So 'Rome' is gone. Which, naturally makes me immensely sad. It's good that it ended in its prime, because it left nothing but shiny images in my memories, but there's always a bit of sorrow when good things go away. And 'Rome' was a mightily good thing. It will be sorely missed.

Uh yeah I agree with everything you said about BSG. That finale was pretty much awesome! Lee definitely redeemed himself. And I'm glad Baltar wasn't found guilty (although I didn't think he would be).

Baltar is kinda like a cockroach. Almost impossible to kill. There was no way they could execute him just like that. I figured that even if they convicted him, something would happen to keep him alive longer.

Well, he got acquitted, seemingly elevated to the status of an underground messiah somewhere along the line and everything is dandy. I bet the Imaginary Six will get a kick out of this whole mini-Jesus business.

So true. There should be more. Many many many more. Or they should make them longer.

Now I'm all torn up. Go watch the episode now, or wait for the subtitles? Hmmm. If I watch it now, I'll have it NOW which is obviously a preferable thing, but I might miss a few lines, because, paradoxically, British English is for me the hardest English available (even the Irish English is somehow better). What to do, what to do?

Oh, screw it, I'm watching it now.

The hardest and the prettiest. So true.
It would be all fine if David Tennant didn't have the tendency to speak about million words per minute. Which is great and absolutely awesome and I love it, but it makes me miss a word here and there. But I'm already getting hang of that.

Oh, I certainly did. Now waiting impatiently for the next one.

I'm so terribly terribly sorry for answering so late. The real life was kinda hectic lately and it simply slipped my mind. Sorry.

I read your reaction post and I see where your beef with the episode is. And I kinda understand why you might think that. That is, I still loved it but I can see how it might have looked from different perspective. Frankly, about Starbuck showing out of the blue at the end, I'm still on the fence about that. The new season will have to give me some good explanations.
On the whole, however, even if the episode wasn't as mind-blowing as season 2 finale (dude, I wrote a 3000-plus-words-long review of that one - it blown me away that much) I still liked it very much.

Glad it didn't drive you away.
I admit season 3 had a few lower points. I hope season 4 makes up for them.
