They didn't shoot cavil because they were totally outnumbered, him calling off the centurions and the raiders gave them the time they needed to live.

[cinemafan24]

oh wow yeah I remember that. I remember thinking why don't they shoot them and then I saw that they were surrounded but had forgotten about that part. Thanks for clearing that up!

All the flashbacks were utterly boring and added nothing to the mythos. Except for Baltar and Six, that is. When he says "I know a little about farming" I seriously teared-up. So touching and heartfelt, reminded me of when Kevin Costner plays catch with his dad at the end of Field of Dreams.

Tyrol went to Scotland, invented the kilt and became King of the Scots!!!

[cinemafan24]

Yeah I agree the farming line was just incredible. Its the moment that pleasantly surprised me the most in the finale.

Tyrol in Scotland is a hilarious concept!

it forces her into a political campaign

I love how you say that you want to marry Baltar :)

[ZITremedy664]

yeah baltar did knowing let her have access. in the miniseries they are talking about it, and then she drops the bomb with announcing she's a cylon =) easy to forget, its a loooong way back lol

I just think that the Rosiln Flashback was so random. What is the relevance of know about her sleeping with a former student.

I wish instead of 150000 years ago, they had said 10000 years ago and founded Atlantis. It would have fit everything into place so much neater than before, all of the basis of our culture was passed down. Instead, they used some sort of genetic memory/spiritual consciousness?

My problem with Kara was that it wasn't like she had died in an accident or anything, she had a vision telling her she had to die and learn from the other side. Then she comes back and has no memory of being dead?

I felt the same way about his speech and I agree that they wouldn't just fly all the ships into the sun. What happens if the centurions decide to come back immediately and wipe out everyone? I didn't feel a lot of emotion when Adama was in the viper, but I did when he left with Lara in the raptor. I thought he would fly it into the sun right behind Galactica when she died. You could tell the writers wanted to end it on a positive and I'm ok with that.
