[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4177862, member: 710"] I think she always had a tendency to be evil, or at least do what's most convenient. Wasn't she also one of the few that were trying to rig the election? I think he honestly wanted to know about the order himself. The question might be more what Zarek wanted to achieve and giving it to him? Did he want Apollo to stumble? Or did he want to make Apollo stand up to Roslin, so everybody would learn that he has his own opinions and goals, and he's willing to stand for them? Did he want to show Apollo - and the rest - that Roslin is doing good things, and one can trust her (which would assume Zarek knew what would happen?) I think, as someone else mentioned already (either here or in the episode the last weak) Apollo might be set up to become the next president. And to be a viable president, he needs to confront Roslin and to stand up to her. He needs to make his own mark. As a side note, Roslin is not the grateful type - she wanted to execute Baltar and gave him no benefit of the doubt, despite him helping and even saving her life a few times. And that Apollo stood up against his own father and commander is also forgotten quickly. Strangely enough, I still like her character. ;) I am not sure it had anything to do with acting, unless you tell me that the Basetars are better actors then the real actors ;). Basically, anyone could have said "the ressourection ship didn't make the jump" - you can't fail to deliver that line. The movement of the Basestars was all that was needed to understand what would happen next. The most confusing part for me where the scenes with Cally - we basically saw the scenes from her drugged perspective, and the muted voice of Tyrol and the scenes with Torys were ... blurred. But that nonetheless meant it was confusing, probably just as confused as Cally was. The old prophecy that the "Dying Leader will not reach Earth" might come true alone through the fact that it's Starbuck that is now searching for it, while the fleet itself seems off-course since it ignored her at the Nebula. So don't get to attached to the Roslin/Adama relationship (how nice him reading books to her might be), because she'll die soon. ;) [/QUOTE]
