BSG really didn't go into how awful people can get. The ease of claiming moral and ethical superiority in the face of genocide and the need not to loose more of the population, especially the trained fighters, is a dangerous combination.
You must let me know how well or poorly you think I handle Tarkas. It was not easy creating a villain and I could never get a beta to give me feedback on him as a character. I ended up leaving him as I originally wrote cause nobody said boo.
Glad Gina reads as a Six and that the romance works so far, despite the dodgy circumstances.
I'm glad to here the relationship started to work for someone who would not normally be inherently interested in this pairing (especially given how few would be inherently interested). The two glaring problems that motivated me to re-imagine Olli's story were, first to have Mathias and Gina's relationship to be built so it made sense as a relationship, and second to have it seem reasonable for Bill and Laura to let Gina out of jail. Bill seemed to be someone who would turn a corner with trust and stay there, if I could figure out how to get him to the sweet spot. Laura is the one with the walls no Cylon could breach and as a politician, just plain old wouldn't expect loyalty as a given from anyone. They are great characters to play off each.

That's what I was going for. I dreaded him coming off as just some over the top bad guy.
