I wonder if that's TV conventions Vs reality. On TV and film a mortal enemy normally only has to do one or two good things to convince the heroes that they are now on the side of Angels. But look at it from the Glactica crews POV: Their entire race has been all but wiped out. They're on the run, living a desperate existence from day to day, trying to avoid an enemy that outmumbers them and wants them all dead. It makes sense that it would take constant and repeated examples to get them to trust Sharon. Hell, it's amazing that they didn't kill her the moment the saw her.<br /><br />Of course, this "realism" does mean we get the same story of Sharon tying to prove herself over and over and over again. But, hell, if it's realism we're worried about, we should probably be focussing on the stealth ship this crew designed and built seemingly on a whim on about a week.LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.com
