      Lee made a counter-offer. The blackmarket stays in operation as long as no more lines are crossed. The goons didn't respond to Lee shooting Phelan because one of them was going to become the new head of the organization, so why risk it by turning on Lee?

    BSG was a fantastic series, but one of it's biggest weaknesses was introducing some huge, fleet-wide problem and then solving it within the same episode. Sometimes this works okay, but BSG did it far too often. Some of the better plot threads were ones that spanned many episodes and were interwoven with other plot threads.

  • @Negativvv

    I know it's just TV and a self enclosed episode at that but the whole thing was somewhat comical. How on earth did those goons make it off Pegasus after killing Fisk?! I know that Six did after killing Cain but that was an easy explanation floated in the show in that it was the chaotic aftermath of a battle.
    You'd assume security would have been tightened since then so Fisk would have been pretty safe and even if the Marine guards were paid off I still can't see how the goons would have got off the ship. Pegasus was shown to be crawling with CCTV and would have logs of everything coming in and out. You'd also assume Adama might have mobilised his Marines immediately to start upsetting every ship that's had people visit the Pegasus, you might even go as far to think the XO or another high ranking officer on Pegasus would have done this before Adama found out.
    Or maybe Adama just didn't like Fisk and decided to keep it all low key but even that wouldn't make sense as killing a senior officer in the Colonial Fleet undermines the military's authority and he'd need to send a clear message to everyone that this wouldn't be tolerated.

    • @Vnx

    They didn't show it, but at the end of this scene the woman basically screams at Lee and says she can't be who she needs him to be. Really bothered me. Lee just saved her and her daughter. What??? Why not simply say, "Thank you for saving me from being beaten up more and my daughter from sex trafficking!" This felt like a rare misstep from BSG which was otherwise such a great show.

    • @MannyLectro
      @MannyLectro 4 года назад +30

      I completely disagree. People are not perfect. She certainly wasn't. And she was right. He may have saved her, but he was another of her captors. He didn't want her for who she was, he wanted her to be the woman he lost. By his position in the ranks of the fleet, and by being the sole provider for what she needed, he litteraly had her under his control, wether he was aware or not. At this very moment, he freed her from her other captors, but she was still his prisoner.
      You see him as the good guy who saved her. She saw him as an abuser who killed another one thinking he was freeing her, when he wasn't, really. Sure, he was a lot better than the one he killed, but still.
      And it's OK. BSG isn't about good or bad guys. Just like in reality, everyone is in shades of grey. What Lee did here was toxic. He tried to justify it by giving her what he thought she needed, but in the end he was using her, juste like the others.

    • @stormthrush37
      @stormthrush37 4 года назад +16

      ​@@MannyLectro Hmm. You make some very good points I hadn't recognized before. Guess that's an angle I missed when I watched it. Thanks for explaining. And yes, you're right about BSG being about shades of gray.
      EDIT: that said and upon further reflection I'm not sure how what Lee did was "toxic" in saving her; perhaps you meant something else or maybe I'm missing something. Additionally, I think in this world we're _all_ captives because of the necessities of human existence, some of us more than others when the needed resources are absent or scarce for once reason or another - food, water, shelter, medicine, protection, connection, entertainment, and others - and the best we can usually and realistically achieve with few if any exceptions is the lightest thumb possible, and undeniably there are people that are not going to be happy no matter what you do and some situations are never going to make anyone happy and the only choice you're sometimes left with is being honest about how you really feel about it or hiding your pain. That's certainly another way of looking at the ending: her being honest with the one person she felt like she could safely be honest with, about how trapped she still felt in her situation despite being physically freed.

    • @TommygunNG
      @TommygunNG 4 года назад +9

      @@stormthrush37 BSG was always about making good guys less good and bad guys less bad. It was the political agenda of the makers from the beginning--which, I will remind everyone, was only a few years after 9/11. Recall Roslin considering her call on the Olympic Carrier a mistake (Episode: "33"). They even did the, "Blame the Colonies first" thing about the Cylon holocaust: Despite 38 years of Cylon violations of the armistice by not showing at the annual conference, Adama blames ONE single spy mission by the Colonies in response to those violations for the Cylon attack.
      That said, women can be that way.

It would not be unreasonable to think that two guys could hop on a transport that was already scheduled for a trip to the Pegasus. And to do so by cashing in favors of military personnel or blackmail if they made any embarrassing trades on the black market.

    While Bill Duke did a great job in portraying Phelan, this was easily the weakest season 2 script. The fleet is a society without money and essentially only operates as a democracy because every morning Bill Adama wakes up and decides it will. The Battlestars are the only source of weapons, medicine, or renewables like water/food and also the only source of inter-ship transport. The idea that Phelan could bribe, much less intimidate, THE MILITARY is laughable. Organized crime in authoritarian or near-authoritarian societies survives by being on the good side of authority figures. Perhaps Phelan was so used to living in a liberal democracy that he thought he could hide behind due-process, but the decision to threaten Shevon rather than use her influence to cosy up to Lee was insane. This guy was thinking like an American mobster when he needed to think like a Russian one.

    If they had killed lee the fleet would have been exterminated by the galactica and pegasus. Honestly this part of the show was incredibly unrealistic as the military would just stomp out anyone that did anything like this.

    I loved this show but its a shame they didn't develop the black characters. That is the trouble with the TV and movie industry.

    I hate most of the new BSG. This episode was nowhere neaer bad, only average. Stop the hate. No angels, no God, no nonsense.

      Exactly, it was way better than some of the later storylines.
