Not a Headline At All: Was That The Biggest Cop-Out You've Ever Seen On Battlestar: Galactica Or What?
Things just "worked out" without anyone taking any morally-questionable actions; I thought that was what the old show was all about
What, Baltar letting another live Cylon run around on Galactica is morally OK?

Posted by: ace at January 15, 2006 10:28 PMYeah, disappointing. I was hoping Adama would make it happen. Then he could deal with it in a future episode.
Caine needed to be offed, I think.
It was nice to see Roslin take a firm stand for killing Cain. She had more backbone than Adama. And it doesn't make us hate her character -- after all she'll be dead soon. But if Adama had killed Cain we'd be hearing about it for the rest of the series.
I just wonder if Cain not killing Adama is all that believable. After all the build-up of how ruthless and driven she is, she choked.
As far as Baltar and the cylon go, I thought that was pretty well done, though I'm increasingly disturbed by how easy it is to get around these MILITARY SPACESHIPS. First Cain's boys get Helo and the chief off of Galactica without anyone saying, "Uh, wait a minute." Now a cylon with a recognizable face is just wandering around.
