Best episode, ever!
It was amazing. I totally predicted since like, Season 2, that the earth they would find would be an earth of the future, one that was pretty much devoid of civilization. But I had nooooooo idea that they would get to earth as soon as they did. I thought for sure that they would leave that for the last few episodes. But hot damn, I'm SO curious to see where they'll go from here. I mean seriously!
Tigh and Adama were brilliant in this episode. Saul Tigh has balls of steel!
I cried during the scene when everyone was cheering and hugging and all that good stuff. That scene had a serious impact given that this is what they've been working for, dying for, all this time. And I felt so happy for them (even while knowing that everything wasn't gonna be all peachy on earth). And then... sucker punch. Ugh. The look on their faces as they stared at a desolate nuclear wasteland of earth. It was like all their hopes and dreams had collapsed. And the music! The score for the episode was probably one of the best, during the entire run of the show.
Now we have to wait until 2009 to see how this story ends.![]()
