I'm so not ready. Box of tissues is on standby.

If there's any issues or errors please email me at 732ReviewCrew@gmail.com, I notice this the quickest.

To be absolutely clear - the ending's suggestion is that humans on earth, i.e. us, are a hybrid of cylons and humans. And by cylons we mean new cyclons, "skinjobs", created by the 13th tribe cylons. I mean I think the show is about the journey but it kinda mostly works. The one flaw, I think, of the ending is the pacing is really unusual relative to the rest of the show - or rather some parts are normal, some fast and some really slow paced - which I don't mind but I have a high tollerance for that sort of thing, but it's there to the degree even I notice it. Also, yeah, angels - sure, they may or may not be real depending on your various opinions, but in the show's universe they definitely are: sometimes characters in shows tell you exactly what they are right from the start :) Also I kinda like the way the very end has aged, given how quickly AI research and robotics have moved on since it was made.

It's going to be fun when I re watch this one day and just can take everything at face value instead of trying to figure it out Mikey

Oh, also WW and Fringe reveal at the end there, both *very* solid shows that don't get the reaction respect they both deserve.

Hey Mikey, that's exactly what happened for the fanbase. Everyone had a GOT out-of-love moment from the finale, but when you watch the show back you realize that the writers have told you literal truth from the beginning, they just don't underline it or emphasize it. The ending is actually very logical and aligned from the start - but you as the audience member have to simply accept the fact when they're talking about Angels, they're real. When you watch the show from that perspective, you realize, oh crap, this has been consistent from the beginning.

Of note, for it taking weeks to run new lines to hook Anders up elsewhere, it makes sense. You really can't just run the lines in the passageways ("hallways") as you then couldn't seal the ship against decompression. The time is cutting holes in pressure bulkheads, feed the cables, and then reseal the bulkheads and retest. That would take a lot of time. Like a lot.

Yup, and realizing that the dying leader wasn't Roslin after all but actually Galactica. Roslin gave up on her journey, even burning her books and such. Towards the end, she was a dying leader, yes, but had no part in leading anyone anywhere. She gave up after the first "earth". The "true Earth" was all Galactica herself...leading the fleet every step of the way and dying towards the end.

Had to part with the DVDs for a move. Really challenging trying to match the scenes you were on with the Amazon Prime version. Thankful for the blurred scenes throughout, but wish you could have unblurred the closed captioning at regular intervals. Definitely think the extended version is the better version. Suspect Joe would disagree, as much of the extended content is extended flashbacks. E.g. the whole scene with 6 getting Baltar's father into an appropriate care facility was cut for time in the aired version. As someone who saw parts of the original BSG series and spinoff, the finale to this series really rubbed me wrong way when I first saw it. I have since come to appreciate the series end a bit more. The series finale is controversial in that God is pretty much the answer to all the unanswerable questions about why certain things happened. But it was setup that way all along, so it doesn't feel like they tacked it on last minute. I took what Ellen said about the Daniels at face value. That a vindictive Cavil sabotaged his resurrection capability because he didn't serve his needs. That's totally his M.O. Every time you were off in the weeds speculating on how Daniel wasn't really dead, I was facepalming. Hard. Hope you all enjoyed the show and your time reacting to it.

Thank you! For future full lengths I may attempt what you said with the close captioning. That never occurred to me to be copy right friendly, navigating it is all a minefield

David Boyd

They might be just as picky or pickier with closed captioning. But for syncing purposes, you don't have to include a whole conversation. Just enough to be easily recognizable for purposes of comparison.
