Galactica - Brig
Boomer: This guy's probably died and been reborn a dozen times. You may have faced him before.
Starbuck: So what, raiders reincarnate? Just like you?
Boomer: Yeah, just like me.
Starbuck: Great. What a frakkin' world.
Boomer: A raider's much like a trained animal, with the basic consciousness and survival instinct. But with the destruction of the resurrection ship, when they die, they're really dead. So, they're not gonna mount mass attacks where they could have major casualties.
Starbuck: Raiders reincarnate?
Boomer: Makes sense, doesn't it? It takes months for you to train a nugget into an effective viper pilot. And then they get killed. And their experience, their knowledge, their skill sets. They're all lost forever. So, if you could bring 'em back and put 'em in a brand new body, wouldn't you do it? 'Cause death then becomes a learning experience. How, uh-- how many pilots have we lost? I mean, have you lost?
Starbuck: You know, there are times when I look at you and I forget what you are. All I see is that kid that pooched her landings day after day. The kid that was frakkin' the chief and thinking she was getting away with it.
Boomer: Yeah, I remember. [Crying] You were like a big sister to--
Boomer reaches out to touch Starbuck on the leg. The marines promptly cock and raise their rifles to stop her.
Boomer: Kara, um-- be careful of Scar, okay? He's filled with rage.
Starbuck: About what?
Boomer: Dying's a painful and traumatic experience. Every time he's reborn, he's filled with more bitter memories. Scar hates you every bit as much as you hate him.

The New York Times Should Have Ignored Sarah Jeong's Twitter Trolls
HuffPost
Travis Waldron
August 2, 2018
The proper way to respond to a bad-faith troll campaign like the one the right-wing internet is waging on Sarah Jeong, the newest member of The New York Times editorial board, is to not respond at all, to not even listen in the first place. This is a hard thing to fathom if you’re The New York Times and your brand identity is tied to an otherworldly patrician rectitude.
But ignore the trolls you must. This includes the gleeful, snickering chuds who strip old tweets of their context and send them back out into the world. And this also includes the establishment figures like Ari Fleischer and publications like the National Review, the folks wailing about an Asian woman’s “anti-white racism,” as if there were such a thing.
The improper way to respond is like this:

Our statement in response to criticism of the hiring of Sarah Jeong.

Statement from The New York Times
We hired Sarah Jeong because of the exceptional work she has done covering the internet and technology at a range of respected publications.
Her journalism and the fact that she is a young Asian woman have made her the subject of frequent online harassment. For a period of time she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers. She sees now that this approach only served to feed the vitriol that we too often see on social media. She regrets it, and The Times does not condone it.
We had candid conversations with Sarah as part of our thorough vetting process, which included a review of her social media history. She understands that this type of rhetoric is not acceptable at The Times and we are confident that she will be an important voice for the editorial board moving forward.
This “controversy” started when the trolls dug up old tweets in which Jeong had openly mocked white people. “It’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men,” she wrote in 2014. “White men are bullshit,” she said in another. There were several more in this vein. All of them were utterly harmless unless you’re the exact sort of constantly aggrieved white dude she was pillorying in the first place, or the exact sort of white dude who believes a few throwaway tweets are equivalent to the actual racism and abuse women and people of color face in this country and on that godforsaken social media platform every day.
The Times’ statement may look like a staunch defense of its new employee. But the paper got rolled, and it got rolled because it’s more committed to conveying the impression of a surpassing reasonableness than it is to any actual ideal.
The Times had nothing to disavow, and Jeong nothing to regret. There was no reason for the paper to apologize on her behalf, no reason for her to issue an apologetic statement of her own, no reason to acknowledge people who were transparently acting in bad faith other than to tell them to go to hell. And yet here they were, cornered into a pious renunciation that legitimized the trolly “outrage” - the Times’ statement, for some reason, admonished Jeong for her role in feeding “the vitriol we too often see on social media” - and will only exacerbate the larger problem at hand.
There are legions of white dudes who believe they are the primary victims of American oppression. And, for some time now, their mobilized networks of trolls have been orchestrating outrage campaigns to harass, intimidate and discredit journalists and their work in the hopes of getting them fired. The Times, at least this time, didn’t go that far. But this will keep happening, there and beyond. Liberal institutions will be undermined by the tools of liberalism itself, all because nobody is a better friend to a right-wing berserker campaign than a terrified executive at a respectable news outlet who still doesn’t understand the modern internet.

Doral: Ahh, okay gentlement, could you maybe stand a bit closer? Fantastic. Commander, could you put your arm around your son? Great, perfect. (The photographers take pictures) Okay, thank you very much. See you at the ceremony. We'll just be leaving this, through this doorway, and, and to our right...
(Adama turns his back on Apollo, walks away. Apollo goes to leave.)
Adama: You want some, ah, coffee?
Apollo: No, sir. Thank you, sir.
Adama: Why don't you sit down? (He doesn't sit down) Congratulations on making Captain. I'm sorry I wasn't there.
Apollo: Thank you, sir.
Adama: How's your mother?
Apollo: Getting married.
Adama: Good for her. We spoke about a year ago, had a real heart-to-heart, it was good.
Apollo: I'm glad to hear that, sir, will that be all?
Adama: Why don't you talk to me, Lee?
Apollo: What do you want to talk about?
Adama: About anything. You've been here for an hour.
Apollo: Well, I don't have anything to say. My orders said, report here and participate in the ceremony, so I'm, I'm here. And I'm gonna participate in the ceremony. There wasn't, wasn't anything in my orders about having any heart-to-heart chats with the old man.
Adama: Accidents happen, in the service.
Apollo: Dad, listen, I-
Adama: You know, all the things you talked to me about the last time we were together-
Apollo: I really don't want to do this.
Adama: -at the funeral, they still ring in my ears after two years.
Apollo: Good! Good. Cause you know what? They were meant to.
Adama: Zack had a choice. You both did.
Apollo: "A man isn't a man until he wears the wings of a Viper pilot." Doesn't that sound at all familiar to you?
Adama: That's not fair, son.
Apollo: No, it's not fair. Because one of us wasn't cut out to wear the uniform.
Adama: He earned his wings, just like we all do.
Apollo: One of us wasn't cut out to be a pilot, one of us wouldn't have even made it into flight school if his old man, his daddy, hadn't have pulled some strings.
Adama: That's an exaggeration. I did nothing for him that I wouldn't have done for anyone else.
Apollo: You're not even listening to me. Why can't you get this through your head? Zack did not belong in that plane. He shouldn't have been there. He was only doing it for you. Face it, you killed him.
Adama: That'll be all, Captain.
(Apollo leaves)

Baltar: So now you're telling me, umm- Now you're telling me that you're a machine?
