Message: <blockquote data-quote="LightPhoenix" data-source="post: 2480112" data-attributes="member: 115">A point that I haven't seen anyone make with regards to Roslin/Starbuck/Adama is the fact that Adama lied to the fleet. Starbuck started off on Adama's side, it wasn't until she found out that he, the man that is almost a father to her, lied to her and everyone else that she chose her side. Starbuck could have just said, "frak you all" and done her merry thing. She chose to believe the person who she thought was being truthful. Is that the case? We'll have to wait and see. Side point, related to my post above - Starbuck seems to have some degree of spirituality, for her to throw in with Roslin. An aspect of her and everyone save Roslin that is vastly downplayed. Since I haven't weighed in on the Adama/Roslin conflict, I think the whole purpose of their plot isn't to show one side or the other as bad. I think what is really being shown here is that military and civilians exist in a symbiotic relationship. When they fight each other instead of working together, that causes chaos and destruction. Something that definitely can not be plaguing the Humans at this point in time. Roslin and Adama shouldn't be at odds, they should be working together, and both of them are too damned stubborn for their own good. The upside is, when they do start working together, their leadership will be a powerful force for the Humans. There's going to be differences, and negotiation, those must by necessity exist. Mutinies and martial law are not the answer though. By the way, there's your new alliterative sourcebook - Mutinies and Martial Law. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
