FINALLY got to read your review! (at least I got to it before tonight's episode! *grin*)
My favorite line...
"One wonders how many traitors and terrorists it takes to convene a political body. "
LOL!!
And my favorite heavy thought... " I think I've noted before that you don't kill a rat with raw poison, you mix a very tiny amount into 95+percent good food - thus disguising the poison. Zarek, similarly, isn't selling raw poison; but, a mix of a tiny bit with a lot of things that seem otherwise just fine. That little dab of poison can become popular by clinging to the good that masks it. Roslin's burden is thusly clear and heavy."
so so true, and so well done here. This ep was such a good study of 'how it is done' - how personal motivations (the guy who didn't get fast enough response from Roslin)can affect a nation or indeed in this case, a species? And how clever words can change the course of history. It's very frightening really. But not here - here it is just fine entertainment!
I'm so sad its almost over for this year. I expect a great two part ending!
