There are funny, angry people at message boards, not just assholes. This is awesome!
The weird thing about it is that season 4.0 pretty much was The Fox and the Hound, in a nutshell, except then they made season 4.5 into The Fox and the Hound and the Other, Evil, Very Bad Fox Who Deserves Only To Die. It's bizarre -- the show starts with a very strong "you can't wash your hands of the things you've created" message, and then they spend all of season 4.0 exploring cooperation and understanding, which goes very well with that. But then, when Cavil goes "hey, you can have the kid back, I would like to try cooperation and understanding instead" and Tory goes "um, I did something I probably shouldn't have, I hope you guys will cooperate in being understanding about it", the show's answer is NO BLARGH DIE! IN CHOKING AND GUNSHOTS AND FLAMES! WE WASH OUR HANDS OF YOU!
I just fell out laughing over this. For once, roflmao isn't just an obnoxious internet thing to say!

It makes me really, really sure I DON'T want to be a tv writer, because I bet at some point even the writers realized this shit was stupid, but because of what they'd set up, it had to be done anyway.
