bsg – season 4, episode 20

well, here goes. the next one is the 2 hour finale. i'm not sure if they are breaking it up over 2 weeks, but still. this is almost the end of battlestar. hour 20 of 22... anything could happen, and probably will.

most likely major spoilers. this is the end of the show, after all.

– i love the idea that cylons have this connection with music. music as magic/technology is a pretty good plot thread.

– jumping to ftl next to bsg was awesome. now the show starts.

– i want a model of a basestar for my desk top.

– cylons and humans fighting each other in the maintenance crew. all humans do is fight cylons. just tell us that they are all cylons already.

– it's interesting that Lost is all about Destiny being right and right now BSG is all about destiny being wrong.

– tonight, on battlestar, the galactica dies. the president dies. caprica six dies. all the crew working on repairing the ship die. anders probably dies. this is grim. they haven't even begun to hint at lee or bill adama dying. when's that big cliff hanger happen?

– uh, that girl was outside of an airlock and still breathing and screaming? shouldn't they have all died the minute the hull breached? this isn't an airplane, where they are surrounded by O2. This is space...

– who's this new not-tyrol?

– why do they even care about defense any more? when was the last time that the galactica had to send out any vipers for defense? are we expected to believe that the rebel cylons will attack and start another war/battle within the next 180 minutes? I guess no one in the fleet knows that the show is ending...poor folk.

– i don't remember baltar getting a haircut?

– tigh can't say "most of my life trying to kill your kind" now that his is like...3,000? years old, and has only spent like 50 trying to kill the cylons.

– boomer is the worst parent ever.

– some episodes, tigh is so proud to be "human" and in others he just puts up with being a cylon. guy can't make up his mind. he should poison ellen again...

– ew, is that the sound of starbuck peeing?

– starbuck is an angel ghost zombie cylon.

– busting out that season 1 baltar the scientist reference. nice. i guess its strange that he went from science to faith so completely...

– hybrid anders could be awesomely insightful. unless he babbles like a hybrid more than an anders..

– damn, that blinking being in sync with the lights flickering was really neat.

– ...pot? what the hell show is this? battlestar lebowski?

– it took her her entire life to think about the meaning of "home". she had it good.

– "hm! this dust i scratched off of dead starbuck's dog tag proves it: she was in a crash and she came across her own dead body on earth 5 episodes ago!"

– dear liza, dear liza, there's a whole in the bucket. i used to love that spearhead song...why is anders repeating it? why does earth look like the remnants of our earth, yet was destroyed 2,000 years ago, and they are still quoting songs from the 1970s and 90s? There were no new songs since then?

– adama always condones suicide missions. why change now?

– lee gonna kill gaius.

– what is this thing? the cylon planetship?

– if you had a dime for every time that bill adama took of his rank-pins, you'd have like $50 or so.

– bill adama, the post modern painter.

– maybe this isn't the end of the show. if they abandon the galactica by seasons end, then they have to change the name of the show. so, there could be a season 5, it'd just be called "Basestar with humans and cylon living together on it and also starbuck the angel". Or, the acronym version: BHCLTASTA!

– I'm not ready for this final episode...
