BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
2X09 - FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX
Original Airdate (SciFi): 16-SEP-05
Adama: Mr. Gaeta, this is more than a glitch.
Tigh: Commander's right. I don't care if you have to go through this program line by line; fix it.
Gaeta: Excuse me?
Tigh: You heard me.
Gaeta: Sir, I'm running every diagnostic we've got. Checking each line of code could take days.
Tigh: I am not interested in excuses. Fix it!
Gaeta: It's not an excuse, sir. It's a frakking fact! [Sighs]
Adama: Mr. Gaeta.
Gaeta: Yes, sir.
Adama: Pull yourself together.
Gaeta: I'm sorry, sir.
Tigh: What the hell is his problem?
Adama: Months on the run, and what do we have to show for it? Casualties. Deteriorating conditions. This crew needs a rest. It's finally hitting them, that's all. Our old lives are gone. The only thing we have to look forward to is this.
Galactica - Hangar
Apollo: Hey, chief, where's 289? I need her for drills today.
Tyrol: Ship's grounded, sir.
Apollo: What? For how long?
Tyrol: Permanently. We're salvaging what we can, but it's gone.
Apollo: Damn it, I need that ship online.
Tyrol: What can I tell you, captain? Engine mounts are shot. Cockpits seals are cracked. If it was a horse, I'd shoot it.
Seelix: Got something, chief.
Apollo: Chief Come on, Work with me here. I need your help.
Tyrol: What do want me to do, work my crew to death?
Apollo: No, just do your best. Nobody's expecting any miracles.
Tyrol: Maybe that's the problem.

M.C.
Washington and Demme grant Marco with a helplessness that seemed to be lacking in Sinatra's portrayal; his broken man Marco is a far cry from Sinatra's in the fact that while Sinatra all too easily asserts himself from the experiments conducted on him, Washington makes us know that such things always haunt the person -- seeing his home in disarray, obsessed with what happened to him while on duty, looking like a man who is about to lose it at any moment. It clearly becomes his story as he is its soul, and ultimately, Shaw's liberator.
Watching this movie last year gave me another clue about the nature of my problem. There was a scene in the movie that I made a direct connection to. It was when the scientist-guy was telling Denzel’s character that maybe all this was the dream and he was still in the war. I had written about that very thing earlier in my journal. I had written about the recurring dreams I used to have where I would wake up back on the ship and we were still in the Gulf. I had dreamt all this life, it was still 1988, but I had dreamed ahead a few years. It was an unsettling dream. So anyway, that told me, combined with everything else going on, that this movie had something to do with me, such as the writers were tracking me somehow, for some reason. There was something else about it. I got the sense there were three factions out there that knew who I was. Until I saw this movie, I was only thinking of two, both at Microsoft. I also wondered about the coincidence of M.C. for both the title of the movie and for Microsoft Corporation. So anyway, I started thinking in terms of three factions. One faction was my supporters at Microsoft. The second faction was my detractors at Microsoft (why I had detractors, I didn’t understand.). And the new third faction I was seeing was a group of people that supported me but did not support Microsoft. I don’t know who they were, but I sensed their presence after watching this movie and I felt some kind of connection to Denzel’s character. It was especially relevant to me because I was feeling really disturbed about those strange, seemingly “suggested” dreams I was having. The dreams weren’t telling me to do anything wrong, but just imagine something like that is happening to you. It doesn’t matter if they are telling you to do something wrong, all that matters is that the people responsible are arrogant enough to think they have a right to screw with your mind like that. The other connection I felt was that part with him sitting in the library with the headphones on researching news articles while a camera looks down on him. That was me and they were watching me.
