Battlestar Galactica:Season Finale {SPOILERS UNLIMITED} 1.4.05

[jhallum]

Thanks jhallum. Guess none of the plot lines get wound up.

I'm recording the rebroadcast ... hopefully the cable hangs in for the last ten minutes.

Well, the baseship is toast. But yeah, no other resolutions.

Really, though, I thought it may have been the best season finale in a very long time. Excepting maybe B5 Season 3, that was pretty wild.

I've been waiting for the rest of you to catch up to me. I saw the entire series 10 weeks ago, thanks to Bittorrent.

The thing that got me was seeing Starbuck and Boomer on Caprica and thinking "Gee, I guess they're gonna know about Boomer when she gets back"...and 1 minute later, they know about Boomer. AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!

Tense, interesting and unpredictable. Nice.

This is smart, plot driven, often deep story telling. The producers are wise in knowing that the FX is to support the plot, not be the plot. When I first saw the pilot I knew this was going to be special. Have you ever noticed how even the music is of high quality perfectly syncronized with the action? Really enhances the mood. Star Trek sure has missed Ronald Moore.

20 min... I don't know how, but I managed not to read the above spoiler.

Love the series. One thing that strikes me is that most shows take a couple of seasons to get a grip on their individual "feel". B5, DS9, SG1, all evolved into something better than what they started as. Battlestar Galactica dosn't have that same feeling for me. It seems like the show already knows who it is meant to be.

The was one hell of an ending.

I'm not really sure what else there is to say...

Yeah...it was worth the wait....LOL

I'm shocked. Wow!

I agree that this is right up there with the finale for season 3 of Babylon 5. My hat is off to Ronald Moore.

I read that Olmos is back as a regular cast member for season 2. Even so, what an ending. This season has been a wild ride. I hope they can keep it as fresh and tense next year as they did this year. With a larger number of shows to fill, that could prove to be a challenge.

 

[Kesh]

I have to admit, the show was moving along in a mundane way for most of the story. The coup was a bit of a surprise, and the Six-Starbuck fight was great. But overall, i was just waiting to learn more...

... and then all hell breaks loose in the last ten minutes. Holy crap! They really pulled out all the stops there. I'm eagerly awaiting the new season, so we can get some more answers and see what happens to everyone.

I suspect the fallout will be considerable. Here are my predictions. Adama will pull through, barely. Obviously Boomer is found out. She's bound for the brig and then execution. Baltar had already tested her and cleared her of being a cylon, so either they'll decide that the cylon detector doesn't work after all, or they'll decide that Baltar cannot be trusted. Actually, I don't think Baltar is leaving the planet with the humans anyway. I think he's going to start down the path of the Baltar from the original series and will become a cylon leader. I predict that Helo will return to the Galactica with Kara. I have no idea whether or not they'll be bringing Boomer 2 with them. Lee will likely be demoted and might end up spending some time in the brig himself. The president will probably be back aboard her ship and back in power within the first episode of season 2.
