But it's a subset of string theory, isn't it? I haven't studied it, so my knowledge can be summed up from things I've read on the internets.

It's more of a unification of the five different superstring theories, with each theory presenting a limit on the dimensionality of M-theory.
Kind of like how string theory is a unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity. |
Cheers, thanks for the info. This is interesting to me, might study on the subject on a later degree (have to finish my current one first). |

its always difficult to end a long running show without disapointment but they pulled it off i think. Look at Twin Peaks for an example of what could have happened. Loved the inclusion of Jimmi soundtrack at end + previous BSG theme.
Rarely does a series last this long without turning to complete shit.

I can't wait for the OST of S4 and Razor (the original tune is played in the Adama flashback of 40 years ago) to finally come out. While I haven't watched the original BSG, the tune sound so fantastic.

There is still a BSG movie to be release later this year, "Battlestar Galactica - The Plan" if I'm not mistaken, but I have no idea about what the plot will be about, but probably some unanswered questions will be answered then.
But then again, the way they ended the show, if they answer some of this questions the wrong way, many will be disappointed, especially if they go further with this god story arc.

If you remember, the intro of the show used to contain "And they have a plan." The Plan () will show what that plan was supposed to be.
Also, I think there are more made for TV movies coming in the future, like Babylon 5.

Apparently that wasn't the plan. Moore talked about it in his podcasts, how the plan storyline was neglected and then ultimately forgotten (by writers and fans). So The Plan is supposed to remedy that.

| Quote: | | And it just goes to show how pathetic atheists are when they can't stand the religion or the mere notion of God, even in a sci-fi show lol, so they have to delude themsleves into ingoring it. |
A lot of atheists (even militant ones like Dawkins) can still appreciate mysticism as a device for dramatic effect.
Myself, I enjoyed the end of the series and found the last episode in particular to be particularly emotional but I do think the it was rushed towards the end, and that the mysticism took too much prominence as the series progressed. Still, it's a bit premature to call this the end though as there will eventually be a feature length episode and spin off series. Whether they will fill the (very large) void left by BSG or not we wait and see... |

If you have a problem with gods in fiction, you should probably take a chill pill about your Deophobia. ["These men are not atheists, they have the fear of God in them, but they are in denial."]
I also think fisk should be unbanned.

BSG- The Plan - It's Season 1 and 2 from the Cylon perspective. Made by Olmos. Essentially, its not worth watching cause you know whats going to happen and nothing to new is going to be revealed.
Finale Question
At the end, when Baltar and Caprica 6 are on Earth and Caprica says something about God and Batlar says "You know, he really doesn't like that name"....is he insinuating that HE (Baltar) is God or that he is an Angel and knows Goid?
Cause that fuckin threw me.
And what the hell was with Kara Thrace? She disappears? What was she? An Angel? A Spirit? A Demon?.....? Since when did Angels shit and piss and have bodily functions humans have....
The last hour of the Finale was way to fuckin wack and weird and didn't make sense.

She was whatever you needed her to be. She did lead them all to their end, the end of their journey. The show left a lot of open doors and you shouldn't try and label it. She was something supernatural, whether it be alien, angel or otherwise.
Watch it again and maybe you'll discover some of the universal truths they used as plot devices. Fantastic conclusion. |

What's great is. . . I abstained from this show after the first season. Now I get to watch it all in a row.
I also quit watching Dexter after the first season. i tend to do that with series I like. I fucking HATE waiting till the next week so i will wait a long while and then download a shit load of them and watch them till i am tired of watching them. Lol.
I do love this show though.

Just going through this thread to see what people think about the last season, and I find this:
| iNatan wrote: | | Two guesses from me: Either they can't jump anymore at all, and this is a nice setup for Cavil's expected arrival, and then a war has to occur, or they are setting up the end of the show with the final jump Galactica does is to some special place. |
Looks like I was right  (Don't even remember posting this a year ago...  )

Wasn't the final jump to that planet predictable? I thought it was predictable.
