BSG: Anyone else watching?

I was wondering if I'm the only one here who's basically counting down the hours 'till Friday 9 EST, when the Battlestar Galactica Series finale is slated to air.

So, am I the only one? Anyone else here readying RDM voodoo dolls biting their nails in anticipation of the (most likely heartwrenching) finale?

Anyone? Bueller?

Bueller here! Oh, I am most definitely sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting til Friday! I just can't believe that they are going to tie up everything in 1 episode. Is it a 2-hour finale, do you know? I couldn't believe that last week's episode had flashbacks (not that I didn't like it). It's just, why are we getting the past when there are SO many questions to answer in the present? But I am thoroughly enjoying.

Do you think Starbuck is a hybrid? That's what my hubby and I think.

Yay, I'm not alone!

It is a 2 hour finale, starting at 9, mind you. I don't think that they are going to tie everything up in the finale, even if it is two-hours long. A few things, Ron has said, will be left ambiguous. Now, he also mentioned that the most pressing questions will be answered in the finale (don't ask me how *gah!*) so, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Hee! I hear you on the flashbacks. I didn't mind them though. I mean, *sigh* I like that we're getting a sense of "return" now, at the end of the run, because as TPTB have repeatedly beat us over the head with, "All this has happened before, and it will happen again". So I'm good with the flashbacks. And they did provide some answers, even if not to our more pressing quesitons (why was Baltar so trusting of Six? How did Laura become so adept at handling tragedy? How did Starbuck/Apollo began their thoroughly insane relationship?).

Dude! Starbuck is sooo Daniel's daughter, is not even funny. At least, that's where my money's at. That's one question Moore and Co. better not leave unanswered.

I have no idea how I'm going to sit still through the final two hours of this show. The last episode had me at the brink of tears and I fear these final ones might just push me over.

I never watched it, but I saw a special on the SciFi channel about making the finale - kinda made me wish I had! Looks like it's been really good.

Joins the club.

Sits in the circle.

I just wonder how they are going to wrap it up with so little time left and fear I'm not gonna like where it ends.

Also is it wrong of me to hope for some good Kara and Lee moments. I miss the interaction between the two of them. I don't care what they are doing... let em have at least one heartfelt buddy moment.

Hee. Now we need a password or something.

Seriosly though, I'm fully prepared for the finale to be an absolute bloody mess. Literally. Like, I don't expect anyone to come out unscathed, so if anybody does, to me that'll be a bonus. And you're not wrong to hope for K/L moments. I was actually hoping the same but with all the Roslin-Adama family involved. A tiny flash of kindness before the universe swallows them whole (Sorry for the gloominess but yeah, bloody mess).

And now, If I may geekout: You guys see this? [Only admins are allowed to see this link] The president of the Colonies and the Admiral of the Fleet addressing the UN. Does the awesomeness of this show know any bounds? *fangirls*

What a fun little club! hehehe

YES!!! Starbuck is Daniel's daughter!!! That's what I told hubby when we *first* saw him playing the piano. I said "that's Daniel and he isn't really there." Then, after about 10 minutes, I said, "And Starbuck is totally Daniel's daughter." That is my favorite episode of this season. Kara really makes the show for me.

Oh, and I liked the flashbacks a lot. They gave me a better perspective on things. We *finally* got to see Lee's brother. I mean, we knew he died, but we actually see that he and Kara are together. As far as Starbuck&Apollo having an "insane relationship"...you said it! Perfect way to sum it up, and I too would LOVE some K&L/S&A moments in the finale! In fact, if there aren't any, I'm gonna be PISSED!

And yes, I too am bracing myself for some serious carnage. I mean, HOW many people died during the mutiny? People are dying left and right and this final mission is going to be no exception. I just wonder who of the main characters are not going to make it. My guesses would be 1. Roslin 2. Adama 3. Helo 4. Saul (maybe). I just kinda thought of them off the top of my head. Although, I wish they'd kill Tory off. Dear GOD, I cannot stand her!!!

Okay, I could go on and on, but I shall stop I have yet to watch the behind-the-scenes special, but I imagine it will be fab!

And now, I will sit patiently for the "bloody mess" that awaits.

haha i was exactly the same. i was thinking i should have started watching the show a while ago...maybe i would be able to watch the finale and know what going on...

I think everyone is going to die. Least that way if someone lives I'll be pleasantly surprised. Thus the this has all happened before and it will happen again.

No, man. If they kill Helo, they better also take Athena and Hera off the survivors list. Those 3 are probably the only ones in the entire fleet who have proved themselves to be deserving of happiness, over and over and over throughout the series. So if they're gonna kill one, they should just kill off all three and at least we can fanwank that they walked together once again in Valhalla.

Of course, this has all been filmed, and tonight I'm probably gonna get my heart unceremoniously plucked out of my chest. Again. Some more.

*sigh* I'm gonna miss this show. Only 20 hours to go.

Just finished watching the special with my hubby. Fabulous! Can I just say how much I absolutely LOVE Katee Sackhoff? Funny that they spelled her name wrong towards the end when she was talking about hating Starbuck. THAT is why I'm becoming an English teacher. Anywho, it was so great to see all the behind-the-scenes stuff and get perspectives on things from everyone from the creator to the cast to the music supervisor. And the fact that they have all become a family and how sad they are that they are not going to see that family every day, well, it just makes me wanna cry! But happy tears 'cuz I would absolutely LOVE to have an opportunity to work on a show like this.

Can't wait for tonight!!!

I need to sleep before I can properly input. Still, The Agathons live! YAY!!

And Roslin. God. I don't...I don't wanna talk about that.

Sooo. What did you all think?

I cried for poor Lee and Kara... and even Anders made me sad... but he did get what he wanted... Roslin made my heart break...

For far too long I thought Helo had died and was so relieved to find out he hadn't.

It was amazing.

And I thought the ending was perfect. All this has happened before... does it have to happen again?

I cried silent tears when Roslin died. I *KNEW* it was coming, but oh my goodness, how sad! I absolutely LOVED it. After Lee and Kara said goodbye to Adama and waved to Roslin, I said out loud, "alright, now you two go make babies! The human race needs that!" Of course, I knew that wasn't going to happen, but I kinda wanted them to have a happy ending. But have we determined exactly WHAT Starbuck was? Angel?

And the ending was PERFECTION. I thought they might do the whole, "oh, this has all happened and *will* happen again thing." SOO happily surprised to hear the "this has all happened, *DOES* it have to happen again?" thing.

And now I'm sad 'cuz I shall miss the show. Looking forward to the 2-hour event this fall..."The Plan."

P.S. I was wondering about Helo for a while there, too. I thought he would live, though.
