JustGav Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I think the only thing I would've changed in the series to make the ending slightly more 'plausible', would've been the Starbuck story, as something didn't sit right with me. I'm not sure there would have been any other way with Starbuck, otherwise it would just get cheesy. wow what an ending, sad in places and the music from the original series when the ships go into the sun was genius. And the missus thought I was a geek for spotting that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I'm not sure there would have been any other way with Starbuck, otherwise it would just get cheesy. And the missus thought I was a geek for spotting that Yeah, the original theme was great at that point. It was quite obvious, and perfectly placed IMO. I think they should've just discovered a bewildered Starbuck on the surface of the old 'Earth' (after following her exploded Viper's trail), but not knowing her 'status' until she and Leoben discovered the body still in the remains of the ship (as shown). But that's just my opinion, as returning in the Viper, was a little too much for me really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 2.5hrs to go. There's a Frakkin' Special on afterwards, some highlights/interviews thingy it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are lucky in seeing it for the first time, but I will be watching it again this evening, but on the 'big' tv. And thanks for the heads up on the programme following, otherwise I'd have missed it. By goodness I am really going to miss this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Pretty damn good. So Adama and Evelyn could be shortened to Adam and Eve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Evelyn? I take you mean Evelyn Adama, as she was William Adama's mother IIRC, but she wasn't on the eventual 'Earth'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Well just finished watching the final episode last night. Great series in places. Nice ending to it all. But did not really like all the god and 'higher forces' element to it all. The Starbuck situation was not really explained, and her sudden dissapearence was far too predictable. But apart from that I really enjoyed watching it all. I used to be a fan of the original series, and I really like the dark elements of the re-make. And the overall graphics and scenes within the series have been outstanding. 9/10 score from me. Would have been 10/10 if not for the 'convenient' use of the god powers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Im lost with the ending. I thought they left there planet and galaxy to find earth where a race had gone thousands of years before them. But found them to be too primative Or was that the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Im lost with the ending. I thought they left there planet and galaxy to find earth where a race had gone thousands of years before them. But found them to be too primative Or was that the original They supposedly went to the original 'Earth', but found it was a destroyed wasteland (it has happened before, and will happen again). Starbuck's 'mission' was to break the cycle of cylon/human wars by leading the survivors of both races to somewhere that none of this could happen again, ie., the music/FTL codes etc. The planet they eventually landed on was habitable, as it was only populated by a primitive 'human' type mammal, and so could be interbred with etc. What they were trying to convey, was that we only call this planet 'Earth', because the survivors from Caprica brought the name with them, as well as all the astrological signs (Libra, Sagittarius etc), as well as the 'belief' of a god(s), and in so doing laid the foundations to what we have now; different peoples, beliefs, races, etc. I thought it was very clever, but the higher being subject had to be glossed over a bit to enjoy the whole overall presentation. The whole thing does smell a bit of Scientology to me, but I'm willing to ignore that slightly, as I thought the programme was brilliant.

ivan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The planet they went to first clearly wasn't this Earth from the space shots. Thanks to Starbuck, second time round they found this planet - 150,000 years ago - and landed (in Africa?) Did anyone spot the fact that Chief went to Scotland?

RiceRocket Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 That was beautiful, man. *sheds tear* Thanks to Starbuck, second time round they found this planet - 150,000 years ago - and landed (in Africa?) Did anyone spot the fact that Chief went to Scotland? Correct and yep By goodness I am really going to miss this. Ahh well there's the dvd to come with more material included in the finale episodes. Meanwhile I'm gonna fill the void by jumping straight into The Wire (supposedly the best show ever that everyone hasn't seen) which starts next Monday on BBC2 and subsequent epsiodes appearing daily. and Five's got a new show called The Mentalist () on Thursday, might be good.

AndrewOW Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I thought it was a shame that D'Anna Biers wasn't able to reach the 'end' with the other cylons and humans, and someone could've 'rescued' her during the final few episodes IMO.

AJI Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 On a similar note, I thought it was a shame we didn't see Starbuck's rack ! :D Not even a half-moon throughout the entire 4 seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
