Huh, I had assumed she wasn't really pregnant and had used the black chick's ultrasound to keep from getting offed. I suppose it's still possible that she pays the Alanis character to keep up the ruse, but if she really is I guess it's at least semi interesting. I can only hope so because Season 4 did not live up to the rest.

I just recently caught all of Breaking Bad thanks to a marathon on AMC. I must say it was every bit as good as I had hoped. I think it's actually quite better than Mad Men. I just hope this season doesn't play out as predictably as it seems to be headed.

Well it's settled then. Your collective Jesus wisdom has ttly pwnd me. Woe is me.

You sure showed me big man.

The Bible is better source material than The Watchmen? LMAO! The Bible is a hodgepodge of fairy tales thrown together by dozens of authors and re-edited over hundreds of years. Watchmen is a single man's vision fleshed out with little to no compromise.
Religion aside, I really hope that was a joke that didn't come across. Unless of course you meant that it's better in the sense that it lends itself better to filming because it was tailor made to be violent, masturbatory, and simple; just what the masses will happily pay to watch/read.

A lot of bad judgments made in the ratings in general. As others stated many are not even really trilogies, and most are studio garbage to begin with.
Even so, how can ANYONE think that Terminator 2 which ruined a great villain and spawned an abortion of a franchise was better than the classic Terminator.

I assume LOTR are all at the same because they were filmed at the same time?

I certainly hope not. "Advanced Alien Race" is essentially the same as god or fate. It's an unexplained higher power that just appears and explains everything. A dues ex machina of the highest order. What makes it so easy to connect in a genuine way to the world and characters of BSG is because generally you can be sure that you are learning everything at the same rate as the people you're watching, and when info is being withheld you are usually made aware of the fact.

"How did the Colonies Cylons know about the "Final Five" cylons whom they'd never met?"

This is the one question I have been worried about for some time. I've been wondering since they were first mentioned how 5 models of cylons would be made and placed in human ranks without the other 7 models knowing who they were. Now that we know the 5 are actually from an older race of cylons it appears the only way to explain the 7 knowing about them is through a higher power, be it a god or fate mechanism. Now obviously the writers may have thought of something I didn't, and I hope so, I just hope they don't take the easy way and use that as the explanation. BSG has usually been wise enough to know that the easy way is usually the least effective storytelling, and I would hate to see its legacy tarnished by such a poor choice at the end.

I definitely agree with the amazing impact taking Earth out of the equation has. It was a move that I think most fans expected, but it was definitely the right one. No where was this game changer more realized than with Dee, I feel much the same about her, and am sad to see her go, even though it made for a great end to her story. I would disagree with you though about her dying happy. When Lee says he saw joy in her eyes, I believe it was just a desperate grasp by both of them toward anything that resembles happiness, but they both knew it wasn't real, and that's why she goes out like that. She takes what passes for happiness and ends things before it can fade again.
I am actually very disappointed in Starbuck's revelation though. I don't really see where it can go, which I guess is supposed to be the fun of it, but it's really felt gimmicky to me ever since her incarceration on New Caprica.
As for Ellen as the final cylon, it was another reveal that was sort of anticipated, and I'm a little disappointed Moore didn't have something more surprising or relevant to do with the final cylon. I never really liked Ellen as a character, she was more just an accessory to Saul (my favorite character). I don't feel like this adds anything relevant, but who knows. Maybe Moore still has an angle to work there.
My only major complaint about the episode is Roslin. She's been a whiny stubborn bitch the entire series, and now she's added petulant sulky little crybaby to her repertoire. I really don't see what Adama can see in her.
Overall though, this episode stands up to high quality I've come to expect from BSG, and I still consider it the best show on tv. The Earth resident being cylons was an awesome reveal, and I can't wait to watch Adama hold the fleet together after this.
