I was thinking about Zarek and everything that happened and I have to
say that it's something Lee created. He's the one that kept Starbuck
from whacking him in Bastile Day when he took over the prison ship.

That said, I was surprised when he ordered the Quorum executed; I knew
then that there was no way he'd worm his way out of this one and every
one of the ringleaders would wind up dead. Watching the episode I
realized just how much of a puppet master he was; he'd make a leading
statement and let the mark come to his own conclusion or whisper ideas
in the ear of someone malleable, but until this episode he never really
came out and showed his true colors where not even his staunchest
apologist could claim he was anything but what he was.

I have a feeling that the anti-Cylon faction is going to be mighty quiet
if not completely discredited; Zarek used those feelings to justify what
he did and I don't think the people will be too happy in being used as
pawns in the coup.

Kurt
