I agree, Admiral. Once in the brig, they no longer draw crisis cards, which is a big plus in my book, and they may only play one card into any crisis. That will make dealing with future crises easier.

I discard a 1Y to move to the Admiral's quarters and I attempt to have Baltar placed in the brig.

I really think this is the best approach -- Roslin knows she's next, and she only has two cards, so I think she'll abstain from intervening this time around to conserve her hand. We draw out Baltar's cards and he won't be able to support her when she goes to join him. Once we are no longer fighting on two fronts, we jump the heck out of here, lick our wounds, and get back to the business of finding a new home for our people.

If Roslin does defend Baltar with her two cards, all the better when her trial comes.

And therein lies the difference, Madame President. We intend to give you a trial. Which is considerably different than the treatment we have all been offered at your hands.

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

Of course I think you're making a mistake but if Roslin is brigged as well I'll go quietly. If only there were some way to prove I'm not a cylon... ah then it wouldn't be much of a game, would it?

these politicians are filling my head with confusion. We are surrounded and not going to fight?!?! I'm curious what the other crisis card was that was WORSE!?! Mdm President, your flamboyant accusing EVERYONE (except me) really draws attention to yourself, and blatantly ignoring that two of the cards could come from the destiny deck. Adama's, my assumption of the Admiral status is based on Apollos claim when doing the card check. If that was a lie we are frakked. Since the doc can draw any card in confusion, PLUS has two loyalty cards at start, that increases the odds that he is a toaster! BUT there is some logic that he wait to look at Someones card until the 2nd round, since it's a one time thing. In the meantime, has the president played ANY quorum cards?????

I need to step away from this game for a while.
