Sunday ramblings...

Okay, I'm going to blather on a bit here about Battlestar Galactica, so if you don't want to be *spoiled,* look away now!

Now, I say!

Okay, I just finished watching the season 3 finale, and my quick thoughts are that it was very good, with a very stupid part at the end.

The doofy part is the All Along the Watchtower quotes, although I did like the Indian influenced music at the end...

Now, are Tighe, Sam, the Chief, and the President's aid really Cylons. Methinks not. Why would an Earth song trigger their Cylon pieces to come alive?

Could it be that they're plants from Earth itself, infiltrating the Colonies? That could be interesting, if "humanity" on Earth has Cylons of their own, or if these people are just real people, planted with some psychological trigger to reanimate their memories.

Although, it's just a song, and it brought them all together. It doesn't appear to have triggered any real mission in them, although the Chief did seem like the one most willing to accept his Cylon-nature.

But, wouldn't that make his kid special? Like Hera?

And, there were only four of them called to that room. There's still one Cylon model missing, if they really are Cylons. Who could it be? The Pres? Baltar? Starbuck? That lawyer guy? This stuff did all start when he had that cane, and he left it behind on the ship, showing that it was just a prop all along...

It's interesting seeing the Baltar groupies make their reappearance. He'll have friends to keep him alive now. It was great to see his character not change one whit from what he went through. Still the same self involved Baltar. Everyone loves Baltar!

More thoughts on this as I have them...

Once I recognized the sequence of words as lyrics, with that series of cuts between Tighe, Anders, Tyrol, and the aide, speaking them, I was crazily hoping for some f'd up swelling of music to cue the transition of the show into a musical finale.

I still haven't figured out how happy/unhappy I am with this season finale. I *know* I was WAY unhappy with the message about continuing in 2008! I liked the trial. I liked Apollo's pseudo-testimony. I enjoyed the lawyer's character/participation/mediation in the last few episodes. Like you, I *love* Baltar's unflappable Baltitude. I like the notion of connecting BSG's continuity with real-world Earth somehow, which is the only thing I can believe the Dylan lyrics signify.

Besides a $hitty tongue-in-cheek confession from the writers that they don't know what they're doing, of course...
