Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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

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

What else do you have to do?
If this is a serious question, the answer's along these lines:
1. Bleed the Cylons of cards. You pull 14 cards per cycle, they pull 7. With XOs you can make five attempts per cycle. You're not likely to get out while Roslin's sitting on 8 or 9 cards. You might get out when she's down to 2 or 3. (This time, they put in four cards stopping you, you put in three.)
2. Use the fact that they won't play last. If they go in hard, you save your cards. If they hold back, go for it.
3. Pray for a favourable Destiny Deck.
4. As the above points might make clear, don't necessarily expect to get out on the first go. It may take a few attempts.

This repetitious behavior sounds a LOT like Us, Boomer.

look for the repetitious behavior to you that I did to your intellectually challenged boarding friend.

Centurions. Pfagh. Expecting them to take over a battlestar would be equivalent to you expecting an ape to take over a basestar. Blah blah blah.
Are you out yet? No?

In the interests of keeping things moving, I'm assuming that anyone who wanted to play interrupts would've played them on the first check, and we'll jump straight in. (If you do have a sudden hankering for some interrupt action, speak fast.) I have a CO from Apollo, so this is the current state of play:
Destiny:
2 cards
Apollo:
1 card
Boomer:
Adama:
Roslin:
Baltar:
Boomer, you're up next.

COs sent. I've got a FIOS installer on the way so I'll be dark soon for an indeterminate length of time.

FIOS installer on the way
This is me, INSANELY JEALOUS.
Can you believe that FIOS isn't readily available here, near MICROSOFT?
