True. Little info to make accurate predictions. Let's keep 'em comin' though!

The Cylon's will be on the brink of triumph when Daggett will save all of humanity.

Well, whatever you do, don't go to the scifi.com main page for BGS. They put fraking spoilers for Ep 10 right on the front page! I'm seriously frustrated by that.

Something a few pointed out about this episode and the last episode is the opening credits in the first episode say there's 47,875 survivors.

This episode the opening credits say that there's 47,874 survivors left (with Tarn dying last episode).

So that means in the next episode there may very well be something like 47,850 or less survivors left.

Yeah, I hope they keep it updated for continuity. That would be cool attention to detail.

The official website keeps track of how many Vipers are active, so I would hope so.

And left the military in charge when its quite clear early on that Adama just wants to fight? Ha, no.

Though I'm more on Adama's side than anything, I think its best to sit back and wait for some explanations. We really no SO LITTLE about the Cylons, their plans(other than they have one...), etc, that its near impossible to make any useful predictions.

Humanity is on the brink of extinction and you think all Adama wants to do is fight? Adama wants to keep humanity alive any way that is physically possible.

You're missing something important here.

You said that she should have resigned IMMEDIATELY after finding out she was sick. Well, ignoring the fact that she wasn't President yet and jumping time a bit, at that point, Adama is ONLY set on fighting the Cylons. It takes a lot of convincing to get him to actually protect the people, and he still goes on to endanger the civilian fleet multiple times.

When did he needlessly endanger the colonial fleet on purpose? Every time there has been conflict or combat initiated by Adama there has been a good reason behind it (get fuel, stay alive).

And they are kinda on the run and at war. I don't recall Galactica or the fleet running into any Cylon ships that didn't shoot first.

 

[Fast Learner]

He needlesssly endangered the fleet in episode 7 or so, when he hung around the area Starbuck crashed in. For ages. Burning up tons of fuel (over half their reserves). To save one person while massively endangering 50,000 people. He had a choice, and he needlessly endangered the colonial fleet on purpose.

Either way things are going to go from bad to worse this season because neither Adama or Roslin are in charge now...

I'm pretty sure next episode we are going to see how things are going to be disastrous.

I don't think Adama is all about fighting, because during the first season Laura Roslin has generally favoured some of the more violent solutions. Such as the prison riot, where she didn't even want to negotiate, or the fact that she ordered the execution of the Leoban model cylon. Adama is after all the son of a civil rights lawyer so that does influence a bit of his thinking, though disbanding that independant tribunal sort of goes against supporting civil rights. For one thing I'd say that the fleet needs both of them, as we're probably going to see through the rest of the season.
