GREAT EPISODE! I AGREE WITH MOST OF YOU THAT IT LEFT A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS! ELLEN WAS A GOOD FIT FOR THE 5TH CYLON BUT ADAMA WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY TIED IN PROCREATION.

KARA COULD HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH BETTER. IF THEY WERE GOING TO LET HER GO OUT LIKE THAT SO THEY SHOULDN’T HAD HER FREAKING OUT ON EARTH WHEN SHE DISCOVERED HER BURNT BODY. IT WAS CHEESEY FOR HER TO SAY MY MISSION IS COMPLETE AND THEN DISAPPEARING.

HERA’S CHARACTER SHOULD HAVE HAD A BIGGER ROLE. THEY HAD TO MUCH INVESTED IN HER TO LET IT GO.

IT WAS SO MUCH MORE FOR THEM TO DO WITH THIS EPISODE. GAIDA COULD HAVE BEEN THE 5TH ALSO OR FOR THAT MATTER THE 7 THAT THEY BOXED AND MENTION BUT NEVER REVEALED.

THEY NEVER MADE IT CLEAR IF THE CYLONS AGE AND DIE OR HOW LONG DO THEY LIVE? WE DO KNOW THAT THE FINAL 5 HAD BEEN BORN ON EARTH, THEREFORE WE ASSUME THAT THEY AGE. ALSO SINCE ADAMA TOLD TIGH THAT HE HAD HAIR AND HE AGED. WE DO KNOW THAT THE 1 MODEL BLOCKED THE FINAL 5′S MEMORIES AND PLACED THEM INSIDE THE COLONIES. WHICH BRINGS ME BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION, HOW LONG DO THEY LIVE? THEY COULD HAVE SAID THAT ONCE THE START BEING RESSURECTED THEY LOOSE THEIR ABILITY TO REPRODUCE. WERE THEY ON CAPRICA DURING THE FIRST WAR. WERE THEY SLEEPING SO TO SPEAK FOR 2000 YEARS?

Deus ex machina, indeed! That´s what Battlestar Galactica is about. Good episode.

The Rest of the fleet got the coordinates from a Raptor that jumped to the Rendevouz-Point and back.

Kara Thrace was referred to as “The Harbringer of Death” but ultimately Racetrack played that Part by nuking the cylon colony even though she was dead by that time.

Ok, first of all, I’d like to say to everyone that had problems with BSG’s religious explanations, WHAT SHOW HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING????? Caprica Six has been saying to Baltar from the very begining that she’s a messenger from GOD!!!! I don’t know how much clearer you wanted it to be. Anyways, I thought the entire series finale was brilliant. There’s just one loophole-How did the rest of the fleet get Kara’s coordinates? Other than that, I thought it was a perfect ending. I’m sad to see the show go.

I just saw the episode last night, and still haven’t decided whether I love it or otherwise… One thing’s for sure, Ron Moore’s done it again and totally surprised us with this ending! There were so many wonderful, moving moments you’ve already listed, so I won’t. But what I didn’t like at all was Apollo ending up all alone (no Dualla, no Starbuck, no Dad… what the frak?! he deserves better!!!). Felt bad for Boomer, did anyone ever give Adama her message? (”I owed him one”). I really did enjoy the flashbacks, a glimpse into their lives as part of the farewell… And while I did enjoy the tie-in with the Opera House vision, having the final five standing together just looking over the CIC felt contrived… why would they be up there? Tigh and Tyrol would have had better things to be doing with all hell blowing loose like it was…

And not one to criticise what is a great recap (I’m too lazy to recap it on my blog so I’m just going to link to you if you don’t mind!), but you’ve got a couple of details wrong!
1- Adama didn’t say the words from Watchtower, Starbuck did. He said “Starbuck get us out of here”, and after she says “The coordinates for the rdv aren’t in the nav computer” she goes on to add (with the Watchtower theme starting up) “There must be some kind of way out of here” before starting to punch in the numbers as if playing a piano.
2- Adama didn’t take Laura’s ring, he took it off his own finger (it’s been there since the beginning) and placed it on hers. Very touching!!!

So there are two identical earths, in two identical star systems, with identical star formations in their skies? And humanity spontaneously sprung up on two separate planets, and evolved in such a way that when they happened to meet they would be able to interbreed. Okay, this isn’t a lame attempt to get them out of the whole they wrote themselves into, it is just an old deus ex machina plot device. “That was a completely different Earth we found before! Fooled you didn’t we> Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk.” Look, the show introduces all these ideas, plots, and story line, and the promise is that they will be solved in an entertaining and even creative way. Their solution: “bait and switch dude, there’s two identical Earths in the universe.”

Maybe they were flash-forwards, not flash-backs.

wow, after the final i realist that i completly ignort the whole “natur” of the series the whole time …. the whole thing with “god” i ignored it

but i have to say that it was in most parts a realy nice ending for the series only the thing with earth was… lets say i withed another ending… something where i can imaging what could happen after the ending of the series (and does anybody believe that humans wouldn`t build a city and rape the whole planet?)
