Chapter 41-1 Eye of the Storm

[LiamKerrington]

Damn Liam! Very nice post on Datu's character arc. I think my eyeballs almost started sweating somewhere in the reading of this and thinking of poor Datu at the end of 41-1... <sniff>

I am sorry. This was not my intention.

I think Datu will be OK. Sure, Tanya is saying he is going to die, but what would you expect her to say? She, Saul and Victor are the only ones that know about the super slow turn. Her public position is that they were not infected. If the heat gets really hot on Datu, will she let others know about her and Saul?

A very good point and a very good question.

A few chapters back we were discussin the fracture of the Dunbar /Colony alliance. That may still happen. Now, we have another fissure, infected vs non infected. How does that play out? Michael may lose his soldiers and be forced to work with Victor. Jut how many Cylons, I mean slow turners are out there? There will be finger pointing and a desire to test everyone. How does that further fracture everything? It is really not paranoia if it "turns" out people ARE out to get you.

Funny - before I read your posting I had started to draw parallels between WA and the new BSG myself ...

The one thing I did take from this episode CJ related is Michael really thought it would be a good plan to manhandle a cripple. Seems to me like that's not the greatest plan ever.

That was humiliating. I still don'T get it. If it comes to warm and friendly or loving feeling Michael is socially inapt, normally he is very much focussed on his tasks, but if things start to piss him he becomes a real pain in the ass - especially an unreliable hotshot. Reminds me of him characterizing Saul in the beginning of WA ... What has happened with Michael? Or has he finally started to reveal his "bad" sides which were always there?
