3x17  The Son Also Rises

Dumb title, y’all.

Don’t you hate it when they pit Lee against Adama? I can understand why they would want to do so, for its possibly compelling drama and character growth, but the situation was pretty unnatural. Out of all the people we know on Galactica, Helo would have been my first pick to be a part of Baltar’s defence team. Helo, as annoying as he sometimes can get, has taken over Lee since Season 2 to be the moral centre of the show– it would make much more sense for him to back Baltar’s ‘fair’ trial more so than anyone else. Especially with Baltar’s New and Improved! Image of the people’s people and everything. But not Lee. Not that he’s not a straight up guy or anything, but wasn’t it a bit too convenient to get Lee against his dad?  So Shakespearean, which is fine, but it’s too darn forced.

Yay! I like cats, so I’m glad they are one of the few animals living amongst this tiny population. I have no idea why they chose to put a cat in though – just so they could see the bomb? I mean, it could have been debris or leakage or anything for the Chief and others to check the ship’s bottom. So why a cat? Funny how the first cat on Lost also appeared.

If I’ve been talking about cats for this long, it must mean this episode wasn’t very good. Hm.
