Wanna talk about the BSG finale? Feel free to do it here!<\/p>\n
My thoughts below the fold. Spoilers below<\/font><\/strong>, obviously!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the whole I liked it. <\/p>\n I liked that Caprica Six and Baltar are angels working for a higher force but that they do not know how everything will turn out. They're powerful, but not omniscient. They've done this before, many times, but they know it could turn out differently this time. I liked that they are more than a couple in real life - they really are \"soul mates\". Actually, there are four couples. Swingin!<\/p>\n I liked that they let the centurions go, because it opens things up for a new series later. <\/p>\n I liked the resolution of the \"opera house\" visions. It'd been obvious for a long time that Galactica itself was the opera house, but I did not expect that the opera house scene would play out so directly. I was expecting this to be a bit more allegorical, a bit more puzzle, less perfect prediction, so I was surprised that the twists and turns of the hallways matched, and that the same characters were doing the running, etc.. Not a huge surprise, just a bit of \"well look at that, just like they predicted.\"<\/p>\n I liked the way Roslyn ended her journey.<\/p>\n I like that they didn't really resolve Kara. I guess we can that assume what returned from the nebula wasn't the actual Kara, but was a ghost of sorts. The real Kara did find Earth, but died there. The ghostly Kara returned, and as predicted was the \"harbinger of death\" - but for the cylon skinjobs - and led humanity to its journey's<\/em> end. Reading on-line about this, it turns out that there is precedent for this kind of spirit thing in the original (1970s) series. Maybe would've been nice to get a little hint of that precedent this time around, too, though. <\/p>\n All Along The Watchtower... Still trying to figure out why that was the song. Ideas? I'm not sure how Adama managed to convince 30K people to give up their technology and try to eke it out as farmers. But, they did try it once before on New Caprica, so maybe that's not too much of a stretch. The alternative of being essentially defenseless in space probably helped.<\/p>\n I didn't really like the Hera rescue bit. The battle was cool. But using Galactica as a battering ram seemed like a bit much.<\/p>\n You?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wanna talk about the BSG finale? Feel free to do it here!

\nEdit: oh yeah, duh: the Six and Baltar angels are the Joker and the Thief of the song. They are looking for a way out of the cycle of destruction. The rest of the lyrics just fall into place<\/a>.<\/p>\n
