Well that certainly sets up an interesting season 4 . . . . . and yes, its January 2008, with a Pegasus movie in about September to fill the gap.

I was pretty sure Kara was coming back and figured it would be in the final scene . . . . . . but I didn't anticipate her saying "I"ve BEEN to Earth."

Of course, if we remember back to season 2, in the cave scene, Kara, Lee Adama, Admiral Adama and Laura Roslin finds Kara exclaiming "We're standing on Earth" when they saw all the constellations around them.

Does she mean she's been to Earth in the same sense?

Is the Nebula a portal?

How would the Cylons know about her destiny? How would anyone know what her destiny is? How has the Nebula been in her head throughout her life.

In promoting the final episode, Sci-Fi channel sent out e-mails saying: "Find out who the Final Five Cylons are!!" but I'm also leaning towards the thought that the chief, Torrie, Tigh and Anders might not be Cylons or, if they are, then the glowing entities we've seen might not be them.

But who did Danna D'biers recognize among those glowing entities in the temple if not one of those five human suspects?

We knew from an earlier episode that Baltar's writings had developed a cult following in the fleet. We saw one young lady wanting him to bless her child in the previous episode. So it's likely he's being shuffled off and protected - probably as some kind of Messiah - by those supporters . . . . no doubt to be persecuted and strung up on a cross at a later date!!!

So much for the Roslin/Adama love affair. . . . . . or the mother/son sort of relationship between Roslin and Lee. Is she now an implacable enemy of those two?

The trial, I thought, came to the correct verdict and explained it well . . . . . although Baltar is certainly guilty of something, his unwitting collaboration in the original attack on the twelve colonies.

Is Gaeta merely bent on revenge. Throughout this series, including the mini-series, he's been in a perfect position to continue driving the fleet onward and outward towards Earth. Are the Cylons or some group of them "herding" the remaining humans in that direction deliberately.

The last few episodes have ramped up the special effects to a greater degree . . . . some amazing stuff . . . . although a space fighter probably doesn't have to "bank" away as Lee did . . . . just change direction and go.

The mental link of Roslin/Six, Athena and Hera is interesting . . . . . I wonder if they'll also all start seeing Baltar in their heads as Six can.

. . . . and one assumes Baltar is stilling seeing Six in his head.

I'm looking forward to the Pegasus movie. . . . . I assume it will end with the radio exchange between Cain and Galactica . . . . . "Adama . . . . is that you?"

Random thoughts.

but I'd just like to add that the best part of the episode was Balter calling Gaeta butter fingers.

I agree. I busted out laughing at that.
