3.18: The Son Also Rises

Baltar seems like he's totally buying into his new persona as a political prisoner writing a manifesto. Ack!

Romo Lampkin, Baltar's lawyer, is nicely twisted: silent in shades, a kleptomaniac who steals things that reveal what makes other people tick. He does a clever job of manipulating Caprica Six, telling her that Baltar sent her his pen, which makes her back off from testifying against him.

Plus the episode contains a cat! The first cat (right?) that we've seen on Galactica.

Yes, I noticed the cat too! The writers have also acknowledged that the Colonials have dogs as well when they were living on New Caprica. As for the episode, well, it was a lackluster compared to Maelstrom, but watching Lampkin interact with Baltar, Apollo, and Caprica Six makes it worth it. Actor Mark Sheppard is great! By the way, he played Badger in Firefly and have you noticed that when he was wearing those shades, he kind of resembled Kevin Spacey in that science fiction movie, KPax?

Hmm . . well when your worlds blowing up you have to bring a snack, hehe .

Seriously though . . It is rather silly to have a pet when resources are limited.
I'm surprised they didn't throw in a bit about outlawing animals (or maybe they did, I haven't seen every episode).

If they wanted to start some real drama they might want to throw in a political cult of sorts that was looking for radical ways of conserving resources. Say like killing people who are too old (or something), but keeping there DNA on file. Yeah, it's not completely original, but it would add a new dynamic to the story that might spice up the show.

They can't afford to lose any more people if they have any skills at all. People don't turn useless just because they're old, if they're reasonably healthy. Although in The Woman, King lots of the people who died (killed by the doctor) were 60+ and from the poorer planets, without skills immediately useful to the fleet.
