Damnit! Of all the times to kill Dee - honestly, I don’t think that character has ever been more likable. There was always a feeling that she and Apollo had no real chemistry - but tonight, damn. Brutal.

Crazy Galactica is fucking creepy, though. Good grief - that walk though the hall, with that guy beating the crap out of his comrade, and no one even responding. That’s not a ship, it’s a madhouse.

You’d think there’d be more random fucking in the hallways as well as violence.
