Spoiler space.

Ok, so I know based on the way the show is being written that they’re on the “wrong” side, but I totally agree with Felix Gaeta and Tom Zarek. Working with the Cylons is insane. How can the fleet just forgive genocide like that? The Six in custody on Galactica goes on and on about the preservation of the Cylon race, but they never express any serious remorse for what they did.

1. Loved Tigh’s reaction to Laura Roslin’s sleepover with the Admiral.
2. Starbuck/Lee kiss was a little ridiculous. I’ve come to dislike Starbuck.
3. So is Baltar over his hallucinations? Sexy Six hasn’t been around for ages.
4. How could they only have two loser marines guarding Tigh and Adama?
5. Seriously, there’s no way to trust the Cylons.

    Yeah, I’m a little put off by the “cylons are our new best friends” BS. I’d take their FTL drives and defenestrate them (or the airlock equivalent of defenestration). And I’m not sure WTF is up w/Starbuck either.. Why did Tigh and Adama have to wait behind, anyway??

    Well in the case of Adama, the phrase “the captain goes down with his ship” came to mind. Totally agree with you about taking the FTLs then airlocking the skinjobs.

    You have all these questions because the show doesn’t make sense anymore. Remember when it used to say “…and they have a plan” in the opening credits? Notice how that disappeared this season? What was the Cylon’s plan anyways?

    I really loved this show, but this season, man…I’m thinking more and more there is no master plan, despite what Ron Moore has been saying. They’re making this up as they go along, and there won’t be any resolution or answers.

    The plan seems to be this: Try to kill all the humans, occupy their planets, pursue the humans, try to impregnate the humans, try to live with the humans, fight the humans again, fight each other, now make peace with the humans.

    Also, out of all the billions of people killed, the sole copies of the final five Cylons happen to not only survive the destruction of the colonies, but all end up on Galactica. And somehow two of the final five are older than the first war with the Cylons. Sure.

    The problem with the take the drives and space ‘em notion is that the Colonials don’t know how the Cylon FTL drives work. They could be Trojan-horsed all to hell and back. They could require Cylon control. Hell, they might even be jerry-rigged to blow up if they aren’t in constant contact with the hybrid on the base star.

    The Cylons have no reason to trust all the Colonials, and plenty of reason to not trust them. They OUGHT to have some kind of fail-safe set up to prevent just that kind of betrayal.

    Goodness! What an absent-minded young woman!

    She seems to have forgotten her undergarments.

    First it was a cylon civil war, now it’s a human civil war. That was “the plan” all along…

    Gaeta is a Cylon.

    I think ya’ll all need to chillax and wait for the show to finish. At its worst, it’s still better than most of the sh*t on tv today. Let them finish telling the story, and then, if you still feel bad about it, I’ll be waiting. Sorry. Kill Bill moment.

    “Seriously, there’s no way to trust the Cylons”

    Wow, how Neo-Con of you. Head over to Pandagon for Amanda’s review, much better than yours Ollie.

    I’d sympathize with Gaeta and Zarek a lot more if it wasn’t obvious that Zarek is looking to become a dictator, and Gaeta is playing the “idiot pawn” part yet again (just like he did with Baltar).

    The mutiny seems more inspired by revenge, bitterness, and power-lust than honest ideology.
