Baltar aquitted!

[MrScorpio]

Wow!

[Xipe Totec]

1. Fraking lawyers!

[MrScorpio]

2. Frakkin' frak the frakkers

[Pierre.Suave]

3. You did not know that?

Seriously?

it has been a year and a half since that aired...

[MrScorpio]

4. Ahem*

Play the Frakkin' game, will you?

[Dr. Strange]

5. Gods-damned legal system!

It's rigged, I tell ya!

[Moochy]

6. This whole frakkin court is out of order!!!

No Frakking Justice, No Frakking Peace!

[JTG of the PRB]

7. Good! It was a sham to try him for our guilty conscience!

He may be a traitor, and frak if I didn't try to keep him from getting elected, but it was wrong to try and blame one man for the sins we've ALL committed!

[Dr. Strange]

11. Welcome to my Ignore list!

Let me guess. You're one of the ones who was living it up on the Galactica while us slags had to live under the iron boot of the Cylon occupation? Baltar deserves to fry!

[JTG of the PRB]

14. I was just as much under their heel as anybody else was!

I spent a month in that frakking prison of theirs because I was out after the ordered curfew when the resistance began! I heard the screams as they tortured other prisoners for information they didn't have, as they killed us one by one! You think I don't still hear those screams in my sleep? I do. I do.

Baltar may have been wrong, but what evidence do you have that he directly did this to us? What solid evidence do you have that Gaius Frakking Baltar is 100% responsible for everything that happened down on New Caprica? Until you PROVE to me that he directly ordered those frakking toasters to do everything they did, or until you PROVE to me that he's one of them, I will stand by what I said!

Lee Adama was right. We're not a civilization; we're a gang. If we have any hope of EVER becoming a civilization again, how can we excuse killing Gaius Frakking Baltar just because we WANT to?

[Dr. Strange]

15. Evidence? Oh yes, due process.

Where was this precious due process for our fellow compatriots who were mowed down by the toasters? Oh that's right, they didn't get due process. They got the business end of the Cylon sword while Baltar conspired and gambled with our lives. I didn't see him pounding the mud, helping us out, much less getting his sorry ass landed in prison. Yeah, boo hoo Baltar.

No thanks, I'll save my tears for the real victims. The ones I also hear screaming in my sleep. Or at least, used to hear screaming. Nowadays I keep hearing this weird-ass song about "There must be some kind of way out of here" or something. I've never suffered from auditory delusions before. I hope it's nothing serious.

[JTG of the PRB]

23. What did you just say?

You... You hear the music too? I thought I was the only one...

[Moochy]

8. Ooh the goose bumps scene with Starbuck

:D bsg nerds unite!

[KitchenWitch]

9. Who?

[MrScorpio]

10. That's what Horton heard

[Deja Q]

12. The Cylons killed Baltar in the 1978 movie.

:evilfrown:

[jobycom]

13. And he lived in the series. I'm sure that's part of my emotional confusion to this day.

Glad to see you around. :)

[Orrex]

18. I loved the part when the Galactica kids played softball

And let's not forget those flying motorcycles!

[madrchsod]

16. the dude has 6 and the all those babes in the cult

when does he have the time and energy?

[Withywindle]

19. I know, that's not the way it's supposed to go.

Manson is supposed have the scary harem of hippie babes BEFORE the trial, not after!

[Xipe Totec]

24. They worship at the Baltar Altar

:rofl:

[Orrex]

17. I'm not a huge fan of the series, but...

Science fiction courtroom stories are always horrible.

Always.


With maybe one or two exceptions in the history of the genre.

When Apollo was giving he's "everyone is forgiven except Baltar," I wanted to drive a pencil into each ear until they met somewhere in the middle.






YMMV, of course.

[Political Heretic]

20. Yeah... well I loved that speech. One of my favorite bits from the whole series.

But then, I wasn't focusing on trial realism or anything.

[Orrex]

21. The first 90 minutes of the speech were okay. After that it kind of dragged on

As I said, YMMV.

But, for the record, I couldn't care less for trial realism. If I want that, I'll switch on CourtTV, or whatever it's called these days.

[Political Heretic]

22. lol, cute :)

I laughed.
