I am rediculously excited for this tommorrow. Although i am partially sad because pretty soon there will never be new episodes again... discuss!

The thing I've been looking forward to very eagerly. BSG is the best thing TV can offer these days.

I wish I could go into a medically induced coma until then. I cannot wait. Every second that I'm awake and Battlestar isn't on is physically painful to me.

I'm excited, but it's been so long since we've had a new episode (And since the DVD's came out a week AFTER Christmas, fucking retards at Sci-Fi) that I had completely forgotten there was one more cylon we don't know still until I saw a commercial yesterday.

I watched the webseries yesterday in an attempt to make the time pass faster till the new episodes. Now I'm even more anxious for them to start because I want to see what Gaeta is up to. Sad

I watched some big recap show on Sci Fi the other night since I don't watch Battlestar often, and I feel like I've been missing some really good television. They explained the whole cylon confusion between everybody, and that one girl who they presumed dead came back, and they presumed HER to possibly be a cylon. I guess my question is, seeing the recap, would I understand most of what's to come in the final episodes?

Evidently its been confirmed that we will find out the identity of the final cylon tonight!

I hope it's not Starbuck or Baltar. That would be a lame reveal at this point in the game.

Then again, it can't be one of them. D'Anna said only four of the five were among the Colonial Fleet. So the final one must be on Earth.

I cant get into this series. I wanted so badly for the series to be like the Richard Hatch proposed series "The Second Coming", but instead we something that if you miss an episode, your fucked.

That being said, I may or may not pick up the first season of this on DVD to get it. I'll solidify my opinion then.

So, has anyone seen the episode yet? Was it any good?

Posted: Jan 17 2009 07:34 am

Watched it last night at 10PM EST, its first run in the states. It was awesome.

Posted: Jan 17 2009 11:53 am

Agreed. I haven't seen so much stuff happen in one episode of anything since I watched Jeckel.

Posted: Jan 17 2009 03:14 pm

I've seen it too now and I agree, it was BRILLIANT.

The following contains spoilers if you haven't seen last night's episode. Select text to read.

In hindsight it seems so obvious that Ellen Tigh was going to be the Final Cylon. It explains her mysterious reappearance after the initial Cylon attack, when everybody thought she was dead, as well as the visions Col. Tigh had when visiting Number Six in her cell. I'm glad they decided to reveal the identity of the Final Cylon now. It could have become really frustrating had they made us wait until the last episode. Instead we can now all speculate how the frak Starbuck can still be alive when she isn't a Cylon.

The following reply to Tyop's spoilers also contains spoilers. Highlight to read.

I always thought Ellen was a Cylon, but in a different way. I thought that she was an aged Six, which would have explained why Saul began his relationship with Caprica Six. Speaking of Caprica Six, I really want to see her and Baltar get back together.

Yours would have been a pretty cool resolution too, though I'm not sure how they could have explained the aging. I don't remember it being discussed in the show, but it seems that Cylons don't normally age. Unless you mean that she could have been genetically altered to look older from the beginning. That would raise the question why Cylons of the same model all look identical in the first place.

Someone tell me how to do spoilers, and I'll tell you something I learned about the 70's show that may explain some events from the previous episode

If your text is going to be on a purple background, use the color command and #9966ff to hide it. If it's going to be on a black background, use the color #000000 to hide it.

Alright, here's what I learned at work about the '70s show:

I guess there were mystical forces at work at some point, and people suddenly became irrationally angry and stuff, like Dualla killing herself, because of magic powers and stuff. There was actually a character who was in essence (or possibly in actuality) the devil, which could easily be Zarack. I feel like it'd be weird if they do this, but it could work if they do it well.

There's what, eight episodes left now?

I don't think I like the way this is headed.

How come? Too bleak?

Posted: Jan 26 2009 07:02 pm

Yeah.

I want the series to end with hope and change... and a possibility for a sequel series.

Posted: Jan 27 2009 08:53 am

For now, there wont be a sequel series, but they are working on a prequel, Caprica.

As for me, I like no matter how bleak or, on the other hand, cheerful it is. When it's great, it's fine with me.

Posted: Jan 27 2009 10:17 am

I'm pretty sure the ending is going to be bleak. I can't imagine a good outcome to all of this.
