Well, they are successfully making Admiral Kane and her gang seem rather . . . . vaguely threatening. Nicely playing on our attachment to the folks we already know - making these guys feel like interlopers barging in on our little gang. Oh, yeah. It pissed me off when I saw how happy *our* crew was to see the Pegasus crew, and the rather coldness of the *others*. How dare they make the Galactica people feel inferior after all they've been through! Absolutely! I know the Pegasus crew has been through stuff as well, but Galactica has been beating overwhelming odds and keeping the remnants of humanity safe. She and her crew deserve a hell of a lot more respect.

Oh yeah. With the inhumanity expressed toward the cylon prisoner as a shining example between the Admiral and Adama and the President. *nods* It really sickened me a lot. Especially the scene between the new pilots who were bragging and making lewd comments about the 'robot' girl. Nasty. Bad, bad men. Serving under a bad, bad woman.

Greg just declared he believes that having Starbuck out there tooling around in her new toy will be key to busting her crewmates out of jail. And they better get Six out of there as well, or I'll start getting medieval on them too. Do you think they will try? If Baltar has anything to say about it Six is getting out of there for sure. Plus he's sneaky and has more survival talents than a cockroach, so I think he's got a very good chance of succeeding.

God DAMN, that's a cliffhanger!!!!! OK - her bridge crew is scared of her, Adama was just waiting for her to do something like this, and I don't believe for ONE second she didn't know how her "cylon interrogater" was acting. She more cracked and psycho than Tigh and Baltar put together! Oh, yes - the look on every one of her crew's faces was very telling. I don't think a one of them would blink an eye to high tail it to Adama's command, if given the chance.

I get the feeling that it would not have mattered if the President told the Admiral to convene a new court martial and set aside the original verdict. She had no respect for the president or the office by the time they met up. The admiral is more intent on running a military dictatorship. Bitch. Yeah, I think she's a bit too used to just running things the way she wants. She's even more dangerous than Tigh, because she's actually competent. And even more ruthless. I mean, killing an officer in front of everyone?! That is cold, man.

Ah, but she was totally on board with Gaius' whole explanation that the cylon should be manipulated emotionally and that he was gonna use "a carrot". I would bet she called him in purely because her cylon prisoner went catatonic and she was wondering if there was more info to be gotten out of her or should they just kill her. Exactly. After the court martial bullshit I came to the same conclusion. I wasn't watching the scene between her and Gaius very well, and missed the suggestion that they manipulate Six. Yep. It was the court martial stuff that tipped the scale for me. She was just so calmly smug about the whole thing.

After that court martial stunt I think she gave the orders to torture the Cylon prisoner to get info or whatever, just for the hell of it. I was so enthralled that I didn't even notice the time and that the episode was over!! Dammit! I know! Hence, the 'aw frack' comment. Those extra 2 minutes didn't feel all that long. January! Damn!

Her presence will only add to the story.

Okay, Greg and I are pretty homicidal right now. I don't care what the hell Number Six and Sharon are--to treat them like that was unconscionable. Every single Pegasus crew member who assaulted Six should be castrated and get their penis shoved down their throat. And then I'll go to work on them. I was glad the "interrogator" died, myself, but Greg wasn't--he felt his death should have taken much longer and been a hell of a lot more painful. This treatment they (Sharon and Six) both suffered pretty much strengthens the Galactica's tenuous bond with the Cylons. Baltar's declaration of love for Six had me in tears. And what was almost done to Sharon...it...I have no words to how awful it made me feel. I'm with Greg. The interrogator's death was much too quick, but then again, we won't have to deal with his repulsive face again. Oh my yes! Baltar's speech to Six in the brig was so unexpectedly moving. So straightforwardly saying he loved her and how he just calmly told her things, like saying it wasn't a trick and he wasn't going to take the food away again. Actually very noble and smart behavior. And from Gaius!?

It was the court martial stuff that tipped the scale for me. She was just so calmly smug about the whole thing. *in her best everyday voice* "It was a very hard decision" to sentence two men to death. Yeah, right.

She's a hard ass broad this admiral. I think she not only knows, the orders are hers to get info whatever way they can! D**kheads. Yup. She's just too . . . calm and OK with ordering her vipers to go out and shoot down her fellow soldiers. And the way she rigged the court martial and was so fakey in her "it was a hard decision" speech to Adama. I cheered when he ordered his marines to go get them back and stomped down the hall all "I'm getting back my men!" Frankly though, I'm surprised he didn't call the President. I mean, the perfect response to her "I don't take orders from you" would be "no, you take them from the President" and then have the President order an impartial tribunal. Well - presuming their system is the same as ours and the Pres is the "commander in chief". I missed a big chunk of the action when my sil came over with my jewelry order. I got the feeling, though, that Adama felt he didn't have the time to go thru the tribunal process - and he doesn't like them anyway. He's out for blood.
