Start of GALACTICA’s Final Season Delayed Until April!!
I am – Hercules!!
Fans who have been waiting since March for new episodes of “Battlestar Galactica” are going to have to wait a little longer.
The Los Angeles Times now reports that “Galactica’s” fourth and final season, long expected to begin in January, won’t commence until April.
This would finally explain why the series’ 3rd season DVD set won’t be out till April!
Still up in the air is whether or not we’ll have to wait until 2009 to see the series’ final episodes.
The Times also reveals that series mastermind Ron Moore plans to make his directorial debut on one of “Galactica’s” last 10 episodes.
Read all of the Times’ story here.

This is the worst news in a while.
Just start the new season NOW and give us a season 5! -
Although I suppose there's probably a good explanation that Ron'll have for us. This means they have more time to get it right. Bring on Razor!
-
At least we'll have something to watch after Lost wraps up.
-
that they have a good reason for this...very disappointing...
-
1 full year between seasons huh..... pissed that i gotta wait, hopefull that i will get a full proper season in one go
-
Good thing Razor is coming to help fill the gap...but this really, really, REALLY sucks. With an April start, they better not break up the final season into 2009.
-
frak the Sci Fi channel.
frak them in their stupid asses. -
..with horrible planning and support. Bad enough they killed Farscape years back with their craptacular scheduling and lack of PR. Now they're killing off Galactica. They're more interested in promoting their newest giant insect movie or cheesey alien abduction telefilm.
-
...I hate it but I keep coming back.
-
At least we still have Flash Gordon...Sigh.
-
...fix that ending for season 3 that they pulled out of their ass... well, Galactica can wait for me, coz I aint waitin around for it anymore
-
I suck...
-
Battlestar Galactica is an afterthought.
-
Delay it forever, Sci-Fi/Moore/Eick. I don't care anymore. Totally over this show. I am/was a big fan, watched every episode, and stood by during every bloated hiatus. Balking until January was bullshit in the first place. Splitting the season up and showing the conclusion in '09 was almost the breaking point. This posturing by the powers-that-be to squeeze every goddam ounce of revenue out of this franchise is it. Don't care any more. Sci-Fi can cut the finale in to 60 one minute segements showing once a year for the next sixty years. I hope Galactica finds Earth in the finale, and when they switch on their little radio a faint voice from the blue planet below tells them to go fuck themselves.
-
Do you guys actually WANT to sink this ship? I mean, GALACTICA could be so much bigger - why withdraw support from your most popular show? Fucking morons...
-
they are only doing this so that starting 4.5 in 2009 won't look as bad. it's probably that simple.
i love BSG but i've learned my lesson with the sci-fi channel. outside of the possible caprica series, i will NEVER watch another sci-fi show until they stop taking advantage of the fan's loyalty. -
Oh, come the fuck on. You goddamned know they don't have a coherent ending planned for "Lost" - not even close. None of it was worked out in advance. Nothing they could do at this point besides the Patrick Duffy "it's a all dream" thing could suffice to tie up the hundreds of loose ends and unanswered questions. If any one show was destined for an epic failure of a finale, it's "Lost." I'd love nothing better than for them to prove me wrong. But, COME ON, people, there's just no friggin' way.
-
spelling counts..........
-
As in FRAK the SciFi Channel. I was so pumped up since FINALLY Directv had SciFi in HD, and oh GOODIE, I get to watch Flash Gordon. There will be absolutely NOTHING to bring me back to SciFi after BSG is off the air. And I think they know that.
-
I just don't care at this point. Oh and they probably are changing the ending as I called it! We are Cylons also!
-
TNT will be ready to premiere their "re-imagining" of that classic SciFi series Battlestar Galactica- you remember, with that dude from Miami Vice- and the delicious new twist will be that Starbuck is a hermaphrodite. Fact.
-
Galactica is not even close to the most popular show if you go by ratings. They did try and promote it by showing on NBC even and nothing could help it. It's just time to let go of a once great, then terrible, then good, then stupid as all hell show.
-
Apparently Jamie Bamber is leaving the show due to conflicts with the direction of his character Lee Adama. So the folks at SciFi are brining in two new characters. Cousins Coy and Vance Adama. Writers are scrambling to fit them in....
-
... FUCK THEM UP THEIR STUPID ASSES!!!SCI-FI ARE FUCKING CLOWN SHOES, AND IF I MET THEM I'D FUCKING KICK THEIR ASSES!!!
