Battlestar Galactica Finale Thread

So what questions got answers?

So Hera is mother of us all? :smiley: OK, it got alot better in the last few minutes. Pretty obvious cameo for Ron.
So, will all this happen again? :wink:

Well, that was dissapointing, what an anticlimactic ending to a once-great show
the Kara thread was left unresolved

time to get those DVDs melting down there, 'Plant

Nah, the Kara thread was not left unresolved. She was the same thing as the angels which Gaius and Caprica had been seeing. She just didn’t realize it until she was gone.

LOVED the finale. :slight_smile:

Pssst… over here

Jesus Christ on a fucking crutch that sucked.

All I wanted was to see the villain, Baltar who sold out the human race and made the Cylon victory possible, to die a horrible, lingering death.
But he came out on top. 150,000 years later.

Fuck Ron Moore.

Okay, I really liked that little last scene in NYC…everything else, not so much.

You see, Capricans were the predecessor of today’s Poles. They were just exploring, and attempted a landing on the sun.

It was the equivalent of Cortez burning his ships.

Exactly.

The same thing happened in TOS after the 12 Tribes arrived on the Colonies; they destroyed their ships and all their technology.

I don’t think there’s any way the finale could’ve lived up to the expectations so many people pinned on it. Like the Star Wars series, it started with a bang, got even better, and then went downhill, mostly by comparison though.

I’m satisfied. Could it have been better? Sure.

But what we got was good enough.

Spectacular ending.

No, that was not THE Baltar. That was the “angel” Baltar. And yes, Kara was also one of these angels or emissaries of the gods.

But can someone explain to me how Laura got on the Cylon ship where all the shooting was taking place? It looked like she was working in Galactica’s sickbay, then she started wandering off and ended up finding Hera on the Cylon baseship. Huh?

Good enough?

It was outstanding. I pity those who didn’t enjoy it.

The series wasn’t about technology. It was about people, and the voyage they were on. And it wrapped that up quite nicely.

It’s not a John Wayne movie. You don’t have to have the Good Guys Win/Bad Guys Die ending for it not to suck. Baltar, like Judas, was playing the role he had to play in a plan that was bigger than him. The plan, like God (I know, It doesn’t like that name), is beyond good and evil, so maybe Baltar is too. Even if he’s not, well, things don’t always end pat, with all scores settled. Sometimes they just end.

Uhm, no. She found Hera on Galactica. After Helo was hit and Athena was putting a tourniquet on his leg, Hera ran off, scared.

She was on Galactica the whole time; the Cylons boarded her.

YOU MANIACS!!! DAMN YOU!! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!
Allright, maybe it was just a little hit or miss.

I don’t mind a bit of mysticism, but did it have to be so overt? Disappearing Kara Thrace. WTF.

Getting rid of the ships and starting over more or less made sense. How much longer was that crap going to last anyway?
Chief going ape shit on Tori. Classic.

I found Tigh’s “I’d do the same thing” comment a little ironic.

He didn’t do it on purpose.:rolleyes:

And it was nice to see Baltar end up not on the side of douchery for once. And he got to get back in touch with his farmer roots.

That was still Galactica they were wandering through, currently being invaded by Cylons. It was being intercut with their Dream of the Opera House, so sort of confusing – but in the dream, she’s wearing different clothes (and her own hair, of course).
I think that we’re going to find that the like/loathe divide over the finale will match up to whether someone thought they’d been watching a sci-fi soap opera or a sci-fi action adventure, all these years. 'Cause this was all about the characters receiving a satsifying conclusion, and not so much about a satisfying conclusion to the action.
