What...the...fuck?

The reason Tigh makes little to no sense is that the Colonial freakin' Military would know if he had been in the service during the first Cylon War.

The entire finale was a disjointed mess. The transition from the trial to the jump was ridiculously jarring, and the final couple minutes were just one WTF after another.

Just because it's surprising doesn't mean it's good, goddammit.

Tripple mind fuck, this is. I think I'm going to have to watch it again too. It's...just all fucked up. She's obviously the 5th Cylon but....but I thought she wasn't signed to come back and it was tearful goodbye and....what the FUCK? Did Moore find a way to keep everyone silent about her coming back or is this temporary or....what the hell?

God damn it.
Could all be faked, just like how Old Sharon had her own past as well.
How does his history with Adama work then?
That's more recent. They were both in the merchant marine and finished with the war when they met. They've probably only known each other for say as long as Starbuck has been alive.

I'm going for the "its all bullshit, the Cylons screwed with their heads" theory until we get more info in late 2007-early 2008 :P
"Of course, what would really happen is that in Game 7, with the Red Sox winning 20-0 in the 9th inning, with two outs and two strikes on the last Cubs batter, a previously unseen meteor would strike the earth, instantly and forever wiping out all life on the planet, and forever denying the Red Sox a World Series victory..."

WHAT THE HELL!?

However, Tigh can't be a Cylon. Adama knew him when the Cylons were still toasters. Unless they used him for one of the models and killed the original, but that's too convoluted.

But that ending and the music alone... that earned the episode a 5, though I think that Lee may be just tripping balls and that's not really Kara.

I agree. I am so confused and thrown that I don't even think I can grade it yet. NOTHING makes sense right now. Tigh shouldn't be a human form! Lara's visions (although probably the least objectionable at this point), the fleet's disabling, Star-fucking-buck, the 5 Cylons, star-fucking-buck, and...

Gah!

I'm betting more Starbuck's return is as mind Starbuck (like Mind Six) rather than being real.

That'd be a neat trick, seeing as the Milky Way is only 100,000 light years across.

50 Thousand Light years tops.

I can't wait for HD screencaps of the final five, when they invert color wise. We might just be able to make out some detail.

That crossed my mind. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised. Everyone seems to have a little friend in their head, and it's Lee's turn to have one.

Still, I can't get over...according to the boards here, she wasn't signed up for next season yet, and the ep where she died was supposed to be her last this season. So I want to know how they got it past all those theories, and whether she isn't really gone after all.

"...Said the Joker to the Thief."

Best line ever. Though I can't decide if it was better as a joke or as the actual trippy SLAANESH music.

According to Katee Sackhoff she has a five year contract.

It's like the song says:
Theres too much confusion
I cant get no relief
I think that was the point, to leave us very confused. I give this a 5.
Also, are you guys really that surprised to see Starbuck again?

Well I knew Starbuck dying without any real destiny other than "Suicide RAR!" was retarded, but it just was played real well in the real world is all. It seemed as if she was being written off, and Moore did keep his cards close to his chest. I did expect she might be back, but never this soon, and certainly not before season end as I could swear I heard that she wasn't coming back the rest of this season (another good decoy rumor put out, I guess).
