The nuclear blast was many miles away in the city on the other side of the lake. What destroyed Baltar's house and presumably killed the Six but not him was the shock wave.
agreed. In hindsight I think they both died in the blast and became angels.Well yeah, of course, the Angels could protect them. But shielding someone's body from a nuclear blast isn't going to do much.
You'd be wrong for this show. It stopped being Sci fi a long time ago and started being about the supernatural. I think it was really thrown in our face during the photo incident when six accused Baltar of sabotage and he only was cleared when he accepted God.Predicted it here too. Maybe I should of been a sci-fi writer .

I know, no matter which way you go with it, it doesnt make a lot of sense. If there were a Baltar angel at the beginning then why did we only see him in the end? Still a great show though. I don't regret watching every episode when it aired. the producer was right. The characters made this show.Then who were the angels talking to?
I dont see how you can abandon all of those ships with the cylons still out there.Personally ... I thought the ending was just perfect ...
The had the Galactica "go into the sunset" ...
To a degree they did leave an opening with the Galactica going into the sun ... what happens if along the way Anders changed his mind ... the Galactica could just drift for an eternity until "someone" finds it ...
I liked how they did the "opera house".
They pretty much explained everything else, but Kara and the song. How did Kara know the song? How did the 5 know the song? What is Kara? Maybe the next rendition of Galactica will have these answers
This ranks right up there with B5 ... :up

Its the biggest frustration about the show. Relying on the supernatural to explain what happens, is the ultimate cop-out. but nothing we can do.

It all comes down to whether or not science can coexist with the divine, and we are all still battling about it today. Get a couple of advocates for this issue and they will debate until one or the other drops dead from exhaustion. Tell one that saying God creating the Earth in 7 days is a cop-out when dealing with carbon dating and the dinosaurs. Tell the other that evolution has some major holes in it but it is also a cop out when science refuses to accept the mere possibility of a higher power at work that we cannot know or understand. Neither one will say maybe the other is right about something.
For me in this show they can coexist and the divine/religious aspects are a nod that we are mortals and not supposed to nor ever will be able to explain everything. Maybe someday science will for some things but for now we dont know so we must keep an open mind and accept that just maybe God and angels do exist (tho Baltar said he hates that name hehe). We just do not know know their ways. Oh and lines in Star Trek that say 'According to MYTH the Earth was created in 7 days' basically says in the future society considers The Bible little more than historical fiction and things like that are insulting to many. Quite a few science fiction stories do this and the implicit notion that more advanced civilizations only accept scientific explanations is farce.
Anyways... BSG is a great great show and the ending was a well thought out balance between the two. And actually if it said that advanced aliens that didnt need physical bodies (ala Star Trek) controlled everything it would have been disappointing. Oh by the way... just how did the Organians make every Klingon and Federation ship heat up so the crew couldnt touch a thing? How supernatural.
EDIT: oooops 6 days lol. Dont know why I have 7 on the brain.
Supernatural I can handle but reverting to cave men when the planet of your dreams is yours for the taking is the most unbelievable thing in the history of the universe. In two years without at least iron age tech most of the crew will be dead from just starving to death and sickness. There is a reason why "Eve" died young. At least half would say that Lee was crazy and setup a base camp somewhere else with everything they could take off the ships. (My camp)
Lee took the anti-tech option as a way to solve man-kinds problems but it just destroyed the best option which was to really have peace with man and machine.
As we see 150,000 years later, they made the wrong choice. IMHO
