that's more like a ghost than an angel...
Another edit: Btw, looking forward to playing the Battle of the Black Hole in Diaspora. ;7
Possibly. It's one of those things I think we'll never know. I think it's safe to surmise that Kara at that point was metaphysical though. And clearly God has had a guiding hand in everything from the beginning.
Also, minor edit for the thread title, this was technically Episode 22, not 21.
good ending except for the destruction of the fleet, they should of dismantled it for good and used it for settlements, that way they could keep in contact easier, i get RDM wanting to fit them into out past etc, but i mean common, sieriously ??
22 part 2 doesn't make any sense though. :wtf: Well, whatever, doesn't matter.

Quick and dirty :nervous:
Absolutely frakking amazing. Ron Moore did not disappoint (nice cameo, btw). As the episode unfolded, I found myself going "Oh, I get that now! And that! It all makes sense!" The battle was epic, and the ending was very satisfying. I think they went a little over the top at the very end, with Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" and the montage of robots. But I like that they tied the series back to the overall message, that all of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again. I guess the question is, will we as humanity break the cycle this time?

The very end with the dialog and the montage was a bit heavy-handed for my tastes. The same purpose could have been served by simply having the Cylon theme play and Baltar/Six in the center of the crowd with it moving around them as if they're not there and on one of the bilboards a Centurion-esque product is advertised before a final taiko drum and fade to black.

How did the end of the show, show that the cycle was broken? I must have missed something.
Two things I need explained:
- 'Earth', wasn't it eradicated? Wherever they were in this episode, it was not the Earth of the 13th tribe
- You know he doesn't like being called that ?????????????
If they hadn't revealed themselves to everyone else, what were they doing for the past 150,000 years?
Sure, sex is nice, but for 150,000 years?

I think that would have been worse.
Anything Cylon in modern day would have been picked apart forever.
I think this episode could have done without the last two minutes tying into the 'real world', making such a blunt cautionary tale. It wasn't enough to ruin a mostly-satisfying ending, though.
EDIT: A few thoughts, that I suspended while watching:
- None of the potential 'dying leaders' didn't make it to New Earth.
It was a lovely touch the TOS music as the fleet flew to the sun.
Turns out Baltar (more likely his later reincarnation) is Jesus, after all
It was a lovely touch the TOS music as the fleet flew to the sun.
That's been heard before. Tis the Colonial Anthem, first heard in season 2.
The Opera scene was the confirmation of predestination as it relates between key people. It's the mystic bull**** I was referring to. It was meant to show how it's all been already set in stone, and the actors were just playing their parts faithfully, or to put it better, "how it all comes true in the end".
I think most of us wanted all that stuff to be more and have a better meaning, but it just wasn't. And that's fine, I mean, considering our entire species practices mass delusion in fantastic numbers on a daily basis, it's not like the show was catering that aspect to me, or people like me. A lot of the final episode, and Galactica in general now that we can look at it as a whole, was meant to straddle the line, entertain all sorts of people who believe or don't believe in things.
Just have to accept some things are not FOR you. At least, these aspects of the show were not for me. I can't speak for any of you.
Mysticism may be a way to answer the questions that some paths of reason can not.
Mysticism may be a way to answer the questions that some paths of reason can not.right on.
I'm sorry, I'm not that advanced so as to take mysticism as fact for the missing pieces of logic. If you can do that though, and treat it as an acceptable existence, hats off to you.
*really long theory*
*really long theory*
Not bad at all. However, your theory uses time travel, something that we don't know is possible in the BSG universe. If it were, and if it was as easy as picking the right FTL Coordinates, then it would have been used, and there is no evidence of that.
I know, and I don't like bringing time travel into it either.
But, the way I see it, it's either that or a massive cosmic plot hole in the astronomy of Galactica; The constellations they were seeing on the Kobol's Earth-simulator and on Earth as they found it nuked were the same as we see now, which is 150000 years from the series ending point and them founding another earth.
If the Earth they found first was the original one and constellations haven't drifted too far from present-day configuration, and the Earth they found at the end of the series was a different planet in different place but no timetravel involved, then the logical conclusion is that all this is happening in the Hitchiker's Guide to Galaxy universe and the other Earth has been made by Magratheans or something completely different.
It's also a vague possibility that the "Earth" they first found was not actually Earth but some planet "close enough" on galactic scene not to cause too much distortions on the constellations, but I find that unlikely at best.
Time travel, unfortunately, is the simplest way to explain how they found an Earth in a location with matching constellations, and later found another planet with matching continents and no nuclear holocaust history (or much else either). I guess we should just be happy that no hoverbikes were involved. :nervous:
Magratheans aren't a better explanation either (YMMV). :p

