This is the live thread for the final episodes of Battlestar Galactica!! SO SAY WE ALL!!
I loved Starbuck's line, something along the lines of "I don't have a problem hitting a cripple."
I think that Katie has been reading Ann Coulter books while finding Starbuck's character!

At the very end of last week's episode, I thought that Tighe stayed on earth and "died." I was surprised to see him back on Galactica tonight.

Which brings up the question as to who really nuked Earth and why were there cylons there. Unless it was a trap set by the 13th colony take out all the cylons but why nuke the cyclons and not just use the death virus software to take them out. Which brings up another unless. Unless the humans knew before hand that the cylons would nuke Caprica and then try to find Earth.
Which would in someway would explain why the humans had a religion with prophesies of Earth. But that then brings up the question of the number of models of cylons because the 5 concealed models had parents which means that sometime before tonight's episode there was cylon on cylon action that produced children or the 5 concealed models were given preprogrammed false memories of growing up. Plus at some point humans and or cylons had to come back to Caprica from Earth to leave the ancient clues. And if the clyons had been around that long had not their dream of becoming like the humans been realized?
Which brings up another question is if cyclon models were already coexisting with humans on Caprica why nuke it in the first place? Isn't the whole cylon thing is that they wanted to be human to begin with?
Then there is whole new Starbuck and new ship thing which means there is some sort of advanced replication technology out there which means there is an alien race involved or that the 13th colony became so advanced that they mastered time travel as well and was trying to avoid the nuking of Caprica in the first place or they were trying to warn the Caprica humans as to what was to come and give them somewhere to go. Now it sounds like humans made their own version of the Terminator Skynet AI to help out the human race and it got corrupted and they ended up with psychotic suicidal cylons. Just have to wait and see how they play it out and just somethings to think about. LOL Have a good one Kevin. I have been up too long tonight. 8-)
Anybody who isn't confused at this point hasn't been paying attention. As has been said, they have a lot of 'splaining to do. Here's hoping that they do so!
Plus since the cylons were crazy enough to nuked Caprica in the first place what is there to stop them from killing all the humans again when they find a new place. The current cylon models didn't have problem with it the first time so what is to keep them from doing it agian with or without resurrection ships? They don't need the humans now that they can reproduce so if this information gets to the other cylons out there then why keep the humans around at all?
Sorry about that. Meant to add it the first but my thinking got way ahead of my typing.
Wow... How lucky would it be to be one of those 3: Anders, Tighe, or Terrel....
"The future of the Cylon 'race' is in your... hands? You must be fruitful and multiply... Like a bee, you must polinate all these Deanas, Boomers, and Sixes!"
WooHoo! Where to I sign up to be a new model Cylon!!!!!!!!!

"Kinda confused?" Join the club, pal! ;-)
Last week they did explain that analysis of the "human" remains revealed that they weren't human. That they were Cylon. And it seems that the "Final Five" were actually survivors of the 13th colony. But how they continually resurrected over the two thousand or so years is a mystery. And there are other serious flaws with this reasoning as well.

Thanks KD
I’ve been lurkin’ and readin’ and watchin’
LOL TPD
I think Moore just slammed Obama.. He had Zarek exposed as a politician who likes pay for play!!!
The thing I can't get over is how all of the final 5 found themselves in the right places to survive the Cylon attack on the 12 colonies. Was their survival all just a bunch of happy coincidences?
I am very, very disappointed with how they have gone about this season. They split it in two and decide to then go on some complex thread that doesn't really follow the back story. And, trying to do all of this in 10 episodes? Would have been better just to have had the show end when they got to a nuked Earth or them making a decision to move on and keep going as if that was to be their fate, nomads.
You have:
President and her health
Adama getting weaker, trying to hold the fleet together
Cylon as XO who's going to become a Daddy
Son who is in politics now, could be President but not ready
VP starting a revolution
Discord in the fleet over Cylons being there
Still have other Cylons out there in the universe with enough guns and ammo to erase the rebels and remaining humans
Starbuck and whatever it is that she has become.
Baltar and his cult
What comes next for the survivors
Just what the hell happened to Earth
Cylons on Earth? WTF??? They were machines that had evolved over time but created by humans
Humanity had decided to play God and create a life form that ultimately turned on its masters and waged war then a complete annihilation on them. Humanity needed to prove that it deserved to live and part of that meant surviving against all odds. They debated points along the way that made sense and good Sci-fi should still give you pause to think.
I have to try and see this through but count me in the column of voters who think they have jumped the shark.
Callie was beaten up by Tyrol a couple of times. She was messed up and needed help.
If she hadn’t of been on all those medications for depression (and who wouldn’t be in her case) she was going to expose the four of the five cylons including Tyrol.
Did you see the webisodes with Gaeta? Explains a lot about his character. The human race was destroyed by the cylons. Plus he trusted Sharon on New Caprica and she took advantage of him by colluding with Baltar and killing more humans when Sharon had Gaeta thinking they were saving human lives instead of murdering them.
Who wouldn’t be having some hard feelings.
That was 3 Deanna who stayed on so called “earth” and died with her ancesters.
The 13th colony on so called earth were all cylons. Aren’t you all watching the show?
“They split it in two....”
They didn’t do anything. It was the writer’s strike that caused it.
I was talking about where Tighe walked out into the water... I thought that was the shows way of saying he was staying on earth to "be with" Ellen.
