DON'T Read if you haven't seen the final episode. I don't want to influence your watching it..
--------------------
It's finished. But wait there's more -- another two hour episode??!!!
BSG is the best sci-fi show ever. The final episode is deep!!!
I totally dig it that they played the musical theme from the old BSG towards the end!

OK DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEE NTHE LAST EPISODE!!!!!
Ok, so my question is this.....The "astro projections" of six and baltar...angels?...Demons?.....or both?
And I guess we know now that Kara was an "angel" right?...I'm still confused...but only a little. I wish it did a little more wrapping up on the characters though..
Here's something else.....Chief (Galen) goes off to be by himself on an "Island" that is cold and in the highlands......could this be the region that would become known as "Tyrol".....Hmmmmmmmm Something to think about....ok I may be reading WAAY too much into it...
So long old friend......

I gotta say, I really liked the ending...mostly. I agree Meinf - loved the original theme music as the ships head off into the sun. And Chad, I had the same question about the projections...plus Baltar's line, "You know he doesn't like being called that"....hmmmm.
I'm not overly happy with the whole Starbuck arc - being an angel is kinda like wimping out. But I loved how the translation of the music into the numbers was the coordinates for a funny little planet called...Earth.

Athena on Boomer -- poetic justice!! Boomer did pay Adama back when he needed it most -- making it easy at the very end.
Galen on Tori --- I didn't see that coming! In parallel to Ellen and Tigh.
Yeah - Starbuck arc was sort of a wimp out --- BUT, still consistent with the whole story of God/Gods/Angels. Although would it have been less of a wimp out if there was another resurrection machine and other cylons elsewhere that caused Starbuck to get resurrected? That line to me would be consistent. Because in the end (in this cycle at least), Cavil and the cylons**; and the freed cylons/centurions are still out there and if the theme holds - it's happened before and it will happen again. They go their separate ways and perhaps evolve differently and intersect again.
What's so profound to me was the idea that something/somebody is playing with all their lives and destinies. [Not unlike the Bad Wolf in Doctor Who. I love that concept. Not unlike The Matrix either]
There's a quite a few unanswered questions still...
** Although they may have perished near the black hole...

Good questions, guys!
Yes, there are still many unanswered questions!
I'm thinking the new version of Kara Thrace "Starbuck" is a new/different being from what we are seeing in the Gauis Baltar/Six angel/spiritual projection beings. Remember everyone was seeing her. She just mysteriously moved on/disappeared from Lee Adama.
Didi I hear right with the trailer there is a new BSG show coming out this fall from the Cylons point of view?

I believe there is either a 2-hour movie, or maybe a mini-series, that does provide the cylon view. Not sure if it is a full season/series kind of thing.
Also, do you see the trailer for Caprica? DVD and digital download coming in April.