EDIT: A few thoughts, that I suspended while watching:
- None of the potential 'dying leaders' didn't make it to New Earth.
- Why was the opera house projection so important and forshadow-worthy? The role of Baltar and Caprica Six in getting Hera to the CIC was very minor, compared to all the other things that happened to the girl. In fact, what was so important about Hera? Why couldn't anyone else be the mitochondrial Eve? Was she just a rallying symbol for leading Galactica to the final battle?
- The nature of Starbuck and the motives of the 'Head angels' were left unexplained, which is diappointing, considering how much of the series was invested in these mysteries. 'Something has been guiding us all along' is nothing that hasn't been said before.
One thing that makes me angry is that in the end, it didn't matter at all if the fleet survived or not. Think about it: they didn't bring any technology to the new world, they threw it all into the sun. They didn't start again and try and continue with their lives, they just sort of stopped. They set back the human scientific understanding of the universe by tens of thousands of years. They did bring knowledge, thought, but not the means to use all of it. They have enough knowledge to survive, but that's essentially it.
If the fleet was destroyed, say at the beginning of the fourth season, it's perfectly possible that the same end result would have happened: with people on "Earth" being a technological civilization 150,000 years later.
Other than that (the last half hour or so), it was an excellent ending. It's just that the above lingers in my mind and gnaws at it.
...the red paint centurions? They looked like they were right out of Braveheart. I loved it. It made them look even more badass than they were before. And the fact that they didn't wash it off by the end of the show shows they liked it too.

Well, I'm in the minority here I see but damn that sucked. I'm wiping everything after the reveal of Africa from space out of my memory and pretending it never happened so as not to completely spoil the best sci fi show in years. Ugh. :(
Very, very disappointing.
And anyone else notice a lot of holes in the story? Raptors jumped from inside Galactica and didn't tear it apart? Galactica jumped from inside the colony and didn't tear that apart or even leave a scratch? And that conviniently placed and timed nuke launch was wierd as hell too. It

Wat?
They make better Anime, on like, a daily basis.
One of the observations that I forgot to mention last night was that since Hera=Lucy and Lucy=Our "humanity's" Eve (our "humanity"=half Cylon) then doesn't that imply that none of the descendants of the Colonial Fleet survived long enough to exert dominance and be "The" definitive ancestors of our modern "human" race. Which means that the Colonial strain of humanity went extinct, which means...
Kara really was the Harbinger of Humanity's Destruction.
Right?
:confused:
I think I see Centurions out my window..
Aghhhh their back!!!!!!!!!!
Its possible their could be some terrible spin off show in a few years time "Return of the Cylons"
Maybe they were watching our progress the whole time!
Nukes on standby...
Just as a matter of curiousity, are all other Cylons now dead? As in all the Cavils, etc, and old style centurions?? Their must be some baseships still out there...........somewhere.......

Which is another can of worms and would suggest towards timetravel hypothesis... it's a better option than a divine hand as suggested by Baltar.
Mitochondrial eve is a term that is used to describe a common ancestory between all humanity due to a genetic bottleneck in human species in the distant past. It is estimated that at one point all of human species consisted of a few thousand people, who likely originated from one tribe that started to expand.
The assumption that Hera was the mitochondrial eve of humanity on this Earth doesn't work either, because there were a lot more females around in both ragtag fleet and the indigenous people. Moreover, Hera's mitochondrial DNA should - according to present day genetics - actually be cylon mitochondrial DNA from Athena/Number 8 line. And she could only be the true mitochondrial eve if all the other females' lineages simply ended at some point, which is... unlikely at best, and would seem to suggest to some problems that the colonial human females would have had with reproduction.
Even then it wouldn't explain why Hera's mitochondrial DNA would take over the mitochondrial DNA of the indigenous people already inhabiting the area.
I gotta say, the way some people are analyzing this episode, you'd think RDM was proposing BSG as an actual theory for the origins of humanity. :p Really, it's a science fiction television show, and you're going to need to embrace suspension of disbelief to a certain extent. Within the context of the show, the ending makes a fair amount of sense. But if you start looking for answers to everything, back up by real science no less, you're setting yourself up for a fall.

