1.10- "HAND OF GOD"
Adama: Rumor mill's right, for a change. Captain Adama and Colonel Tigh are working up a plan now and I need some serious out-of-the-box thinking.
Starbuck: Out of the box is where I live.

Adama: We're not gonna win this o­ne by the book. I let Starbuck in here because she's not weighed down by conventional thinking. All due respect, gentlemen, we're not as crazy as she is.

3.7- "A MEASURE OF SALVATION"
Six: It's the nature of the mind to disconnect from the body, enjoining on its own. Separate your mind from your body. Keep your mind in that room. Use your intellect against her. Reason. Logic. Analysis. Find the holes in her psyche.
Gaius: I can't… the pain…
Six: The pain's only in your body. So keep your body here with me. Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
Three: You see, Gaius, this is what the absence of pain feels like. It's easy to forget.
Gaius: I had nothing to do with the virus. It was a coincidence.
Three: There's no such thing as coincidence. God wills the universe according to his design.
Six: Now. Focus on her. As a Cylon, not a woman. Be a scientist. Examine her faith. What's your analysis, doctor?
Gaius: I'm a scientist. And as a scientist, I believe that if God exists our knowledge of him is imperfect. Why? Because the stories and myths we have are the products of men. The passage of time. That religion in practice is based on a theory. Impossible to prove. Yet you bestow it with absolutes like, "There is no such thing as coincidence."
Three: It's called faith.
Gaius: Absolute belief in God's will means there's a reason for everything. Everything! And yet you can't help ask yourself how God can allow death and destruction and then despise yourself for asking. But the truth is, if we knew God's will, we'd all be Gods, wouldn't we? I can see it in your eyes, D'Anna. You're frustrated. You're conflicted. Let me help you. Let me help you change. Find a way to reconcile your faith with fact. Find a way towards a rational universe.
