They were on Galactica. Cavil and his forces boarded Galactica to get Hera, and that’s when Laura went to find Hera. Notice that shortly thereafter, Caprica and Baltar brought Hero to the bridge.
OK, gotcha. Must have missed that. I’ll look for it when I watch it again.
Now watching Batman on American Life TV.
Beats the hell out of Battlestar Baltar.
Saints be praised!
But for Og’s sake, did they have to go so much to the Twilight Zone-y “Hi, my name is Adam.” “Hi, I’m Eve” direction???
Jeezopete.
That’s what you got out of it? Battlestar Baltar? Yeah, definitely stick to Batman.
It was satisfying. I didn’t like the god/angels stuff, but besides that it was really good.
Also, I still don’t get the whole plan to rescue Hera. It was supposed to be a suicide mission, they weren’t expecting to come back. So what good is rescuing Hera if they’re just going to get killed?
So she was an “angel” that everyone was able to see, hear, and interact with, wheras Head-Six and Head-Baltar have been firmly established as only visible to Real-Six and Real-Baltar?
we’re supposed to just accept on “faith” that Kara’s an angel, sorry, not buying it, I need to see hard, scientific TRUTH, you know, the facts, the facts have been established that Head-Characters (Head-Six, Head-Baltar, Head-Elosha) can only be seen by the person hallucinating them
You’re making up facts on your own and demanding that the writers should have followed them? Yeah, good luck with that.
Galactica is the Golgafrincham B-Ark!
Baltar and Caprica Six both saw the same HeadBaltar and HeadSix when they kissed before the battle. So, it would seem that they can be visible to whoever they want to be visible to.
All we can do now, watching The Wrath of Kahn.
I will try to forget…
Glad to see I wasn’t the only one thinking Golgafrincham.
At least my “facts” follow established canon that “Head-entities can only be seen by the person hallucinating them”
my opinion of the Kara Thrace is an “angel” plot point is that it’s lazy writing that breaks established canon
true, but it strikes me as a lazy way of rationalizing the whole “Kara is an angel” thing, and considering it only happened in the final episode…
I’m dropping this nitpick, I’ll write this whole episode off as existing purely in the fever-dreams of Wesley Crusher
So Bill Adama’s “one hour of your life” was a lame HR polygraph test. Not surprising, though I didn’t think senior execs had to go through those.
Did anyone else catch the Star Wars line by Simon - “I think you overestimate their chances.” And Starbuck saying they “stopped for coffee” - I wonder how long they’ve been holding onto that one.
Overall I’m reasonably satisfied, even if the only major character we lost was Roslin.
That is not “established canon”. That is something you made up and are claiming is established canon.
My opinion is that Angel Six said she was an angel from God since the very beginning, in the miniseries. They never told anyone what they could or could not do. But then, you’re just looking for something to have a snit over, so… eh.
Wait… I have a question.
How did Starbuck get to Earth1 in the first place? She went too low in that gas giant, and then… teleports to Earth1? I can buy the bit about the resurrected Starbuck being an angel. I don’t particularly like it, but I can buy it. But if “god” or whatever can teleport her, why not just teleport her there, then back to the fleet without the whole crashed corpse part?
I thought they pulled it off. They managed a satisfying ending that no one saw coming. Well done.
I could have done without the final scene. Other than that, this was above the bell curve for a series finale.
It was a good finale on almost every level.
We got tension-filled action and unexpected twists. We got hell-yeah character moments (Galen going all chokey on Tori) and what-the-hell moments (Cavil eating his gun). We got humor (President Lampkin?) and tragedy (Adama at the grave). We got a measure of resolution for our characters’ journey without resorting to cliches.
I wasn’t thrilled by the ending being so heavy on mysticism. So instead of “a wizard did it,” the explanation for everything in Galactica-verse is “God did it”? Meh. (On the other hand, I do like seeing parallels between Starbuck’s return from the dead and Gandalf’s.)
I could have done without the final scene in New York and the robot footage. A little ham-handed. I also feel a little cheated that the radioactive-earth twist they threw at us, which I thought was brilliant, turned out to be a dodge. But I can live with it.
Bottomline, it didn’t have the emotional punch of the last episode of “The Shield,” but it was still a top-notch ending to what may be the best science fiction show in history.
You summed up my thoughts pretty darn well… thank you.
To the crew of Galactica - twas a fun ride!
