LOL  Pretty cool.. Lot of Frakin' going on in the Rag-Tag fleet!  And it looks like everyone but Bill, Roslyn, and Adar has either fraked Baltar, or fraked someone who's fraked him. 


So; Anders Fraked Seelix?!?  Which episode was that?

Thanks; I just checked it out.   :thumbsup

So; I guess it's not certain whether or not they hooked up.

OK, what an episode the finale was.

[spoiler]I really didn't know what you expect, other than I was excited about how they were going to end things up.

Stand out moments---Adama saying goodbye to the Galactica.  Very moving and awesome.
Roslyn saying thank you to the grumpy Dr.  -- almost made me cry.
The raid on the base ship--  Old style Cylons mixed with the new, AWESOME.
The space battle was INCREDIBLE!
Cavill (sp?) blowing his head off.
The Galactica after coming out of her last jump.   I was getting choked up over a fictitious space ship.
Starbuck entering the coordinates from her musical notes
The fleet heading toward the sun with the old style Battlestar Music- I just love that soundtrack anyway.
The picture of the moon, the Earth and Africa starring at us.  Nice.
The death of Roslyn was very touching and Edward is one of the best actors ever.  I loved it.  I was moved.
Ron Moore reading the magazine 150,000 years in the future.
Adama over looking the African landscape... nice.  Very nice.  I did kind of expect the witch doctor from lion king to walk past.  Just a little. :)

Could have gone without---
Pole dancing on Caprica  (huh?)
Starbuck and Apollo on a table?
The first old style cylon looked like a cartoon.  (they got better)
screaming cylons in liquid and all their other buds screaming.  Geez.

Ok after all those little comments.  I liked the show.  I expected more of a twist, and was a little confused by parts of it with six and baltar.  What happened to Kira?  Hmmmmmm.  I don't know. 

I enjoyed it for the entertainment value and need to think about the spiritual aspects of it.  Baltars comment at the end kind of got me wondering. 
"He doesn't like being called that?"  OK.  Hmmm.

All in all, pretty cool finale if you ask me.

Just finished watching

[spoiler]Really liked the Raid on the Colony. The Cylon against Cylon action was great, loved seeing the Old School Cylons in there as well, and seeing their newer counterparts run past them in the halls. Could have done with some more Viper / Raider screen time. Would have been nice to see Starbuck and Apollo go out one last time.
I sort of guessed that the Opera Scene was going to end up as it was, with Baltar and Six saving Hera instead of taking her away, and it just being a Cylon projection.
Really loved the scene where they flew the fleet into the sun, nice homage to the Original series, with the music playing in the background. Perfect way to take out the galactica. Felt bad for the old ship when it came out of its last jump, I thought it was going to break apart there. Great scene by the visual effects people.
Would have liked if they would have explained Starbuck a bit more, felt that was not really ever addressed. Her disappearing well talking to Lee was nicely done, but it would have been nice to have gotten something about her at some point in the show.[/spoiler]

[Darth Gaos]

WOW!!!

Loved it, Loved it, Loved it!!!

Totally satisfied with the way the series ended.  I will save more for when others post.

Rick....I am right there with you regarding Baltar's comment about God at the end.  I am hoping that someone could expound on that a it more.

[billybob476]

With regard to Starbuck...


[spoiler]I understood that she was an "angel sent from God" just like head six and ahead Baltar. Though everyone could see her. [/spoiler]


Anyways I thought it was an AMAZING finale. I really did enjoy it.

[Rico]

Just really loved the finale.  Thought it was well paced and they had left enough time at the end for the goodbyes.  Some of my thoughts and details

[spoiler]I thought Starbuck was explained fine.  She was an angel sent by God (like head Six and head Baltar).  Except, she was able to actually do things and help.
I loved how they got Hera back and that Athena took out Boomer.  If anyone ever took one of my kids - well no mercy.
Loved the scene with Coddle and Roslyn - very touching.
Adama and Roslyn - well what can I say.  I'm tearing up again right now.   :'(
That they finally found our EARTH - I yelled when I saw them come out over the moon and saw our little planet.

This show was so unique in that it's a sci-fi show that really embraced the ideas of God and religion.  Cool stuff!
So, I guess this means everyone on Earth has a little Cylon in them now - hehe!  [/spoiler]

[sheldor]

Like I said in the shout - WOW.

[spoiler]
When they jumped into the hornets nest WOW.   
When the Chief got payback for Callie WOW. 
When Baltar shot the dead cylon WOW
When Boomer got some sense and gave Hera back WOW.
When Hilo survived WOW.
When they jumped to earth WOW.
When they took the fleet into the sun WOW.
[/spoiler]

Why can't all shows be written like this ?

[X]

I was happy, but I did notice some important things at the end:

[spoiler] With Hera being Mitochondria Eve and all humans in our time being descendant of her, Kara was the Harbinger of Death. None of those 36,000 people went on to have families of their own. Humanity died and was reborn through Hera on Earth.

I loved Bill giving Ros his ring at the end. It was a powerful symbol.

I love that we don't know what's going on with everything in the heavens. While the Cylons and Baltar had the one Cylon god. Rosalyn never turned her back on the gods of Kobol and was still a part of the visions and the prophecy that their holy book held.

I loved the line of God not liking to be called god. It makes sense and picks up on what was said earlier. God isn't good or evil. It's a force of nature and we just sorta put our baggage on god, but what we do is really on us. It didn't make us do it. Just like it gave it's chosen few the tools to do something better, but it never made them do anything except figure out who they were.

Another thing that I loved it how everything tied into our world. BSG is a story right? Or is it a memory from our Cylon DNA that we subconsciously recalled? Our world looks like their world because it's in our genes and history to build in that fashion. So did Glen Larsen create BSG or simply tell a story that was hidden deep in the memory of our genes?  [/spoiler]

I guess the big question is...

[spoiler]
Are WE going to perpetuate the cycle? Or will we be different?

Magic 8-ball says Yes

[Rico]

No - I think their message was we broke the cycle.  They even said that a few times.  Things aren't the same.  Cylons and humans have created a new world together now - blending with each other.  I consider that a different ending - and a positive one.

As long as Asimo doesn't rise up and kill us! :)
