I'd like to make the quick prediction that the planet they wind up on - and I think they'll wind up on one, at the end of the finale - is actually Earth, as we know it, whereas the "Earth" they found nuked isn't.

I don't think we ever got a clear screen-shot of Nuked Earth*, so that's my theory.




* - And I'm not talking about the shot of Our Earth we see after Starbuck's sudden return at the end of Season 3. We don't know that's where they wound up; that planet had something to do with The Song, whereas Nuked Earth was found using Starbuck's shiny new Viper, and not The Song.

Wasnt Nuke dearth found to match with the solar system they spied in athenas temple/ tomb place?

If so then its definately the cylon earth, not ours.

Well I saw the finale, it was great. Liked the battle, liked the end since it ties into what I am learning about.

Won't say more until other people get a chance to see it since otherwise someone may stumble in here and be like omg spoilers.

[Werthead]

I liked it.

But from the sound of the ENTIRE INTERNET EXPLODING, I'm guessing a lot of others didn't.

But it was badass. The final shots were a little mawkish (yeah, Ron, we get it, creating killer robots is a bad idea) but otherwise it all worked nicely. Well, almost:

Hoo yar, Starbuck. People really don't like the way she just vanished. But y'know, I'm thinking she was Gandalf the White. She got offed early so the Cylon God sent her back until her job was done. Then it was and she's off to Valinor. Seems fair enough.

[Stalker]

@ Wert- that is exactly what I thought of, since they say a lot of the same things at the end. Though I did see a lot of people complain.

[HoosierDaddy]

I could have done w/o the:

Spoiler

LOTR movie trilogy like 10 false endings though.

Besides that, frakkiin awesome.

[RodeoRanch]

Great finale. Very beautiful.

I have Season 1 on DVD. I'll think I'll pick up the rest of the series.

[Macros]

just finished.

Fantastic, agree totally with the sentiments that post awesome it was a bit protracted, I think they could have wrapped that up a little more rapidly.
That being said, the VERY end was wonderful.

Baltar is still a douchebag.

[flea]

Great last episode.

Seems to me that I called it pretty accurately: http://www.malazanempire.com/IPBforum/inde...mp;#entry527133

I just spent the whole day watching the entire season 4. I had purposely put of watching the season so that I could do this. Dedicate a whole day to one of the best Science fiction shows ever made, if not the best. 7am till 11:10pm. A day well spent.

Overall I felt the whole season could have been shorter though. It felt like there was too much filler for what they already knew to be the final series. All the plot twist were fantastic, if not in some cases extremely obvious.

Thoughts on the finale:

Spoiler

I liked it. It was never going to live up to how I felt they should have done it. The final shot of Baltar and Six was fantastic, don't get me wrong. Even if Ronald D. Moore inserting himself into the scene was extremely retarded. Even my uncle who doesn't know who the guy is could tell he was out of place. But the scenes before that were extremely sloppy and just cringe worthy in my mind. Starbuck disappearing was needed because they had obviously not thought out a intelligent story end for her. Which is fair enough I guess.

I had kinda wished Her to maybe be something alot more then just an Angel sent by God. I don't know. Expectations too high.

Laura Roslin dying was long overdue. I hated her character from the get go. And I stopped watching the show on many occasions simply because of her rage inducing face.

Uhh, Thats about all really. I laughed out loud when John shot himself in the mouth when he thought him and the other Cylons were being tricked. Classic.

All in all, It was a great series with an adequate end.

[Macros]

Couldnt agree more about Roslins face.
That one fucking facial expression for smiling, whinging, crying, permanently there. Pissed me off SO much

[Stalker]

I liked seeing Moore in the final scene, seemed fitting.

[Kurt Montandon]

Spoiler

Well, I was right about the two-Earths thing.

Also, I thought the only bad part of the finale was the cheesy robot montage at the end. That just seemed ... ham-handed. They could have done so much more with the final shots, and they went with a bunch of toy robots. WTF? A lot of military hardware would've made much, much more sense. Or even just make something up ...

[Macros]

a few tranformers shots hould have done the trick

[drinksinbars]

took its time, but good enough, should have ended as the saw earth over the moon, and when they went to ask kara where she had brought them she should have just been gone.

[cerveza_fiesta]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHA

OOOOoh my god. Just watched the start of the last episode where Saul and Adama are sitting in the titty bar

and Saul is giving the YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! to the strippers while adama pounds back like 3 shots of hard booze.

Officially best scene in Battlestar. Ever. Bar none.

[Macros]

I disconcur, second best scene ever.
Best scene is adama puking all over himself

[cerveza_fiesta]

I'd rank that a second actually,

regardless, cool that the best 2 scenes in all of BSG are that close together...ie one after the other.

[Stalker]

I liked how as the fleet flew into the sun they planed the music from the 1978 Battlestar, seemed fitting.

Didn't realize until recently that the guy doing Zarek (Richard Hatch) was Capt. Apollo in the original. That's cool.

[Macros]

Liked how at the colony the cheesy old school toasters were there. that was hilarious, made me think of frook
