What will be the very last line spoken on BSG?

[TPL2008]

The most obvious one has to be:

All of this has happened before and will happen again.

Perhaps another will be:

By your command.

Though that hasn't been used much in the new series.

The other possibility is that it will be something completely off the radar, like Adama saying:

Gods I need to pee. Before he rushes off.

[Osprey]

by you command was the last line for the miniseries and has since almost completely disappeared, so prolly not ...

i'm as sick of athhbaatwha as i am about final cylon speculation [see my sig.!] so i sincerely hope not ...

fwiw, i simply don't think rdm puzzles over these details as much as he tries to wrap up the multiple arcs he has left, hence the last line will be something one step from random, and potentially pretty banal ...

[genji2000]

"Are you alive?"?

[Osprey]

Gods that would be trite ...


/so i can see them doing it ...

[genji2000]

Gods that would be trite

Thanks. :)

[Stairway]

Perhaps something very profound followed by
"So say we all".

[bazzyb]

Maybe ".......nothing but the rain......"

[Jamie]

The other obvious one would be "sometimes you gotta roll a hard six" and that will almost certainly feature in the final eps. but whether im not so sure you could fit it in as the final line.

[Biozombie]

So, where the frak is Earth then?

[hewkii9]

"What'd you find, Hera?"

"Cylon frakker!"

[Prolescum]

lee adama-
'She said I'm a what?'
fade to black.

[navalspacefanatic82]

This time we break the cycle and create our own destiny and create new hope for the new generations.
Newly elected President Lee Adama
Earth

[leland_starkiller]

I'm thinking...frak. Short, sweet, and to the point ;)

[Joe Beaudoin Jr.]

"Oh, Bill..."

[genji2000]

"Oh, Bill..."

Nah, I don't think Tigh'll make it through to the end.

[Zompton]

I think it might possibly end with "So say we all", but i really hope not because I'm hoping for an eerie ending.

[Neakal]

Nah, I don't think Tigh'll make it through to the end.

Could be Laura and that she says it when she and Adama finally get close and cozy :lol:

[Pnutmaster]

"Hmm, that got violent very quickly."

"Ah well, time to start anew."

[genji2000]

"Look, cock: chip, head, head, chip."

[smelly_feet]

"I'll miss him."

"We'll have to wait and see"

"Would someone please clean up after boxey?!"

[genji2000]

"She's your daughter."

[smelly_feet]

"Adama... come down for breakfast"

"Mom you wouldnt believe the dream I just had!"

[Malcolm]

"And all happened before and all will happen again."

[thevarrior]

To completely frak with our minds....

Twenty-five years later....

"Mr. Data--I mean, Mr. Gaeta--set the stardrive at warp 5, engage. Time to boldly go where no man has ever gone before..."

"And all happened before and all will happen again."

Please no, I'm sick and tired of that.

[Joe Beaudoin Jr.]

"Where are the nuclear wessels?"

[smelly_feet]

Data....for the last time, that's not why they called her "Head six". You are ordered to drop that subject!

...yes captain.

[djsunyc]

"how's annie...how's annie....how's annie?"

[The Dirt]

Teacher - "And that, boys and girls, is the story of how the Battlestar Galactica found Earth. Any questions, class?"
Student - "Uhh, I still don't get it... Was she a chip in his head or was he just imagining her?"

[XenonRexroth]

I'd rather the actors in the last scene use body language or no actors and maybe some well done symbolism/imagery relating to whatever because as it the presumably series finale it should hold weight and not be some cheesy cliffhanger so they can pump out another paycheck.

[The Dirt]

How about interpretive dance or miming?

[genji2000]

How about Boomer doing pilates in a pair of boxers?

[bazzyb]

How about Boomer doing pilates in a pair of boxers?


I like the sound of that one :). My nightmare vision of the last last scene would be ruined by Timbo bursting onto the set shouting something about Boomer, never mind Tigh not being a cylon before being dragged away by security

[The Dirt]

Boxers? We don't need no stinkin' boxers!

[genji2000]

Stinkin'? STINKIN'?!

Ah the sweet smell of... no... where was I?

[smelly_feet]

Stinkin'? STINKIN'?!

Ah the sweet smell of... no... where was I?


stinkin or shrinkin?

shrinkin is A-OK with me.

[Stairway]

Maybe something like the finale scene of Charmed!

"And they all made tons and tons of babies"

[Bluce_Ree]

I'd like the last scene to be Leoban stood over the charred remains of the humans going 'HumLOLns'.

[The Dirt]

The end of BSG: forward 5,000 years to the next cycle... the Battlestar Kursplactica is ready to be turned into a museum and we see Commander Caprica Sixus walking down the hallways. A young pilot comes jogging by. "What do you hear, Leoben?" "Nothing but the rain, sir." Que dramatic music, and count down to our minds getting blown by the sheer stupidity of it all.

[smelly_feet]

I really hope that the actual toasters, that is the centurions, become more significant in their role. So far the skin jobs have been the main focus. At the end I hope the see the robots cleaning up the remains of the humans and skin jobs and setting up for the next cycle - then again pretending to be the servants. To me bsg was supposed to be man vs. machine.

