I didn’t like Ellen’s death at all (though I’m glad the character’s out of the way). Felt really dodgy and creepy. Which isn’t a problem in itself, but I got the idea that it wasn’t supposed to seem wrong. However it’s quite possible that it was, so no more judging from me yet.

They’d already dealt with traitors (the human police) by killing them. Killing Ellen is in a similar vein, just as morally dubious. I liked Saul’s stunned remoteness during the scene. He seemed to me to be indecisive about killing her, and was relieved and dismayed when she drank the poison herself.
Even Tyrol wanted kill Gaius’s assistant.

Tyrol didn’t want to kill collaborators in cold blood but he did say something to the effect of them being shot later. The next episode is called “Collaborators” so I imagine this’ll be explored.
The justification for killing the human police was that they were in a war against them. Ellen was a captured prisoner. Even in war you’re not supposed to just go around killing them, especially when you’re married to them. It’s a whole extra level of dubiousness.

I’m anti-mo. Just trying to be funny.

In some weird way they could have used her to their own advantage, but that would have been too cool and bold. Killing her is more dramatic. And one less annoying character is good.
Gaius should go as well. I keep hoping he may yet have a bigger part in it all, but the thought that he is just left overs from a bigger part is more appealing.

I believe, at the time they found out she was a traitor, there was about an hour until the Galactica arrived. I don’t think there was much opportunity to use the crazy lines of communication.
Gaius is my favourite character! If he goes, I go. Well, not really. They’re giving him interesting stuff to do — if you still want him gone after episode six I’ll be surprised.

Don’t tell me you’re pro-mo.
