Last Battlestar of 2008

*sigh* Another great season (mid-season, whatever) finale for Battlestar Galactica.

The Cylons hold Roslin and everyone else hostage but send Adama back to Galactica. The Cylons want the four undercover Cylons in exchange so they can get to Earth. Tory takes the bait and accompanies Xena back to the Cylon baseship. And becomes an uber-bitch as she enjoys being a big deal among the Cylons.

Adama plans a rescue mission, and if it fails, they are going to just destroy the baseship, and everyone on it. Tigh tries to convince Adama not to do the mission - and tells him he's a Cylon. Oh Lord that was a good scene. Adama just did not want to believe it. Poor guy. Girlfriend held hostage by the Cylons and now his BFF is one. He totally breaks down.

But Tigh is all, Look, threaten to kill me and maybe the Cylons will give in. Tigh also gives up Chief and Anders as the other Cylons still on the Galactica. So Adama threatens to throw them all out an airlock if they don't get the hostages.

Starbuck's Viper of Mystery is suddenly picking up a signal that she thinks is from Earth. They share this information with the Cylons and make a nice little truce. The Four are granted amnesty, and they all go to Earth together.

The fleet jumps to Earth. This is terribly exciting and there is much celebrating at its discovery. But things can't end happily right? Well, Earth is all frakked up and destroyed and desolate, and has probably been through a nuclear holocaust.

Sad horns.
