Battlestar Galactica - 3.18 The Son Also Rises - Review

docarzt · 03-11-2007, 06:17 PM

Battlestar Galactica ‘The Son also Rises’ reaches into the headlines one more time for the beginning of its three part finale, this time giving us its pastiche of trials for deposed leaders, complete with assassinated attorneys and opinion splitting manifestos. While Baltar remains convinced, along with the rest of us, that a fair trial is not even within the realm of possibility, he finds an interesting ally in Lee Adama, and a shrewd cat-touting attorney named Romo Lampkin.

The episode recalled – as many episodes of Battlestar Galactica do – real life details from a certain middle eastern conflict, in particular the tale of a certain deposed President. Taking place a few weeks following the devastating lose of Kara ‘Starbuck” Thrace, we get a little bit of the emotional aftermath of that, checking in with Sam as he pines for his fallen love with drunken overtures on the flight deck, to Adama who secretly weeps over Starbuck’s personnel file, to Lee who seems to be struggling with his own moving on, but is further ahead than anyone.

Anyone else think that Romo is a Cylon? I thought that right after he said his parents where murdered when he was nine. Didn't Sharons family die when she was nine? Something happened to them...hmmmm
