I guess this is Lee getting his feeler from the Government.

[buerger23]

This is gonna be a gooder. Looks like Lee's getting the job he wants. But I'm sure something will go wrong.

I think they will set him up to be the leader. What if he needs to assume the presdiency because laura is unable to continue and he becomes the dying leader. It seems strange that since day one we have known who this is. It makes it to easy to be her since day one and will be a nice little twist. What happens to Zarek then? Does he step down or is he killed?

Also, do you think at some point lee will end up back in the cockpit? I mean he seems to be the indivdual that most symbolizes this has all happened before and it will all happen again. He's a pilot, he's not, he is again, now he's not.

I don't think that they would just give the presidency to Lee. First, wouldn't Zarek be her logical successor and second, wouldn't it be a bit out of character for Lee to simply take the office of the president? I mean he seems to be pretty big on democracy and justice so I would find it a bit odd if he'd just take an office he hadn't officially been elected for.
It's not that I can't see him become leader/President at some point in the future, I think it's just not right now. Maybe Laura Roslin sets him up though to take over her office in case she's too sick to continue. But I think she will try to stay in office as long as she can, even though her health might take a turn for the worse at any time.

As for Lee ending up back in the cockpit: I could see him stepping in whenever there's a huge battle and his experience is needed but I don't think he'll return to regular flight status anytime soon.

[Neakal]

In all honesty, the sheer looks of the promo picture baffles me immensely since after what happened at the trial, Id imagine Roslin wouldn't even want to face Lee let alone set him as her successsor. Although I had the same feeling with regards to Adama and Lee although I can imagine their relationship being slightly fixed due to Lee's role in the battle and finding Kara.

Oh well. We will see. Soon

[fr33lancer]

Lee takes on the role of President after Laura's reemergent cancer and because Tom's got a new job as the fith cylon ; ) (Pure speculation)

30 minutes until Stream version is online!

[caprica_six]

This is something I've been hoping for. Yes the trial did set Lee and the Pres back a bit, but I think that Lee would make sense as our new leader and protector. This would make for good character development.

As for Tom Zarek, that would be cool if she had to let him take over, then he was the final cylon! That would be a cool twist since in the following episodes toward the end of the first have has to do alot with Roslin. It makes for a VERY interesting plot line!

I like!!

If you get a "stay tuned" picture wait then REFRESH the page, it won't start unless you do!

[positron]

So I tuned in to the stream but I guess my connection is too slow because it's skipping and that's driving me crazy. i watched the intro and then I got out. I'll just catch the full episode tonight, besides my home theatre setup for my TV is better than the sound system setup on my computer anyway. From the intro I can tell it's going to be a great episode yes!

[Shane]

It was great!!!!! Another perfect episode if I say so myself. I'll add the poll closer to airing time for TV.

[ThPrime]

I know that agitated emotional characters are often seen as more dramatic and therefore "better" but still... some of the best performances from Sackhoff, Olmos and McDonnell in the entire series. Not a dry eye in the house for shippers.

And I take back what I said about Roslin. She's dying. She's all business, no nonsense, rational and logical. She won't get any do-overs. She's right. Starbuck's right. Where is this gonna go?!?

This is like a seamless ten part miniseries that draws on all three seasons as background. Great for us but its gotta be tough on new viewers.

Natalie is one badass Cylon who is all business, no nonsense, rational and logical. I hope her story continues.

Agreed! Now she's going some "heavy" metal to go along with her.
