3.05: Collaborators

[Brown Rat]

"Collaborators" did an interesting job of showing the continuing consequences of the occupation. I'm very glad that Gaeta didn't get killed!

I'm liking Anders for the first time. Prior to this episode, he's been heroic and a member of two resistance movements, so I've always respected him, but it wasn't until this episode that I really liked him as a person. My new attitude kicked in when he quit the tribunal.

Just seen Collaborators. Perhaps I wasn't paying attention but Baltar was told 'there is a place for you' by the Cylons and whisked away in Exodus. Here he is informed they are taking a vote?

[Brown Rat]

Maybe "the place" is a purpose, a role to play, not a physical berth aboard a Cylon ship. It's interesting that the Sixes are the ones who cast the deciding vote to--apparently--kick him out.

Now that Laura has granted amnesty to collaborators, Baltar could, theoretically, return to the fleet without getting executed.

[Delvo]

She said "anyone in this fleet". Baltar wasn't in the fleet when she said that.

[Brown Rat]

Delvo, you sound like a lawyer.

I also wondered about that. Delvo's reasoning is correct on semantics, but that was not the spirit of the speech. And Roslin is a teacher not a lawyer, though she probably does have lawyers writing her speeches.

I think my favourite part was Baltar's dream:
Caprica Six: Don't make me angry.
Adama: You wouldn't like her when she's angry.
That was a great way to show it was a dream.
