That's my understanding... Just because Baltar's "head six" was only seen by Baltar, that doesn't mean that all angels are like that...
But how do they explain Starbuck being the harbinger of death? If you had to blame anyone, might as well be Chief Tyrol.
I can relate to Starbuck's greatest fears - I too fear that I will be forgotten when I'm no longer around. So that beat I can relate to. Lee's final goodbye to Starbuck "You will not be forgotten, Kara Thrace." was touching. So was Ander's comments to Starbuck - "See you on the other side."
Very interesting way they mixed the scientific realm with the spiritual.
Loved Cavil's reaction when he realized that immortality was no longer within his grasp.
Also loved the use of the old centruian models.
Was the final episode what I expected? No. Did it make me feel uncomfortable? Yes.
Was the ending a fitting ending to the series? Absolutely.
So all along, the show had a totally nihilistic feel to it- no matter how hard one tries, you can't escape the dark. But in the end, all that was changed to a more existentialistic view - mankind was able to transcend their pending doom.
Ron D. Moore's cameo at the end was a clever touch too.
It was a great show. The best Scifi show I've ever gotten into. Possibly my favorite show ever.
So say we all.
