Message: <blockquote data-quote="Storm Raven" data-source="post: 2475173" data-attributes="member: 307">Of course, once Adama arrested the president, what was his subsequent course of action going to be? It's hard to say that "if it were Adama nobody would have sided with Roslin", because some people clearly did. Further, it is also hard to blame subsequent events on Tigh, because once you arrest the President, what do you do next? Baltar was missing on Kobol at the time, what do you do other than declare martial law once you have decapitated your own government?Apollo seemed pretty much opposed to the Commander's decision to arrest Roslin from the get-go. I don't think his father's medical status made a whole lot of difference.True, we are now going to have internal strife among the humans. Because Roslin appears to be willing to stand up for democratic rule in the face of Adama and Tigh.I tend to think the second is true. I think Tigh and Adama have bitten off much more than they can chew, and have stirred up a hornet's nest that is bigger than either of them thought it could possibly be. Adama is used to being obeyed, so is Tigh for that matter. Being defied doesn't register with them as an acceptable course of action. But they forget that the Galactica is part of a larger fleet, made up of people who aren't subject to orders.I think they will charge her (destruction of military assets maybe), but the outcome seems uncertain.She's pond scum at best. A relatively hot woman who latched on to something of a rising star, and uses sex to manipulate him. At worst, she's a cylon.I don't think he passed on the information - something of that magnitude would have rated a scene in the show if he had. Of course, he'd have had to explain how he got the information, which clearly he doesn't want to do. Interesting observation about Six.I also think that the cylons want the humans to find Kobol, find the Arrow of Apollo, and find earth. I don't know why, but the cylons seem to want the humans to succeed at that.</blockquote>
