It's been an eventful few weeks. Now that the 40,000 remaining humans and the rebel cylons have left the nuclear wasteland that is Earth, the question is, "What next"? For 3 or 4 years, the humans kept themselves going with the promise of Earth driving them forward. Now, they are a group without a mission (a reviewer at the AV Club pointed out that Pegasus suffered a similar affliction, and look how well that turned out), and tensions are running high. Most humans aren't happy about trusting the rebel cylons, because getting over a near genocide and an oppressive regime are not things easily forgiven. But cylon technology is better than human tech, and Adama concedes that, with limited fuel, they will need to exploit every advantage they have if they hope to find a habitable planet soon.If you thought this series was dark before, you haven't seen anything yet. After 4 seasons of planning, Tom Zarek finally got what he wanted, a revolution that put him in charge. And right alongside him was Felix Gaeta, one of the most idealistic characters on the series, whose faith in everything was lost earlier this season, along with his leg. **HUGE FRAKKING SPOILER ALERT** I actually was hoping that the execution of Adama had actually happened. Don't get me wrong, I love Admiral Adama, and the fleet would be in trouble without him, but that is exactly why I wanted him to die. First of all, it would prove once and for all that Galactica has some of the biggest metaphoric balls out there, and it would cause a ton of problems for the crew. And it's not like Edward James Olmos wouldn't be out of work anyway; the show is at its end.
I'm excited to see how the other 3 cylons will factor into the ending, and I can't wait to see how everything ends.
Up next: Getting back to the island...
