Odd Couples

"Gives me the creeps, seein' her actin' like that with him." -Apollo
"He loves her. And yeah, he knows she's a machine. He doesn't care he loves her anyway." -Starbuck
"Frack. How can one of us get that roped in by one of them? We should keep an eye on him, too." -Apollo

Ah...very tricky here. Two similar pairs of Cylon-human lovers. (We know Apollo loves Starbuck, and she was quite vocal about her feelings halfway through season one.) The us-them talk comes back into play here. Adama the Cylon is saying, "How can one of us machines get roped in by a human?" It's that whole love thing coming back--what sets "Sharon" apart. Adama the deceived human is pleading, "Why Helo? How did that happen to him?" I just love these loaded double-meanings.
