That get their heads bitten off at the earliest opportunity by the chocoholic humans. . .. Seriously, sorry. I'll try to be more optimistic in future. LOL!! No, no, no!! I was just teasing. I love hearing what ya'll think will happen. ;D I just meant my brain is in denial that the ending may very well be very depressing and not satisfy my unrealistic yet desperate need for everyone to live happily ever after. ;D ;D You are a Joss fan, right?

Hmm...so I've been thinking about who would be the most logical one to have been 'chipped', and I keep coming back to Baltar because wasn't he instrumental in the Cylon's successful nuking of his home? Plus, he keeps saying that he runs away all the time, so maybe now is the time when he'll stop running and lead. He is very charismatic and people follow his lead. Still an interesting theory. I wonder if Leobon's reaction to Kara's discovery of her burned corpse will come into play soon. That might be a key to it all. She hasn't told Lee anything about that yet, has she? I am still convinced that there was something done to Baltar or put in Baltar that caused him to see Six way back in the day. You don't think he's just an extra-nutty nut job packed with extra nuttiness?

I think, if the implant theory proves out, that Kara is the one with the "implant" and she's the one who is going to prove instrumental in preventing the "this has happened before and will happen again" scenario from coming to pass.

Shot in the neck. How is she gonna transport him? Gaeta sticking to his guns because he's lost everything else.. Trying to fuck with Adama's head. Roslin breaking in with the news of the coup. Romo! Heh. "Me and my pen-pal" Heh, and despite his best efforts, he's still being a good guy. And Tyrol's leave-be guy is having a crisis of conscience. Good. At least someone is. And is all Tyrol gonna do is sneak around in tunnels a size too small for him? So they're gonna airlock Adama? And dude made his call. Back to the side of angels! Much less in the way of vomiting. Nightmare of the execution. I hate you, Ron Moore. This Six is apparently strange and off-putting. Gaius feeling his cowardice. So he's coming clean at least to this Six, about his contempt for his flock. And he decides to return and be a better messiah. Roslin laying the smack down, verbally. Gaeta in Adama's cabin... "Carry out the execution" can't even be in the same room as it's being done. Coward. Only it's not going on! Woohoo! Yay for mixed cylon/human strike forces! "Sorry sir" is not gonna cover it. A tyrol-sized tunnel at last! yay! Oh, Zarek, you don't know what you're frakking with. That's the president Roslin I voted for, avenging angel. Swearing she will BITE you all to death if she needs you dead! I wonder if that is Ron Moore's way of giving his opinon of his fanbase? I mean, probably not, but for some reason that was the first thing I thought of.

So, More Tyrol. Shit, he's in the engine room? HE's IN THE JUMP DRIVE! SO THAT"s what it looks like! So those soldiers are back under legitimate authority, now? So THAT'S the payoff for all that running Tyrol's been doing.tension, tension, tension, annnnnnnnd, Gaeta finally wakes up. And surrenders. Galen did what with that FTL drive component? And welcome back, Mom! Baltar back on the ship, taking his mininstry seriously, ministering to a prisonor. Huh. Adama is treating with a degree of respect because he surrendered before he was forced to. Heh. "And please, no religion" Oh. That was his execution meal. And it stopped hurting itching But how did Tyrol know that he needed to shut down the drive??? I am confuzzled. He kept the ship from jumping, but who told him that Gaeta intended to do that?

And it stopped hurting itching I suspect at that moment, the relief was greater than the fear. Possiby greater than any other pleasure he'd felt. Julia, but damn Zareck, anyway Well said. Gaeta was never a particularly happy man.

Part IV Gaeta vs Zarek. Tryol doing that cool sliding down the stairs thingy. Hey, where is he going to anyay? Oh, that's the FTL drive. Good thinking. Gaeta and Zarek fracturing.Adama regains control of the CIC. It can't be over just like that though. Back with Tyrol. Are those fractures in the hull?Adama and Roslin reunited. Gaeta in the brig. Or not in the brig. This must be a dream or a flashback. Gaeta reflects some more on his life. Or maybe Gaeta's been confined to his quarters. Or huh? Zarek and Gaeta's execution. And there it is. Wow. Nice parallel!

Rewatching, and that last scene with Baltar and Gaeta really made me cry. Alessandro Juliani did such a fantastic job. And to think how different things would have been if Adama had given Gaeta permission to speak freely and voice all his concerns and seriously considered them. And I love the little smile Zarek and Gaeta give to each other right before they are executed. I am strangely not that bothered that Adama didn't listen to each and every one of Gaeta's concerns. Normally, I am always one to speak up at work and expect my opinion to be (at least) heard by my superiors. But the situation they were in did not really give Adama the opportunity to plan by committee. He had to make the best decision he could in the time allotted to him. He had to follow his heart, his guts, his instincts, what have you, and be willing to follow through with what he thought was right. Ultimately, whatever happens is on his shoulders, so in those kind of circumstances, he couldn't afford to waver, or even entertain other paths.

Looking back, I think Tyrol was trying to do it as leverage.

Swiped from Metafilter, a perfectly wonderful description:
You know, I was thinking about it the other night and came to an important realization : Colonel Tigh? Worst. Robot. Evar.
Seriously, who the hell would buy a robot like that? Doesn't cook. Won't clean up your room. Meaner than all hell. Drinks all your booze.
I'd take a roomba over Tigh any day of the week. posted by Afroblanco at 8:09 PM on February 11
