That was a great episode. And poor Anders, after what Starbuck said to him about putting a bullet through his head!

fraking epic opening.
Yes it was!
Well worth the wait, and I am just about to WATCH IT AGAIN!!
Episode 2 of Season 4 *spoilers*
I guess the Cylons don't have irony programmed into them, seeing as how they want to do to the now sentient Raiders that the humans tried to do on the first sentient Cylons... are we going to have a machine slave rebelion against machine overlords? sweeet
Oh and now a Head Baltar for Baltar? LOL, hopefully they won't be as close as Head Six is to Baltar...
*end spoilers*
Its good
*SPOILERS ZOMG*
Begun the Cylon Civil War has.. holy frak, this is my favorite episode EVER. So many revelations and pure awesomeness. I <3 the last season
To summarize how I feel about this episode: I came several times during its airing because of its awesomeness.
Tonight's episode, Faith, is just O.O
frak...
SPOILERZ
I dont know why they just dont call it a season finale instead of the "summer finale", we have to wait til 2009 for the final episodes! All in all, I really reallly enjoyed season 4.0 of Battlestar Galacitca. There were lots of twists and turns, and lots of Revelations. But I mean, due to the depressing nature of the show I totally expected Earth to be destroyed/barren wasteland... which it was as it was revealed in the finale. Tory embracing her Cylon nature is good, I'm ready for some more evil Cylons besides Cavil. I'm looking forward to some confrontations between Tigh and the Adamas, as well as the reveal of what really happened to Starbuck, who/what the "head" people are, and of course the final Cylon! So yeah, just gotta wait til 2009 now -_-
PS The final Cylon is totally going to be Tigh's wife, or Billy :p
Wait wait.
13 episodes in the final season, right?
The 10th ep is the one that ended at Earth, right?
And they want us to wait until next year to watch the last three?
I think we just got CapOned.
Wow, people completely forgot about this topic, I know there is still an MxO following to BSG as I have discussions about it on X-fire regularly :p
3 episodes left, well... 2 really if you count the 2 hour series finale. I've been quite impressed with the final episodes, I know some people haven't like them because of the new direction but they are probably the same people who hated Reloaded and Revolutions :p From the previews (especially the Canadian version) the next episode tomorow night "Islanded on a Stream of Stars" looks pretty fantastic Can't wait.

And Anders does have a bullet in his head >> Forshadow much? :p
Oh and I was right about the Final Cylon being Mrs. Ellen Tigh ^_^
And plot summary for those that just want to watch the final episodes:
They made it to a planet called Earth, which was destroyed. Starbuck finds her own dead body there... uh ohs. They found bones and Cylon Centurians... turns out the 13th tribe that fled to Earth were Cylons, and did so because they destroyed Kobol after their own uprising. Then they built their own robot Centurians which turned on them and wiped out the Cylons on Earth save for the Final Five: Tigh, Tory, Anders, Galen, and Ellen. The Final Five travel for 2,000 years to reach the 12 human colonies to warn them about creating AI and to treat it kindly, but they arrive too late and humanity is already at war with their own Cylons. The Final Five tell the Machine Cylons that they will help them create the Skin Jobs if they go to peace with humans. This works for a time, and they create Seven models. Model number 1, Cavil/John, turns on the Final Five killing them and their favorite creation, number 7/Daniel, and decides to wipe the memories of the final five and gradually integrate them into human society until their destruction to show them how evil/bad humans are. Plan backfires when the final five miracuously survive the destruction of the 12 colonies, etc etc watch the series. Now, Gaeta led a mutiny along with Tom Zarek who murdered the Quorum and tried to kill Adama and Tigh as well as their new Cylon Rebel allies. The mutiny failed, but at the cost of many of Galactica's crew. Then they discover that the Galactica is dieing as it has not had repairs in a Dry Dock for years, and is coming apart at its seams, after some hesitation Adama allows Cylons to come aboard Galactica and spread some living tissue on Galactica's bones to make it stronger...
THEEEEEEEEEN, Boomer arrives with Ellen after helping her escape from Cavil who wanted to rip her brains out in order to learn the secrets of Resurection technology, then after returning Ellen murders the pregnant Caprica Six's baby because Tigh got her knocked up. She murders the baby by making Six feel unloved, because apparently, Cylons need love and to be loved to become pregnant and keep their babies... how sweet. Boomer is put into the brig, but the Cylons want to transfer her to their Basestar to try her for treason. Meanwhile, Starbuck starts to a friendship with a piano player, and they become very close. Hera gives Starbuck a drawing, which come out to be music notes. The piano player and Starbuck play the notes, and it turns out to be "All Along the Watch Tower" which activated the Final Five. Starbuck realizes the piano player is her dad, and Tigh walks up all freaked out and Starbuck's dad and his music sheets disappear... he's most likely one of the "head people". Meanwhile... Galen helps Boomer escape because he still loves her, but then Boomer KO's Athena, bangs Helo, then kidnap's Helo and Athena's child Hera, and then jumps in a raptor right next to Galactica's hull and causes a giant gash in the side of the ship. And that leads us tomorow :p
