Re: The Baltarian Representation – the argument didn’t hold water for me either. It would be like the Catholics or Mormons or any other group demanding representation in the U.S.Congress alongside elected state representatives. My feeling is Lee’s Quorum of ship's captains is not a long term solution, but a better one than having representatives from colonies that no longer existed. The people have intermingled over the years and have formed their own communities within each ship. Down the road, assuming there are survivors, they’ll need to look at elections and people choosing a representative from each ship or maybe even settlements if they find a habitable planet. Perhaps Paula felt the Cylons had a voice in the government so Baltar’s group should as well, but Sonja was the chosen representative of not just the Cylons, but the baseship.
But I did very much like Lee calling him on the fact that Gaius Baltar doesn't even pass Gaius Baltar's test of moral turpitude. And I agree with him.
Me too. :) And it seemed to have a genuine effect on Baltar. Baltar really was maneuvering to protect his own position. Even if he wasn’t the representative of his followers, we know he’d be pulling the strings and telling them what to say. It’s still very much All About Him.
but then I remember Lee, and figure, no, he's pretty much treating the twins equally.
Adama’s declaration was laughable, but keeping in character with his obliviousness and treating his kids like crap.
But it's Helo, still with that broken hope that he's gonna get Hera back and everything will be all right again that breaks me.
Yeah, and Athena is telling him things will never be the same regardless of what happens and he just can’t believe it.
Helo would never have put Hera's picture on the wall. It must have been Athena, which again is heartbreaking. Especially since she put her own photo up there with her. Athena wasn't there for the volunteering but I can't imagine she won't be going.
I think Athena is convinced that Hera is dead or soon will be and a large part of her died with her. Actually, her life as she knew it, wanted it, is at an end. She could barely look at Helo and if Hera is lost then so is their life together.
Athena may have been among the volunteers. It may have been another Eight, but, in the crowd, I saw an Eight with the same hair and head hanging low and I just assumed it was her.
