Beware, mind games and spoilers ahead. (But I'll warn you first.)
After last weeks conclusion to Starbuck's long story arc -- really a three season arc -- it was a little tough to get fully back into the politics surrounding the trial of Baltar.
The show may have milked Starbuck's ups and downs, and downs and downs, too much this season, but it also built relentlessly toward a conclusion that, when it came, seemed inevitable and delivered a big pay-off in its sense of doom and human tragedy. Starbuck has always been on a hell-bent path toward destruction, but there were plenty of folks to push her along the way. Mom included.
Appropriately, "The Son Also Rises" opened with plenty of linguring pain over Kara's death, particularly, of course, among the three men who loved her most.
It seemed, rather satisfyingly, to draw Lee and Sam together, while creating a competition between Apollo and his father. (Did we actually have a scene in which Lee and Adama were arguing over who misses her most?! Boys will be children.) Last update: 15-03-2007
