What a place to end the episode.
The Pegasus is a new warship, the Galactica is very old. Those are not good odds. Then again, the show isn't called Battlestar Pegasus :-D

The scene where Gaius tells the prisoner 6 that he's there to help her is one of my favorites of the series. So raw and honest and human, from both the human and cylon.
And the nasty scene with Sharon of course is the opposite :-(
We humans suck sometimes.

I always look forward to your BSG reactions btw. This one definitely deserved some top tier cursing. :)

In answer to your one question. I think they are following Galactica because it's where the human fleet is. That fleet could theoretically colonize, populate a planet, and be a future threat. The Pegasus hasn't been trying to escape to resettle, it has just been acting as a warship. And long term, that's a losing plan so it's not really a priority.

Also! Galactica has moved to a protect the fleet standpoint and Pegasus is obvs in Galactica's initial state of bringing the fight to the cylons. It's fascinating to see those viewpoints intersect

Amazing dichotomy tbh. The Pegasus is here, we can lay down our burdens but this isn't at all what we want to think of ourselves moving forward. It really asks you to draw lines around what you're willing to accept; are the cylons just machines and is abusing them okay, or does anything go in times of war. Do we treat the cylons like living beings and have to rationalize with them or do we dehumanize and do they deserve it. It adds such a layer to those interactions and the cylon rebellion as a whole
