This is the live thread for the final episodes of Battlestar Galactica!! SO SAY WE ALL!!

[KevinDavis]

Good Episode..

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

You figured Ellen was the 12th Cylon after she’s been dead for nearly two seasons?

[KevinDavis]

Again, I don’t think it was Earth they found. I mean the Earth we live on.. What if there was a war between the Kobolians and the Cylons and the Kobolians nuked the Cylon world..

[Brett66]

I think that’s what happened.

I looked away at the wrong time and didn't catch the suicide. There goes my spin off idea of BSG-NCIS.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

BSG or SG-1 ?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Lots of stuff to figure out, now that we know how Lee and Kara will be able to get together again.

[KevinDavis]

Both..

If it had been 2000 years the artifacts would have been several feet below the surface. that guitar neck would have been 20 feet down.

Not necessarily. They did a good job in having the artifacts located in a tidal area. Interesting stuff pops up, in reality, quite a bit in that sort of an environment. Old Roman coins and structures, Greek ships. Last Summer a crashed P-38 from WWII surfaced on a beach in England after a bad storm.

When are you going to bed? To much late night thoughts!!

[KevinDavis]

Again I don’t think it was Earth.. Well the Earth that we know ;)

[SunTzuWu]

I agree. Lots of twists for 1 hour...
- Starbuck finding her Viper and her own body.
- D killing herself.
- Earth populated by Cylons.
- Terell, Anders and Tori remembering being alive 2000 years ago.
- Ellen alive 2000 years ago.

You know, if these folks remember dieing 2000 years ago on Earth then copies of them were already out in the Galaxy because the prophesies were written 3600 years ago.

Why the split? Was Kobol the human AND cylon homeworld? That implies those humans and cylons had a war, destroyed the planet, and survivors solved the problem by literally going seperate directions.
Then the 12 human colonies created their own cylons and created the war we saw in BSG.
But what did the cylon centurians do? Create skin jobs that took over, then had the internal cylon civil war we see in last season and destroy Earth? And being more advanced, they merely do it 2000 years before the colonial humans?
So the cycle was repeated on both Kobol AND both sets of colonies?

[discomatic]

Incredible! The storytelling is just incredible! We don’t know where we’re being taken but the way it’s unraveling is fantastic. I thought Cally Tyrol would be the fifth.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Like I said in #33 'Maybe it isn’t the real Earth (bait and switch)!'

[tet68]

This isn’t one that I’ve been following in it’s current iteration, the planet the humans came from wasn’t earth but
colonies? The earth they found was cylon appearently.
Starbuck was the fifth cylon?
I suppose I’ll have to watch next week just to figure it out, although the preview looked too tied up with political
manuverings...

[tanknetter]

What if there was a war between the Kobolians and the Cylons and the Kobolians nuked the Cylon world..

I don't think the chronology fits. I thought Kobol was abandoned a lot more than 2000 years ago (like 4000 years).

[KevinDavis]

That is my thinking too..

[KevinDavis]

Yep... That is what I’m thinking.. Bait and Switch..

[KevinDavis]

I’m curious.. My complaint about the show, no war drums..