-
I like how that sounds. If we can just get them to both be corn-fed, self-congratulatory quarterback types, we can just call the show "Space Family Manning".
-
I agree, no way Sci-Fi can keep this show under wraps until April. People will know everything about the final season before it ever airs. look for a lot of red spoiler boxes over the next 6 months.
-
Damn you!!!Damn you to Hell Sci-Fi Channel!!!From Hell's heart I stab at thee!
-
... *
-
I keep seeing more and more evidence to suggest that SciFi is preparing for the biggest 'Hail, Mary' play in television history in hopes of saving this show. Pushing the start date back to April will give the propaganda machine time to work with the TV/DVD/Theatrical releases of 'Razor' in hopes of luring in new/lost audience memembers and perhaps even some of the haters who disliked the new show from Day One.
-
I think this all but confirms they're breaking up Season 4. Since they're not starting until April, there's almost zero chance that they'll burn off the final, climactic ten episodes during the summer months.
-
As I was saying...Lost was, indeed, spinning it's wheels...Cuse & Lindeloff admit it. Because they didn't know WHEN Lost was going to END. They couldn't rush thru the story they have to tell too quickly, lest ABC order another full season AFTER they have concluded their big wrap up. Now they know...they have 48 more episodes to tell the rest of the story. I don't expect they will be "spinning their wheels" now that ABC has given them permission to finish the damn show when they want. Now the writers can map out exactly the big bombshells that still remain to be dropped on Lost at a more even pace, which will kill the need for "vamping", as they have done in previous seasons. It's like someone telling you that you have to tell a joke in 2 hours...and the joke you have prepared only takes 2 minutes to tell...that's where Cuse & Lindeloff were for the first 3 seasons. Now that the end date has been established...I expect little or no wheel spinning as the show rumbles to its conclusion. But, BattleStar will suffer because of this delay for sure.
-
they drop the ball. Farscape? Gone. Invisible man? Gone. MST3K? Gone. Battlestar Galactica? Gone. Sci-Fi network is the Fox of basic cable. But instead of garbage "American Idol", Sci-Fi's got their focus on Stargate and "exclusive" movies. I guess with all that extra scratch they'll have after Galactica's done they can realize their dream of making Manquito 2: The Suckening.
-
Bollocks. Sci-fi assholes. BAH!
-
That's "Mansquito". I don't know what a Manquito is, but I'm sure Sci-Fi will make a shitty movie out of it. In fact, knowing the high quality of a Sci-FI Channel movie, I'm sure that a script has been written and they're already in a budget meeting for Manquito. I wants my royality check, dammit!
-
Man that's some sucky news.
-
Kill all the lawyers? Or kill all the damn Sci-Fi execs?
-
DIE!

It's a SciFi tradition to say "fuck you" to its loyal viewers.
by snowpuff
But now they also have a tradition of fucking themselves.
By the time this show is delayed and broken up, it will have leaked all over, hurting their ratings, hurting their sales and hurting the show.
But what do we know? Isn't it obvious NBC/Universal knows what it's doing?
[cue laughtrack] -
...they've got one cow producing milk, and they're trying to get the milk of ten cows out of it. They're gonna kill the fucking cow.
-
Jack is already dead. He's in Purgatory on the Island, but getting off the Island puts him in Hell -- which is why he wants to go back. (Those who die nobly, like Charlie, move on to Heaven) But he can't, because there's no escaping Hell ... unless they have a Reaper crossover.
-
Thats crap Sci-fi!!
-
Because they are pushing the airing back to April, the ratings will suck horribly. So Sci-Fi will cancel it early like they did with Farscape and the last episodes will never air and there will be no Caprica or movies or anything else from Battlestar. If this is true then SciFi has just killed Battlestar.
-
The entire reason for this is so that they can retain the viewers of BSG and push them into their "next big thing". Chances are their "next big thing" is not going to be ready to air until 2009, so they are delaying Galactica until then. Mark my words, the show that follows BSG finale will be their baby. Unfortunately, what they seem to have FUCKING MISSED BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID ASSHOLES, is that the fans will disappear waiting a freaking year for a show to come back. That long of a wait doesn't create interest like the STUPID people at sci-fi think, it creates lack of interest.
