All Cain had was herself as judge and jury (literally, in Tyrol and Helo's case) and no grasp that she was as bad, if not worse, than the enemy that she sought revenge against. This is true. While I'm interested in the idea of scenes that give greater context for how she became the way she was, now that I've seen what a true monster she became I'm not sure I really want to see her 'humanised' if that makes sense? I'm so revolted by her. And I don't know how any scene could explain why she SHOT someone who tried to act as her conscience. But then I'll wait and see the extended DVD...
I don’t think it was an easy choice for Lee to argue to leave Kara and the others behind to fend for themselves, but their overall mission was to ensure the survival of humanity and that is what he was trying to do Absolutely! Again, Adama demonstrates selective memory/reasoning. What he has to say to Lee here is really valid and moving and necessary. But he ignores his own advice on so many occasions that I find it hard to see past that. And there are times when he's just SO hard on his son, so unwilling to listen to reason... *rambles off into rant territory*
every single one of them has failures and regrets that they must live with. While out of necessity they are forgiven now, they will eventually be judged by history, if not by themselves. Mmm, that was the message of Razor, wasn't it? So dark! I'm feeling the terrible weight of that for Lee in a new way. I am glad though that we got to see him in command and experiencing all the challenges of what that command meant. I thought Razor showed his growth really well but wow, Lee will never let himself off the hook for any of this.