Did anyone notice they only lost FOUR vipers? Or that frakkin' Lampkin was president for a while. All in all a great ending to a great show. I was so worried they'd screw it up somehow and it was so good I watched it twice. :D

The fate of the Colony was somehow lost in the final cut.
The plan was to secretly jump the Raptors far away, and at the right time, lauch enough missiles to knock the Colony out of it’s very delicate orbit around the black hole and INTO the black hole. The final shots of the Colony were to be of it slipping out of orbit and breaking up.
That’s why the Raptors had to launch out of the flight pods - so no one would see them heading off AND to make sure they actually would make it a safe distance away (if they simply launched and tried to fly the distance, they’d probably get picked off).
This wasn’t very clear in the air version, but the longer, DVD version may address it.
Moore certainly could have ended the series with some dialogue describing how they would keep their technology and take steps to see that AI wouldn't be abused, or that robotics wouldn't be developed into a Cylon form, but he chose NOT to take this path, a path that most of us would certainly find reasonable.
But they were co-existing by the end of the show. For example, those centurions didn't go on the raid to get hera on the colony because they had to, they went because they chose to. The renegade cylons (which is pretty much all that's left of the cylon race) were, by the end of the series, responsible for the safety of the civilian fleet. humans and cylons were working together.
You all missed the KEY sentence.
It was something like this: The scientific and technological development always was eons ahead of spiritual development. Lee abandoned technology in the hope that by the time humanity again develops such high technology to create true AI, we will be mature enough to coexist with them instead of enslaving them and fighting them again and again. And THAT is the implication which puts the very end to the real perspective. We see our own technological civilization, at the dawn of developing our new cylons, but the question remains: are we grown up for that? Are we emotionally and spiritually mature enough to tamper with real creation, giving birth to an alien sentient race?
Frak you too! Was that the answer you were looking for?You all missed the KEY sentence.

The thing is, they can't just forget this and try and start over. If they have a "clean slate", then that means they really haven't learned their lesson yet; it's essentially "well that didn't work, let's try again in about two hundred thousand years."
Honestly though, I can see where the difficulty in maintaining this knowledge could be over such a long period of time, regardless of what people do. Well no I can't, because they really need to remember this forever and ever. The closest analogy I can think of is the issue of slavery, only without as much clarity. I'm no psycho-historian; I don't know if we'll have slaves again in two hundred thousand years.
But they were co-existing by the end of the show. For example, those centurions didn't go on the raid to get hera on the colony because they had to, they went because they chose to. The renegade cylons (which is pretty much all that's left of the cylon race) were, by the end of the series, responsible for the safety of the civilian fleet. humans and cylons were working together.
There's an obvious reason for why they went primitive, hidden in the show's subtext.
"No city. Not this time." They were afraid of another New Caprica. Odds are that most of the Colonials wouldn't have been willing to live in a settlement under joint Cylon-Human rule. What's more, if they left the fleet in orbit -- or even nearby -- it could have been detected by whatever remains of Cavil's forces, hellbent on revenge.
I just wish they'd made it explicit in dialogue.

I've been lolling for about half an hour watching all of the videos about that scene
I think the strong inference is that humanity will do it again,
Sorry, I meant to say would probably do it again, with only a slim possibility that we might escape such a fate. It was not filmed as a certainly, but showing our robots and attempts at AI, together with the Baltar-like's comments leaves little hope for a future for mankind in thier show-reality, given our lack of ability to flee to other worlds and our inability to treat eachother as equals, let alone a creed of robots that we specifically create as slaves..I think the strong inference is that humanity will do it again,
I didn't see it that way. I saw it as them saying that it could happen again.
HT, I think your synopsis is a bit off the mark. The disaster on Kobol was the start of the cycle, and was not a disease but the very first clash of humanity with its creation (the Pithean scrolls talked about one Lord of Kobol wanting to be elevated above the others - this is likely the humans use of their Cylons as the slaves they were created to be). The war on Kobol led to a split, where the humans went one way and their Cylons the other (the Colonies and Earth, respectively), where events repeated themselves fairly simultaneously. There is never any suggestion that it all started on our Earth.
Can someone please fix the topic's title...?
Here's my interpretation of Colonial-Cylon history as it relates to the show.
...
Kara's Watchtower co-ordinates made the FTL drive into a time machine. Basically FTL drive would be a 4-dimensional vector manipulator instead of just three-dimensional, and in fact the reason why such apparently complex calculus is needed for preparing jumps is to keep the timeframe constant. The co-ordinates fed to Kara Thrace the Second (and the final Five at some point, they just didn't end up figuring it out entirely) ended up moving the fleet to Earth as it was 150000 years ago on this reality's timeframe (as it's depicted in the show) ...
I was kind of hoping Cavil was going to buy it from the Centurions, would have been more poetic, but I have to admit, I did enjoy that, probably just as much. He was vicious in the final 6 episodes.

