Since Battlestar Galactica deals primarily with the military portion of the fleet, it is sometimes easy to forget that there is an entire civilization floating out there around them. Fifty thousand people have needs, whether it be food, drink, medicine, hookers, and everything else you can imagine. I am sure there are plenty of normal folk in the fleet, but whenever we deal with civilians, they are usually trying to undermine the government or military in some way. And who am I kidding? There are plenty of people within the government and the military that are trying to undermine the government and military.

Earlier this season, we got some insight into a Cylon sympathizers group that was upset that the military and the government were not, well, sympathetic enough to the Cylon cause. We created them, we oppressed them, so let's get to the root causes of why they were after us. It might have been easy to dismiss this group as crazy, but they were focused and determined, and thanks to Gaius Baltar, they now have a nuclear weapon. But like any diverse society, there was a group with the opposite opinion that was just as focused, and just as determined, and we discovered just what they were capable of this week.

The Fleet News Service has been broadcasting a disturbing report. Apparently, Admiral Adama is hiding a Cylon on Galactica, and considering how the Cylons had killed approximately 99.999% of the human population; you could understand why some people would be upset. We know that the Cylon in question, Sharon Valeri, is being held for military purposes, but others do not, and while we are seeing all of this unfold, we see how one woman in particular is gathering as much information as she can on the Cylon problem, and just how far they have infiltrated the Colonial fleet. It's a typical strategy discussion with Roslin, Adama, and Tigh, and out of nowhere, Billy speaks up. Billy has always been on the side, and it's sort of nice that he was able to get the guts to say something. He may not have any sort of power, but at least he was giving himself a voice. Or maybe I simply missed all of these episodes where he was acting as the president's policy advisor.
