What an episode of Battlestar. Also I'm giving Richard Hatch major kudos for some fine acting. Looks like the Galactica is about to far apart.. She was on hell of a ship..

I’ll be sad to see BSG go. Even my wife got hooked on it.

So who’s the final Cylon?

I was glad to see Tom Zerek & Felix finally get the ax.

Personally I think that 4 to 5 seasons in a show is good.. Yes I’m sad to see it go.. Ellen Tigh is the final cylon.. Same here with Zarek and Gaeta getting the firing squad..

I found great satisfaction with that firing squad finale! Just seeing someone that usurps power, and upsets the whole way of life, and beliefs get their comeuppance from the business end of a power blaster just plain old felt good!

Oh Crap! Now the SS will probably knock on my door!

Really fellas! I was talking about a TV show!

LOL!

Final Cylon is Tigh’s wife.

They gave it away on this week’s ad for the next episode.

Zarek wanted power.. He just used people to get it.. When he knew the council was not going to agree with him, he basically had them killed and I think that started the end of the coup.

I think BSG and Lost are very good this season. It’s like they know they have an end and they are wrapping things up well.

I think Heroes has been disappointing, and just feels like it doesn’t really have a game plan. It just does not compete in the same league as BSG & Lost.

I’m looking forward to seeing Dollhouse. I hope it’s good. I’m getting bored with Terminator also, but I can’t wait for the movie!

Actually they revealed it during the first episode of this year's season. Some people just didn't want to believe it. RDM said she was it though in an interview after "Sometimes a great notion" aired.

The acting was excellent but I’m disappointed that they missed their opportunity to get rid of Adama and Rosalyn and that they had to write their way out of the mess by making all of the people who joined the mutiny wimps who drop their guns at the mere sight of Adama. The VP had guys willing to murder the entire Quorum and he didn’t put any of his people on execution detail for the people who really mattered?

I’m looking forward to seeing Dollhouse.

Dollhouse looks pretty creepy and like it's going to be another Joss Whedon "little waifs who kick butt" series. I'd like to see the pony do another trick.

Revolutions are nasty business.

If you are not up for what it takes, don’t start one.

Zarek was up for it; Gaeta wasn’t. Gaeta quickly found himself in over his head.

That is correct... Gaeta was wishy washy...

Gaeta was up for it, but he wanted to be the idealist Adama.
Zarek wanted to be dictator.

When the jump drive failed, Gaeta stood down because he knew that it was over. Zarek would've gone scorched Earth and taken most of the human race out with him. Gaeta wouldn't.

On a side note, the wholesale slaughter of characters just because we're getting close to the end, is getting a little monotonous. (But, of course, they had to get rid of any romantic entanglements that Apollo had so that he can finally hook up with Starbuck, whatever she really is.)

To me the best seasons of sci-fi are usually the last season..

So I have BBCA on to catch a rerun of the final two episodes of Doctor Who when what do I hear?

Comedian Eddie Izzard doing a bit about the Death Star Canteen. I might've walked out of the room and missed it, but I actually just heard that bit for the first time yesterday, thanks to StumbleUpon:

Here's the link to a Lego video, synchronized to Izzard's Canteen bit: http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=ccvddwd2wd
