GALACTICA

So Admiral Adama says that everyone must obey and the punishment for not obeying is execution.

Where the hell were these sentiments when Helo was disobeying orders? And Helo was INTENTIONALLY trying to help Cylons whereas Chief Tyrol was trying to improve the safety of the mining ship which would, in the long run, help the fleet.

The show is written by communists, no one considered a market based solution to the problem. Higher pay for less disirable jobs. That's how we get people to work in coal mines in the real world.

At least Baltar seems like a cool guy again in this episode.

A day in the life of Galactica 90210 perhaps? Chief Tyrol and Callie are having marital problems. Will Bill Adama and Roslin do it?

And there was a story about Tyrol and Callie getting stuck in an airlock. Callie might not make it.

No politics this week.

Because, as I've pointed out before, the Colonial government represents the United States, the purpose of this episode is to show that America is a racist nation. The Sagitarons represent Muslim refugees. This episode shows why the Muslims hate us and why we deserve their hatred.

I knew from the beginning that Helo was right because, even though I hate him, the writers of the show love him. He has replaced Apollo as the show's moral conscience. Admiral Adama, Tigh, and Doctor Cottle should have either (1) investigated Helo's suspicions; or (2) discharged him, because how can someone with as high a rank as Helo be completely ignored when he raises serious charges like murder?

Meanwhile Tom Zarek raises serious warnings about what will happen if Baltar is given a trial. I don't get it myself. I may as well point out, again, that it was Tom Zarek's idea to settle on New Caprica, he shares a lot of the guilt.

Number Six has an imaginary Gaius in her head, how cute.
