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!? Love really makes you do the whacky! Like being noble and smart. ;D

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. Heck, from the looks on some of their faces, I think we'd be back at our theme from the episode called "Fragged" if they saw a chance to take her out.

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. Oh yeah. Baltar is there, too, so I would suspect that he'd make sure Six is rescued as well. Go Starbuck!! She'll definitely be key.

And none too soon, if you ask me.

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. Yeah, homicidal about sums it up for me too. And I think that's how Adama is feeling and he doesn't even know the full story yet. I #heart# EJO. He was a seething, ticking time bomb. And Tigh - you could see the anger just about to boil over there, too.

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. Dude! And you know, it's interesting how Tigh was smart enough to act like he believed that it was a "joke" (so they could both understand each other but continue to put a good "face" on it) and that he was smart enough to know that it wasn't a joke. Reminds me that Tigh does have value and intelligence or he wouldn't be where he is. He blurs that too often with his weaknesses and his drinking, but there is something under all that.

Yep. 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. #smirk#

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. Oh, yeah. He'd still be storming over there to get them. I guess I was thinking he could have gotten in touch with the President when they were first arrested. But Admiral Kane moved so quickly - even more quickly than he was expecting, I'll wager.

Very ballsy to openly defy a superior officer. Espcially an admiral. Go Adama! 3 cheers for Adama! I think the Pegasus is very much in denial about the real situation they are all in. This is the last of humanity that is left! Each one of them needs to start looking at being more adaptive and less rigid. Also, they need to think less about hunting down cylons (especially when they lose lots of people that way - people they can't afford to lose). Pegasus is gonna have a big shock when they start having to deal with the civilian population as well! They've been their own little world for too long. Makes me wonder how much of this is how they were already and how much is caused by cracking under the strain of thinking they were all alone. Were they turning into the very creatures that they were bent on destroying? I thought it very strange how they didn't seem all that happy to find more humans alive. I'll have to rewatch for signs that they were - I'm sure there were a few that were happy they weren't so alone.

Yes, Adama values Tigh - and his loyalty. I must say goodnight, too. It's been lovely chatting with you guys. And, Lola, I read your awesome 'Lost' review and will comment on that thread tomorrow when I have more than one braincell. Lots of good and layered thoughts there.

I'll have to rewatch for signs that they were - I'm sure there were a few that were happy they weren't so alone. Oh what a wonderful way of putting it!! Turning into the creatures they are hunting! Man, that sort of makes me think of the Reavers . . . **shivers** They didn't look happy, did they? They were all . . . glum and stern and so on when they first landed. And all they talked about was the stuff that Galactica had, like booze or female cylons to "have fun with". Plus, they were only sharing their stuff with the other military guys and not with the rest of the fleet. Not a good sign. Oooooh! And Admiral Kane was all "welcome back to the fleet", like they were the ones that Galactica and the others were the outsiders they were letting in. Not the way it really is, that Galactica and the civilian ships are the Fleet now and they should be saying "welcome back" to the Pegasus folks! That's very telling.
