Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

It's worse than that - if Baltar's a Cylon then your XO would mean 3 Cylon turns in a row. Six doesn't seem bent on mayhem, but I don't think we can count on that. Who knows what a Cylon Leader wants? Not me.

But if he's human, it'd be better to have him out and about, doing stuff and getting cards. So how much do you want to risk, I guess. I kind of should have XOd him on my turn to avoid this dilemma, but I thought it was more important to get all our Civilian chickens under my protective wing.

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

BSG (Tigh)

I thought it was weird when Baltar checked Starbuck's loyalty card instead of Roslin's.

On the other hand if he's human we really need him back on his feet.

I'll give the others a bit more time to weigh in but right now I'm thinking an XO is too risky.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (Team Human Doctor)

I completely understand your hesitation. And I'd not fault you for not XOing me. Whine, sure, but I'd be understanding.

I checked Starbuck to make sure what she said about the admiral was true. It was a two for one, in my opinion.

If XOd, I'm happy to follow your wishes exactly. My thoughts are going to Weapons and firing on basestars. But, again, I will do as commanded.

Eta: I forgot I draw blue! I could patch up a viper! Just another option.

Thrive to spite them

BSG Cally

I didn't play as wisely as I should have, but I got caught up in the moment and having so many choices was a little overwhelming.

It was my first turn I wanted to be all dramatic and stuff! Hopefully I didn't mess anything up.

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

BSG

No, no, I'm pretty sure that's my job.

BSG (Tigh)

It's too bad an XO to Cally can only get one more bird in the air right now. I really want to give Dee and Roslin a chance to chime in but I probably won't be back on tonight. If not I'll make my decision first thing in the morning.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Dee)

I say XO Baltar. Everything Six has done has suggested that she is on Team Human, although, for all we know, part of her agenda may involve getting our Population down. She's a wild card!

It's risky, though, and it's ultimately your decision. Baltar does draw Blue, and we do need him to draw more Repair cards.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Roslin)

I say let's live dangerously. XO Baltar.

BSG (The Good Doctor)

In case the good Admiral sees fit to heal me, what are we in favor of me doing? Sounds like heal a viper is a popular choice.

BSG (Dee)

Seems a decent move while we have the opportunity. With Roslin getting to choose from two Crisis Cards, we have a decent chance of jumping away on this turn anyway, so firing on the basestars isn't a priority.
