Watching the Watchtower: Yes, I've Seen the "Battlestar Galactica" Season Finale

Since I've already gotten dozens of emails today asking if I've seen the third season finale of Battlestar Galactica, I'll answer an emphatic yes here for all to see.

That said, no, I can't tell you what happens and, no, I am contractually obligated not to reveal any spoilers, but all I will say is this: do not, under any circumstances (save maybe an invasion into your home by the Cylon fleet), miss the final five minutes of Sunday night's BSG episode ("Crossroads, Part Two").

The episode's final moments will blow your mind and forever alter the series, even more so than last season's wrap-up in which the show jumped a year into the future and showed our favorite Colonial Fleeters living on New Caprica. Uh-uh. That doesn't compare with the complete and utter mindmelt that's in store for Battlestar Galactica fans on Sunday.

You've been warned. Miss it at your own peril.

Damn! I knew you'd already seen it. Lucky bastard. I can't wait to see it. Can't you give us a little hint? Do we get to see the final five Cylon models???

I didn't know you had seen this! And I've spent all week looking for someone -- ANYone -- to discuss it with!

And, yes, fans will go insane.

I am so excited for the finale, and considering the finale spoiler is on aintitcoolnews.com, I'm quite surprised with myself that I've showed such self-restrain and not spoiled the finale for myself.

Warning should be given: The episode is scheduled to run long. So if you think you've set your machinery so as not to miss the last five minutes, you might miss the last three minutes.

Dude? "Set your machinery"? What century are you living in? It's called TIVO. Look into it. Guess what? It even knows BSG is going run over 3 minutes.

Having heard how great this series is from a number of people and finally clueing in, I've spent the last two weeks watching it in its entirety from the first mini-series right up to Crossroads Part 1. Time well wasted! I'm looking forward to the finale, but at the same time preparing myself for the withdrawals I experience every time I digest a whole series or season in a short period of time.

Wes, dude, I live in the century where the networks send out misinformation about start and stop times, so that even with the programmed overrun, you *still* miss the last minute of the show. You don't watch anything on NBC or ABC, I gather.