-
Manquito is a new corn chip by Frito-Lay. Guess what it's shaped like... :-)
BTW, great title with "Mansquito - The Suckening" Cheers! -
http://www.lostreview.com/2007/02/lost-losing-in-ratings.cfm
-
Ah, felgercarb!
With all these months waiting for a new season, I guess this IS the Sci-Fi Channel's SOPRANOS... -
The diehard will stay. But the average TV audience has a short memory and they will lose interest and move on. Sci-fi channel just shot themselves in the foot. The loss of Stargate (Atlantis is doing okay though)and the lack of quality original programming (the moronic new Flash Gordon for example) is turning viewers away from the Sci-fi channel. When the Sci-fi channel starts running commercials for the new BSG episodes, will the old fans still be watching the Sci-fi channel to even notice?
-
If not, we'll have to rely on file sharing brits.
-
"Lost Episodes" is the standard label for shows that do not air until long after they are supposed to.How so very appropriate.
-
Ghost of Nixon that was hilarious and wonderful...gruntybear... go to your room and do not come back until you have something nice to say about Lost (the best show ever made)... stop looking at me like that... go now... now you can't have a fruit roll-up... just go and think about your Lost hate and how sad Lost must be right now...
-
Executives and suits - joyless, soulless pieces of garbage. Even at Sci Fi. I bet they think starting it in April will make it easier for them to spread the show out into 2009. Absolute pieces of smurfing smurf.
-
I've got better things to do in April. Making me wait that long just makes me move on to something else. Battlestar Galactica is good but it's not so good that I'm going to wait years for the shit.
-
Giving us something awesome and then trying to fuck it up. I hope everyone on their board chokes to death on fat, diseased cocks.
-
Huh, I thought it'd been canceled. I'd forgotten all about it.
-
because you want it so bad
-
Will anyone remember anything about this show by April? Heck, I'm already beginning to forget major plot points. As for Twin Peaks being the second best show ever - hell yeah - everyone knows Moonlighitng was better.
-
Daniel Dae Kim just got a DUI, looks like Sun is gonna be a widow soon
-
hey fans we're giving you a movie because we love you so much! also we are taking away your favorite show for over a year because of the movie, because we love you! oh and the movie sucks, fyi.
-
idiots.
-
Twin Peaks is second best on my list, too, with my favorite show being Babylon 5. I think that the advertisement on Aint-It-Cool is incorrect, though. The Twin Peaks set won't be available until Oct. 30.
-
I have nothing else to say :^p
-
What the FRACK!!!!!!!!!! They are ending a great show but hey lets stall the final episodes. Frackers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Oct 25, 2007 11:06:51 PM CDT
So is Jin going to get killed off next season? Lost! Highjacket!
by warp11
Jin just got arrested for a DUI. That makes him the fourth from Lost.. every Lost star that has gotten a DUI has gotten killed in the show.
-
Oct 25, 2007 11:11:52 PM CDT
Remember, new Heros, Battle Star and Lost all at the same time?
by warp11
That was happened last season, and it was amazing. damnit.
-
Ever since Sci Fi cancelled Farscape they have been on my dren list. www.warp11.com, warp 11 is playing their halloween show tomorrow. Should be crazy.
-
A WHOLE YEAR BETWEEN SEASONS?!?!?!?! FUCK YOU, SCI-FI. I'LL NEVER INVEST TIME IN ONE OF YOUR SHOWS AGAIN!!!!!!
-
I'll bet we know each other. Look at the first part of my name, I'm betting you worked there, too. Does your name start with a "K", or with an "O"?
-
and other SciFi UnwatchablesBASTARDS
-
...aw, shit, there ain't no such thing.this is just pure shitty news
-
my proposal for their new tagline
-
Oct 25, 2007 11:45:19 PM CDT
not delay the show forever.. just until 2018! i could be a studi
by happybunni
"imagine the viewership then! i mean that is TEN years of gaining fans and not spending a dime! the show will be 10x as popular as it is now! BRILLIANT!!!!oneone!" again, fucking jackasses.
-
nah, I am not Karl or Odin "K or O". I am just a big fan of the band. I go by Old Country Doctor on the BB they have, http://p202.ezboard.com/bwarp11bb, have we met before?
-
Hmmm, probably not if you didn't work at Play or Serious Magic. Possible, though. I used to help do their very first internet broadcasts- "2 Guys" and "Prime Directive".
