[QUOTE]Originally posted by Johnny: [QB] The general fan reaction to this episode has been really bad, but it's a shame because it seems as though it wasn't the writing to blame so much as the way it was edited. Giving guns to Baltar's jubilant harem came off as a completely moronic move on Adama's part because key scenes were cut (possibly to make way for umpteen shots of Adama watching the repair work). Here's what someone said who saw a longer cut of the episode. [QUOTE]I had the priviledge this evening of watching a slightly longer rough cut at a frak party I attended tonight. And there was something really, really key that they had to cut for time (the rough was 11 minutes longer): there are not enough Marines left alive on the Galactica now to handle all required police & civilian duties. At the beginning of the rough cut version, the Marines give up on the food distribution, sensing a riot. They abandon the food rations...immediately after they leave, the Sons of Aries show up, guns in hand, and take what is left. Also before the credit roll, Adama/Roslin/Lee are arguing about introducing Centurions into the Galactica to pick up the slack in security issues and policing the civvies on the ship. Adama refuses to allow it. At the end of the episode, Baltar's plea to Adama is longer -- he clearly wants his little cult-turned-militia to pick up guns in service of civilian policing and food redistribution. Use his cult, instead of Centurions.[/QUOTE]And check out this week's [URL=http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/02/battlestar-galactica-deadlock-jane-espenson.html#more]Chicago Tribune interview with Jane Espenson[/URL] for more. Still doesn't explain why the F3 and Kara didn't ask Ellen for more answers, after being so intent to find out more from Anders last week. And how Boomer found the fleet is a question, unless Cavil knows exactly where they are but hasn't attacked for some reason? [/QB][/QUOTE]
