Big kudos for a TV show that few dare to touch. This is as brutal as it gets. I laughed at the comments which said "There is a better way" or "They should have a choice". Read the history please. There were many sieges that residents of town or the city ended up resorting to cannibalism to survive. It's horrible, but at the time it was the only choice they had. It's very interesting to see a show dare to show such this hidden dark side of humanity. However, do you think Octavia really had a choice at that time? She did ask Kane for a different solution, but Kane couldn't. Do you think you have an alternative solution for their desperate situation? Be real. There was none, which makes the show more realistic than most other "fancy" sci-fi shows.

On another matter, Kane and Diyoza just pretended to defect to the McCreary camp. The whole attacking plan, which  Bellamy laid out to Octavia, was obviously drew up by Diyoza. She wouldn't sabotage her own plan. So it's very likely that she and Kane were acting as trojan horse. They will give the prisoner camp a big surprise, when the time comes. Also Kane himself went through the dark year. He understood Octavia's reasons of canibalism. So even he thinks Octavias is the "devil", but she is the "devil" he knows. On the other hand, McCreary is very unpredictive. He's dying so he got nothing to loose. Plus the ship has all kinds of modern weapon, which can level the whole village. So this "monster" is much more dangerous than the "devil". That's why Kane will not really help McCreary.