-
For fuck's sake, the way some of you whiny little fucks are carrying on you'd think someone had stolen your favourite toy. Its been delayed for a few months, not cancelled. Grow a pair, and stop embarassing yourselves.
-
Thank God they're ending this abortion.
-
Actually only 3 cast members have been charged with DUI...Ana Lucia, Libby and now Jin. Mr. Eko was charged with driving w/o a license...and the charges were later dropped. Still...when are these idiots gonna learn? The Hawaiian cops are The Others!!
-
Oh...I think Season 3 had it's spinning wheel moments...especially in the opening 6 episodes of the "mini-season". If I saw Kate & Sawyer breaking up and hauling rocks around one more time I was gonna throw my TV into the pool. Some also felt the "Paulo/Nikki" episode was pointless, as well...although I thought it was fantastic....(For the creepy "buried alive" scene alone). But once the show got on track, it was indeed masterful television. Can't wait for Season 4.
-
Are they behind schedule or are they going to let them sit on a shelf for 4 months?
On another note... I am very surprised this that Ron Moore has never directed a TV episode before?! -
Nooooooooooooo!
-
You guys are absolutely ridiculous. That is total horseshit. I've had it with Sci-fi's ass-hattery.
-
that really blows....
-
Some new show?
-
Oct 26, 2007 1:44:48 AM CDT
The final episode of season 3 said returning in January 2008!
by stereotypical evil archer
not March.
-
boycott em, stick to dvdsuntil we can't stand it and cave and watch.But we can send a message and ONLY get the Razor dvds, let the SciFi channel Suck It Hard during their broadcast....
-
pre-ordered the Razor dvd on Amazon--piss on the broadcast!
-
One of the best single episodes of tv ever! Plus its also when the series started to kick ass again! From that episode on it never stopped being amazing!
-
'Nuff said.
-
Just for the fact that it showed you that not everything on Lost is "fate/destiny" hocus pocus. We assumed Locke was "drawn" by the island to discover the Swan hatch, as if it was his destiny. In "Expose" we see Nikki & Paulo discovered the Pearl hatch weeks before Locke found the Swan...by simply stepping on it!! And it gave you the first perspective of the crash and island life from the "red shirts" in the background. The "show-within-a-show" open of that episode was also superb. ("Razzle Dazzle"!)...I think many just couldn't get over the fact early in the season that these two background characters were thrust into the core Losties business without much of an introduction. But you're absolutly right...from that episode on, last season of Lost was a juggernaut. I have a feeling the final 48 episodes will move forward with the same intensity.
-
I have mine already... I dont understand this delay... they are going to frak things up...
-
Yet shite like Stargate and Dresden Files sails on through with nary a burp...
-
that blows
-
in the Sci-Fi channel boardroom and get some fresh blood in there. What a bunch of cunts, tbh.
-
It better be a FRAKKING AMAZING season...
-
I also think comparing SciFi to WB might be appropriate - since they cancelled GLOBAL FREQUENCY because, I don't know, maybe people LIKED IT???
What's the fucking logic behind this? People watch your show, therefore it must be shit? Is there some perverse reverse audiene share thing going on, where the programme with the fewest viewers gets the most respect at the Dumb TV Exec Awards or something? Or all you all so jacked up on coke that you can't ufcking see straight, which would explain the abortion that is FLASH GORDON? You ufcking cocksuckers!!!
I hope SciFi dies and NEVER returns. They're too fucking dumb to be allowed to air their shit. -
It's the new fucking y'all
-
That means it's going to be even longer before we get it over here in Blighty. Thank god for bittorrent. One thing i don't get though is that season 3 has been out over here for a month on dvd. Whats going on?
-
Yeah, I don't get it - we have the DVD box set of season 3 over in Blighty. Very daft of Sci-Fi to mess around like this. Talk about dropping the ball. Why is it always sci-fi shows that this happens too? We get crap like ER year in , year out with absolutely no disruption.
Seems to me like they couldn't arrange a bonk in brothel. -
was a dissapointment compared to 1 and 2 and they made some terrible design choices. Did we really need to see the inside of a cylon ship? And did it have to look like an expensive restaurant/wine bar? Their doing a Star Trek with the need to show us every little thing about the Cylons until they become boring (like they did with the Borg in Voyager), stale and, as seems to be the case with s3, predictable. Remember in s1 when you would get glimpses of them, or 1 human cylon would blow himself up, or sabotage the ship? Now they just sit around a table and chat and debate what they are going to do next. Season 3 has, to be honest, left me not to bothered when I see s4. Adama getting shot in s1 and the gang on New Caprica in s2 were great cliffhangers. s3 didn't have the same impact. s3 is out on region 2 and I'll wait to watch s4 on DVD to.
