Thanks, Atrocities. It's good to be back, even if all I'm gonna do is loiter around
Now if only S1st would answer my lost password requests...
!! More spoilers !!!
Zero, RDM has stated in his pod casts and blogs that there are 12 human cylon agents. Infact, by the end of this season, a little over half of those models will be known.
Tigh is a great character imo. He's Adama's Dick Cheney and Ted Kennedy wrapped into one person.
As for Baltar, cylon technology is more organic than mechanical. Six is more or less trying to drive Baltar off the deep end.
Renegade 13 , Something to note is that the original series Adama was split into two roles, Laura Roslin and Bill Adama. But the civies in the fleet do have a degree of control over galactica as several ships has resources galactica needs. Pegasus had a civilian fleet at one point, some 15 ships, look what cain did to them! Plus the pointless politiking of the fleet keeps the civilians busy so the military doesn't have to run the show. I don't find the president annoying at all, infact I'm hoping we see more of the politics in the fleet. Of course, now that the scrolls of pythia have been invalidated....
Atrocities, with the scenes in ressurection ship aside (even RDM disliked those) I think Lee is having a mental breakdown. Severe depression, death wish, distancing himself from everyone. I think we'll start seeing more of this in the fleet's military as the show continues. A similar evolution is happening with starbuck's character, but she's using hard liquor to drown it out. I also think RDM's handling of the character is funny as richard hatch, who originally played apollo, kept pitching that apollo would become the commander of galactica and desired that post. RDM completely reversed that in the character.
As for Cain, I was very surprised at the preformance given. It shows a very different part of the colonial mindset and actually reminded me of captain ahab or even kahn at times. Hats off to Ensign Ro. I did, however, find her death fitting as Karma for her actions and her crew's actions. I'm pissed about how they handled Fisk in the following episodes, however.
Now Baltar is something else, I think the cylons are trying to break him mentally with the constant screwing around six does with his mind. I think it'll also play a big part in the season finale.
