Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... What the hell! Did anyone see this?

I won't spoil it... but... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Anyway, watch it then come back here to rant about how the second half of the season isn't coming back until 2009. Yes, that's right, more than six months away!


Gahhhhh. I'm angry thinking about it.

I can wait, the series has gone downhill big-time since the end of season two.
It started with a bang but is ending up with a groan.

I can't believe a show can disappear off the air for 7 months in the middle of its final season.

Is this the producers idea to whisk everyone up in mad anticipation?

BSG has been good. But not great. I might forget about it in the next 7 months.

They might just be doing a 'Lost' here. Stretching it out so far that most early fans lost interest.

This cliffhanger was the way I expected the entire season to end. I have no real desire to see what happens now. What ever it is will be more anti-climactic than it already was.

I'm still optimistic. Maybe there are survivors? Maybe they're out in space looking for the other twelve colonies? (Which would suck).

In any case, I'll remain optimistic, but by the time the next episode comes around I'll be completely detached which really sucks. I already became detached in the stretch between Seasons 3 and 4, and just when I was really getting back into it again, they do this.

On the bright side, they'll be able to make the finale ten episodes more FX heavy than had they rushed it. Also, they know this franchise can be a sweet cash cow if they play it out right. They want folks drooling for more, so they can do a couple of TV movies after they finish off the series.
Seriously, if they went ahead and pounded out the full twenty eps they had planned, despite the writer's strike, I think it a safe bet that we'd seen a whole schwack of drama-heavy BS flashback dribble with lots of tears and slow-claps. Like that stupid boxing epsiode...ugh.

That boxing episode was probably the worst episode in the series. You had a girl knocking out a guy and Adm. Adama standing toe to toe with a guy half his age, lol.

I agree. One of the worst eps. In fact, that season was the worst. It reminded me of the last season of Space: Above and Beyond Started out good, then went mad.

On the upside, Season I and II were the best I've seen in YEARS. I thouroughly enjoyed it, big time.

I think the last eps will be worth it all. Cool
