Battlestar Galactica Season Finale Mindfrak ...

The following post is going to discuss the season finale of Battlestar Galactica. If you haven't watched it yet, stop reading this and go watch it! There are some massive spoilers ahead ...

So the mystery of the music in the ship was solved, and what an amazing mystery it was! It turns out that Chief, Saul, Sam and Tori are all Cylons! That's four of the final five, and with the return of Starbuck, it seems that she could be the fifth. The final season (not to be seen until January 2008!) is going to be a barn-burner, that's for sure.

There was also something interesting happening with Roslin, Sharon, and Caprica, as it turns out that they're all sharing the concert hall visions. Perhaps even Hera as well, Sharon's half-Cylon, half-Human hybrid baby. The visions center on Hera, and we've been told that she's very important, but this latest revelation just confused the hell out of me. I could understand Hera's importance if she were the only hybrid, but if the Chief is a Cylon ... that means his baby is a hybrid too! Plot hole, or important development? I'm not entirely sure.

Where does the show go from here? The "Caprica" spin-off has been shelved, and the word is that Season Four will be the last. Given that they appear to be very close to Earth now, it sounds like that's the case. But there's one more adventure in store for us before next winter ... there's a BSG movie coming in the fall that will focus on the Pegasus, but also adding one more piece to the puzzle for the new season. I can hardly wait!
