[quote name='TrackerNeil' post='1727221' date='Mar 20 2009, 14.39']I'm curious to see just how many crew members Adama can forgive before the end, because the list of forgiven crimes is growing:

Tyrol - murder
Thrace - desertion
Adama (Lee) - mutiny
Agathon - murder
Edmundson - mutiny, collaboration with mutiny
Dualla - collaboration with mutiny
Skulls - mutiny

I'm wondering if we can get in at least one more desertion before whatever happens happens.[/quote]

In today's television and movies, doing bad = good. The days of J. Edgar Hoover demanding that the good guys always win are gone I guess. Guaranteed to produce a much better society, where nothing like school shootings and child killings happen on a large scale.

Today, we chase down terrorists and smoke them out and bring them to justice.
Tomorrow, we let em out of the brig cause their gene seed is precious. :P

For the Emperor!

That reminded me of when the show kicked ass. I wasn't really into it during the first couple seasons, I had watched the mini-series but my work schedule back then kept me from watching much prime time television. But I do remember seeing this atmosphere jump.

Wow, I completely forgot about that scene. I'm sure this has been said already, but I'll bet Lee feels like a bit of a dumbass for sacrificing the Pegasus, what with the Galactica falling apart and all.

My favourite moment from the series is a toss-up between Adama telling Cain where to go at the end of [i]Pegasus[/i] ("I'm getting MY MEN!") and Colonel Tigh summing up the situation in [i]Someone to Watch Over Me [/i]("What...the...FRAK?"). Although...atmo drop.

[quote name='Regina' post='1727811' date='Mar 21 2009, 01.02']Favorite moment from the series?

Saul killing Ellen. Need I say more?[/quote]

This, as well.

Saul Tigh beating up a man half his age and twice his body mass in peak physical condition with a metal pipe also has to be up there.

I should go to bed and watch the episode fresh tomorrow.

But the Sci-Fi Channel's live watching thread is kind of tempting:

SPOILER: WTF?
They leave Romo as Acting President and Hoshi as Acting Admiral of the Fleet? [i]Galactica[/i] rams the Colony? There is insane shitloads of CGI? Centurion-on-Centurion violence? ATHENA KILLS BOOMER? Caprica and Baltar see one another's 'angels'?


Mental.

Huh? There's an hour left?

SPOILER: BSG
Racetrack nuked the Colony into oblivion (despite being dead) and [i]Galactica[/i] jumped into Real-Earth orbit?


What the hell do they have left to show?

Fuck it, I'm going to bed now and catching up on this tomorrow before I get any more spoilerised.

Didn't Adama release everyone from the brig to make their choice? I think I remember that happening.

It's possible. That episode was so boring I faded in and out both times I watched it.
