DISQUS

Richard · 1 year ago

I liked most of the Lampkin stuff, personally. I think Mark Sheppard is a hell of an actor, so I thoroughly enjoyed his insanity and final climb out of it at the end. What I didn't like were the inane conclusion that Lee was the best candidate for the position - I actually thought for a moment they'd go with the Old Man since Tigh is taking over the fleet - and the whole scene with the gun. That showdown was a lot of hubbub with false jeopardy. At no point did I think he'd shoot Lee. Maybe if they'd intimated that he might shoot himself that scene would have worked, I don't know.

The pregnancy was, unfortunately, totally ruined for me from last week's preview. I have finally learned to shut my eyes during the opening montage: as soon as I hear that first drum beat I clamp my lids tight. I haven't learned to skip the previews. Cottle's line in the preview last week made it pretty obvious Tigh was a Cylon baby-daddy.

This week's preview...well, I watched it like a sucker. So here's *my* spoiler warning

I have been saying the Final Cylon would be Gaeta forever. Well, clearly it's not. But it's *not* going to be Roslin. It's going to be someone else on that Basestar. Someone to whom Deanna has a big reason to apologize...

Captain Karl Agathon.

That's my new guess. I'm sticking with it for at least one week!

Well, good guess of course, he's the only other one on there of value :)

As far as Lampkin...I enjoyed him in the Baltar Trial, but for some reason the story here just felt out of place...the whole gun thing seemed like a plot contrivance just to give meaning to Lee becoming president.

Lampkin was good as always though.
