I haven’t hooked up a vitamin C IV drip to my arm yet, but I’m working on it.

I’m caught up with BSG.

The Cylons really are little children.

Spoiler The claim that the virus could “upload” did not make sense at all to me.

Spoiler I would have used the plague as leverage (perhaps send a message to the Cylons that the strain was going to be spread on Earth when they found it).

Spoiler Executing Karen seemed way over the top. Civilians should not be held accountable to that level. A friend of mine ministering to the Dutch immigrant community in Canada told me he knew couples who met and got married in Holland during the German occupation of that country. After the war was over they both finally revealed to the other that they had been working for the underground. Neither of them had been permitted to tell the other one. You tell your spouse what you do you only put her in danger. It’s your reponsibility what happens if you break that code.

Spoiler The suicide bombing didn’t seem as bad to me as simply targeting humans for their wearing a police uniform.

In general, the dynamics of an underground against an alien regime and against collaborators with that regime is directly applicable to what is going on in the Evangelical subculture. We would only need to add another group that insisted one could be “humanly governed” in the spiritual realm so that it didn’t matter whether one helped the Cylons in the real world. Every time we see Christians berated for not voting for a third-party candidate or berated for not staying within the establishment two-party system, we are seeing the same issues playing out.

Spoilers Has Balthar seen six cylons or seven? He mentioned seven? Are those the seven we have seen? Was the guy who committed suicide (with the help of massive explosives) a human or a cylon. I thought he spoke to the cylon by name just before he detonated. But maybe he was speaking to his dead wife…

Spoilers So Balthar must be a Cylon, one of the remaining five. If that is not true that there are simply too many weird loose ends to account for.

Spoilers Hopefully, the fact that her husbanch defended her race will keep her from completely freaking out when she learns her baby is still alive and was taken from her.
