What is the purpose of the final five (and they have a plan...)? Who is the fifth? What is the story with all the cylon-children (Six is pregnant!)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-39242922616803960372008-06-18T15:00:00.000-04:002008-06-18T15:00:00.000-04:00When I first saw it I had the same reaction -- not...When I first saw it I had the same reaction -- not the same heart-drops-catch-your-breath moment as the others. But I've watched the episode twice now and I gotta say... it's growing on me. And as I think about it, it's totally in line with the show's tone -- very bleak, leaves a lot of open questions, etc. I'm also really curious about the whole Kara-as-harbinger-of-doom thing... I dunno, I feel like the open-ended finale actually gives you a lot of room to ruminate and hypothesize and try to figure out what on earth (no pun intended) happened -- and, really, though, what were they expecting exactly, and why? I think to answer these questions they're definitely going to need to get more into the mythology/spirituality of the show, which I am psyched about. <BR/><BR/>I agree the revelations felt rushed, although I disagree about Adama's reaction. It totally rings true for me. Someone you've known most of your adult life and you suddenly find out he is not the person you KNEW he was? That's not just the loss of a friend -- that's a loss of yourSELF. If you were wrong about something so fundamental, in someone you have trusted for as long as you can remember... what else are you wrong about? I've recently had an experience that's somewhat analogous, so for me the emotions rang completely true -- but maybe that just means Adama has the emotions of a 26-year-old woman ;)Law Fairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02590678306595147920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-69745561161237835542008-06-16T22:31:00.000-04:002008-06-16T22:31:00.000-04:00Yeah, I can sort of see where they thought they we...Yeah, I can sort of see where they thought they were creating a suspenseful ending, but it didn't really work. Their other season cliffhangers were so much better.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402032441340037301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-31215343593734910922008-06-15T03:07:00.000-04:002008-06-15T03:07:00.000-04:00I thought that Earth was either going to be a wrec...I thought that Earth was either going to be a wreck, or they were going to send in a "We Come in Peace" group that would be shot down by the Earthlings for being Aliens.<BR/><BR/>The scene with the XO & Admiral seems like more was filmed & perhaps they cut a bunch?<BR/><BR/>It did kind of flatten out at the end, but I am curious to find out what happened to Earth, who was sending the signal, and why they were all called to that planet.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959637910926242468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-91879947261811834002008-06-14T18:42:00.000-04:002008-06-14T18:42:00.000-04:00Instead of unlikely coincidences that suddenly app...<I>Instead of unlikely coincidences that suddenly appear to have been preordained, we got maybe one of the laziest deus ex machina moments since baroque opera went out of fashion.</I><BR/> ;)!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
