Ah, yeah, they did lose some folks in that one.  I am sure SAR stuff was off screen.  I doubt any pilots lived, but don't think they had any choice other than to recover what they could of the vipers.

Political Correctness is really Political Censorship

A tax code should exist to procure the funds necessary for the operation of government, not to manipulate human or business behavior.

The last count I did had them placed as somewhere around 30 vipers total if there's only 2-3 being unserviceable.  They've been cannabilizing those for spare parts (hence the need for the new scout-ship). 

Yeah, they've been doing their best to stay consistent, but on occasion they make a few mistakes.  At least they do their best...

I cannot wait to see that witch bite the bullet.

I just watched "Pegasus" last night with my roommate and gf, and we all cheered when the "Cylon Interrogator" got slammed. It was just one of those great moments in TV, I think, when the Chief and Helo put aside their...hostilities.

 I personally think, getting a bolt in the side of the head, was too quick ,for that piece of garbage.

Indeed.

I was also fond of Baltar telling the guards to get out when he was brought in to interrogate the Number Six model.
"Dialogue from a play, Hamlet to Horatio: 'There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.' Dialogue from a play written long before men took to the sky. There are more things in heaven and earth, and in the sky, than perhaps can be dreamt of. And somewhere in between heaven, the sky, the earth, lies the Twilight Zone."

The look of shock on the guards face was priceless.

So, yeah. Helo and the Chief get +100 points from me. And you're right, it was a bit too quick for scum like that. But it was awesome how they zoomed the camera in on the bolt. Priceless.

I like the whole episode. It has shown the side of human nature we try to forget about or don't like to even think about. And shows why the Cylons believe why we need to be exterminated.

 There is nothing in our history, or human nature, that indicates, we will not want revenge, and try to exterminate them first.

 If you look at it in the right perspective, we are both machines. One biological the other a mix. And when they show both views, of the conflict. The lines between good and evil, moral and immoral, become blurred. And become a matter of perspective.

 Both sides really think they are fighting for survival. And their cause is just.

Which truly is an important facet of real wars...very few people actually think of themselves as truly evil...
