I have to say, I've never seen Adama smile so much.

Almost done, now. Galactica is about to go dark and 35,000 humans and God knows how many cylons are about to go to their final resting place, one way or another.

They've just three hours left


To tell us

-What in the world is up with Kara Thrace
-Who/what/why is head 6
-How the Cylons can be fruitful and multiply
-What the hell was that disease-infested bouy for
-Where Boxy got off to

To kill

-Roslin, because you can't weasel out of cancer even if does turn out the ship is the dying leader
-Baltar, not because Jesus had to be crucified, but because the more people change, the more they stay the same
-Ellen, because being dead makes it so much easier for people to think well of you
-Cally, because once...was not enough
-Boomer, because twice...was not enough

To show us

-God
-The Casino Planet
-13 [14? 15? 16?]
-Home
-The Biggest Boom of All



Honestly, I think that after the Colony falls victim to Adama's patent-pending-rectconned-FTL-shockwave-maneuver and Al makes the leap home everyone just settles down to toke it up on Kobol.

Either that or everyone dies, or some last remnant of one faction or another goes sailing off like the wicked witch of the west to all-of-this-has-happened-before-all-of-this-will-happen-again,


or it turns out that 6 was 1 all along.

A couple of things caught me off guard:

The fact that the opera house dream was a prophecy of bad timing and minor inconvenience.

The fact that Earth is where ever we say it is.

The fact that not nearly as many people died as I assumed would. I'm so happy for all the ones that did, though.

Anything involving Racetrack.

The fact that the best way to forsake all technology is to start making tools, planting crops and building houses.

The fact that Saul Tigh just could not stop yelling.

The Full and Satisfying Explanation of the Nature of one Unique Individual: Kara Thrace didn't throw me off though. They've been trying, just desperately trying, to keep us all off balance when it comes to her these past couple of years and a bull can buck as much as they want but they can't throw me off if I'm not trying to ride.


But

where oh where was Boxey?

I'm mixed emotions about this. The last couple of seasons have been really haphazard, and writers all over the map trying to write themselves a coherent story.

Who first told everyone there were '12' models? How did we know this to be the case? How did the cylons know this but not know who the final five were?

If the cylons didn't know the final five how did Cavil (Dean Stockwell) resurrect them and put them in the colonies like he and Helen talked about a few weeks ago?

Where did they resurrect anyway?

How did they final five come to be without memories of their former selves?

If the 'final five' were in fact who they were, why wouldn't they have suffered radiation effects at munitions station, Anchorage inside the nebula at the beginning of this series?

How do they leave Kara Thrace's corpse unexplained?

Why do they love take characters and break them out of their mold so horribly, horribly wrong that I can't see past the discontinuity? Examples: Tigh banging Caprica (and loving her!); Starbuck's phase of hating being married to Anders to suddenly, being completely unable to be without him?


As endings go...I felt it was very satisifying, in large part because of the anti-climatic nature of it all.

Two things will follow:

1) The Plan, a made for TV movie prequel, wherein we will see how good it is or isn't to be on the long end of the stick (of genocide).

2) Caprica, a spin-off that even I am completely unenthused about.



I'd rather talk about Dollhouse than Caprica. We're probably going to have more cameos from BSG alums in Dollhouse anyways, and it's a show that will lend itself to the same fun game of guess-the-Cylon. Tell me the truth, is Eliza Dushku a bad actress?

I can't be objective about this, I've been in love with her since I was 17. But I have no idea why anymore. I know she makes many terrible decisions, if she actually has the power of choice in where she works.


That's a bit of a non sequitur here as I am mostly unopposed to Dollhouse, though I think that Special Agent Ballard is so very far from the best and the brightest he is probably secretly a doll.

I called Mellie as a doll the minute I saw her waiting for Ballard barefoot and awkward with freshly cooked lasagna, but did you know that Topher is also a doll? Also Adelle. But Special Agent Tanaka isn't; he's the guy who will reluctantly start a real investigation when he comes to realize that Ballard is too incompetant to not be hollow on the inside.

These revelations will happen towards the end of the imaginary third season, after Echo is recaptured by the Dollhouse in the fictional second season.

In the fith season we'll meet Jarod and he, Alpha and the newly composited Sierra will go on a rampage across the nation, haphazardly righting wrongs and giving villains their poetic come-uppance. This will be after Fox has killed off Echo and canned Joss Whedon for whining.

Well, Tricia Helfer certainly isn't hurting for work.

BURN NOTICE SPOILERS AHEAD.



After they killed her off at the end of the second season of Burn Notice, she's going to appear on the upcoming episode of Chuck, but I have no idea how long her character's arc will be. She's also set to play a main role in a series for FOX called Inseparable, created by the guy responsible for Invasion and American Gothic. Inseparable is a modern-day Jekyll and Hyde tale about Justin/Clyde (Lloyd Owen), a partially paralyzed police officer with a split personality whose alter ego is a charismatic criminal (sup Dexter). Tricia will play Rae Wicks, a psychiatrist working for the police department.

Jekyll and Hyde...Justin and Clyde. I see what they did there.
