I apologise in advance to those who have suffered trying to make head nor tail of my thoughts.
But that said, I want to stop and discuss the literally game-changing end to season two.
If youre here for the description, it might just be a bit light this time round.
Thats a hell of a lot to wrap your head around, and Ive not quite managed it.
Those thoughts aside, at least for now, it goes without saying that plenty else happened.
There were two crucial developments here, both of which pointed the way to the finale.
And the new planet, he realises, is it.
This, it transpires, is an attempt to rig the election, which initially works.
However, the Cylons then promptly bugger off, for no obvious reason.
This basically highlights that Sharon knew he was a Cylon, and kept schtum.
She gets her usual place in the brig for her troubles.
But then were back to that election.
But then along come the Cylons.
Out of nowhere, they appear en masse, having found New Caprica by accident.
The fleet in the sky, realising they have no chance, jump away, and Baltar surrenders.
Then, with the sky filled with Cylon ships, in come the Centurions to take over New Caprica.
And thats where things were then left for ages.
I dont think I could have coped.
Its a remarkable two-parter in many ways, and not one that endears itself to all.
Im wanted back at my DVD player…