Very briefly... Herra's interpretation specially rings the bell here at my end. I've read several serious papers during these last 5 years which amazingly reinforced predictions on backwards time travel; basically and quite briefly again.. by spinning around the accretion disk of a singularity and under certain very special conditions...
Nevertheless from my point of view, the trick to determine whether that planet is our Earth or not would certainly be its very unique and own satellite ( and if you want; African continent aside... )
Just my 2.5 cents
PS: And how not... MAGNIFICIENT ending for our very beloved show !!! :)
Quite. If they could time travel, which doesn't fit with the show's feel anyway, then wouldn't they have done so to just before the attack on the Colonies, or better, to just before the Cylons were created?
The problem with that is that, while travelling backwards might be possible, travelling forwards isn't. Galactica needed to send a Raptor back to the RTF to tell them where Earth is, meaning that that Raptor would need to go forward to rendezvous with the fleet, and then backwards to Galactica again. If they were able to do time travel that accurately, they would have done it before.
I agree. Time travel is a piss poor plothole filler, only marginally better than Goddidit. It also tends to make more problems than it solves (back and forth travel for one). Which is why I posted the revised theory which ignores the celestial discrepancies such has matching constellations to modern day Earth when observed from the nuked "Earth"...
Oh by the way, traveling to future is possible, going back in time isn't. At least according to most interpretations of general relativity.
When you think about it, we are traveling to the future all the time. Just introduce some time dilating factor on yourself and you can travel to future faster than others. :p Going to past though would seem to be impossible (not counting stuff like tachyons here).
Talking about time travel to the future. The relativistic time frame for a faster traveller looks like some sort of "cryostasis" to me as well as some sort of fake time travel. You catch me at this one?. There's much to discover and much more to know and, being not this the better place to discuss on these matters, I foresee that travelling backwards is possible, teleporting is possible, cloning particles is possible, space jumps too... and the list goes on.
Sorry, mate; that was metaphoric.

I think Nightstorm has some valid criticisms from some perspectives.
The flashbacks, I think, showed us critical things about the character arcs -- and demonstrated how far they'd come.
Hera was important because she was fated to be the ancestor of all of us here on Earth, Cylon-Human hybrids.
As for God, its role in the series has been foreshadowed/established since '33'. It wasn't a clumsy plot device; it was an obvious payoff.
But my question is;
Why is she so frakking important to rescue? What INCLINED them to go?
I disagree. My read on that was that Adamas decision had more to do with not letting Galactica die quietly, but letting her last actions have meaning.
Not quite sure what the point was though of jumping the raptors OUT of the unused flight pod. I get that it was for a stealthier approach, but they could have just as easily pulled the same move they did when Lee and crew abandoned Pegasus.

Actually, the entire explanation for this was cut of from the version that aired on TV. The Raptors were to jump unnoticed some distance from the Colony and then fire the nukes to destabilise its orbit and plunge it into the black hole (notice the entire spinning after Racetrack fires here nukes and how the nukes didn't manage to destroy the Colony or even seriously damage it). But much of this was cut off from the version we got, so now the Raptors scene makes little sense.

Given the design of the Cylon SpyPod we saw in the Miniseries/Kobol's Last Gleaming, and Cylon software expertise, and their general hipness, I think it much more likely they're running Apple.
No. no. no! The Cylons went away and found their own new home world, and they named it ... Cybertron....and then they lost the Allspark so they went looking and found a planet with Megan Fox on it :D
