To borrow a phrase from the Star Trek: The Next Generation finale, all good things must end. Battlestar Galactica has been a very good thing and its ending leaves its upcoming TV movie The Plan and upcoming prequel Caprica with a lot to live up to. So join us as we jump the old girl on one last suicide mission because that’s just who Bill Adama and his crew are.

At last, the first half of the Battlestar Galactica series finale. We have flashbacks, tough decisions and folks trying to get right with the gods. Join us as the old battlestar prepares for her last gasp.

This may be the most spoiler-filled Galactica of all time, so consider this your warning. If you don’t want to know how nearly everything connected with this show started, look away now.

Our standard warning about character deaths, major spoilers and the further desolation and destruction of the human race here. We mean it. Do not read any further unless you want to know the fates that befall some of our favorite and least favorite humans and Cylons.

And we begin with our usual disclaimer about spoilers. I will say a couple of things in the space. One of the best episodes of this show, I thought. And for BSG, that’s saying a lot. Things like The Final Cylon and the search for a new home are barely touched on here and they didn’t need to be. So much going on, great use of even the minor characters. And the series regulars hit it out of the park as always.

Guess What’s Coming To Dinner

I really thought BSG amped it up this week after some kind of slow episodes. And I’m sure I’m not the first to compliment Gaeta on his excellent singing voice.
Spoilers after the jump…

Faith
We are at 39,675. You know maybe humanity should start a few more of those love cults like Gaius Baltar has going.
Hey, a Nana Visitor sighting! Good to see you, girl. I don’t know whether to be sadder that her character is dying of cancer or that she’s drinking the  Baltar Kool-Aid. Roslin tries to shut off the patient’s radio and she freaks out.

The Road Less Traveled

Humanity is at 39,676. Big shock, the crew of the Demetrius has reached the boiling point as Starbuck can offer them nothing but paintings of the solar system.
Helo wants to be a good XO, but Starbuck’s seeming insanity makes that impossible. After being ordered to jump to the same place for a third time, he’s finally had enough. To complicate things, they find a damaged Raider with Kara’s good friend Leoben aboard.
