That was damned abrupt.
There is the moral of all human tales;
Tis but the same rehearsal of the past,
First Freedom, and then Glory — when that fails,
Wealth, vice, corruption, — barbarism at last.
-Lord Byron, from 'Childe Harold's Pilgrimage'

Holy Fraking Hell tell me that did not just happen!
"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..."

They were jacks. And yeah, looks like the fleet is going to frak itself over, I mean, pilots fighting in the halls, and nobody stopping it?

So it appears that instead of being a Cylon, Starbuck instead can miraculously come back from the dead. Or its a huge hoax, which isn't all that unlikely.
And wouldn't Tigh recognize Kara in that case Fisher?

Enough with the spoiler tags people. Someone watching the show late is knows better then to read a thread about it if they don't want spoilers.

ITT there is a full page-worth of people just saying 'Holy shit' and 'What the frak' and 'Woah curveball' since those are all meaningful and well-thought-out contributions.
And I am now certain that BSG will not explain everything that has happened throughout the series, which is irritating. Other than that:
Well-done BSLJ scenes
Fantastic Cinematography and Design for this episode. Above-par even for BSG
'Why did she do it?' '...*laughs* I don't frakking know.'
And a decent pick for the Final Cylon. It's no Gaeta, though.
And is Lee, like, still the Acting President? How the fuck does that work?

Good riddance, Dee, you fucking cunt.

-Kara's wreaked Viper and charred body is presumably found on Earth. She burns the remains, and wonders who the fuck she is.LMSx wrote:Can someone kindly summarize the episode?
-Dee shoots herself in the head and dies after one last perfect date with Lee.
-Ellen is the 5th Cylon. I'm rather proud of that one, as I had no idea other than what hints we had throughout the series.
-Adama wanted Tigh to kill him, and tried to goad him into it, but it didn't work.
-Roslin has a crisis of faith and burns the book of Pithea.
-Small (at least on screen) unrest happens on board Galactica. People fighting, graffiti, etc.
-We're all Cylons. Earth was a pure Cylon colony.
Dem the highlights as far as I can remember them.
