This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I have to say, I rather enjoyed this ep of BSG, especially all the moments dealing with Kara's loss from Sam, Lee and Adama. They just hurt. (But where was the BFF!Helo angst?!)
And again, Badgers! (but, dude, what's with the sunglasses?)
I'm a little confused, because the final scene where Baltar reads the letter made it seem like Badger (Lambykins?) had orchestrated the whole thing to get Lee to defend Baltar. Or is that me being tired and silly and confused?
Lampkin seems to speak in metaphor, or at least sound like he's quoting Scripture (BSG style, whatever their holy books say) -- I literally coudn't understand him most of the time. I serious think I'll have to watch again with the captioning turned on.
Other than that, I liked the episode.
BSG: Loved the Badgerses, and gods, how I wish we'd seen angrydrunkenhurt Sam -- or anything that remotely hinted at the possibility of angrydrunkenhurt Sam -- before. Because damn, that was a character. Is. Let's hope. Whatev. (As for the Lee/Sam comfortfic possibilities, when my DH sees the slash, it's there. And let me say that I approve wholeheartedly.)
Bill keeps breaking me. (Lee keeps being broken. This is a much less interesting phenomenon.)
I have no idea how this will get wrapped up in the next few eps.
DF: Someone needs to learn about show-don't-tell. Every ep I've seen, I keep thinking that surely they must be showing them out of order and this is really meant to be the first one - and then I remember that they over-explained the same point last week or the week before. And yet, I love it. And whenever Bob's on the screen, I love it hopelessly with little pink hearts drawn over all the "i's".
Two more episodes. . . just two.
How can that be right?
Two and then a 10 month wait.
Bill keeps breaking me. (Lee keeps being broken. This is a much less interesting phenomenon.)
Ha - yes. Adama flipping through Kara's file, with all the disciplinary notices? Ouch.
Lee's relationship with Sam is far more interesting than his relationships with either of the two women in his life.
I'm not sure about Lampkin as a character yet -- he's just such an assortment of quirks, you know? -- but as a means to get both Baltar and Six back into regular rotation, I'll take him.
Damn, that bonus scene is DEFINITELY worth watching.

Yes, this. So very this.

Nice. I hate that I am 2 eps behind. Must catch up.
The bounus scenes for BSG sometimes seem like they would make a better episode than what ends up in the show (I would not have minded watching a Helo episode about how he confesses to stopping the Cylon virus, for example). I get that these are not the primary plot points, but the level of drama and tension great in most of these.
Jamie Bamber's portrayal of Apollo does seem limited when you compare him to EJO's Adama, but if the writers would give him something besides explain his secret "depth"- be broken in every possible situation.
If Kara's "Destiny" was to give us "Dark Apollo, saviour of Gaius Baltar" I think I may be a little snarky.
Doesn't the name "Romo Lampkin" remind you of Rumpelstilskin? Or was that just me?
