If she gets Executed, she ends up on the Ressurection Ship immediately, and on her next turn can move to the Human Fleet to scout the Destination deck.
This is true. It's not exactly free; a player has one action to spend on their turn, and scouting the Destination deck means forgoing Caprica or the Cylon Fleet (if they've shown up).
Recap of execution rules: the executed player loses all their cards. If they were human, lose 1 Morale, and they choose a new character. If they were a Cylon, they move to the Resurrection Ship but do
not
pick up a Super Crisis. (They don't get their reveal power either.)
I'd say Pegasus gave Cylons a big power boost.
It gave both sides a boost. For the humans, there are new skill cards with new options (witness Roslin's use of a Preventative Policy to save 1 Morale, and Gaeta's Major Victory to recover another 1 Morale), and the Pegasus locations. From what I've seen so far, victory rates for the two teams in Pegasus aren't noticeably different from the base game victory rates.

Would you care to explain now, Ellen? For those of us who haven't decided what to do, yet.
I'm curious to hear Ellen's line of reasoning. I've not made up my mind yet.

Amazing how you all assume that I'm against you, or an idiot - considering you have no idea what the OTHER card was. Or bothered asking my motivation for what I did.
It's tough to tell sometimes, so if I have offended you, the player, Stunthusband, I apologize.
BSG
oh crap. sorry if anybody saw that. I'm so used to ICs. I play one card.
BSG
