Yeah, Battlestar has been good. Last weeks episode felt a little rushed and off to me though. Many things seem contrived and characters out of place.
Romeo with his imaginary cat, that turned out dead. After he'd pulled a gun and we had some of the most nonsensical lines ever delivered; it left me bewildered. It was like:
Apollo: Help me please. Daddy won't talk to the rightful President, Zarek. We need new (and Adama dictatorship hehe) cos civil laws are not for my daddy to follow. He (we) above that.
Romeo: Ok. I help for a fee - you pay me yes? Last time I got room with view.
Apollo: Let's see, who shall we choose? Because somehow it's now my decision and not the entire quorums??? Erm, names are no good. I cross them out (cos they are not mine)
Romeo: Oh look, Apollo cross names out cos they not his. Apollo the man for president! I agree, so must be correct as I am cool! I go and kill him now with my dead cat as witness.
Hallway Meeting:
Romeo: I kill you now, see dead cat!!!
Apollo: We all lost family. I talk you round with great moral speech now.
Romeo: Yes, dead cat and family same as everyone. We all hurt. You right.
Apollo: Great, we're done then? I'm president! No one else gets say! My daddy rules!
Romeo: AHEM. Payment???
Apollo: Oh yes, your payment - here have a dog. *Skips off happy.....*
Zarek surely wouldn't just step aside after the fight he went through to get into politics and be in the position of VP, just for another Adama that's been a politician for all of a month or so to step in and push him aside because his daddy said so???
That's insane! I hope we see Zarek kick off now and cause a huge problem, or his character is just a waste. Somehow though, I don't think we will.
Then we have an angry Adama fighting with Tigh who he just found out was fraking a cylon prisoner (awful plot line right there) and could be compromised......to being the most trusted person to lead the fleet a few hours later??? Eh?
Just how many Cylon babies are we going to have on the show?
There were some great scenes also though. The fight and Adama's ship getting wrecked was fun and I loved the shot of Galactica jumping in the background as seen through a window. I too am looking forward to Adama's lone quest and finding out what happened on the base star. Roll on next Tuesday!
