• Hello and welcome to MSFC. We are a small and close knitted community who specialises in modding the game Star Trek Armada 2 and the Fleet Operations modification, however we have an open field for discussing a number of topics including movies, real life events and everything in-between.

    Being such a close community, we do have some restrictions, including all users required to be registered before being able to post as well as all members requiring to have participated in the community for sometime before being able to download our modding files to name the main ones. This is done for both the protection of our members and to encourage new members to get involved with the community. We also require all new registrations to first be authorised by an Administrator and to also have an active and confirmed email account.

    We have a policy of fairness and a non harassment environment, with the staff quick to act on the rare occasion of when this policy is breached. Feel free to register and join our community.

Battlestar Galactica Finds Earth.

My take on it is as follows:

- That clearly was atomic dirt in Adama's fist.
- Now they're frakked hardcore.
- I'm willing to bet it was the other Cylons who done it, as revenge for the Hub
- The frakkers just HAD to ruin Roslin/Adama and the happy ending -- the writers are good, they almost lost me on New Caprica, just about lost me in the Temple of Five, really did lose me after Starbuck died (took me six months to watch the last three episodes of S3, and then only because my wife asked me if I'd taped it), and only just now got me back. They're SERIOUSLY frakking with me and I'm sorta bitter and resentful that they can't just tell the story, they have to tell the bitter and resentful story. Like, would it seriously kill them to let things go pleasantly and quietly instead of inserting another frakking cliffhanger? They know they have the audience. Why not make the last set of episodes about "now what" WITH a nice, fresh, healthy Earth, instead of "now what" without it?

All told, I was really, really happy --dancing just like Lee Adama, only on my coffee table instead-- and they just couldn't help but deliver one last kick below the belt. They shot the Old Man and I kept watching. They went 'one year later' and I never missed an episode --or a webisode, for that matter. They killed Ellen and Kat, Cally and Cain --and Starbuck. And now they killed Earth.

I don't know, this one's a step too far for my liking. With any luck, Admiral Janeway will pop in via temporal shuttlecraft implausibility, turn out to be the fifth of the Final Five, and take Voyager ---er, I mean, the Fleet--- home again. At this point, I'm not sure I care enough to find out.

:D

Do we know the earth iss all radioactive, I thought it looked allright just a bit old. Presumably if it was super radio active they would not have stood around 4 so long.
I was expecting the cylons to stab them in the back through the whole celebration scene

The radioactivity was implied by the presence of the Colonial equivalent of a Geiger counter clicking away next to Adama's clenched fist. Doesn't matter how hot the soil is--any radioactivity means no growing plants and no future. Plus I didn't see any plants in the background. Not even grass. So it implies that, whatever happened nothing survived.

:D

Just saw it yesterday omg!

It raised a few questions i thought:-
Was that the Golden Gate Bridge right at the end?
Who built (or rebuilt) Starbuck's Viper?
Is Sol still the XO?
Why was the Crucifix shown? (it seemed almost staged)
What happend to the population (ie was there a war)
This list could go on

I really cant wait nearlly a year for rest:x

All in all a great mid season cliff-hanger

When I saw that, they were finally reaching earth, I knew that the Writer were about to make a joke out of our imaginations, not to mention the music going from a happy tune, to a somewhat bad tone. Not to mention, when they showed the device that read for Radio-activity and the shot panned out to show a nuked Earth, I just started laughing hard, and replied to my parents, "Oh my god! we nuked ourselves!"


-Does that make me Heartless laughing at the Irony of the situation?

Nope. I laughed, too.

People have been complaining that this scenario was too "liberal" and "pessimistic" and of course "Anti-American", because of the

nuclear deterrence policy of the Republicans. Funny.
