How cold was Sundays Battlestar Galactica finale?
Pretty cool. Actually, you suspicion it rocked.
So Tigh, Tory, Chief Tyrol as great as Anders have been all Cylons. you dont know about you, yet which revelation blew my mind.
And as others have forked out, all of them were leaders of a insurgency upon New Caprica. Coincidence? Maybe not.
Since sneaking upon a TelevisionWithoutPity.com Battlestar spoiler board a whilst back, you havent been able to get a single commenters suspicion out of my head -- which might be there have been no humans. Maybe there have been usually different Cylon factions during war, as great as a Tigh-Tory-Tyrol-Anders contingent is usually a single faction inside of which war.
I consider that's a pretty constrained idea: What if there have been no humans, as great as this shows been about a Cylons try to reclaim or rise a humanity of their human creators -- who have been prolonged dead?
Heres another speculation posted upon this site progressing this week: Maybe a Cylons created a humans, not a alternative approach around.
Thats even wilder, yet as you know, Battlestar doesnt bashful divided from a wild. you suffer it when a uncover upends my expectations in such in advance ways -- carrying earned a right to do so with plain storytelling first. And these final couple episodes of a deteriorate have been about as plain as it gets upon TV (and of course, a little of Sunday's developments might have been set up great prior to this final bunch of episodes -- afterwards again, meaningful Ron Moore's affinity for shaking things up along a way, might be not. Who cares. This culmination worked for me).
All of these thoughts have been pure speculation, keep in mind. you have not a scintilla of information about what is essentially starting upon as great as what great see next season. And thats a approach you wish it -- right away you can essentially spend a prolonged months until a uncover returns in Jan 2008 trying to figure out what a writers have up their sleeves for deteriorate four. Of march great probably be wrong, as great as you have every goal which theyll come up with something distant better than what you can dream up.
So, Kara Starbuck Thrace still alive? Reborn? A Cylon? Tanned, rested as great as ready to rule a galaxy as a little kind of intergalactic goddess? Knows where Earth is? Ready to lead a swift there? All of a above? Or is Lee Adama usually carrying a single completely tripped-out vision?
Ive got no idea. My usually concrete suspicion is that, if she's found a wormhole, she should stop by Quarks bar upon Deep Space Nine during a little point. Saving a remaining human population (if thats what a people aboard a fleet's vessels are) is thirsty work. Say hi to Morn for me, Kara!
Slightly some-more seriously, a vast number of commenters upon this site in new weeks seem to consider which Kara might right away be (and regularly has been?) a Being of Light or a goddess or a little alternative sort of celestial creature. Then again, she could have regularly been a Cylon as great as she might have downloaded after Lee lost steer of her in Maelstrom.
Or she could be none of a above. And in all truth, you lend towards to consider Lee was not saying a vision, as great as which a Starbuck you saw was real.
One oppose which doesn't have anything to do with a culmination itself: you cant contend you was thrilled with a promotional tagline upon Scifi.com for a final partial of a season. It said, Who have been a final 5 Cylons? Find out upon a Battlestar Galactica deteriorate finale.
By my count, you met 4 Cylons in a finale. Not five. So have been you to understand which Kara is a Cylon? My conjecture is not unequivocally disposition in which direction. But a kind of a drag which a tagline could be review as heading us to consider which she is a fifth Cylon, when she might be something else.
I lend towards to consider Karas something alternative than usually a garden-variety Cylon. But you could be wrong.
In any case, Im wondering if fans have been starting to be mad about which tagline. We didnt have a fifth person clearly identified as a Cylon, so unless Im blank something, a tagline was wrong.
Another bit of conjecture -- did anyone else notice how Laura Roslin became a little ill when a swift arrived during their destination, usually prior to a energy went out? They didn't uncover which she heard a music, as great as she didn't allude to any lines from Dylan's inimitable song, yet you suspicion there were a couple of clues here as great as there which she might be a fifth Cylon. She was in which weird opera house scene with Six as great as Athena as great as Hera, for a single thing. That's got to meant something, yet it might not meant Roslin's a Cylon. (Critic Alan Sepinwall has a little engaging analysis upon Roslin as great as alternative culmination matters here.)
One speculation during Sepinwall's site: What if those 4 aren't Cylons, as great as there's a third party during work? Yikes. We're in low waters here. But that's where "Battlestar" does a thing best.
Finally, you have to contend which Bear McCreary, who does a shows terrific music, did a great pursuit of incorporating All Along a Watchtower in to a final episode. This was a risky pierce which could have been unequivocally cheesy -- yet it wasnt, interjection to a skill of McCreary (and Battlestars editors, who did a great pursuit of creation which final set of scenes, when a 4 characters realize they're Cylons, compelling).
One oppose about a music -- you wouldn't have picked a vocalist which was selected tosing a strain in a closing moments. He reminded me of a man whosang a "Star Trek: Enterprise" thesis song, a thesis you never reallyliked -- possibly version.
In any case, what does it meant which a strain which is recognizable from our own, stream Earth era was used in which episode? An partial in which a humans might have essentially found a approach to Earth? Very suggestive, no? you suspicion it was.
Here's what McCreary said, in part, upon his blog regarding a use of "All Along a Watchtower":
"[T]he suspicion was not which Bob Dylan indispensably exists in a characters' universe, yet which an artist upon a single of a colonies might have available a strain with a expect same tune as great as lyrics. Perhaps this different performer as great as Dylan pulled inspiration from a common, fragile source. Therefore, you was told to have no low-pitched references to any 'Earthly' versions, Hendrix, Dylan or any others. The arrangement needed to sound similar to a cocktail strain which belonged in a Galactica universe, not our own."
(McCreary adds which his chronicle of "All Along a Watchtower" will come out in August, upon a Season 3 soundtrack CD. One final digression, there's a new Salon talk with Ron Moore here.)
The initial time you watched a final two episodes of a season, you saw them both together, as great as saying Baltar's hearing all during once unequivocally amplified a impact. On Sunday, you watched a culmination for a second time, as great as you enjoyed it again, even yet you knew what would happen. you did notice a little snippets "All Along a Watchtower's" lyrics in a initial half of a culmination script which you hadn't noticed before.
There might have been a little uneven moments this season, yet as Matt Roush pronounced upon his site Friday, you can take an off partial here as great as there upon any array as prolonged as it ultimately delivers, as great as to me, 'Battlestar' does. Amen.
So, was it a reason to get excited? Too most confusion? Cant get no relief? Share your thoughts here.
UPDATE: There's another very great talk with Ron Moore here, in it he talks about a deteriorate culmination as great as what it means for a fourth season. He also says Katee Sackhoff is sealed for Season 4 as great as says which a little Cylons have been "fundamentally different." Hmmm. Anyway, review Pittsburgh Post-Gazette censor Rob Owen's entire talk with Moore here.
