BSG Finale

[Bando]

Did anyone see the season finale of Battlestar Galactica? Holy freaking crap?

I know. Gaaaaaaaah!

My wife had it on while I was working on some stuff - definitely not surprised at the ending.

While I'm still completely addicted to this show, it is coming dangerously close to "Lost" levels in terms of Editeding me off rather than entertaining me.

(not talking about any of the political plotlines, just keeping everyone hanging and hanging and hanging until you start to doubt whether the writers really have any kind of plan)

But last night was pretty damn good.

Starbuck is a Cylon.

What happens first, the next season of BSG or Halo 3 comes out?

[Bando]

Is she a Cylon? It seems pretty obvious that Tigh, Anders, Tori, and Tyrol are part of the final five, but I don't know about Starbuck.

Isn't there supposed to be some sort of 2 hour tv movie between the end of season 3 and the beginning of season 4?

[Bando]

Ok, I just checked and there will indeed be a 2 hour movie later in 2007. However, it will take place on Pegasus and (obviously) in the past, but will have bearing on the story at the present.

So after thinking about it a bit, here's some speculation:

- obviously, Starbuck, Tyrol, Anders, Tori, and Tigh are the Final Five. This does not mean, however, that they're in league with the Cylons we've known so far. In fact, it's very likely they're in conflict with those Cylons, as we know the final five were "boxed" and that their knowledge of being Cylons doesn't turn them against humanity. So possibly these five didn't share the genocidal revenge intent the rest did.

- thus, the Cylon fleet approaching them now is not hostile, but made up of the final five models. Perhaps the humans and these Cylons band together against the bad Cylons to find/defend Earth.

- "All Along the Watchtower" is one of the most covered songs in rock. Perhaps the song is another beacon, one that amplifies radio waves from Earth?

- I don't know how the Cylon evolution works now, as the Cylons apparently created humanoid models before the first war (Tigh).

Personally, I think they made up for the suckiness that occurred after they left New Caprica with the finale. Although like you, Boz, I fear the Lost wilderness as well.

This season sucked except for the first 2 episodes and the last one.
