None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.

I 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!

Saw this on friendsfriends, and thought I'd share, since you ARE begging, and I just watched the entire series to date for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

The finale was really quite intense, wasn't it? I'd accidentally spoiled myself for almost everything (damn that Wikipedia!), and knew from other sources that Starbuck wasn't dead, and it still sucked me in and held me in its thrall.

I wonder when the new Cylons are going to share that information, and how the humans are going to escape their current predicament.

damnit, should reupload fat!lee icon :-w

i just rewatched the last three eps of season three a few weeks ago, but i've just sat through six episodes of season two doctor who -- AND BAWLED LIKE A BABY -- so i don't really remember much? other than lee being inexplicably likeable again. :( HARD FOR ME, C.


i posted about the season three finale, though, after i had watched it, with some thoughts about our new cylons. shall i link, or repost them here? i mean, it's wretched, as my opinions often are. also, STILL WATCHING WHO CANNOT STOP SEND HELP et cet. :(

BOB DYLAN IS THE FIFTH

I was blown away by the last ep too! I swear to you, my palms were sweating and I was shaking and I was sitting bolt upright on the sofa mouthing "OMG, OMG, OMG!!!" like a maniac. Colonel Tigh was the biggest shock, but Tyrol was a surprise too. Anders and Roslin's aide, meh, not so bothered. I always thought Billy was a Cylon so I was mentally prepared for his replacement to be one too. But Tigh - how screwed up is he going to be now? Loved how he went *straight* into denial. Loved it.

Kara - what a fab way for her to come back after all the angst and emo-handwringing just before she "died". I wasn't spoiled for her reappearance but I totally expected it. I don't know if she's the final cylon or not but it would make sense. Either that or she's made some Very Significant Discovery on that mysterious gas planet she disappeared into.

And can I just say that I love Baltar SO MUCH! I feel disloyal to Kara for saying this because she's my favourite character nearly all of the time, but whenever Baltar's on screen I'm not watching anyone else, you know what I'm saying...?
