*************** SPOILER ALERT ***************
I swear they're going to have to have written these last episodes in a pace they've not done so far... fast as hell.
Last cylon, what happened to Earth, the situation between Adama and Tigh. The whole myth side of the story seems to be buried.
But with that said... holy hell I can't wait.
I heard they said the ending is amazing and won't disappoint. I hope that's true.
I thought what happened to Earth was the final episode.
Naw, they got an extension, about halfway through the third season.
I am so ****ing confused. Why sh... I had a crush on her! :(
Kinda ho-hum episode. But they can get away with that since new battlestar is awesome by itself. I really wish they'd have shown up at earth at our modern time though. Makes more sense with the prophecy that they didn't though. I like how they make it plausible that even we are decedents of robots.
Three episodes deep... and I'm ****ing confused. Earth was left behind and they had memories - the Cylons did. The humans are doing what the Cylons are doing... turning on each other.
And it's all set to implode, it seems.
I started out thinking this episode was just filler since they had a season to fill on an otherwise complete story but it got awesome fast.
The humans have no choice but to ally at least temporarily with the cylons in order to get better jump drives. Earth is toast and they don't have enough resources to just roam the galaxy looking for a new home world on their current jump technology. So while I agree with that motive, there's no fk'ing way I'd be down with making nice with the reason I had to spend the last four years in a tin can. I loved how it placed me squarely on the fence yet at the same time portrayed a very likely turn of events.
The cylons originally turned on each other because of where a lack of autonomy had led them. The humans are turning on each other in defense of their own autonomy.
Maybe later in the season they'll justify the alignment with the fact that all Capricans are decedents of cylons anyway.
I'm STILL confused.
While this episode explained alot I don't understand why all the back history is so important. I could understand if it were a few generations but this episode explains that the whole cycle has been repeated continuously.
I fully understood the power grab from the episode Jaquan is writing about.
Think about the V.P who wanted to overthrow. It's classic Saddam Hussien.
He was a V.P. for a long time and everyone thought his chance at the presidency was already gone. He positioned the bathist party into power positions even though they didn't represent the majority. When he saw a moment of weakness he took it. For him being in power meant more then the state of the nation.
The skin jobs are searching for purpose and identity. They don't see themselves as cylons and no one sees them as humans. They are begining to see many flaws in thier programs including false memories. They still aren't trusted as humans among humans. They were seen as God's or superior beings by Cylons but that is begining to fade. They are uncomfortable living on a cusp of identites. Bathazar is trying to manipulate skin jobs back into the cylon way.
I'm betting the baby dies. and it's 50/50 on which party will actually kill it.
Cylons could be resentful that skin jobs can procreate, and just because the coup failed doesn't meant that there arent those in the fleet who don't want skin jobs procreating.
Look for the president to pass away or at least step down in the next two episodes.
Re new quarum by ships.
I don't think they are going to want the quarum to meet on Galactica.
I also think it will give cylons a voice at the barganing table.
I'm betting that the baby is Daniel reborn.
I finally got a chance to watch it last night. I had guests in town all weekend.
Daniel's dna got mutated. It'd be a stretch for it to realign itself in a new born.
They did lay on the history pretty thick. I think its great that they revealed so much but it did confuse me a tad.
Which baby are you talking about? Helio's and Sharrons? or Sol's and #7's?
Casting the PC guy was a bad move. His face is too well known, I kept waiting for him to use a punch line.
Saul's and #6 baby - the part where Daniel talked about how they re-invented resurrection, it sounded like they did it via being reborn, not having clones laying around.
ok I have to rewatch it now. I thought re-inventing meant re-creating the clone bath since that planet was already using procreation.
Dammit Hulu broadcast the recap before they broadcast the episode what's wrong with those people.
Finally Hulu broadcasts Deadlock
Now I'm confused. The writers certainly know how to throw curve balls.
The skin jobs need to fight amongst themselves and change destiny so that the final five aren't the percieved final five.
