Jennifer: This show has been known to actually keep storylines across episodes. Remember how Starbuck’s knee was busted for many episodes? And when Cally got thrown in the brig, she didn’t quietly reappear a few episodes later, but had a very short welcome back party. If I remember correctly, Roslin mourned for Billy in subsequent episodes (even if Dee didn’t).

I’m surprised they showed as much mourning as they did, and I doubt they’ll show any more after this episode. The O.C. had four whopping episodes mourning Marissa, and that was wildly different from most shows.

I don’t know if I can ever forgive them for Starbuck’s demise. (((sobs)))

I hope it’s as fake as Captain America’s will turn out to be. ;)

Just wanted to say, you have annoyed me. All of you. The new show I’m now addicted to is BSG.

I hadn’t watched BSG until they were running too many reruns on regular TV shows and I was looking for something I hadn’t seen. I found myself in Best Buy looking for something that would be engrossing to watch. I remembered you all talking about it and liking it. I bought season one and now I like it and find you all annoying for it. lol

Just wanted to share that with you.

Baltar’s ‘native’ accent was north of England (probably Yorkshire/Derbyshire, although hard to tell), whereas Lampkin’s sounded more Ulster (i.e. Northern Ireland). In reality they’re quite different, but Baltar only went northern for a few minutes, and you’d need a reasonable familiarity with English regional accents to pick it up.

Good episode, I thought. Although I’m certainly still in mourning for Starbuck.

but he wasn’t lying when he deliberately took off his glasses with Caprica 6…she asked if Baltar had asked about her, he took off his glasses, set them down, looked her in the eye and he actually told her exactly what he said, then he put his glasses back on and started lying…but if its a ‘tell’, its an obvious one, and either the writer really wanted to slap us with it, or BadgerLampkin will use it to his advantage later.

What do other people think about the sunglasses thing? It seemed to me that when Lampkin most wanted to lie, that’s when he would take off the sunglasses and look a person right in the eyes. Makes the last scene with him and Lee all the more interesting since he purposefully peered over his glasses at Lee while saying his exit lines.
