Well, at least they regard torture as being nasty enough to warrant a warning. Thank god it's just that, and not bare nipples, or something.
Natasi gonna give him a back-glowing happy (such a beautiful loving look on her face in his projection) while his brain goes and deals with three...
This is..... amazing. She's doing for him what Mal did for Wash. Only with a more intellectual component.
Heh.. scores points on her with the "We'd all be gods"
He's your Deity, Three.
He is SO a cylon. Or batshit crazy...
That is fucked up, and the most beautiful I've ever seen Gaius. Wow. And Six.. wow.
Three's... perplexed all to hell and gone.
Gotta watch that scene again.
Oh, thank goodness. Athena's immune because of her itty cybrid!! Woohoo!
Uh oh. the cylon prisoners they have may know that Hera-Isis is alive.
She wants to have "joy-of-living" sex, and he has to stop her and tell her that her birth family is kinda screwed if they go through with this plan: hence, unsaveable, given up.
"Passing the buck"
At least Adama knows that their soul is part of the stakes, and recognizes it.
Helo speaks for me. She was a person before it all.
"This cylon will keep her word even if she's the last cylon in the universe"
"Posterity does not look too kindly upon genocide"
"At least there will be someone alive to revile us"
Ordering Admiral Adama to kill off a race.
"So say we all" BITTER.

So, it's the torture that gets a parental advisory? The explicit sex?
Examine her faith.
This is bizarre.
Scientific analysis of religion.
Did Baltar cum in his pants? Cause that would just be embarrassing.
All that blood from his ear.
So Athena's immune. Yay!
Liked that she summed up the medical babble with a "whatever."
Can't use bio weapons with out Presidential consent. They really don't have a system of checks and balances in their government.
Athena and Helo, Adama and Roslin
I made a choice to be a person. I'd say that's valid. That only the individual
Can a Cylon keep her word even if it means that she's the only one left in the universe? Can a human do that?
You're assuming that posteriority will view this as genocide. Question of who writes the history books. History is written by the victors.

Starbuck's back in the pilots' seat.
I bet the Cylons are already dead. Yep. So nice that our intrepid Heroes are spared the consequences of their decisions
Seems like they're always coming for one of us. Who is the real traitor: Athena or Helo?
Ah, Helo did it. He followed his conscience.
I'm closing the book on this. How convenient. Pot. Kettle. Black.
A beacon abandoned on the sick bay ship. One that was left behind on New Caprica?
Exact match to one reported over 3K years ago, when the 13th colony left Kobol. dun Dun DUN!

Helo.. looked like he was taking off his dog tags.. now it loosk like he was taking a key off a necklace. What is he doing?
"Terminate the prisoners" Woohoo. So bloodless.
Kara back in the saddle finally?
Ah. Helo screwed with the brig environmental controls.
Thus endeth Helo's time as an XO.
You did an honorable thing, Karl. Surrender yourself and take the dishonorable discharge and hope they don't give you jail time or execute you for being a merciful human.
"No one. I'm closing the book on this"
Exact match to one reported 3,000 years ago...
WOW. Karl got off, even though Admiral Adama knows EXACTLY who did it.

Encephalitis. Humans are now immune. Cylons have anti-body in blood that breaks down vaccine. Er, um. Sigh. The Prayer to the Cloud of te Unknowing. Does that "humanize" them as it were to the humans? Now they know that Baltar is with the Cylons. A new beginning. Is that their plan? Much like you. But it's easier sad than done, sadly. They used to use these stick-collar things in old mental institutions, didn't they?Apollo's the first to figure it out. That's provided that there is only one resurrection ship. Genocide. Excellently done debate. I'm talking about losing a piece of our souls How do we know there aren't others like her? Who gets to designate personhood? And then we come back to shades of the Pegasus Rape Travesty. Ones with a simple collar were used in mental institutions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In the middle ages, devices like that with sharp spikes that faced inward with spring-loaded jaws (like the snap-hinge portion of a carabiner) were used for capturing cornered fugitives, and transporting them. You just popped it around their neck, bound their hands, and they went anywhere you guided them to.

So, Lymphocytic Encephalitis. It appears that that part they got right. Humans are immune, this is a disease that only affects animals here on our planet earth. The best hit seemed to be an article in French that unfortunately didn't even have an abstract online.
Now the stuff about anti-bodies and vaccines on the other hand...
Oh well, if the medical babble is the worst writing mistake they make...

Man, Baltar sounds so noble, doesn't he? We got some classic Baltar wiggling in this ep. Wiggle wiggle wiggle on the hook. But that still doesn't mean he's guilty of selling out the Cylons. Well, beyond not telling them about the probe. Little boy who cried wolf . . . The flight through the dead Cylon raptors and then into the ship and finding the dying skin jobs was very successfully creepy. The troops all jumpy and tense. The ship kind of . . . falling apart and oozing. The sick Cylons crawling toward each other. **shiver** **nods** Sharthena dodged a bullet big time there. That was very interesting, wasn't it? ;D

Ooh! A parental discretion warning. Wonders how bad it could be. I'd like to think it was because a serious examination of how far one might go in wartime and the ethics of possible genocide was a topic that should be viewed when there are adults around to have a discussion with. But I'm betting it was 'cuz of the nekkid!Baltar and sex during torture scenes. I was totally convinced of that too. And scared that we didn't really know if humans were immune either, 'cuz Baltar was all suited up and stuff.

Was that the Cylon baseship that Baltar was on? I'm assuming that Athena!Sharon is infected. We should be able to rule out all of the boarding party as being Cylons. Ooooh, I hadn't thought about this telling us something about the boarding party. I mean, if Sharon was only OK because of the baby's cells, then the rest must be human.
