You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

I'm out and about on my office Christmas party today, so I'll sort out the turn end once I'm home. Meanwhile, feel free to chat amongst yourselves. Compose an elegy for Armand, that kind of thing.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Dear Red Dead Redemption,

it is easier to drink a cup of coffee while riding a real horse.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Anastasia)

Oh, Armand and Sergei, you worked so tirelessly and came so close to accomplishing the goal of all chrome, to kill all humans. Alas, like so many in this ongoing conflict, you were shot in the face before you could realize your dream. Your shiny red-eyed faces. So sad.

Now we will have to try to kill all humans by actually killing all the humans. Well, driving the population to zero. You know what I mean.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Twinkle, twinkle, little Starbuck)

O, Armand, how shiny you were. I'll never forget the completely indecipherable expression on your metal face. May you rest, however briefly, in that great place in space free from face shooting lunatics.

O, Sergei, I...didn't really know you. Sorry.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hahaha, dueling eulogies!

Synchronized sentimentality

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Apparently you hear that same song in your head.

We're back, ladies and gentlemen. Roslin's first act as President is to confiscate the fleet's sundry beverages, enforcing her water monopoly! (It's a monopo-ploy, if you will.) The raiders take advantage of the distraction to steal second base, while the jump track also advances. That concludes Cain's turn. Starbuck has opted to draw... something... Ok, she draws 1 Red and 1 Treachery. We'll get onto her turn in a moment.
