More importantly though, is the idea that Adama trusts her - maybe even more than his own son, because the President has established a sense of divided loyalties with Apollo. So he sends her to do things for him, entrusts her with confidences; in a real way I think she represents his dead son to him. She's obviously not the best interrogator, or even the best poker player (which I think they're weirdly enough suggesting that Balthazar is, I guess it's hard to read the face of insane geniuses).I spent the end of this episode wondering how many Vipers they actually had left now, and how many pilots. Pretty soon they're going to have to go to the prison ship again just so they get some pilots.</blockquote>