I really like how this last ep. ended. Before that I was growing quite angry with another introspective art piece.
So Cavil has Hera, BSG the ship is dying, the president had a connection with Hera (somehow) and the piano man is Starbucks father... and she's more than likely a cylon hybrid.
Am I even close? I seriously am really ****ing lost.
that's pretty much it. I'm not so sure what Starbuck is yet though.
This is all typical "final season wrap up when we didn't expect to get one" stuff.
Galactica Actual has to die. The cylons need to wrap up their plight and the capricans need to ultimately deal with the inevitability of all things.
Didn't the president get a cylon blood transfusion a while back. Maybe thats the connection with Hera. Damn confusing that part was.

The goop they are applying to it will make it all better. Or they make thier last jump and have to land it on a planet whereby the ship is destroyed but not too much that the people survive. All crash land on a planet they decide to name earth2
Transfusion from a cylon should have cured the president. I expect two last episodes.
One where they finally settle somewhere and lay down arms and the other where everything in the last season is explained. Of course they could actually do 4 episodes explaining everything.
No need to explain anything further... Starbuck has to die in a Viper, there needs to be a survivor on both sides (human and Cylon), the story of the "one true god" - which, come to think about it, what if it were Galactica now - is all part of a cyclic story and it'll begin again.
I think they're going to make one final jump and find Endor. Then the freaking Ewoks will kill them all.
Coming in 2010 "Caprica" the precurser to Battlestar Galactica.
I fear it will be like "Enterprise" Everything you already know spelled out.
Were they smoking a spliff on tonight's episode!?
I just watched it, possibly.
Odd they have one opened tube of toothpaste left in the universe but plenty of cigarettes.
Also,,,,Totally awesome episode.
My guess Boomer and Hera find a habital planet, Cavil finally gets his.
Gallactica requires forced evacuation on last episode.
Writers sure know how to throw twists into everthing.
I'm kinda of hoping every cylon and caprican die in one huge double K.O.
They fly Gallactica into the cylon hub at the same time they remotely blow up the base star killing everyone.
They certainly were smoking spliff this episode.
I've never hated Boomer more. I've given up understanding Hera's visions.
How many shows left?
Seems like you're a week behind, Frets. So for you, two more. Last Friday (13th) was the lead-in into the 2 hour finale that will happen on March 20th.
I won't spoil this week's then.
That's what I get for watching it on hulu.
I'm not dissatisfied with this season, but I will say I have a feeling they opened up too many plot lines in season 4. I'll wait until after the finale to cast judgment, but there was a core of strong arch's that could have easily carried it through to the end. Cara, Saul, Adama Sr., Baltar and "the search" are all I really care about.
I can sorta say that I saw the ending coming, but damn the first half was epic.
Starbuck is a pigeon. Of course! It all makes sense now!
I got what I wanted. I'm happy.
Oh great and I have to wait a week.
Go ahead reveal spoilers I'll prolly forget by the time it airs.
Finally I see the Finale
The chief's payback was the best part.
So what the heck was Starbuck? An angel?
I thought that closed poorly, I guess they couldn't patch all the holes.
It would have been better if she somehow backtracked thru a time continuum thing.
Starbuck hops into a fighter, gets caught in a time loop goes back to nuke'd earth where she dies.
More like humanities will to succeed/survive. And just as flighty as a damn pigeon, I could see that.Quote:

The fact that Cavil offed himself, I thought that was rather damn indicative of his character - master of his own destiny. That Galen choked the living **** out of Tory, that closed that chapter for me perfectly.
The ending, the tie-in into our own evolutionary jump, the fact that Gaius was supposedly an angel too (ok, I had a problem with that... but since he always wore black, I could see him being the selfish side of humanity, thus Lucifer) all sorta saw it coming. But it does bother me one way... all of their stuff, it would have been found by now. There's like at least two or three ships they had. Their buildings.
And you're gonna tell me that they got busy with some primitive folks!? Ew.
