Battlestar Galactica: Final Season

You want the plotholes explained? That’s ridiculous.

Well, I was enjoying the ride, and am not necessarily expecting them to reach earth at the end. However I do expect some resolution and answers about all the questions and motivations that they keep getting put off. eg How does Baltar survive the nuclear blast at his lake house. Why he sees Six the whole time. Why the cylons seem to be herding them along…etc

We’re all still waiting for those answers too. Let us know if you find them.

Well, I’ll concede that the blast is a plothole, but I do expect some kind of explanations for Baltar’s & Six’s apparent hallucinations… beyond the vague “its love” explanation that has been presented till now.

Noooo! That’s pretty disappointing…

You totally get an explanation for this… Unfortunately I dont think anyone here liked the explanation.

The music episode near the end of S4 was one of my favorite BSG episodes.

Hugin · 2009-08-03T09:09:55.000Z

I don’t understand why people are so hung up on Baltar surviving the blast. Things (and people) do survive nuclear detonations and the thing didn’t explode right over his house. I mean, yes, it was lucky, in terms of the luck any permanent cast member has on an adventure show, but it didn’t break the laws of physics or anything.

Don’t listen to the haters, it’s a good show, and I actually liked the ending.

You’ll get an explanation that’s both more concrete and worse than you could have possibly expected.

Honestly, looking back, that is precisely when I wish I would have stopped watching. YMMV and all that, but the last couple of seasons were a complete waste of time for me.

Beyond the end end part of the final episode, you have to admit the battle at the beginning was a pretty good “gratuitous space battle”.

Eh, not really. I always called her “Head” Six instead of “Chip” Six because I suspected the Ship of Light angels from the original series would show up in the remake sooner or later, and visions that provided guidance/knowledge/comfort were a prime candidate. When Caprica started having Baltar visions, that possibility increased enormously. The explanation was both concrete and pretty much exactly what I expected.

Nawid_A · 2009-08-03T13:27:45.000Z

I believe all four seasons are worth it and the fourth season is an improvement over the third.

Better to stop watching after the Pegasus in season 2 IMO. Everything after this is inferior, and you miss Black Market!

No way. For example, doing that would also miss the rescue episode where Galactica jumps into the atmosphere and launches Vipers while plummeting to earth, an awesome fist-pump moment. Season 3, which I agree is the weakest, still has some great stuff.

Quitch · 2009-08-03T14:00:43.000Z

Between the end of the Pegasus arc in season 2 and the episode you mention in season 3, name one good episode.

Everything but Black Market and Scar.

The worst episodes of BSG are twice as good as an average episode of most any other hour-long drama. So keep watching.

That depends what you mean by “most”. Sure, it’s better than the average episode of, say, Medium or Stargate: Whatever. But on average, I don’t think BSG is better than Lost, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, etc. etc.

While still not as good as just not watching television at all.
