[QUOTE="Jhamin, post: 1264533, member: 1023"] See, to me that just came off as lazy and overblown. We were supposed to be horrified at the awful decisions our good-hearted characters were forced to make. It was so over the top that it was almost funny. My girlfriend wondered aloud of the producers couldn't find a basket of kittens for her to play with just before the nukes dropped. Maybe a Nun could have thrown her body in front to the blast? It was just weak. From my point of view, the writers had three characters make live/die decisions for others in part two, and two of the three were immediatly undercut. *Depressurize the burning part of Galactica - Pretty harsh, but the right thing to do. *Leave the non-ftl civilian ships to their fate, don't wait for them to x-fer passangers. Oh wait, they got blown up before we could even leave. I guess we don't have to wonder if we made the right decision. *Pick a random guy to frame as a Cylon so I can cover my but while pointing out the cylon thingie (which was never mentioned again). How big a jerk am I for selling out an innocent? Oh wait, I guess he really *was* a Cylon so it all worked out. (OK, so it was Baltar. But now he has unknowing done a good thing for the wrong reason. IF you want him flawed, let him be.) [/QUOTE]
