Overall, BSG kind of sits apart from a bunch of TVgasm and it's normal Fantastic Super Terrific Funtime Happy Hour attitude we take with a lot of the programming here. Therefore, I am going to try and lighten things up a bit. And since there's nothing funnier than cancer, I am in luck. The President has cancer, and it looks it is really starting to take its toll. She is so delirious with pain that she begins to hallucinate a little bit. Roslin begins to remember the time on Caprica just before the Cylon attack. She just heard that her cancer was malignant, the teachers union was striking, and there was Gaius Baltar sucking face with a hot blonde.

Now, we all know that hot blonde as model Six (I believe the Caprica model was called Natasi), and although the President continues to see the two lovebirds in her dreams, nothing really comes up. Besides, what are these hallucinations supposed to tell her? She doesn't have much time on earth, and she is going to use it to make one last, very difficult decision. She gathers Adama, Billy, Dr. Baltar and Dr. Cottle, next to her hospital bed on the Galactica, and gives them a little bit of a heads up. They have been doing blood tests on Sharon's fetus, and the results had some anomalies. There was enough concern that she has decided that the Cylon pregnancy was going to have to be terminated.

I am not sure if it is the medication, but the President has changed a lot during the final days of her administration. Maybe she realizes that she wouldn't have to worry about the aftermath, but ordering the death of a Colonial officer and unborn baby, as dangerous as it might be, seems very out of character. If there was anything that Roslin learned from her time on Caprica as Education Secretary, it was that "the best thing about being president is that you don't have to explain yourself to anyone", so despite Baltar's protests that the Cylon baby was of strategic value, the order was going to be executed. OK, bad choice of words, but you get the idea.
