From his lack of remorse, I'd say it's a safe bet to presume he was a sociopath.

At least that's my take.

Today.
Obviously, Colonial mental health screening left a few thing to be desired, Zaz.

Very interesting, Croft. Are/were you a film student? Have you worked on any films?

Sad. There are some actually good stuff there. Some of us have even been doing what we call the VS, or Virtual Season, where we do stories that take the show beyond The Hand Of God, into where we would have liked to have seen it go. I've done several for it, myself.

Okay, I was wondering. Got pretty quiet there for quite a while.

I belong to Colonial Fleets, By Your Command and BG Club forums and they're all pretty dead. Days sometimes weeks go by without any posts.

I found this photo for sale on etsy. I am assuming it is from one of the unaired scenes of Saga, but what is this from and what are they looking at?

It may not be an unfilmed scene. Could be the commotion when the Cylons enter the party ("Do as he says, he's in charge!")

I loved the way Uri flipped, when the Cylons entered. Total politician.

My sentiments exactly about the photo. Boomer has his blaster in his hand by his side. Looks to be right when the Cylons enter the room, that's the only time they would be terrorized at the party...
