Was supposed to be the City of the Gods wasn't it? Baltar and Six were in the opera house, which is next to the forum, according to my Kobol A-Z.



Exactly!



By the look of things, and adding in some of Elosha and Roslin's comments from Part 1, they were in the opera house, rather than the tomb. As to the contents of the cot, is it the baby Boomer, the baby Six, the baby Athena, or is it a map of the universe with a big "X" over the earth? My head still hurts!

I took it to be the Tomb, as that has greater significance for the future (Earth, et al) combined with the future generation of Humano-Cylons (as represented by Valerii's forthcoming child).

Also, it looks identical to the flash vision of the tomb Roslin had in Part 1.

am still not sure about what context six meant when she talked about the first one being here soon. The baby or what ever was already there. I think she meant the boss of the cylons. Has anybody replayed that bit again yet?

I haven't watched it again but I reckon it's to do with baby Boomer alright.

Adamas bullet points looked to be in survivable places, ie not heart shots. I think it was 2 left mid torso.

She's referring to the baby.

Mr 1 out of 5 has just voted! this show must really be annoying you, you'll be gutted when the next series comes out!

Just say "hi" to spiderr from the Sci-Fi BB...

Just read this on the scifi board and happen to agree

Shots in the gut are (from what I understand, which may be very little) very slow to kill - but quite agonising. So it's perfectly possible that he could survive IF no vital organs are hit (the blood looked red rather than black which suggests his kidneys/liver werent hit) and the bleeding is brought under control. The pain could have caused him to pass out, which is why he looked so lifeless.

I suspect it's a 'does EJO want to come back for another season' type cliffhanger - him and Roslin are likely to be the most expensive actors to bring back, and they are now both in situations where they can be written out if needed....

Not necessarily. People on this planet can and do survive worse.

Very true, watch late night Discovery (can't remember the name of the show) and you'll see ppl coming into the OR with more that two bullet wounds.

BTW

Did anyone notice Baltar's "Christ crucified" collapse after getting out of the Raptor? Falling with ankles crossed, arms outspread, almost like he was ready to be nailed to a cross?

Nice little Godhood image again....

point 1, OK your are probably right, is it boomer/helos or six baltars.

point 2, Hi spiderr, you must like this board, it is warm. (sorry UK Bo Selecta reference)

Hah yeah thats exactly what I thought when I saw it.

[MattLee]

I've just had a thought, was Baltar looking at his own baby? There are a whole bunch of identical #6s - he may never have slept with the same one twice...

Boomers IMO.

I'm afraid it did not score as favorably as I hoped, too many unresolved things, I don't think anything was answered really, nothing was clarified beyond what could be deduced.

I've LOVED the entire series, but I honestly feel the last episode was an anti-climax, 3/5 for me. On the other hand, it HAS to continue to a second series if only to clarify and tie up loose ends..

A great episode, but I prefered the first part and Hand of God is my favorite overall.

Bring on series 2...

I'd assumed it was the first crossbreed between Cylons & Humans (i.e. Boomer & Helo's progeny).

You'll notice that Helo prevented Boomer being killed by Starbuck. Perhaps Helo & Boomer will make their way to Kobol, as I can't imagine the pregnant Boomer being welcomed on Galactica anytime soon.

I comfort myself with the fact that he's rather outnumbered by the 3s 4s & 5s.

1) Do you have to be registered to vote?
2) Are IP addresses logged when voting?

I have to contest this point, Boomer's second shot was better placed because she walked right up to him.

Spoilers beware...........








Come on guys, Adama has got to be a cylon. No way is he coming back after being blown away like that.

As for Crashdown, he's got to relinquish command to Tyrol if they are going to stand a chance in season two.

My poor guy! He is not a great leader
