[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] To my chagrin, intelligence gathering does not seem to be much of a priority or skill for the colonials. So I was glad to see them actually doing a little. But like Simon, I too wondered about the possiblilities of uncovering the identities of the remaining human Cylon models (as well as testing the veracity of the 12 models assumption). But then I remembered that it's a TV show and if we knew who all the Cylons were it just couldn't be as interesting (could it?) and so that won't happen. If the mission is a success (and to an alarming degree everyone seems to be assuming it will be) they will destroy the Resurrection Ship. I found Tricia Helfer's (capably assisted by James Callis) performance as the tortured Six in the previous episode riveting. Less so here. I didn't really buy that she just wanted to die. Although, I suppose it did cement the whole Cylon spirituality thing and give us the name/purpose of the heretofore mystery ship. When she pounced on Baltar, I felt like we were getting somewhere. But then plot. [URL=http://flare.solareclipse.net/ultimatebb.php/topic/8/830/2.html#000025]As before[/URL] I do feel like we're really getting lopsided on the whole Cain/Pegasus is/are a bad-guy/s, therefore-ok-to-shoot thing (did Cain [i]really[/i] need to kick the now-fed yet semi-catatonic Six). Again I do hope that possibly via some noble sacrifice (or perhaps more excitingly through some epiphanic change of heart) Cain et al will have an opportunity to redeem themselves soon. As appealing as a mideseason name change of the series to "Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus", and as much potential as that story holds for me, I'm afraid even Ron Moore isn't [i]that[/i] cool. Roslin's snap (albeit brutal) decision seemed completely in line with a character who has faced some crushing descisions (the non-FTL ships, Tom Zarek, Kobol, Leoban Mk2, military coup, etc.). Of course it helps to have Mary McDonnell to sell it. Amazing, her. As for the Cain/Adama assassination-off: I was very impressed at the parallel structure of those scenes and am fast coming to the conclusion that this show is just incredible at cliff-hangers. I did find it curious that Cain's order was to "terminate Commander Adama's command", where Adama used the somewhat less formal "shoot her in the face." [/QB][/QUOTE]
