tzikeh | Spoilerstar Galactica - now with extra spoilers!

Under the cut, IN INVISO-TEXT, are two things: the answer to the question everyone is asking from last night, and then a huge, huge amount of description of the final episode from someone who saw an advance screening DVD (check the Chicago Tribune to verify that a large number of the DVDs have, indeed, been sent out.)

There is a big bold line under the cut that shows you where to stop highlighting the inviso-text if you only want last night's question answered and nothing more, so don't worry about getting more spoiled than you want to. Though there may be reactions in comments, which I can't control. :)

Starbuck re-appears in the final minutes of the episode, in her Raptor, says that she has found the way to Earth, and she is going to lead everyone there. In other words? NOT DEAD.

STOP highlighting here if you don't want the big honkin' finale spoilers.

Tory, Tigh, Anders, and Chief are (apparently) Cylons. In the finale, all four of them start to hear music that only they can hear. They say that its like a bit of a song heard in childhood but disappears once they begin to get a handle on it. Tori, Tigh, and Anders are having trouble sleeping because of it. Tigh tells Adama about it, but Tigh is acting so unhinged that no one else takes any notice. In the last fifteen minutes, all four of them leave what they're doing (each in a different place on the ship) and congregate in an abandoned room, where they proceed to flip out. Unsurprisingly, Anders and Tigh are angry after all the crap they've been through: Tigh mentions that he's been in wars and fought in the service for over two decades, and Anders says that he can't believe he watched friends die on Caprica, and it's come to this. The Chief is more resigned, and Tory's just freaked out. The Chief's the one who says, finally, "We're Cylons. And we've been from the start."

Anders and Tory are having an affair.

Lee screws Roslin over at Baltar's trial. Unfortunately, I don't know the details here.

Meanwhile, Roslin has a vision: She is in the Opera House (on Kobol) on the top floor, and she sees Hera running down a corridor on the first floor. Roslin starts to run to the staircase that leads to the first floor, and sees Boomer across the way, also on the top floor. They both look at each other, then start running down the stairs after Hera. Hera is running towards this door filled with light, but before she gets there, Six picks her up. Then Roslin comes out of her vision. Roslin and Boomer confront Six, and they all agree that it wasn't a dream, that they were all there in a shared reality. Later, Six and Gaius walk with Hera through the door. They look up and see the Final Five, all bathed in light just as Three saw them. We do not see their faces, which puts a "maybe" spin on Tory, Tigh, Anders, and Chief, because this scene takes place *after* their scene, so if it's true that they are Cylons, there's no reason to hide their faces anymore.

And that's all, folks!

ETA: Checking veracity, but it's looking more and more like these spoilers are true. Here is more on the finale from industry folks who have advance screeners. Everything they say works with these spoilers.

Roush:
Anyone who thinks Starbuck’s ultimate destiny (a phrase repeated so often I sometimes felt I’d stumbled into an episode of Heroes) was to disintegrate into a million little pieces doesn’t know this show. Anyone who can figure out who and what was waiting for her on the other side, and why, is welcome to explain it to me. And I guarantee nobody will be able to predict the twists in the March 25 season finale, which will make you question everything you thought you knew about nearly everyone and everything. My jaw is still smarting from gaping in astonished disbelief.

Tribune:
Q. What were your favorite parts of the two-part season finale?

A. The last two episodes contain some great Saul Tigh scenes (including one with Caprica Six), an intriguing scene involving Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell), Caprica Six (Tricia Helfer) and Athena (Grace Park), and there is one scene in the finale, which is several minutes long, in which Jamie Bamber hits it so far out of the park that I think the ball landed in another galaxy. In every way, from the plot to the performances to the dialogue to the closing revelations, the season finale is simply enthralling. Kudos to Mark Verheiden and the "Battlestar" writing staff.

Q. Would you like to leave us with a cryptic clue?

A. Why yes, thank you. One final clue – music is a major thread in the last episode of the season.

Raptor? Where'd she get one of those? She was in a Viper.

Anyway, thank you SO much for posting this. I 'quit fandom' (not just this fandom. All of fandom. This is the second time in two months I'd been gut-punched like this) yesterday after this ep, and couldn't find anything telling me if this was final or not one way or another.
