Some major spoilers on the season finale ahead.

I actually loved the finale. The style of the episode seemed a bit different, but, I liked it. The song actually got stuck in my head. Guess I'm a Cylon. I'm still not positive on Anders and Co. being Cylons. Maybe there is a different explanation behind the radio. However, it makes sense if they are Cylons. Also, I really loved that moment where Tigh walks through the door at the end and just goes "Whoa". Anyways, Lee's speech was very moving (to me) as well. I had a gut feeling that Baltar was going to get off, but, I was still very suprised by the whole thing. I didn't expect Adama to vote not guilty. Also, Starbuck's appearance at the end seems a bit suspicious. I think she's just a vision. But, who knows. Gods dammit, I can't wait for 2008. Luckily, we'll be getting that movie first.


I haven't been on STV in a while but I just read your quite La Forge and I do have to say that I loved the finale as well! So far the last few episodes were really good. And I loved the episode "Taking A Break From All Your Worries." That was up there with "Precipice," "Exodus," and "Collaborators." I can't believe they won't be back until 2008. However they added more episodes past the 13 they had planned. There has also been some rumors and hints from Jamie Bamber who plays Apollo and Ron Moore that season 4 might possibly be the last season. I never wanted to show to go on too long without good writing, but unless they go over everything by the end of season 4, I hope at least they go up to season 5. But yeah, the season finale definitely had much to think about. Does anyone remember the 2nd episode of season 2 called "Valley of Darkness?" If you don't, watch it again and you'll see what I'm talking about. From the finale, it looks like they're going in the direction of the beginning of the 2nd season.

OK.... So in the first part of the miniseries, when the old KAG is giving instructions to the Viper pilots regarding the retirement ceremony for Commander Adama, and Starbuck is in the brig because she hit Tigh, the KAG states that "Lieutenant Thrace will be replaced by Mr. Anders."

Anders? Is this a mistake, coincidence, or was there another copy of Anders that was destroyed in the original Cylon attacks?

I read someplace, Can't remember where, that season four will be the last, . I never followed the show, but its to bad to here. Also, there will be 22 episodes starting in 2008 (Wow, thats a long wait) however, at some point this year (Novemberish I think? Dunno...) there will be a two hour episode set during the show's second season. Interesting....

For one, yes, there are rumors that Season 4 may be the last. Sad, yes, but, I can see the reasons behind it. RDM stated that he doesn't want BSG to drag on so long that the story is simply repeating itself. While, personally, I think five seasons would be perfect (like with B5), if they end it with Sesaon 4, it'll be alright.

And, yeah, that is a long wait ('til 2008). Yeah, there will be a 2 hour DVD movie (which will also be aired as a two-parter episode) that is set aboard the Battlestar Pegasus (from Season 2). However, events from the movie will effect the show and I believe that some of the movie takes place in the story's present as well.

i wish the season 4 of Lost would also be the last. I don't think its bad to let a show end after 4 seasons, if it was planned. Sure, STar Trek: Enterprise stopped at 4 seasons too but with a horrible last episode.

If they end BSG well, i would cherish it forever. If only they did that with all shows.

it's true that 4 will be last (sayth the actors and entertainment weekly). I think it's alright though, i'd hate to have it drag and end up like crappily-dragged-on-way-too-far stuff like the X-Files or 7th Heaven and such.

I'm very much looking forward to season 4. PLus... BSG had a miniseries. that kind of counts as a season...

Never have, never will like B.G., so... yeah.
I like some of the actors... just not the show.

No. He was a big sports player. People would have seen if there were too of them. Remember all the humanoid models were under the radar to the Colonials.

I recently discovered the show... and I love it so much. I've watched the whole series over the summer, I'm looking forward to season 4! Also... the Pegasus thing they're doing next month should be interesting, stories about Lee, mostly. I wasn't big on the Pegasus as a part of the show, though, so I'm not sure I'll watch it.

Ok I haven't been on here in months. I think I kind of took a break from forums but I thought I would check the site out again since I was the one who started this topic lol.

So with the writer's strike it's becoming more real that they might split up the 4th season and have the first 10 episodes or so air this April 2008 (TOO LONG OF A WAIT) and then the 2nd half of the season air again in 2009? Which I think is stupid because I wanna see the end of the show. As for Razor I thought it was awesome. I got to see it in a theater when they did a special screening weeks before the air date. It was cool to see it in the big screen. I went with a bunch of friends who all watch the show of course and it was awesome to be in a place with a lot of BSG fans. I own it on DVD now. When I went to Comic Con over the summer and sat in the BSG panel with Mary McDonald, Tricia Helfer, Katee Sackhoff, and Lucy Lawless, it was very cool to hear them talk about the show and even though that also had a lot of BSG fans in there, some were in the room waiting for another panel. But it was awesome still. I can't wait for season 4!

Why do they make the episodes so far ahead of when they air them? I'm sure the strike will have ended with more than enough time for them to just whip up the rest of the episodes before they're supposed to air

Well I also heard that they were thinking about splitting up the season before the writer's strike started. Like a few months before it started. I guess Scifi channel had been pushing for it for some stupid reason. And then of course with the upcoming writer's strike, that's even more of an excuse to do it. However I don't know how long this strike will last, especially since I read that the 1st one in the 80's lasted for 5 months. I know Ron D. Moore is on strike too. He said so far they've only shot 10 episodes and who knows if they'll show more than that or not when the show starts. I hope the strike ends soon and that scifi doesn't do the split because I don't wanna wait longer just to finish the last season.

So.... I totally saw that coming. Although I'm kind of glad because I was nervous that that was the finale or something,
