But Adama is only too aware that thats a tall order.
They prove to be prescient words.
Before we get there, though, there are a few further plot points going on here.
She eventually visits Baltar later in the episode requesting to be the first tested under his Cylon detection scheme.
But what to do?
For fear of Boomer turning on him, he tells her that shes absolutely human.
But, you suspect, this is a secret that cant be held for much longer.
Again, this is a story thread that surely cant end well.
And we effectively have two different Boomers acting in two different ways, too.
But then its back to Starbuck, whose cocksure opening gambit is quickly picked apart by Conoy.
Here, the writers push her into more complex ground, as she escalates her torture of Conoy.
But this is still uncomfortable viewing.
The impact on Roslins thinking, however, has to be of note.
This was an uncomfortable episode, and not one I particularly enjoyed watching.
