Have you heard Ron Moore's podcast or read Ilanabean's summary?
Yeah, I did not long after I posted here, and was like, "ah, well then."
I think my problem stemmed more from the fact that, to me, JB played it as if Lee found that to be a statement of faith in him.
Understandable. I didn't think he played it correctly, myself (I think Lee definitely would have seen it to be the failed attempt it was, though he may have appreciated the fact that Adama tried), so my judgment of it was based more so on the nature of the dialogue and how EJO played it.
I just think the transition could have been handled better.
Well, I can't say I disagree with that, as much as I want to like him for some reason. I like, in many respects, where his character is being taken, but they definitely haven't been doing it as well as they could have. They seem to be jumping back and forth with him, using him as comic relief one week and as serious study the next. I mean, I don't have a problem with his eccentricities being played up for humor every now and then, but I'd rather he be one consistent character than two rolled up into one, and right now he seems more like the latter.
