baltar:

i finished season 3 last night, and the season finale was absolutely amazing. it had a lot of awesome moments, this one being one of them. it might even be my favorite moment. i loved lee with all my heart since i first started watching, but this very moment made me love him even more.

“did the defendant make mistakes? sure, he did. serious mistakes. but did he actually commit any crimes? did he commit treason? no. i mean, it was an impossible situation. when the cylons arrives, what could he possibly do? what could anyone have done? ask yourself, what would you have done? what would you have done? if he had refused to surrender, the cylons would’ve probably nuked the planet right then and there. so did he appear to cooperate with the cylons? sure. so did hundreds of others. what’s the difference between him and them? the president issued a blanket pardon. they were all forgiven, no questions asked. colonel tigh… colonel tigh used suicide bombers, killed dozens of people. forgiven. lieutenant agathon and chief tyrol, they murdered an officer on the pegasus. forgiven. the admiral. the admiral instituted a military coup d’état against the president. forgiven. and me? well… where do i begin? i shot down a civilian passenger ship - the olympic carrier. over a thousand people on board. forgiven. i raised my weapon to a superior officer, committed an act of mutiny. forgiven. and then, on the very day when baltar surrendered to those cylons, i, as commander of pegasus, jumped away. i left everyone on that planet alone, undefended, for months! i even tried to persuade the admiral never to return, to abandon you all there for good. if i’d had my way, nobody would’ve made it off that planet. i’m the coward. i’m the traitor. i’m forgiven. i’d say we’re very forgiving of mistakes. we make our own laws now, our own justice, and we’ve been pretty creative at finding ways to let people off the hook for everything - from theft to murder. and we’ve had to be. because… because we are not a civilisation anymore. we are a gang. and we’re on the run. and we have to fight to survive. we have to break rules, we have to bend laws, we have to improvise. but not this time, no. not this time. not for gaius baltar. no. you… you have to die. you have to die because… well, we don’t like you very much. because you’re arrogant. because you’re weak. because you’re a coward. we wanna throw you out the airlock because you didn’t stand up to the cylons and get yourself killed in the process. that’s justice now! you should’ve been killed back on new caprica. but since you had the temerity to live, we’re gonna execute you now. that’s justice! this case… this case is built on emotion, on anger, bitterness, vengeance. but most of all it is built on shame. it’s about the shame of what we did to ourselves back on that planet. and it’s about the guilt of those of us who ran away. who ran away. and we are trying to dump all that guilt and all that shame onto one man. and then flush him out the airlock and hope that that just gets rid of it all, so that we can live with ourselves. that won’t work. that won’t work. that’s not justice. not to me. not to me.”

She was still your mother, Lee. I loved her.

I believe you. I just don’t think she ever loved you.

"I know why I was mad at you, Kara. ‘Cause you were doing what you always did: buck authority and get away with it. I bucked authority once…and I almost lost everything. So I guess when I showed up on Pegasus and there you were, doing it all over again…I don’t know—pissed me off."

- We’re not friends, you’re the CAG. “Be careful out there”? Our job isn’t to be careful, it’s to shoot Cylons out of the frakking sky. “Good hunting” is what you say. And now one of your idiot pilots is acting like a child and refusing to take her pills. So she either says “Yes, sir” and obeys a direct order, or you smack her in the mouth and you drag her sorry ass down to sickbay and you make her take those pills. 

- Well, I’m glad I’m not working for you. 

- You’re damn right you’re glad.

LAURA: I will of course remain by title as president, but… LEE: Madam President, you can do a lot more than that. LAURA: No, I can’t, Lee. It’s time I let someone else do the heavy lifting.
