Battlestar Galactica | Sneaking Roslin off Galactica

[@alexashton6501]

Doc Cottle is by far one of my favourite characters... he's just over everything.

[@merlyworm]

Sherman Cottle was one of the better characters on the show. he owned every scene he was in.

[@annoyed707]

@@merlyworm A very experienced and talented Canadian actor, who passed on not too long ago.

The actor who played Doc Cottle originally auditioned for the role of Saul Tigh.

"he's just over everything" lol - perfect description.

[@atomsmash100]

Laura Roslin was such an incredibly powerful character. It is hard to imagine another actress who could have filled this role the way that Mary McDonnell did.

5:24 about the only time we see the hangar bay elevator from the inside riding up to the landing bay

[@SmokeyBCN]

I wish we saw more shots of the hangar pod itself. you can see there are walkways and other features there. also the fact the elevators go right up to the pods implies that the frequently seen interior hangars are also part of the moving mechanisms, but we never see what effect this has on the internal connections between the hangars and the rest of the ship. are there umbilical corridors linking them? or openings that align with each other as the pods move?

[@sparrowlt]

@@SmokeyBCN there is also somewhere a way to move Vipers and Raptors from one pod to the other (they move the entire air wing from the port "museum" pod to the operational starboard in the miniseries..and in the final episodes they move a lot of Raptors to the museum deck .wich is shown pressurized and intact.. meaning they didnt landed there throught the windows). Whatever it is its in the pod struts and its "collapsable"

[@ianbauer7118]

This is such an important scene for Tigh. He chooses not to shoot down Apollo and Roslins ship, something he has every right to do. He shows you that he really "doesn't want a command", which is a big deal because he has declared martial law and was acting like a military dictator. Good for him

[@stonem0013]

He doesn't actually have a right to do it, legally and morally speaking.

[@danielhaire6677]

Illegally removing your Commander in Chief (which is what Tigh) had done is Treason which is a crime. Tigh had no right to do anything except take a bullet to the head.

[@LabradorIndependent]

He also isn't seriously going to kill Lee. Can you imagine having that chat when Adama wakes up?

Roslin is hypocritical she says Tigh crossed the she crossed the line first instead of talking it out with Adama she started it

[@sparrowlt]

@Fabian Kirchgessner Both of them screwed up .. Rosling deciding to completelly bypass Adama and the later overreacting without trying to talk things out or at least meet with Rosling before deciding to throw away the political gov ... This series never was about good vs evil.. even the main characters screw up and make what we see as very bad calls

[@danielhaire6677]

Ture, she probably should have talked things out with Adama, but it doesn't change the fact that as President she is the Commander in Chief of the Colonial Military. Tigh had no right to take her prisoner. What he did is called treason.

[@parkerbond9400]

If I had a nickel for every time Roslin had to escape off the Galactica via a Raptor (and almost got shot down by a viper) to join a dubious ally, while leaving behind someone she wanted to come with her, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice...

[@LangstoniusRex]

Billy...

[@stonem0013]

Billy's behaviour makes no sense here. If he really opposed Roslin's plan, he wouldn't have helped her escape.

[@Arkalius80]

He didn't want to be involved in the conflict that would arise, it doesn't mean he is opposed to her choice to do what she's doing.

[@stonem0013]

@@Arkalius80 he literally says he is firmly against her plan, as it will split the fleet.

[@chrisdefresne3235]

He was loyal to Roslin, but he wasn't suicidal.

[@phrophetsamgames]

IRL, this was a possible solution to Billy's actor. If he didn't want to come back, Roslin would have taken it as a betrayal and let the character just disappear into the fleet. Billy ended up being killed off instead later on, which for me was a better sendoff.

[@safebox36]

You can support someone's plan in principle but not take part. It's the same reason reason people write a message online but don't go out and protest.
