I believe the gist of the Pradmiral's complaint is not that Helo is a toaster (though apparently he finds their ideas intriguing and wishes to subscribe to their newsletter), but rather that he XO'd Chief Tyrol, allowing this current turn of events.
Yes, exactly that. Apollo and Tyrol are first in line for the old "Cylon out the airlock" game.
Helo is just a grunt in need of a beating.
Starbuck is our last hope. Imagine that. Edit: Oh crap Starbuck has one card. Card advantage is with the toasters.

While I'd like to take the time to point out to our dear (for the moment, anyway) Pradmiral that last I checked no one has failed Dr. Baltar's Cylon test, there was a noticable lack of resources and ability to allocate such among our good crew. It's a good thing the Chief and I are able to pick up the slack.
BSG
Yeah, yeah - what test? There is no test to fail OR pass.
SOMEONE guaranteed THAT little trick.
Pradmiral, all my resources - limited though they are - are yours. Nail 'em.

Frak frak frak Frak FRAK! I forgot that XO's don't have to be followed as XO'd!! Grrrr. I was thinking we needed vipers fixed, and Chief can fix and fix, and it was a good thing in the calm of the storm, since I didn't have the needed cards to brig or unbrig anyone. Frak frak frak frakety frak! ugggg.
BillyTea, insent with CO's.
Sorry gang, I really didn't do that on purpose. I did the same thing the last game, only on receiving an XO. You'd think I would remember.
thanks. Why does that feel like pure lemon in that frosting, squeezed into my open festering wound of feeling like a heel.
shit that was not my intention.
But you did frak my girlfriend. frakker.
but seriously: it's just a game. I've made plenty of mistakes myself.
ya I know it's just a game. And I know you didn't mean it like that. If you can't poke jokes at your BIG FRAKIN mistakes, when can you??
Oh, and apparently she WASN"T your g/f, but a duplicate. We shall call her Athena in a couple episodes... if the humans make it that long.

A reminder, BSG is a team game. I haven't noticed much discussion about what people should do, and when someone does ask, it's frequently ignored. At its most basic level, discussing what you might do with your action is a good way to avoid simple mistakes.
There I go showing my ignorance of the show again. I had no idea a Boomer was going by Athena.
Suddenly I remeber meeting the original (Maren Jensen) at a county fair when I was 10. She signed my Hooved Animal Society t-shirt. I proceeded to wear it almost daily until it was threadbare, then I put it up in a box in my closet. I have no idea where it is now.
