Message: <blockquote data-quote="Storm Raven" data-source="post: 2475876" data-attributes="member: 307">Because they appear to have repreatedly not used their best efforts to destroy the humans. Look at Helo's story - the cylons explicitly said they weren't going to kill him unless he went the "wrong way". The Galactica seems to have been herded in a similar fashion. The cylons show up, make what appears to be a token effort to cause damage, and then get defeated - and impart information to the crew of the Galactica in the process.He certainly has put the fleet in jeopardy for some trivial reasons. And asserted that he needed certain miltiary hardware that he ended up not needed. In point of fact, I'd point to the whole Boomer-on-the-Base-Star situation as evidence that the cylons aren't doing their best to destroy Galactica: they could have killed or captured Boomer when she landed, and then blown the Galactica apart if they had wanted. But they didn't.None of which directly threaten the lives of the members of the fleet. The recklessness you posit is one of political issues, not one of security issues. And most of them were actually quite reasonable decisions. Who exactly has Roslin hurt by concealing her cancer? Why should she not take the medicine prescribed for her condition? With respect to Baltar, she had a choice between a known problem (as she then perceived it) in Zarek (a known and unrepentant terrorist), and Baltar, who seemed, at that time, to merely be an eccentric genius.I'm just pointing out the way he has behaved thus far. He likes to fight, that's his first instinct. He is willing to put the fleet in harm's way to do it, or just to rescue a downed pilot who (when he made the decision) may or may not be dead. He's dangerous, more so than it seems that Roslin could ever be.</blockquote>
