"The Hand of God" The last episode of Battlestar Galactica. Whether or not they wanted this to be their last episode, it is what it is. It may have been a forced conclusion because the plug was pulled to give a hell of a series finale. This show must have been somewhat successful enough to allow for a spin-off series, Galactica 1980, no matter how ill-conceived or ill-perceived it was. That spin-off will only last ten episodes. But we'll get to that another time. To me, this is all just a duplication of the Battle of Yavin (the first Death Star battle at the end of Star Wars: A New Hope). You'll see. Starbuck gets a cheap look up Cassiopeia's skirt as they and Apollo and Sheba climb to the highest point of Galactica's interior to look at the stars. While there, we hear that Galactica launched over 500 yahren ago (that's about 342 years ago according to my calculations). They pick up a TV signal on an unuse...

"Take the Celestra " No Cylons again! When was the last time we say a Cylon? Way back in "Fire in Space" NINE episodes ago. I don't count those two in "Baltar's Escape" because they were dismantled and hastily put back together, presumably dismantled again after Baltar's re-capture. Those don't count as they were no threat. Nine episodes ago. I guess that kind of gives a bit of crediblity to the suicide attacks of that episode being some kind of last ditch effort. Captain's Log: Adama talks about the increasing number of inhabited planets they are discovering. Starbuck sees a long-lost love, Aurora, when the Commander Kronus of the Celestra is being given an award. She's pissy that Starbuck never looked for her. Kronus has a list of accomplishments that would put him above Adama, but he retired and only became active again after the Cylon decimation when they needed people. He even remarks that Adama was once his aide. Starbuc...

"Experiment in Terra" Now we come to the Quantum Leap episode. I don't know if anybody noticed this before--this is my independent conclusion but this must have been noticed by somebody before (I edited the Battlestar Wiki page on this). One of the writers and producers of Battlestar Galactica is also the creator of Quantum Leap , one Donald P. Bellisario. The situation is just way too coincidental. This horrible episode of BSG was also even made into a longer movie-of-the-week. OMG, is all I have to say. If this is the episode of BSG that they made into a longer movie, they had no idea what they were doing. First of all, it amazes me how they are still giving acting credits to people who aren't even in the show any more. There's no Boxey or Athena and they get "Also Starring" credit. Jolly, that fat pilot who is barely in the entire frakking series, is in it for all of ten seconds. Captain's Log: Ga...

"Baltar's Escape" Captain's Log: The Fleet is buzzing about the opressive Eastern Alliance. Have they traded to Cylons for another bad guy? Adama does not want to release the prisoners from the Alliance because he does not want a rehash of the Cylon "peace" mission that went horribly wrong. Adama, Apollo, and Starbuck go to interrogate the prisoners. The Alliance Commandant says, "We are at war with the Nationalists...people who want to change the natural order." Baltar on the prison barge joins the Borellians in a jailbreak to get on the shuttle that is due to take the Alliance prisoners to the Galactica . The Borellians can fake death. The Council of Twelve wants to give Adama the Star of Kobol, but he refuses because he knows it is just to take away military control, something he does not think is wise in their present situation. The Council does it anyway, taking away martial law. One of ...

"Greetings from Earth--Part One" and "Greetings from Earth--Part Two" Another Captain's Log entry from Adama reveals that they are "looking for signs that we are getting close" to Earth. I wonder how the plan for the series changed when they knew the show was getting cancelled. After this two parter, there are only four episodes left. That's just the part of me that wonders at creative changes due to ratings, and remember that writer's strike one year that supposedly changed the plot of the TV show Heroes , filming alternate endings in case of strike? I wonder if that affected Battlestar Galactica ? While out on a long range patrol, Starbuck and Apollo discover a sub-light ship with a family of humans in suspended animation. The whole Colonial fleet gets excited. Why didn't they get very excited at all those other human settlements? But they are hoping it is their "first contact with an Earth vehicle....

"Murder on the Rising Star " Adama mentions that they will observe Earth before just landing and scaring the hell out of Earth. For these last couple of episodes, Adama is speaking into his microphone as a sort of Captain's Log, and we watch the words come up on the screen sort of like Doogie Howser. Starbuck and Apollo are in some kind of Triad tournaments on the Rising Star . That's that game that's a cross between basketball and racquetball. It is much more physical than we saw before, with punches and elbows. Starbuck and Ortega fight and get kicked out of the game. (Apollo tells Starbuck, "Go take a turbo-wash and cool off." Don't you just love it when they make a new name for common things? Turbo-wash = shower.) Ortega winds up shot to death in the locker room. Starbuck is seen running away from the scene, nervous. Adama wants Starbuck's laser gun checked. The laser has been fired. They run a laser ballistics check and ...

"The Man With Nine Lives" Adama is using the coordinates and directions given by the Beings of Light to make the way to Earth. Adama mentions "following the trail" left by the 13th Colony on their way to Earth. I guess that kind of solves my problem of what all these humans are doing on all these different planets all over the place. However, now aren't there many more such "colonies"? Starbuck is interviewed for a TV show to recruit new pilots. He is an orphan, his parents supposedly killed during a Cylon raid on Umbra on Caprica when he was a baby. There's an old con man amongst the fleet who decides to take advantage of that and "become" Starbuck's father. His name is Chameleon--but pronounced SHA-me-le-on. Amazing how all the information he has is exactly just what Starbuck did in his interview and he never wonders, but I guess he wants to believe. Of course, everyone is going gambling and dancing! I know they...
