Was the Cavil that killed himself the only one of his model? ---

Yes, Cavil shot himself. And if there were any other Cavils around, they fell into the singularity with the rest of the Colony. Along with the Dorals and Simons. Yeesh, 30+ minutes to go on this! ---

I’m worried that the Centurians have planned their return ~50,000 years to the day of the ending of the BSG finale. You know, for continuity. Sleep tight tonight! ---

I like _my_ ending better (Galactica and the Cavilcade exchanging fire, fade to black, leave the series unresolved), this whole “Fake/Alternate Nuked Earth” angle is a cheap cop-out there’s still a half hour to go, lets hope it’s not this lame-o ending ---

At least Ron didn’t resort to time travel via the blackhole. BSG was in our distant past all along. They’re what 20,000-30,000 years ago, right? ---

Good to hear a few bars of the TOS Galactica theme as the Bucket sails into the sun(set) So, **Carnivorusplant** , you got those melted-down DVD’s ready yet?.. ---

I never saw the end of Star Trek: Generations. I never saw the end of “The Brave Cowboy”. I might turn off the TV right now… ---

I was hoping they’d lay out a city plan, build it, and have the Cavil-cade come wipe it out…going down in history as “Atlantis”. Still have enjoyed this episode though, I’ve realized it’s impossible to make a million nerds happy (me included) so I’m trying to be more accepting. This ending is acceptable to me 🙂 ---
