Are you sure they don't age? I was under the impression that they would die of old age, thats why Caprica had that whole spiel one epsiode about the end of resurrection giving their lives purpose and direction. I thought the whole Starbucks dad thing was great, it was a character study. All the last few episodes were character studies after the mutiny, just different in my opinion I guess.

I think he's talking about the Centurions.

I meant both. I was under the impression that the skin jobs can be killed, but don't age. Caval said over and over again how they were machines and won't die, and they were the same age in the flashback to 2000 years ago that they are now. If they were going to age, ressurection would start them over as babies, not how they were when they died.

But what about Seven? It's supposed to be Starbuck's dad, but what purpose did it serve? Also, what about the fact that she then would have been a cyclon/human hybrid as well? What is the point in introducing the fact that there was another cylon into the series with only 4 episodes left, only to do NOTHING with it? Yeah you could say it was to explain how she knew the song, but if she's just going to be explained off as an angel then you don't need to explain that, especially not with something like that.

Ron Moore said in an interview that Daniel was simply introduced to explain the numbering mistake of not having a Number Seven. He has absolutely nothing to do with Starbuck. Even Ron Moore was surprised by the fan speculation about Seven being Kara's father.

If he's surprised by that then he shouldn't have written it so that it's painfully evident.

They're not actually resurrected. Their memories/soul/whatever are downloaded into the hub and then reconstituted into a new body.

I understand that, but if they age then what, when they're resurrected they start at the same point, or the point they were when they died? Why have some of the models appear old so they can just keep reliving the last 15 years of their life over and over again? That'd be silly.

The finale of "Battlestar Galactica" has caused me to give up on science fiction from here on out.

No, not because of the show itself. I loved the ending.

It's because the entirety of the Internet fanbase acted like whiny little bitches almost immediately upon the credits rolling. God, I don't want to be associated with this kind of trivial bullshit. The Comic Book Guy stereotypes are 100% right.

Why worry about what other people think? If the programming of Sci-fi is any indication most fans of science fiction don't know their asses from the elbows so don't worry about them.

Agreed on the whining, though I just tend to shut other peoples' opnions out. I loved it. If I end up talking to someone who hated it, I'll just politely tell them that I could give a fuck what it is they were hoping to be spoon-fed in the finale. If you can't wrap your brain around a little mystery or suspension of disbelief perhaps you shouldn't be watching SCIENCE FICTION.
