Now THAT'S a finale! Very exciting, minus the bullshit religious stuff. I've never liked that little subplot. I'm kind of interested in D'Anna's little visions of heaven or God or whatever she's seeing when she's dying, but I have no interest whatsoever in deciphering the Bible to find clues to Earth, like some kind of crazy alternate universe Da Vinci Code. Other than that, I loved this episode.

When Kara and Lee kissed, I thought, "Finally." Now they can do each other and stop bitching about everything. Unfortunately, that wasn't meant to be, and we're stuck with the stupid tension between the foursome. Although I love it that Anders and Duala are acting like total dicks to Apollo and Starbuck. Those two deserve it.

I felt so bad for Roslin during the Camp David summit with the Cylons and Baltar. She didn't seem mad at him; she just seemed so disappointed. She always put the most trust in him, even when others didn't, and she constantly tries to see the good in people, and it was terrible seeing how sad she was. But then again, it was also really sad seeing how sad Baltar was over the fact that Roslin is so sad. It was just a sad little convention that depressed the shit out of me.

Predictions for the second half of the season: Chief deciphers the clues in the temple in time, but he still has to destroy the place so the Cylons can't get to it. Adama doesn't nuke the ground, obviously, but he bombs the shit out of the Cylon baseships, destroying at least one. Obviously not the main one with Baltar and pals. This starts a mini little war. Somehow everyone gets back on Galactica, they jump the hell out of there, and resume the search for Earth, one step ahead of the Cylons. Also, something happens with baby Hera that I don't really care about.

One last thing: Did anyone notice the extras in this episode? Right off the bat when they showed everyone working on the planet, I was in shock at how beautiful the women were. It was like they boarded the civilian ships and said, "We need all strong men and large-breasted women to come with us." There was one in particular with a nice set of knockers that - not that I'm a pig or anything, but I couldn't keep my eyes off of them! She totally ruined every scene she was in, because I didn't care about the rest of the action. She first appeared in the first scene on the planet, and she must have caught someone's attention, because the camera actually follows her breasts for a while, too, before going back to the main characters. Faced with the decision to film some boring stuff with stupid actors, or a nice set of Perfect 10 bazongas, the camera man certainly made his choice. And I don't know which producer she was sleeping with, but she was everywhere in the episode! When Anders came in to consult with Kara and Lee, there she was! She even got a name at the end of the episode, but I'll be damned if I caught it. Point is, she has a magnificent pair of jubblies.

Yeah, I was on the edge of my seat. I hope they launch the frackin' nukes.

Is anyone else hoping Starbuck doesn't make it out alive? I can't stand that character. I liked how Anders insinuated to Lee that Kara is a little slut and gets her groove on with lots of guys so Lee shouldn't feel special.

I noticed one women popping up a lot but I had seen her on this show before. I didn't, however, notice these giant honkers you speak of. Is this the well-endowed woman you speak of?

I'm a little fuzzy on the details of Jupiter's Eye and all the other mumbo jumbo about the prophecy, which is weird because I'm usually into that kind of crap. I'll have to see if I can find a website that explains it all.

I was a little shocked when I saw Hera. I didn't realize so much time had passed. But I guess if it was long enough for Starbuck to "grow" a really hideous head of hair, it was long enough for baby Hera to start walking.

What do you guys think about the move to Sundays? Better? Worse? I don't think I care, except that now I'll have to record it. Big whoop.

Yep, that's her. Apparently she's been in five episodes and the webisodes. I just never noticed her until the camera trailed her for a little bit.

I was shocked at Hera, too. It doesn't make much since because even though a year had passed, she still looked like a baby when D'Anna picked her up on New Caprica. And not much time has passed since the exodus, has it? At least, not enough for her to have hair below her ears and be a toddler already. That's very strange.

I never really care about shows changing their time slots. As long as they're still on the air, it doesn't bother me. Just means I can either watch it live or just tape it and watch it later.

Is anyone else hoping Baltar isn't one of the five Cylons? That just seems like such an easy out for him, and all the great character development he's gone through will all be for naught.

Yeah, I would hate to see Baltar as a Cylon. I'm not sure what character development you're seeing, but I do agree it would be an easy out for him (and the writers).

Hey! Wouldn't it be fun if Starbuck does die in that crash... but then you see her being reborn as a Cylon?!? I mean, I know it's not gonna happen (fans would be outraged, I'm sure) but I'd love to see Lee and Adama's reaction knowing how close Kara got to the three of them. :glee:

I just mean all the internal conflict over whether or not he's a traitor or if he sacrificed himself to save the rest of the fleet, and the fact that he's still undecided as to who he's loyal to, or where he even belongs. To have that all thrown out the window in one grand, "Alright, you're a Cylon so you belong with us and you're a hero," would be terrible.

And as for Kara being a Cylon? That would trigger such a massive suicide domino effect on Galactica. Everyone would be so pissed. I'd love that. She'd probably be pretty pissed, too.

Kara a Cylon? I had never even thought of that, but that would be awesome. Don't think so though, cuz that creepy Cylon dude was trying to make her love him so they could breed, right?

And the Miracle Grow baby might have Days of Our Lives Disease, where you go through puberty at two.

This show is so killer, I don't care about the move to Sundays. I watch it on ITunes and Bit torrents because I like it more as a movie.

Why is Baltar always crying? Why is this show never nominated for anything? And why is Lucy Lawless only contracted for ten eps this season? I love that bitch and can't bear the thought of her absence. The addiction to suicide storyline has made me start cutting myself less. LOVE YOU XENA!

I must be the only one that wasnt really happy with season 3, accept for whole trial of Balter, but I do have to admit that the season finale was good. I just hope Starbuck is not a Cylon, just wouldnt feel right. Not sure Roslyn is one, unless shes program to say shes got cancer. A cool shot of the Earth at the end was nice.
