query: SGA ep "Irresponsible"

[tielan]

I know that a lot of people hated this ep. It's one of the eps I skipped and never bothered to catch up with (along with a handful of others at that time).

Actually, if you hated it, I'd like to hear from you: the whys and the wherefores of your dislike. I know the general premise and approximately what happens, and I'm not going to be psychotic on spoilers.

I'm interested in people's takes on the episode, but the main thing I want to know is...

I've seen people say that Kolya deserved a better death than he got. My understanding is mostly that somehow he found out Shep and co. were on the planet, tried a takeover, and Shep took Lucius Lavin's "in-vul-ner-a-ble" device and let Kolya have the first shot before he shot Kolya back.

The details might be wrong.

What would people have considered a "satisfactory ending" to the Kolya storyline (assuming that they had to end it)?

HALP?

I thought he shot before Kolya...but I have blocked a lot of it from my memory.

Basically, in a Genii episode, I expect more backstabbing and double dealing and at least a quadruple cross. This just seemed too easy and...sort of a cop out.

Also, I hated Lucius.

Yes, well, Lucius was one of the things that pretty much turned me off the ep.

The Genii really had the potential to become a solid source of conflict early on; a pity they weren't considered "important" enough to set up as 'antagonistic allies'.
