woodfaceI really want to know more about Sagittaron's position within the Colonies. The BSG Wikipedia seems to speculate that the exploitation of Sagittaron already happened before the Colonies were unified, but it didn't cease afterwards. It's easy to see the Colonies as this somewhat utopic society that got wiped out, but it really wasn't. In 'Water' Roslin already gives some indication when she mentions the death of those 15 people because of a decision Adar made. Makes me wonder what other issues the Colonies had to deal with beside Sagittaron.
What inrigues me is that Dualla seems to completely disagree with Zarek. It's making me wonder if there is a sort of caste system on Sagittaron. But then what does he mean with "stumps"? Is he referring to how the other colonies see the sagittarans? Again, the latter doesn't seem likely to me. But if that is not the case, then he must be referring to a lower class on Sagittaron itself. So is there a caste system anyway? It would explain why Dualla seems to be less likely to take Zarek's side.
Maybe if we knew whether the goverment building Zarek attacked was Colonial or Sagittaran? If it was Colonial, that would probably confirm Zarek's hatred towards the Colonial goverment and how it has treated Sagittaron. But then, shouldn't Dualla have some problems with it too? So I am leaning towards the explanation that he attacked a Sagittaron goverment building and that it was an already internal situation, similar to a caste system that probably was excepted by the Colonial goverment as well.
Err, does that make sense?
On a completely different, the Lee factor. I have seem some people say that Lee is not someone to stick to the rules and disobeys orders. Most of the times they use KLG to back this up. I disagree, though. Lee strikes me as someone who holds the rules as holy and will follow orders on the condition that those orders are for the good of the system he believes in. Yes, Lee read Zarek's book at the Academy. I think he probably even agreed with some of Zarek's points, but I also think that Lee believes in the Colonial goverment as the way of making life better for people. The only reason he could be a part of the military is because he truly believes that military is protecting something that is worth it. He however does not believe that he should not question his actions. So yes, he does disobey some orders, but only if by disobeying them he believes to be protecting those ideals. It really is a matter of the exception to the rule.
Ah, Adama. He really does still think that his ship and his crew are one side and the people and Roslin the other. Which is somewhat in contradiction with the words he spoke in Water about not wanting to turn the people into the enemies of the state.
Kara, Kara, Kara. How much do I love thee? A whole lot. Damn, she's hot and such a bad influence on Boxey.
Seriously, how can anyone not see that Baltar is completely making everything up?
I think I just ran out of things to say. Except; ewwwl half naked Tyrol. Oh and Cally kicks so much ass.
ETA: - Zarek said "god" not "gods".
- Now they spelled it "frak" and "frakking".
