Blood on the Scales
7 February 2009
Starting to watch the 4th episode of BSG‘s final half-season. More Felix Gaeta. More blah blah blah. Where’s Starbuck, the 12th Cylon, the stuff we’ve been waiting for?! In the words of a friend of mine, sent via SMS before I could even watch this episode:
Doood! Is it just me of has BSG been sorta off with the new episodes? I mean, who gives a frak about Gaeta? And a coup killing off the quorum?? I dunno. It’s feeling weird.
I concur.
But the good of this episode: the talented Mark Sheppard is brought back to play Romo Lampkin, the tough lawyer who cares so much about animals. He gets hired on a “field trip for justice” — to defend Admiral Adama on charges of treason. Good actor, good character, good plot point for our times. Nice!
Okay, the episode’s over now. So much death on this episode. Useless killing. Just like our planet here. Damn. But maybe the good guys prevail in the end?
