Wait....so they're essentially pardoning Helo? That's retarded. He just sabatoged their effort to completely end the threat to their survival and they're just gonna forget about it? Hey now that they know Baltar is leading the cylons towards Earth maybe when they reunite with him they can give him a hug, as they certainly don't seem to care about people betraying the human race.

Well, I don't find the pardon hard to believe. Only Adama and Rosalyn (maybe Apollo) know that it was "sabotage" and Helo. And we all knew that Adama was against the plan the whole time. So basically, Adama kept his first officer and got his way...and that surprises people?
I don't like the fact that Apollo went from "standing up for what I believe in" and "questioning my role in this place after my near-death experience" to "kill all Cylons!!!" I just don't see the transition. Isn't Dualla supposed to be keeping him in check?
I do like the development of the Helo/Athena relationship though. And does Deanna think Baltar loves her or that he was talking about God? I just don't know...

I guess it's good to know that when you order your XO to push that button, that button he really doesn't want to push but is ordered to push that when push comes to shove not only will he NOT push the button, but he'll punch the next guy in line to make sure he can't push it either.
Yeah, that's what you want from your military officers

Here's a question: what did the ear torture thing do to Baltar? Was it the mechanical version of the worm from the Star Trek movies? Can he hear out of that ear now? I don't normally creep out, but eeewwwww!
Oh well, at least they didn't cut it off.
(Also, isn't this 11/10/06?)
So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

Okay, not my personal revelation here, but as she doesn't post here, I'm posting for her. And, just to be safe, I'll spoilerize it:
Select to view spoiler:
Virus from Earth will destroy the Cylon race.
There is every chance said virus still exists on Earth -- no reason it wouldn't, really.
Cylons do, in fact reach earth.
Cylons contract virus and die. H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds," anyone...?

Good catch Zeph. I agree that this definitely isn't the last we'll see of the virus.
Also, does next week's episode look kind-of unneccesary to anyone else but me? They've still got a lot of unresolved issues going on with the crew and fleet but instead they're going to introduce a new character and new problem. I dunno, guess I'm just a little wary of what they're gonna do with this Bulldog guy...
Sorry about putting the wrong month everyone!

I didn't get why there was even a question as to why not eliminate the Cylons. They are man made machines gone way bad and tried to destroy the human race. They are still man-made machines. Just because one model is defective and wants to side with the humans doesn't mean that they all must be good.
For me, I just do not see it as genocide because they are not people, they are man-made machines that have malfunctioned. If they were human or an organic alien I would feel very differently, but they are not. Man made them, man can destroy them.
Of course if they did destroy them the show would be over and I don't want that to happen.
I do want Helo(sp?)to be dishonorably discharged because he underminded the military and a presidental order. The message must be sent to the rest of the fleet that that type of behavior is unacceptable.

So, dietcoke, just to play devil's advocate (Cylon's advocate...?), then, if there were, say, some human clones out there (man-made, but in every way human, by definition), you'd be fine with killing them, even though they're people...?
Not saying I completely disagree with you regarding wiping them out, I just happen to see it from a different viewpoint.
Human, alien, man-made human-like machines, whatever, self-defense is one of what most honest philosophers consider an inalienable right. Therefore, if I am attacked with deadly force, I have the moral right to respond with deadly force, dong ma? If somebody is trying to kill you, you try to kill them right back.
Therefore, if someone is trying to commit genocide against me and mine, I would think that the moral right of self-defense would apply, and I would be well within what is right and good to respond with genocide my ownself...

Good point. Not sure I can argue with you. But for me, Cylons are man-made machines. Look, feel, sound like humans but not so much. I don't have a moral issue about hitting the power switch on a machine that has gone wrong.
They tried to kill us, let's try to kill them right back.
Always good stuff to ponder and talk about!
