I had been postulating all season what Kara really “was”, a cylon, daughter of a cylon but her being an angel was just perfect.
Shoot anyone out the airlock who says otherwise.
It was so so amazing when she started typing all along the watch tower into the FTL drive. Just so so so amazing!
(What does FTL stand for?)

I always giggled a little when the Cylons were quoting Hendrix lyrics as I just couldn’t take it seriously but I really like the cylon version much better than the original.
Does anyone know if theres a soundtrack or something with the song on?? I want it on my ipod dammit!

Being English myself I always knew Jamie Bamber is (he used to do BBC radio dramas) but Ive grown so used to his yank accent that hearing him talk in a very “Dick van dyke” esque accent in Law and Order: UK (bet you didnt know that existed lol) has been a shock to me.

Its funny how a final peace between the cylons and humans was blown into little bits all because of the one act of that evil bitch killing callie. If she hadnt had done that things would have been very different.
Who knows, maybe callie’s death was all part of the plan of the “one true God” as if not they never would have found earth.

It was so beautiful Gaius crying when he said he was a farmer. I think he cried because finally he understood his father and that he no longer had to run away from what was percieved to be a lower class up-bringing. Who knows, maybe he will start talking in his proper accent now??

I still cant buy into the “in head” 6 and Gaius being angels.
Angels traditionally dont have sex with people nor lure people to do their bidding by promising sex… But i am a prude…

Either way Im sad its gone and i wish it had given us all the answers but we do have “the plan” and caprica to look forward to and theres even a Manga coming out based on the New Caprica war.

*Salutes* battle star galactica, you are the best. So say we all.

You summed up what I think a lot of fans were feeling as their fave show came to a close. You don’t see TV series like this come along that often.

Thank you for being such a great part of the discussion, Jules. I’ll see you back here for Caprica!

I feel as if I am recovering over a break up.
I am really going to miss this show and how it’s impacted me.

When I sat down to reflect on the final episode and watch it a 2nd time I cried.

What started the flood gates was the scene between Laura and Doc Cottle. I feel like not only did Mary McDonnell deliver a graceful performance. I felt like she was also saying good bye to Doc Cottle for the fans. I know I have always taken a liking to him.

So I well just to a quick rundown on what I am going to miss:
-See the most amazing battles in space EVER!!
-Seeing a show that really challenged me and inspired me to seek out people with other points of views about politics, war, art, cutler, reproductive rights etc.
-Also being able to connect with total strangers week to week for the last for yours over a show. Sorry Star War Fans but BSG Fans are way more AWESOME!
-Seeing that amazing story unfold before my eyes and watching these charters change and grow was amazing. I believe that BSG is really a story of Hope for humanity and a creation story on how humans came to live on our earth. That’s how I am to remember BSG.

Nar, Thank you for letting me be part of this final leg of the BSG Journey for a new Home with you.

So Say We All.

Avigail: “that whole “going native” when they get to earth thing kinda felt a little bit like the worst of modern eco-liberalism”

I agree that the idea that they left their technology behind to start over felt weird. Although I understand the angle Lee was taking, especially in wanting to destroy their weapons, at that point I don’t see every survivor listening to what the leaders have to say anymore.

I imagine Adama or Apollo announcing to the fleet that they aren’t allowed to take any technology with them on Earth and the crowd chanting back “Frak you!”

anyways thanks nar I`m back to my socialising 2day… check you back when Caprica starts….

You review sums up my own feelings about the characters and their respective arcs, as well as the emotional ride they took us in right to the very end. I, too, can point out stuff I would like to have explained more in detail, why I really don’t see why people obsess with some stuff that I think was explained as much as it should (rewatch the episodes since the Daniel reference and you’ll notice Ellen pretty much reveals all there is to know about the character).

The music was, for me, the highlight of Daybreak. Bear outdid himself in every possible way, and I can only hope they release the score in some form soon. Rocked the house, big time.

And last but not least, the atheist in me can perfectly accept all those angelic and preordained religious paths simply because of the series own premise (from the very start) of “All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again”. And mind you: in the history of civilization, there have always been rumours of “angels” walking among us, be it in the form of great thinkers, reformers and visionaries, or as simple people doing extraordinary things for the benefit of mankind. Maybe the after-Maelstrom Kara Thrace is one of such figures: a highly evolved form of human trascendence destined to lead the way (or simply point it out) at a crucial crosssroads. I can live with that. And will do so in DVD form, by the way, over and over again.

Damn, I’m gonna miss this crew!

Great blog, dude…
