constanceI just watched the season finale of Battlestar Galactica, and I know I should've watched it weeks ago, but it took me a while to get those last episodes downloaded. But now I've watched it, and I really really want to talk about it. I mean! Gosh!
I don't even know where to start, honestly -- I just feel all keyed up and agog and even though I sort of guessed some of the twists, in the way that I guess twists, one of about six possibles floating around in my head and one turns out to be right and I'm not convinced it's really going to happen until it does, that doesn't mean I didn't watch it all going down with my mouth hanging open.
Wait, I do know where to start. It occurred to me that things might be headed for cylonhood for the music-hearers as soon as I realized not everyone was hearing the music, and then all I really needed to do was make note of who was hearing it and who wasn't to guess who those cylons might be. And then when they started quoting lyrics and I realized what song they were hearing, I just started laughing, because.
Okay, you know, none of the Cylons ever really talk about their God in any way but the most nebulous and general way, as far as I can recall, but when they started quoting lyrics, I suddenly started laughing because more than just about anything in the world, what I wanted right then was for the Cylons' monotheism to be centered around Bob Dylan. I wanted "All Along the Watchtower" to be some kind of ancient sacred hymn.
So what did you think of the season finale? Please share, I'm begging you!

And! my Cylon cup totally runneth over, even though I will have to have it explained to me, in excruciating detail, exactly how Tigh could be a Cylon. The only way I can see it is that he was the very first skinjob. And that still doesn't explain how he could've been involved in the first war.
KERI I NEED YOU BACK ON THE CASE. Stop watching Dr. Who at once!
