So Say We All: what the frak am I going to do now?

Now that Battlestar Galactica is at an end, it's time to look back at ten of the most memorable moments from the last five years.

1. Starbuck and the Goat. Since this episode is not far into the aseries, we're not so attached to the characters yet. We don't quite understand why Adama would put the whole fleet in danger for one person. This is before we get to know the dynamics. The coolest part of this is Starbuck pulls open the Raider. We get to see the insides of what makes a cylon tick. We see that even though they are engineered, they are also flesh. Plus, Kara learning to fly it is pretty cool. And ingenious when she gets Lee to realize who she is.

2. "No more mister Nice Gaius." It's not anything too important, but it seems as if this line stands out amoun the rest. Gaius is still all paranoid about being found out, as he is for much of the first season. This line just shows Gaius at his most likely breaking point.

3. Watch that towel! The most memorable moment for any BSG fangirl was that moment in "Final Cut" when Lee dropped his towel. That was a killer moment that put the fourm boards ablaze. The TiVos were reround several times. Girls were swooing. When the writer's went on strke and that towel was up for grabs, many, many pencils were sent to win that towel. Forget that hockey game with Chief or that phonecall from Anders. It was all about Apollow's towel. Katee Sackhoff said it right, "When Jamie dropped his towel every girl swooned." There was no better time for a girl watching BSG than the towel scene. All that manly beauty was for us to enjoy and take in.

4. Downloaded. The first time we really get to understand cyclons is during "Downloaded." We see the struggle of Cylons when they have to readjust to their new body. We see Boomer really didn't think she was a cylon and was fighting it as best as she could. We see that Six is trying to help the humans as best as she can without getting caught. Caprica Six and Boomer really want to help the humans as best as possible. It was a new side of things we hadn't seen before. It just made us like Boomer and Caprica Six more when they helped Anders out.

5. Oh no, Baltar won the election and we're stuck on New Caprica. Oh well... WHAT! A year has jumped by!? No one was expecting this. It was quite strange when it happened and all these things had changed we didn't realize about. Lee and Kara were on bad terms, Kara was married to Anders, Lee to Dualla, Lee was fat, and basically everyone was on New Caprica. And then the Cylons attacked. What the frak happened in that year. It was such a shock at the end of the season not to know what had happened, or what would happen after the Cylons attacked.

6. Lee and Kara finally did that and we missed it??? The fleet is back together, Lee is not fat anymore, and to help relieve stress a dance is going onboard the ship. The Old Man kicks Chiefs ass and people are able to releive their stress. Woot. Now, let's find out what really happened between Lee and Kara. At least we get to see the whole of their liason. This is the knowledge the shippers of Lee/Kara have been waiting for since the miniseries. Finally the truth was revealed.

7. Starbuck starts to go crazy and blows herself up. Lee and Kara's relationship has come to a finality. Kara has started to go crazy thinking on what Leoben has been saying. She has been seeing the maelstrom over and over. When Starbuck blows up in the storm from the pressure being too much, the look of pain on Apollo's face is overwhelming. It was quite a shock for her to blow up like that, especially after her and Lee reconciled.

8. Ander's going red-eye. The first four of the final five were revealed at the end of the previous season. Anders, Cheif, Tory and Tigh are all dealing with trying to keep their identites secret while still doing their jobs. Anders didn't want to fight in the battle with the Cylons because he was afraid of turning against the fleet. Luckily Anders was there or the fleet would have been destroyed. When Anders had the staredown with the Raiders and they turned back, we were surprised. Not before have we seen this happen. It was a very welcomed surprise.

9. Earth, destroyed. After so many trials of searching and waiting, the fleet finally finds Earth. However, it has been destroyed by some unknown factor. After all this time and hope there is no Earth to cling to. The fleet has lost their hope. Those who have gone to the ground look off into despair as they glance over the desolate landscape. We are not sure if it is really Earth, we hope it isn't, but those hopes are soon to be dashed.

10. I hate that Dee. She is so awful. I wish she would just di---- *shocked* Did that just happen? From the moment she stopped dating Billy and she started dating Lee she was someone to be hated. From "Sacrifice" on, she was someone to blame for Billy's death. If you asked many a fangirl, you would hear their disdain for Dee. Hatred for her festering. When Dee shot herself after a nice dinner with Lee, it was unexpected. No one knew why should we do that. She had the opportunity to get back together with Lee, a chance any girl would kill for, and she in fact kills herself instead! Not understanding what was going on with Dee, many sat in silent shock and confusion about what had happened. That Dee would actually die was not something that had been seriously thought would happen, let alone a true hope.

These are just a few examples of memorable moments from Battlestar Galactica. Even though the series is now over, these moments as well as others will remain with us long after the show is finished.