-
*turns back*
-
Which is not a slam on the show itself - but, you had to KNOW Sci-Fi was going to screw the viewers somewhere down the line, so I chose not to bend over for them.
-
FUCK SCIFI CHANNEL There we go. That feels good.
-
for the premiere.
-
When you watch the shows come april, and you know you will, make a list of all the advertisers during the show. Then send out multiple letters to these companies telling them that have just joined the Sci-Fi shitlist and that all of thier companies will be actively blacklisted. Fuck with thier money people, it's the only thing they understand.
-
You're gonna mess everything up for yourselves! If you keep delaying this (no to mention delay the release of the second 10 episodes until 2009), you will have a mass revolt on your hands.
-
That is a great idea. Actually, maybe we should contact all the advertisers on that shit fest channel now and tell them, unless you and your money people can convince Sci-Fi to air Battlestar in January and IN A COMPLETE FUCKING SEASON your products will be blacklisted. Or maybe that is taking nerdiness a little too far.
-
--not likely to be different in April, much, since the commercials on SciFrak are endlessly repetitive.let them know that you plan to boycott the broadcast episodes and sponsors in favor of the dvds UNLESS S3 dvds release sooner, S4 airs in one complete season, etc. Copy the CEO of NBC on the letters, maybe Bonnie will get the Hammer.
-
"i thought the rockies would be more.. y'know, rocky."
"yeah, that jonh denver is fulla shit, man." -
...cause otherwise, I'd be hurting right now. Still, the train wreck that is the sci-fi channel is oddly compelling. All I know is that I desperately want a blow job from Bonnie Hammer because she must give the best head in Hollywood to have attained her position. Aren't studios corporations with boards of directors? Are they really willing to give up profit for one lousy blow job. Or does Bonnie suck them off on a regular basis?
-
To me they killed the series off when Starbuck was bumped off...Are they going to do what the origional season did? Return 2 years later with another Battlestar and look 30 years have passed and they found Earth! Fracking Frack!
-
she's talked about her ball juggling technique on the radio.
-
no respect y'all
-
But don't worry...I'll skip the foreplay.

We better be rewarded for the wait. I want a Sackhoff/Helfer fuc
by performingmonkey
And I want to see those fine titties. More naked Sharon too. It would help if they actually gave her a role next season too instead of simply 'my baby is still alive'. Also, more in-head Baltar. Baltar and Starbuck are easily the two best characters on the show. They actually have some depth and are acted the best (Katee Sackhoff wipes the floor with the others in the acting stakes. She only met her match IMO in the scenes with Leoben, the guy who plays him is a top class actor). James Callis as Baltar has also helped give life to the show. Sometimes there's only so much of 'I'm a serious colonial officer!' type acting you can take.
-
i yell that at the screen while watching sarah corvis, eddie almos style.
-
...I've completely lost interest.
-
Moore and Eick have no say on when BSG aires. They've already expressed their annoyance(as has the cast) on Sci-Fi talking about splitting the season. I don't get why they're doing this. If you go to Bear McCreary's website(the music composer for the series) he's already seen the 1st episode(minus the music). Sci-Fi is just being a huge ping cunt right now and that's it. Don't blame the writers/producers for something they don't get to control.
-
Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/3y9a99. While the whole thing is interesting, read the very last sentence of the article - "The show's additional 20 episodes will return in early 2008." This article came out today - I wonder if this is a typo or if we just might get the whole season next year? I fear it is the former but I hope for the latter.
-
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN
-
i wish i could just cancel the SciFi channel a la carte style from my DirecTv service until april - then just order it again when they finally broadcast something worth paying for watching. cause i would.
-
this article ( http://tinyurl.com/3y9a99 ) does mention 20 episodes and 2008 as you say...but I read some weasel words there, too:Season 4 "KICKS OFF in 2008""The show's additional 20 episodes will RETURN in 2008"So the FRAKKIN BASTARDS are still keeping the season split in play.

I'm still waiting for the new season of "Sliders"! Where is it?
by mrmysteryguest
-
sorry
-
Adama and the Galactica search FOR Earth, while in real life, BSG - the series - searches for an air date and time ON Earth.
