Wow. Wow. Wow! Damn. Just watched the season finale of Battlestar Galactica, and damn was it cool. The overall awesomeness of it cannot be exaggerated, it was just so incredibly wonderful. The first half was a great court scene with lawyers and witnesses and impassioned speeches, made all the more interesting in the context of the last 40,000 or so humans left in the universe trying to keep some form of real law and justice.

The second half of the episode was the payoff for.... Well, three years of storyline. I suppose technically they only started this storyline a season or so ago, but it involves truths that reflect back to the beginning of the show. I wonder if the powers that be knew from the start of the series that this was the way it was going to go down.... Of course there's still another major question. They told of four out of five in that category, and I have some guesses for the last.

But that's not all for this episode. The last minute or two gives one last reveal that is a very nifty case of tricking the audience. I don't want to say more, because I'm hoping someone might read this and decide to watch the show from the beginning, and I want them to have the same surprises I did.
