Mankinds on the precipice of extinction, against an enemy that outguns us, outnumbers us and has the abiltiy to imitate us yet Fox and CNN are still going strong...please. Weakest part of the show, IMHO.
I agree. I don't think "freedom of the press" would be very high on the public's priority-list under such conditions.

In this case, given the circumstances, I'd be perfectly happy if most of the press were killed. How many news feeds does a fleet of 45,000 people need? After all, are they drawing salary? Would most really work at journalism for free? Within days they should have been reassigned to more useful tasks, pressganged if necessary.
ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN go on the C Ark with the workers. CSPAN and some of NPR go on the A ark with the scientists and thinkers. FOX News, MSNBC, all radio call in shows including those on Air America, and the entire Clear Channel radio network go on the B ark with the useless wastes of oxygen.
Your friendly neighborhood former journalist.

Some people see it as a calling, i guess.

It's John Hillerman, isn't it, Burl? Actually, it's probably Roger Mosely.

And if you have 10 of them who look like Tricia Helfer, so much the better. It's the cylons fault for using attractive models for their cylons. Sure theyn painted these Pegasus crew members as bunch of arseholes, but fact is, it's a war against machines and u gotta do what u need to do to survive
Original Desmond wrote:This is quite an interesting discussion
The fact is that if you had never seen the show before and walked in on that scene with the sound down, you would think that you were watching a rape. Hence i understand the outrage at the scene but it was not a rape of a human !
Ok, let's compare this scene to a scene you have all seen (i'm pretty sure) and laughed your arses off at. I am talking about the scene in American Pie were Jim has his dick in an Apple pie or wait, was he RAPING that apple pie ???
Apple pie = non human, non living object with no feelings
Cylon = non human, non living object with no feelings
Now wait you say, but the cylons look human, and the apple pie doesn't. Ok what if you got a team of genius chefs to make a huge life like apple pie in the shape of Heidi Klum and used advanced food photoimaging technology to make it look literally like Heidi Klum but it's an apple pie. If you stick your dick in this, is it rape ?
Be Consistent people!

I just can't believe people were actually justifying that act of violence because the Cylons aren't really human. Whatever.

Why do you say this you ask?
Notice the scene with Cain saying "Frak You" with tears in her eyes. Notice the arm holding the gun. Green sleeve, the same sleeve of the shirt Baltar gave the Six clone to change into.
My theory: Baltar is ready to shoot the Six clone, she knocks him out, takes the gun and the fight to Cain, takes out Cain and then herself before Cain can give the order. Adama isn't a traitor, Cain's men are caught before they execute in haste, problem solved and Galactica gets a NEW HONKIN' SHIP to play with . . . or send to the colonies to liberate the remaining people.
OR . . . Starbuck could stop the Six clone, Cain leaves in gratitude for her actions. I like the first better.

That kiss was so geriatric. Dino knows what I'm talking about. Right, you old putz?

Dude, they're not THAT old. But yeah, the kiss was gross. I was half expecting to see a line of spit as Adama pulled away.