-
but it gives me time to catch up since I just started watching "BSG."
-
I promise that you'll be having plenty of viewing fun since Season One was by far the best IMHO.As far as being pissed, the whole thing is so ridiculous (i.e. worthy of ridicule and mockery) that the best way to handle it is with a healthy dose of humor. Still, I do understand the really mad TBers because ultimately, BSG "delayed" is BSG denied.
-
Battlestar makes a mysterious rendezvous with an alien ship. It turns out that the alien ship is from Earth. Earthlings board the Battlestar reveal themselves as Sci Fi Network Execs. A thrilling Finale then unfolds as the Execs tell all the battlestar crew that they have always been on Earth on a land called America and that the series is cancelled due to low view ratings. More Earthling come aboard Battlestar and set about dismantling the fake computer terminals and interiors while the cast try their best to remain in character refusing to believe it was all a fictitious journey. Meanwhile Starbuck is told that the Bionic Woman crew are waiting for her in studio 24 for a 1 scene reshoot. The Commander ends the episode with an emotional epitaph as the battlestar interior set is now stripped bare with a promise that he will be back in ten years for BSG the Fraking Movie. The End.
-
Sci Fi doesn't want to do the last season and is dragging everything out in hopes we all just forget about BS. Like HBO with Deadwood. HBO know they were never going to make the two Deadwood movies to complete the series but by telling us they would it removes some of the sting fans were feeling at the time.This is starting to have the same stinky smell as the HBO/Deadwood situation.
-
howdy--seems the only BSG talkbacks are about the LACK of BSG!how frakked is that?still, a tip of the hat from my chromey dome to you, sir
-
At least the "lack of BSG" does not mean a lack of quality TBers like yourself. We'll just have to endure the Sci-Fi programming "menace" the way Adama and crew have endured the Cylon menace.Cheers!
-
...you are cordially invited to go fuck yourselves. It takes a special kind of network to screw the fans of the ONLY HIT SERIES this way. I can only hope that any percentage of the dvd sales that goes to you fuckers is minimal, because that's the only way I'm going to watch BSG. And fuck your advertisers too, I'm not only going to boycott buying any of their product. I'm going to shoplift and sell their shit on the side whenever possible. Profit loss is the only language you bitches will ever understand.
-
Which means the only explanation for their behavior is that they think they can make money off it.
They've probably sold all their stock options short and are doing their best to make the channel tank. -

Battle Star Season 3 was some of the best TV I've ever watched!
by pieman0226
Beginning to end, I couldn't put the DVD's through fast enough. The whole 4 episode arc in the beginning on New Caprica, leading to the escape of New Carprica, into and 1 1/2 year transition for each of the characters, their relationships. New dramas, new conflicts. And then finding out about the Cylon virus, and its continued existence leading to the capture of Balltar. Searching through Space to find food, having to send the entire fleet through a radiated gas cloud, followed by the ill effects. There were like 2 filler episodes at this time, one of which really brought together trooper morale, and the other was a heartfelt episode on Adama-Day. Right before the emotion flips around a 360 rotation to the episode when everyone hero Kara died in a mysterious sun-ball explosion!
All of this leading up to Baltar's trial - essentially labeling him directly responsible for the death on New Caprica as well as accusing him of having a minor role in the death of humanity. Everyone's traditional roles have been flipped, and then flipped while rotating backwards, so that our characters are in completely new shoes from a different perspective-with years of bitterness tied-tight.
The trial, meanwhile is one of the most passionate trials I've seen on TV. Hands down, a total unknown character comes through on Baltars diffence to make the most evil of sinners seem like the victim. Which in turn invites the presence of doubt throughout the whole trial.
Everyone gets to take out their sins on Baltar during their trial. Col. Tigh meanwhile has to accept his sins over the last season, which aligns with the doubt of Baltar's guilt. Meanwhile 2 very close characters, and 2 close-characters of close characters come together mysteriously and discover they are the final four cylons.
The final episode of the season is the best season finale I've ever seen. If only for the climatic music sequence of Jimi's All Along the Watchtower redone with Middle-Eastern Rock while we watch the final tease of the season that gives the briefest of glimpses of what is to come....
....and then to leave us hanging for 1 1/2 years. It might have killed the immediate followers, but it was epic of every sense of the word.
