Little does she know how ridiculously, stupidly integrated with history her life will be... And then there's Callie. Hooked up with and married a Cylon...banged some other guy who knocked her up...that's not exactly a hand you're going to go 'all in' on. Of course, deciding the best option is to fold your kid's hand as WELL as your own is just lame. Good riddance. Aaaah, Laurrest Foroslinump.

Yeah, the thing is, they must've had an idea about her baby by the time they were writing the "lets airlock cally" episode. It could be an oversight, but either way. BOO Cally. I think Cliff makes a good point about her and Adama maybe stepping down. <a href="http://www.galacticawatercooler.com/2009/01/24/gwc-podcast-147/" rel="nofollow">GWC#147</a> got me thinking about how Adama is the one who won't let Roslin alone. The two are basically co-dictators and with Roslin abdicating, Adama's having trouble getting the fleet to do what he wants. He wants Roslin back so he can keep being in control (His solution, to declare things military matters, is rather inelegant). These guys have held on to the forms of their old society but discarded their meaning. Not that I'm saying I'd do any better in their shoes. Hey Ack!

I'm hoping it was an oversight of the writers because that just makes me hate her even MORE than I did when she was still alive lol.

No TV show can keep everything it does to THAT level. Besides, I look at this episode as the proverbial 'set up' show...they've shown you some of the underlying issues that are simmering away, and in the next show or two we get to watch it all boil over. I'm curious to see what the Roslyn character does from this point on. She basically used this religious figurehead characterization she'd been handed as a blunt instrument to hammer her wants and her ideas in to everyone's heads whether they wanted them there or not. Now that those ideals have basically led to nothing but a giant crossroads in the sky, she actually has to start getting back to figuring out what exactly she wants...not just for herself, but also for her people (if she even has any further interest in governing. I could actually see both her and Adama stepping down very soon, kind of a "You all wanna complain and pretend like this shit's easy? Here's the reins of power...have fun and frak yourselves.")

I think it was a bad attempt to run like Forest Gump with his braces on. Good God lady learn to RUN! Also what's with the cone head?? lol Hard to cover all that hair under there eh? Yeah that bugged me this episode lol Roslin's running in this episode really was scary, who the hell runs like that? I think it was a bad attempt to run like Forest Gump with his braces on.
