looks like.") and Baltar, and wackiness everywhere.
Is so. I pout in your general direction.Aw. Well, your love might be a good enough reason! It's just, mine isn't. I'm know no casting spoilers, but I had half-assumed that she'd be gone after this season and so she'd die around ep. 19 for maximum hellaciousness.
God, that battle was so damn pretty. And the reflections! Yow.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Last week it took forever for us to watch BSG. We had to stop and discuss everything. And I knew I was wrong when I agreed that Cain had to be assinated - that goes against my normal way of thinking.
This week we watched as fast as possible. And we were both glad Six took Cain out.
BTW, Kara was wrong - the Pegasus was not alone - They had civilian ships around them. Cain chose to strip them.
If there hadn't been previews I would have had no idea what was going to happen next week. the little hint from Sharon's question wasn't enough.
the battle was lovely.
I am wondering how the 2 eps would have been back to back.

But does Kara know that? Does anyone on Galactica who isn't Tigh, Adama, or Roslin?
And why does this show have me hooked after only watching a few episodes?!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I don't think Kara knows. But Her thought that they were safer with Cain than without Cain - based on a flawed premise. Cain was not the stronger leader, because the ship surrived on its own. More people died under her command.
