Yeah, it was affecting at the end. But, I mean, that was kind of expected, I guess. Zarek, though? Pffft. Good riddance. Aw, good-bye Original Apollo, though.
Guess imminent death is a good distraction.
Right?
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I suppose that stems from shows that never end keeping characters around for longer than they reasonably should have existed
Doesn't it feel like a fire sale on deaths of named characters, though?

It does, though I am thinking this might be it for a while. I don't know why. I just do. Well, maybe because the big coup is over.

Well, Richard Hatch had a good meaty run.

I should say, I enjoyed Zarek as a character - good riddance within the frame of the story.

Right - Zarek was a very interesting character - and Richard Hatch played him really well.

I was about to say "I don't expect them to stop at Wash and Book", except I don't think they've reached that level, yet. When one of the final Five go, or Lee (again and for realz) or Adama or Roslin bite it (or Starbuck, again). But, I guess I've read the interviews, whatnot, and expected the redshirts to start being replaced with regular cast members.
I really truly thought Roslin was toast last ep (before the previews spoiled it) and thought there was a chance that Adama was toast for this ep and that Roslin would indeed unleash holy helly on his behalf.
But, no, I'm personally not getting the "everything must go" vibe.

Loved this ep!
All of Tyrol's crawling through the infrastructure had me shouting "Jeffries tubes!!" at the screen. I figured it was RDM's little tribute to Star Trek, although being BSG, the tubes were really tight and a bitch to get through.

Dee, Feliz, Zarek, Laird, Skulls (he did buy it, right?), the Quorum (I count them as one), and maybe others whose names I didn't know because I'm bad at it since the final eps started is what gave me that feeling. But, yeah, they can't keep going at this rate.

And yet - unless Sam is dead they didn't kill one Cylon, did they?
