BSG: They really went out with a bang didn't they?
Yes, that was a cradle, for not!Boomers baby, I presume.
My question is what gave Adama the right to arrest Roslin?
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

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.

My question is what gave Adama the right to arrest Roslin?
That whole plotline fell apart for me. My overall feeling about this show is that it's often pretty and sometimes arresting, but not often sensical.

I've been dying for reactions, people!
And that gorgeous music I loved in last week's teaser was repeated in that scene, except in waltz beat. MUST HAVE THE SOUNDTRACK RIGHT NOW.
This is what I was saying.

Which can be used to describe another sci-fi show discussed in here from time to time.
Perhaps more than one.
And now I shall leave the thread for fear of spoilage.

My question is what gave Adama the right to arrest Roslin?
I didn't see it as a right so much as, "The people with the guns will do what I say, and the President just Pissed. Me. Off." Or, you know, almost all of them. There's that pesky son...
I love that by the end of the series I was all, "Wha-?" with just about everyone's actions. Flailing. People are flailing. Love.
ETA: Love, because the people are in the weirdest of circumstances so their f-ed up behavior actually makes sense to me.

Nicely put, Jen.

Day-um.
I can't believe we've got to wait 'til sometime in July for whatever is next.
Definitely a baby in the Not!Cradle. . .
If Adama is out -- at least incapacitated, does this put Tighe in command?
And the music was gorgeous.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
That was two close-range shots to... the abdomen, I thought, which means that it may take him a while to bleed out, with a chance for survival if he goes to surgery fast. (You know, Boomer was, like a foot away; how difficult would it have been for her to fire him at the heart? I'm just sayin'.) I think EJO is in the contract so he'll probably come back, but wow... it'd be a gutsy move if they really kill him off.
So, now you have Roslin in the brig, which means batshit!crazy Baltar in thrall of Six and the next generation of creepily radiant Cylon/human hybrids gets to be the acting president. And with Adama out of commission (whether gravely injured or dead), Tigh, under the thumb of his Lady Macbeth, will get to be in charge of the military. Talk about everything going to shit.
I LOVED that fight between Six and Starbuck. That looked messy and inelegant and fucking *painful*.

I wanted Starbuck to use the arrow like a spear to gut Six. Assuming that Six has guts.

Ummm, in my excitement I forgot -- should I have been whitefonting?
I watched the episode on tape delay and don't know if the West Coast has had it or not.
