One of my favourite Zarek lines later on is, "You tried to steal the election, didn't you? I wish you went through with it."

I was unaware that YouTube took an election in Battlestar Galactica so seriously

For all the debates on what should or should not have been done, what amazes me more than anything else?
That this fleet, launched into deep space without preparations of any kind, managed to put together paper ballots.

I love the dialogue between Adama and Roslin where she admitted trying to fix the election. Just superb acting by both. She was so torn because she knew (they both knew) Gaius’ presidency would be a disaster, but they just couldn’t go through with the corruption. They just had no idea how bad Gaius would be

If Baltar haven’t became president of the colonies, new Caprica would have never been settle and the Pegasus still intact.

6:00 "he's working for cylons.." - A similar phrase will play with completely different colors at the end of the series.) I feel sorry for Lieut. Gaeta and Dualla more than the others, I almost cried.

what happens when 2 quality actors get to together..........pure acting!

I'm looking for that clip where Tom Zarek, right before both of them were set to be executed, asks Roslin if she tried to steal the election. I think it would be a fitting coda to this clip.

There is no President of the Twelve Colonies. The Colonies are gone!

I liked these moments of deep disappointment the two shared, it showed their relationship wasn't always amazing and that neither were perfect people. Other examples include Adama learning about Hera still being alive and Roslyn having to talk Bill down from rushing into the fight at the start of the series.
