“I think you should leave now, Mr. Vice PResident”  
“Shoot them”  
I was just going to post that as a joke.  
Damn!

Frak!, I never was a fan of the political Quorum crap, but I never expected Zarek to take them out…

Once Adama regains control of the ship, I’m sure that Gaeta and Zarek will become _intimately_ familiar with Mister Airlock…

I just hope I get to see the look on Gaeta’s face when Zarek betrays him.

Yeah, I expected her to say, “Don’t you recognize me? I’m the one appearing to you…”

Lame, but I expected it.

Do not taunt Alkie Gruff Tigh!

I doubt that Gaeta has the guts to do the honorable thing and eat a bullet, the frakker’s got no spine, glowing or otherwise…
