For the handful (4, 11? 20=personal best?) people that have read this since I took over from J-Unit, thanks! I love this show ... 2000 and frackin 8... I could have a baby by the time the new season starts (Note to Self: Take Pill). I'll be sitting patiently, hoping that Joss Whedon puts something out there for me in the meantime. Maybe the new Fox series Drive with Nathan Fillion will fill a little of my Sunday night void?

What do you think? Are these guys the final four cylons or something entirely different? If they're cylons, at least they have good taste in music. Did you like the cliffhanger? Where the frack did Starbuck come from?

Holy S**T. It Tue. already and still the only thing I keep thinking is Holy S**T

Pappy44:

I am missing why D'anna's apology would make sense to the good Col...

and Grace Park...I love you...

NikBot:

Pappy44:
there was speculation in the forums that D'Anna could be apologizing for the eye-gouging he received in cylon prison...even though i think it was the quantum leap-cylon who did it, she could still feel pretty bad about it, since he's a toaster too.

pq:

it is going to take me a while to sort through everything cause, WOW!

i think D'Anna was apologizing to Anders because she almost killed him in the parking garage back on Caprica.

i really want Tigh to be a toaster--i just don't think i can wait 9 months to see what happens next.

sani:

All four are cylons, according to an interview with Ronald Moore.

Sani -
I just saw the interview.
Ah well, another theory bites the dust.
Not the first time I've been wrong.
Still, a tiny part of me is holding out hope...

awesome finale. awesome song! My jaw was dropped for the last ten minutes.

thought: roslin may be experiencing the cylon dreams because Hera's blood was used to save her, so she has cylon/hybrid baby blood in her.

also, if you read the lyrics of All Along The Watchtower, you could say that the colonists are the "Joker" and the cylons are the "thief". the last verse also says "two riders were approaching". ...starbuck and apollo?

I thought Baltar heard the music... no? He seemed to be listening before the random people grabbed him.

Man, Tyrell could have kept his Cylon ex-girlfriend.

And I guess the president was right in season 1... Tigh SHOULD have been tested before his wife. That will bring her a lot of comfort, I'm sure. ;)

WOW what an ep! I have been reading your recaps since you took over, I've just been completely behind on the series. But this was just a GREAT ep. The all along the watctower thing was like, walking the borderline of corny but then as the cliffhanger swelled I totally got sucked into it. Really great ep. And when Laura Roslin had tears streaming down her face while Apollo gave his direct, I was just floored. What a great show.

nothing till 2008!?!??! ahhhhhhhh

Leah3t Author Profile Page:

btw- this was also a fantstic recap. any chance you could cover the 4400 when it comes back on for us nerds?

Sani:

Greybishop -

It's ok, I have several friends holding out hope as well. They refuse to listen to anything I have to say about it. lol

NikBot:

i just really want to know if a resurrected Tigh will have one eye or two... i dig the Tigh eye patch.

Leah3t: i've never seen the 4400, i'll have to check it out!

Ronibuni:

Now this WAS the Best show of the season(wasn't the last show of the Last season the Best?) Now wasn't Lee hearing the music too??

BTW: I have to say that the actress playing Starbuck is not remotely attractive in any way I can see. Trust me I get the whole "strong woman" angle but Sharon and Six are both attractive so why her? Oops, I digress...

Lisa:

ok, Well.. I think if the 4 Watchtower sleepwalkers are Cylons, then Starbuck has got to be the 5th.. and Ronibuni.. I think Starbuck's the hottest thing on the show.. damn, she can have me any day.
Too bad she likes guys. I'm gonna get gray(er) waiting till '08 arrgh is right. =-O

knightmare:

Ithink the final 4 cylons are tehre to try to help the humans, because the scriptures did say this happened before and will happen again. Even in the interview Ron said that they were different. So maybe tehy were placed there to help the humans and the 5th has gotta be starbuck. she blew up..remember. But i think the final five isnt all about the warfare and destruction of humans like thier counterpart cylons. dunno my thoughts anyways....i got goosbumps tho when TIGH's lil speech to the final four about where his loyality and duty lies. I dont care if hes a drunk and mad at the world. After New Caprica he has become one of my favorite characters.

mike9000:

What makes you think the Admiral and the President haven't "done it." I think they did it on New Caprica. Rosalyn admits to getting a little silly that night, they were both hammered, they woke up together, right? They've been real close since then. Touching each other's faces and whatnot, calling each other in the morning. It seems likely Adama was told, probably the first person told, that the President's cancer had returned. I'm just saying, I'd give it better then 50% odds something happened.

Carso:

This means there are 2 cylon babies, hera and aaron.

"Galactica" Last Season Official
By Garth Franklin
Friday May 11th 2007 12:14am

It doesn't come as a surprise, but still it's disappointing to hear that the upcoming fourth season "Battlestar Galactica" will definitely be the last.

Stars Edward James Olmos and Katee Sackhoff told The IESB at the Saturn Awards Thursday night that the SciFi Channel will officially pull the plug on the show following its fourth season, which begins in January.

Olmos says "This will probably be the most extraordinary season of 'Battlestar'. It's the final season, so it's definitely going to be the most vicious. As far as we know, in respects of the way we have this show constructed, this is the final season."

Sackhoff says "I think part of the problem is that it's an expensive show. It is [a great show], but we don't have the viewership that a great show should get."

Okee Dokee,

So, I knew about this whole BSG revival a couple of years ago, and even watched an episode here and there....maybe 2 or 3 in the past few years. With Kids and Job etc...I'm really busy and don't have time to watch TV anymore. Then last week I was sicker then a dog and was plowing through the channels when I stumbled upon Sci-Fi playing the last 3 episodes of series 3. I really had no idea what was going on but being pretty bright I caught on quickly.

Wow, what have I been missing. This is one put together show. I know based on reading this review that the last episodes of this season were some of the best. Let me tell, since watching those last 3 episodes I've been on the net reading everything I can to come up to speed and I've actually got the old TIVO set to record BSG this season. I'm impressed and will be renting season's 1-3 on DVD to try and catch up...time permitting.
