For half an hour, I was watching a really good sci-fi version of Law and Order/Nuremberg. Then all of a sudden, I got really stoned and saw Tyrrol, Tigh, Starbuck's widow and Rosalinds aid hum Jimi Hendrix and realize they're Cylons. And to top that off you got Starbuck herself back from the dead proclaiming that she'll lead them to earth, and all this on top of a fleetwide power outage and another Cylon dogfight.

Wait, that was for real? Holy shit!! That tops the last two finales.

January 2008 can't get here fast enough.

Actually the cover was performed by Brendan McCreary aka Bt4. He is the brother of series composer Bear McCreary.

Holy hell that episode was fantastic! The last three episodes have really sunk the hook back in me. Although it is going to suck waiting 9 months I'll definitely be back.

Lee's speech was incredible. I thought for sure he would stick the knife in his father but instead he questioned the integrity of the entire fleet.

I knew Gaeta had hatred for Baltar but I didn't expect him to flat out lie on the stand. Of course if he told the truth it would have exonerated Baltar.

During Lee's "testimony" I kept having this feeling that Bill was going to vote not guilty. When he admitted it to Roslin I thought one of them was going to suggest Baltar be dealt with using some non-legal justice. She really has seemed to walk a fine moral line of late.

Not sure what to make of the four would be cylons. I thought there was something about how the skin jobs only came into existence a few years ago. Given Tigh's age and amount of time he has known Bill something doesn't add up. Unless of course the final five are much older and left the cylon community long ago.

I knew Starbuck wasn't gone. What was the deal with her ship blinking on and off Lee's scope? Perhaps a more advanced model...it did appear shiny and new.

No it wouldn't. Because Gaeta wasn't there when Baltar was forced to sign the death warrant. He doesn't know the truth of why Baltar signed it. That's why he's a liar.

Incredible. Just incredible. I thought the show had started to go downhill the past season, but the past few episodes have really made up for it. When I saw Starbuck pull up alongside Apollo, I got goosebumps.

I can't believe the show won't be back until 2008 though. Makes me wonder what in the frak Sci-Fi is thinking.....

I got goose bumps as well when I saw the pyramid of Viper engines behind Lee. That was a great TV moment. My wife came into the room because I was whooping it up so much at the end. All I could say was that might have been some of the best TV I've ever watched. That was a great episode for sure.
I can't believe they are making us wait till 08 to get new shows, but I guess thats alot of time to debate whats going on.

My question exactly... How the frak am I going to wait that long!!??

Does it have something to do with the movie they're making to be out in the fall and having ordered the 22 more eps for the next season?

I've been following BSG all along, and love it.
Best show on tv right now, even considering the latest season's faltering start!! It's more than made up for it in these last three eps!

And Mark's performance- Incredible!

Is there a former thread discussing this? I've not been keeping up on the theories and the ideas everyone is having about what is going on and I'd love to catch up.


Causal ( OT ) are you referring to Alvin Carl Plantinga in your sig? Just curious.

Movie?? What movie??

Also, I'd heard somewhere that because it won't start back up until January '08, there'll only be 13 season-4 eps. Got any good sources/links?
