I was happy with the ending, just upset now because its over. I had lost track of how many episodes were left and didn't even know tonights was the final episode until a few days before it was aired. I thought there was still an episode after it at least.
Oh well, at least I don't have an major questions still, and I am also glad they were able to finish the series and it wasnt canceled in the first season.
I liked it... but it was late and some stuff went right over the old noggin'
Are the Six and Baltar visions Angels? Demons? Are they God? Who doesn't like to be called what?
Also I like the implication that Hera died fairly young. She probably ran off and was eaten by some crazy african animal. Serves her right.
God Roslyn takes longer to die than Yoda.
Was Starbuck basically just a shared vision like the not-real Baltar and Six the last season?
Overall I still liked it... I probably need to see it again.
From what I got reading a "review" on another site, the Baltar and Six were angels that only Baltar and Six saw, but didnt know only they saw them until they came together at the end.
Starbuck died, and she was an angel... but different from the others in that I guess she didn't know she was until the end, and she was given flesh and blood, unlike the other angels. She was sent back by... god... or whoever to guide humanity, and that was it. So they were all Angels, just with different jobs and different levels of awareness about what they were. Starbuck before she died on the last Earth was just a human.
Did they make it seem like Hera died young? I thought they made it seem like she grew up and had children, didn't they call her the Mother of humanity or whatever? Like she would have had to have kids.

They said it was the bones of a young woman. I got the impression that Hera would be covering her ears and running around well into her 20s.

Yeah, for her to have been a common ancestor, she would have had to have mated. Then again, maybe they were all pedophiles.
I feel terrible for asking this because I probably should know...
But who the hell was the guy Adama made Admiral? He looked kind of familiar, but I really don't remember what significant thing he did up to this point.

Got it, seems like the right man for the job, guess they could have had Adama fail and made a spin-off with their wacky adventures with the new Admiral.

I loved their discussions of how "dangerous" blind jumps were.
"But we could end up inside a star!"
Yes, one in every billion billion jumps you would be unlucky enough to land inside a star.
This is me being a stupid science guy who loves to see plausible explanations to things in Sci-Fi shows.
I think that was to illustrate a point.
It's just a stupid cliche point. The concept being that you could jump somewhere and matter would be there.
Of course, that's suggesting that there is areas of interstellar space without matter. Wherever you jump into, something is there that you have to shove out of the way. I guess I've just never heard anyone try to explain what happens to all those hydrogen atoms when a Battlestar appears in the middle of them.
Then again, it's Science Fiction, and I am perfectly able to accept that there is technology in place that pushes the existing matter out of the way or something.
I mean, if you can believe that the Vipers and Raptors can fly the way that they do in an orbital system, then I guess anything is possible.
Oh wait. No. We don't need any science. God did it.
For a while in the late stages of this, there was also way too much drinking.
Besides being skeptical of where all of this good scotch and vodka was coming from, it really felt like when you get together with a roleplay group for any sci-fi based game and they all make gruff ex-special forces characters and the first thing they do is go to the bar and grumble about how this pansy crew is too wet behind the ears while slurping down bourbon. I understand shit be rough, but they seemed to use it as a crutch, and it got to the point where any time you saw Adama in the last season, he was drinking or drunk or falling over covered in paint or breaking shit.
Along a similar line, I remember Gaius playing cards against Starbuck or someone for the last of his specialty expensive cigarettes and then he's smoking one in one of the last episodes.
Apparently there was a lot I didn't like about Battlestar all together.
It occurs to me that I think the series hit a high water mark with 33 and then slowly rose back up to that level through the first two seasons and then just lost it at New Caprica.

i wanted to cry too
but probably for a different reason
I laughed my ass off.
I wept like a little girl.
I laughed my ass off again.
This is the ballsiest ending I've seen.
I LOVE THE FUCK OUT OF IT.

That's about right, yeah.

Gafoto and Sars losing their shit is hilarious. I'M DYING HERE.
But who the hell was the guy Adama made Admiral? He looked kind of familiar, but I really don't remember what significant thing he did up to this point.
He answered a few phones after Gaeta became... indisposed.
"But we could end up inside a star!"
Yes, one in every billion billion jumps you would be unlucky enough to land inside a star.
what is the range on a blind jump? that's my question.
they seem to be able to go pretty much anywhere.
they could end up in the dark space between galaxies.
More things should end like this.
The opera house.
It was the grandest stage.
Seeing her flex and reel after the jump. I kid you not I had my hands in my mouth through that whole scene.

Adama is a bad role model.

It was awesome.
Then the guy went and got his throat cut.
just all
BANG
but we don't need you
Wait we were never friends.
Seems that the writers were just making shit up as they went along.
dang, I need that job
"So say we all" was an ad-lib by Edward James Olmos.
The entire religion ark was sparked by something that Tricia Halfer said in one of the earlier episodes.
Hybrids were brought about by viewer demand for Helo to come back and them needing a reason to do it.
Yea...these guys were just fucking taking whatever they had and running with it.
edit: I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying.
No kidding.
Maybe this is why I stopped really watching halfway through the second season.
also, welding torch in and enclosed space? goodbye oxygen
We should be Science consultants on one of these shows.
