Dreadnought

Simply because Helo makes a pseudobiological's spine glow red when doing the dirty and she says she's bearing his child, that makes it ok they annihilated his species and civilization?
...(and)...
Then despite still being pursued and under severe threat, they get a chance to use the virus on them, they still disregard that amidst their petty angst and the odious equivocation of "enhanced interrogation" with the rape and 'real' torture being visited on the Pegasus Six.
Well, I thought that was one of the strengths of the show, that people like Helo really did find a line inside themselves, "if it's wrong when they do it, it's wrong when we do it," and try to live by that. I thought that was worthwhile exploration, it just went sour when it always ended with everyone changing sides again and holding pistols to each other's foreheads some more. This is why ships keep their weapons locked up.
I thought that the opportunity to use the virus was the most powerful plot point, but as I recall it just got drowned out in soap opera and people pulling back the slides of their pistols.
