This Is What I Think.

Somewhere here in my blog is where I try to figure out which episodes of the recent television series "Battlestar Galactica" I watched when first broadcast on television in the United States.
I cannot recall if I narrowed down the precise episode where I resumed watching the television series. The only reference in my notes I can find is on the day of the first part of the two-part season finale of season 3. The episodes are titled "Crossroads" and aired 18 March 2007 and 25 March 2007. So I know I watched those as new broadcasts. I didn't have Comcast XFinity back then so if I watched the episode then that must have been the new rebroadcast or the following week which as best I recall the Syfy Channel rebroadcast the previous weeks episode before the new episode. So that must be what happened. On 18 March 2007 I referenced the previous weeks episode and that must have been the day I started again following the "Battlestar Galactica" television series. I had stopped watching it, although I liked it very much because it was one of my favorites as a kid, on 24 January 2005 and that was the season 1 finale. When season 2 started I no longer had a television.
I was writing fairly recently about how I purchased the DVD collection of that series and then went through and watched all the episodes including all the episodes I had not seen until then. Somewhere is where I determined the day I started watching that DVD collection but I don't recall what I figured out there.

Can I ask you something?
LORNE
Yeah, sure.
[Carter gets up and goes over to get a bag off a shelf.]
CARTER
I found these pictures, and, uh, in them, she was wearing a wedding ring.
[She hands a picture to Lorne. It is of Lorne and the Carter of this alternate universe. They are both smiling, wearing casual clothing and she has longer hair. The alternate-Carter's left hand is clearly visible off Lorne's shoulder.]
LORNE
(laughing in remembrance)
Yeah, that must have been before the divorce.
CARTER
So…
[Carter points between the Carter in the picture and Lorne.]
LORNE
Oh, no-no-no-no. God, no. No, it was this dot com millionaire smartass named McKay.

Tigh, offering something for Adama to sign: Would you please...
Adama: Is that it?
Tigh, sighing: The Fleet's quiet. You could use some time for yourself. I can handle first watch.
Adama: I'll be keeping my schedule. This is just another day.

Adama: She's the President of the Twelve Colonies.
Carolanne: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, of course. Since you've created one godlike facade for yourself, why not invent another one for her?

Carolanne: Don't listen to him, Bill.
Apollo: And she would try and apologize She would promise she would make things better. But then she would just start drinking, and then all of her good intentions would just go out the frakkin'...
Adama: Is it true?
Carolanne: I can't believe you'd even ask me that.
Adama: Damn it, is it true?
Apollo: And then one day, finally the apologies even stopped.
Adama: That's enough.
Carolanne: You walked out on me! You walked on me! The brilliant Commander! Who could lead all of his men into combat, but he couldn't find a way to live with his own family! Never lived anywhere for more than six months. Just following you around from one base to another. Waiting for you to come home. But you weren't here for any of us! Whatever was easiest for the great Adama!
Adama: They needed you. They were our children
Carolanne: They needed a father. All through your glorious career, you have prided yourself on being a leader of men, judging people. Always making the hard call. But when it came to the biggest decision of your life. Oh, Bill, you blew it. We were wrong for each other from ? but you just couldn't accept that. That's it. That's why you keep calling me back. Because if you had made that mistake, it would just call into question all of your other decisions.
(Adama stands on CIC, freaking out; touching her face the old house.)
Adama: She was still your mother, Lee. I loved her.
Apollo: I believe you. I just don't think she ever loved you.

Nixon’s Final Remarks To The White House Staff
Aug 09, 1974
On the morning of his resignation as president, Richard Nixon addressed the White House staff.
Now, however, we look to the future. I had a little quote in the speech last night from T.R. As you know, I kind of like to read books. I am not educated, but I do read books—and the T.R. quote was a pretty good one. Here is another one I found as I was reading, my last night in the White House, and this quote is about a young man. He was a young lawyer in New York. He had married a beautiful girl, and they had a lovely daughter, and then suddenly she died, and this is what he wrote. This was in his diary.
He said, “She was beautiful in face and form and lovelier still in spirit. As a flower she grew and as a fair young flower she died. Her life had been always in the sunshine. There had never come to her a single great sorrow. None ever knew her who did not love and revere her for her bright and sunny temper and her saintly unselfishness. Fair, pure and joyous as a maiden, loving, tender and happy as a young wife. When she had just become a mother, when her life seemed to be just begun and when the years seemed so bright before her, then by a strange and terrible fate death came to her. And when my heart’s dearest died, the light went from my life forever.”
That was T.R. in his twenties. He thought the light had gone from his life forever—but he went on. And he not only became President but, as an ex-President, he served his country, always in the arena, tempestuous, strong, sometimes wrong, sometimes right, but he was a man.
And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember. We think sometimes when things happen that don’t go the right way; we think that when you don’t pass the bar exam the first time—I happened to, but I was just lucky; I mean, my writing was so poor the bar examiner said, “We have just got to let the guy through.” We think that when someone dear to us dies, we think that when we lose an election, we think that when we suffer a defeat that all is ended. We think, as T.R. said, that the light had left his life forever.
Not true. It is only a beginning, always. The young must know it; the old must know it. It must always sustain us, because the greatness comes not when things go always good for you, but the greatness comes and you are really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes, because only if you have been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
