Why this must be read: In a show dealing with dark themes (the loss of the colonies, the deaths of billions, the constant fear of attack), it's not surprising that some of the characters begin to succumb to despair and hopelessness. We see here, through the eyes of Lee Adama, just how the loss, not of things, but of beliefs and possibilities, can destroy a soul. This is powerful, disturbing and human. There's a wonderful sense of the relationships between characters and how those are strained by the events of season two in the series. The story is perfectly anchored in the apt words of John Keats' "An Ode to Melancholy" that provide the title (Lethe is the river of forgetfulness in Greek mythology).
