Thread: Battlestar Galactica -- Season 4

Okay, I'm posting this "in the blind", meaning I haven't read any posts before it since my last post on the 20th. The reason for this will become obvious in a moment.

It's amazing what a good night's sleep will do for a person. I awoke this morning and within about 5 minutes of waking up, *bing* the answer hits me! Six and Gaius, at the 150k year point, are the Six and Gaius that Baltar and Caprica (respectively) had seen/were seeing through the series at various times! Duh! In that light, their conversation now makes a lot more sense to me...wonder if Kara ever *poofed* in from time-to-time or not?

I don't know what I was thinking last night. Just being too tired from a tough day at work, I guess, or over-thinking the story. I dunno. Anyway, I'm feeling better now that I don't feel like a complete idiot.

I think you are right. You are not complete idiot.

And I am so glad to have resolution to that gnawing question. Add to it the long dialogue I posted an hour ago of Baltar's speech in the CIC and I felt like it all came together for me.

One thing that is interesting is that the whole Daniel thing seemed to go away; we'll never know if "Daniel" was Kara's father, but I suspect he wasn't. Kara learned the song as a kid; she grew up; she died. She came back to life, brought them to Earth (13th tribe earth), had the visions of the song/helped along by Hera, and helped them find the second Earth. And then, her journey complete, she disappears, maybe to spend eternity with Anders? (I still am not clear what he said during her goodbye). Yet, given Kara's journey, it seems to be much bigger than something Cavill could have set into motion with Daniel. Or maybe I am wrong.

Gods, you could go very deep into interpretations of all of that.

I think Anders said, I'll see you on the other side...

That's what I thought. And that makes good sense.

And she was the Harbinger of death.... for most of the skin-jobs and the hybrids.

Yep, that's what he said. I had CC on. Loved Tigh's comment about pitching them all out the airlock. I was extremely satisfied with the finale, much more so than I expected. Sigh, so sad it had to end.

That would be where Bob Dylan got his inspiration, he is the one who wrote, "All Along the Watchtower."

Yeah, thanks for the reinforcement.

Indeed, the whole Daniel issue went away. It's probably safe to assume the Cavil did away with the Daniel's, as Ellen led us to believe. It's possible that one Daniel managed to get away and was Kara's father, but we'll never know for sure unless RDM gives us that answer. As you nicely summed it up, Starbuck (Kara) was a nexus-type of character in the story. She had a pivital role, a focal-point position in the plot (Kara Thrace and Her Secret Destiny ). Everything, in the end, landed on her shoulders (with a little help from Hera)...and had she not been given the musical notes and recognized them as such, had she not assigned them numeric values, not been in the CIC when she was in order to enter the digits as jump coordinates...they'd have never found "Earth". Where she went too after talking to Lee (or where she came back from for that matter), we will very likely never know, but I seriously do not think Cavil or "Daniel" had anything to do with it.

Yeah, it's deep stuff...

Is it me or did the future president Laura "use" her younger ex student ?
That was interesting to say the least ! I think there were a few jokes there.
