Saul and Bill have a friendship not even the Cylons can break

[ColdBlackInfinite]

"Don't you want your baby to be safe?"

*Literally snapped a babies neck on Caprica before the fall.

I bet if someone watched only the first season and then this clip, they would be very, very confused.

[DarkNova]

For all his other - many - faults, at least Saul understood loyalty, and that makes him better than the rest of that lot.

[charlestownsend]

Considering that the only successful cylon child was born from a loving relationship it's interesting how this pregnancy failed the moment she doubted his love for her.

[audience]

Tigh transcended his Cylon nature. Loyalty is more important to him.

[kingofthorns]

Dr. Cottle and those one liners! He was such a scene stealer, which is an impressive feat on this show!

[TheNerdForAllSeasons]

Get you a friend like Saul Tigh. The rare man who really did put bros before hoes.

[ihtregister]

Was it just loyalty for Saul at that point? I would like to think the way he was trying to reason with them was because he was taking a broader view of the whole situation from over all the hundreds of years. Pure Cylon pure Human, both hadn't worked, both ended in the same disaster. Putting all ones faith in the hybrid child was a bit of a stretch, but at least it was something new.

This is so Greek. I love it. Zeus and Hera arguing about his bastards, and a power struggle among the democratic Hellenes.

[Captain_Razor_]

Ironic that the toasters that were so quick to choose to leave and abandon humanity immediately seek out the human doctor the moment their pure toaster baby is in trouble.

[FirstNameLastName-woli]

So the one who frakes around all the time behind Sauls back is now yelling at him for doing the same thing??

[drgonzo]

I was feeling bad for caprica 6 losing her baby but then I thought back to the 2 hour mini movie premiere where she snapped that baby's neck in that market or college square after the mother let her hold it. Then I thought of the millions probably billions of babies that died in the nuclear holocaust that she in getting into the colonial defense mainframe so the cylon attackers could just shut off all the colonial defense had a majority hand in killing and my sympathy kinda wains.

[tuxedotservo]

Ellen's natural vindictiveness made her completely deaf to the circumstances.
1) as far as Saul knew, she was DEAD when he hooked up with Caprica Six
2) Saul had no idea his relation to Caprica Six, so initial shock is understandable, but continuing to pound the point home as if Saul knew was her bitterness.
Maybe - just maybe - Ellen being that vengeful, spiteful piece of work is why they couldn't have kids, and not whether or not Saul loved her or not. She may have regained her 13th Colony memories, but she was still the same old Ellen.

Nice to see a patient monitor from the 1990’s has survived so far in to the future! 👍

[suncore]

I love Tyrol's response to the Tigh drama.

[sallybrookner]

OMG, I can’t watch this character destruction, nonsensical dialogue and absurd plotting. It will ruin my appreciation of the first two seasons.

[Mobius_]

I have a hard time accepting that Tyrol would so easily abandon the Galactica for the Cylons.

[MiguelLopez-iste]

Tori grossed me out and this scene made it so clear the cowards the Cylon clones truly were. Athena said it so well when she called that group of Eights, "Disgusting."

[PlugInRides]

Helen was toxic in any form. With Helen and Tori, it's a wonder The Original Five ever managed to create anything.
