I almost forgot that the Chief was also basically fucked up after the shooting incident.

Good for the series.

Battlestar Ga-Crack-tica is finally on!!!

Man, Tigh is rapidly falling apart. He looks like utter shit, has gone off the deep end, and I even think he's running low on alcohol.

Damn, where did Starbuck and Helo get all that firepower?

Baltar has changed after Kobol, slamming people, talking back at Tigh. Interesting development.

Sad, he was actually about to try something reasonable . . . before his wife goaded him back into stupidity.

But, definitely, so far, heads and shoulders above the hour of my life I wasted watching SG1 this week.

Wow...the civilians are going as ape shit as the Colonel. I wonder what his "stern measures" entail. Would he go as far as Adama and send Marines to do the job, or dare I say, something as drastic on firing on a civilian vessel?

I see Ellen is doing what she does best as well as Six. Well, at least Number Six is doing what she does as part of the "Plan." Mrs. Tigh is just a conniving bitch.

Goddamn. This show is fucking excellent. It's so... raw. So believable.

Anyhoo, my respect for Tigh is slipping a bit. On the other hand, I'm not too fond of Rosalyn either, since she's essentially a drugged up fundamentalist. Last episode I *really* wanted the quorum to see her mumbling nutily to herself, and I could've kicked Tigh that he didn't immediately take advantage of what Ellen told him (though, I don't really like her much either. But at least this time she did do *something* useful). May I also say that after seeing the quorum's immediately "she's our savior" schtick, the colonial government in general has somewhat lost my confidence.

And Cally showing her claws. I really didn't think that she had that in her. I mean, he *did* save her life. Would anyone really blame him for it. I wouldn't; Baltar has done some crappy, evil things, but killing Crashdown wasn't one of them.

Also: poor chief. Guy's out of the frying pan into the fire.

My guess is the same place that they got the military vehicle. And It's obvious that Ellen is the problem, with Saul willing to talk the situation over before she manipulated him to do otherwise.

Plus we have full canon names for 4 Battlestars now: Galactica, Atlantia, Pegasus, and Columbia.

Extra data point of the Chief: He has been serving on Battlestars since he was 18.

Ellen has to be a fraking Cylon. Everything she does to Tight hurts him or hurts the fleet. Every single thing.

Wow, this episode ranks right up there as one of the best. I think Tigh is going to have to spend quite a few episodes in the brig before to long.

Ellen's connection with Zarec aught to start paying off soon.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots.

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

That Hummer belongs to Starbuck. They got it two eps ago when she and Helo made a pit stop over at her old dump...er, apartment.

While on one hand I like the idea that she is just a manipulative viper of a bitch, the idea of her being a Cylon is kinda interesting given that it is so obvious. 'Hide in plain sight' and all that.

HAH!

"I love you so--"
"Shut up Ellen."

EDIT: Oh, and why the Hell are they letting Baltar drawing blood samples? He's a fucking computer scientist, not a registered nurse.

CRAP 8 Cylons in the fleet, and I didn't see that one comming from Baltar. He's definiatly had a change in personality after killing Crashdown.