Just to be dull and serious for a moment - for me, from pretty early on, it was meant to be man vs. man. The Cylons were always a mirror of man's soul.

[13th_Cylon]

Britney Spears is the final cylon.....after singing "oops i did it again... i made you believe that you are more than just friends." This is a direct reference to the relationship between the Humanity and Cylonity. This has been the whole focus of BSG from the beginning. After she finishes singing, she gets out of the car and the screen fades......and the whole human/cylon cycle starts again.

[smelly_feet]

True. Man vs. Man driven by fear of the unknown and each side paranoid that the other was out the get them. I do recall the cylons making comments on the base ship to the effect we better get them before they get us.

[jasond22303]

heres my prediction: Earth revealed to be original homeworld, they leave to find the 13th Colony, they find the 13th colony (possibly kobol), right before they land Roslin is killed, and Bill Adama passes away in his sleep little bit after they land.

It ends with somone saying "But parents have to die. It's the only way children come into their own"

LoL not sure if this would be a good ending or not but hey just a possiblity I thought up

[The Dirt]

Thinking is the first step towards doing.



Makes you think.
Also, makes youhttp://scarletuser.com/images/smilies/emote_head_explode.gif

[Pnutmaster]

Knowing there's a trap is the first step in evading it...

But unfortunately kamala isn't spice.

[Bluce_Ree]

It ends with somone saying "But parents have to die. It's the only way children come into their own"

ugh! I'd literally burn all my BSG discs and then go for hypnotherapy so that I'd forget the whole series.

I think the only satisfying ending would be this;


Adama wakes up, sweating and afraid. He gets out of bed and looks in the mirror whilst splashing himself with water.

The next shot is him walking out of his door and being met by a two-eyed Tigh who says 'you look like you've seen a ghost'.

Adama replies 'yeah I feel like I have'.

Tigh's all like 'well anyway, you need to get focussed. Today's a big day for you. It's not every day a Battlestar gets decommissioned' just as they are walking past the gift-shop.

AKA Lolz it was all a dream.

[timbo]

You guys should all read "The Road" by Cormack McCarthy. It is a really spare story of a father carrying his son to safety. BSG will end in a similar way, I think, with Adama and Roslyn the parents crrying the fleet to safety.

I think the last line will be the same as the first, as someone has already said, "are you alive?".

[Stairway]

I don't think "are you alive? will be the last line of the show, but I do think it will be the first line in the last episode. Cliffhanger from last week's, ... "are you alive?" That would be neat.

[smelly_feet]

I predict an ending similar to "Heart of Darkness".
The ending will be a commentary about man's inner evil...or something like that.

[Bluce_Ree]

The ending will be Kara Thrace chased through a robotics factory by Leoban. She'll get a big bit of shrapnel in her leg which'll slow her down but just before he gets to her she'll crush him in a crushy machine and will say 'You're terminated, fucker'.

Either that or he'll fall into the furnace of a steel workings.

[The Dirt]

Good thing this show isn't made in Hollywood, or that would certainly be true. Can someone tell me how many Hollywood movies end in a factory/steel yard/warehouse/mill/seaport? If the place is abandoned but somehow still fully functional or fully functional but completely vacated (probably due to the fact that "sh*t is about to go down"). We had a bit of this in the Mini.

Maybe, we'll get to see Galactica's engine room for the first time. Adama will shove some Cylon's head into the FTL drive, and the head will jump into the middle of a star. This severed head will somehow have a major adverse reaction (probably due to the silica pathways) with the star and it will go supernova causing the fleet to have to jump in the last possible second (because any second sooner would not have the same dramatic effect). As Adama starts to walk away, the Cylon headless corpse comes back to life and Adama will have to beat it with a flashlight or a rusty pipe. Finally, once it's pretty clear that the (final) Cylon is dead, Adama will slowly walk into the sunset (or in lieu of sunset since this is a battlestar engine room, an excessively lit hallway). Fin

lol that would actually be quite entertaining

:D

[BSGfan-atic]

How about something similar to the last "real" Dune book? The humans and the Cylons settle down to live someplace together, but some humans jump away in the Galactica because they just can't trust the Cylons. In that case, the last words will be "Jumping in three...two...one..." This is what the most current Duncan Idaho ghola did with Bene Geserit rebels and a sandworm, at the end of Dune: Chapterhouse.

[thevarrior]

'You're terminated, fucker'.

'You're terminated, frakker.'

Post fixed :D

[The Dirt]

I don't get it.

[TAZ-99]

{voice of reporter}
"Admiral Adama...you've just saved the human race and brought peace to the galaxy...what are you going to do next?..."

{Adama replies}
"I'm going to Coney Island to ride me a Cylon...I mean Cyclone."

{Laughter - corks popping - fades to black}


Although Ed Olmos had the best ending with George Bush blowing up the Galactica and his aide being the final cylon. LOL

[Captain Romulus]

It'll never happen, but I think it would be cool (nice homage and I think EJO could pull it off):

"Fleeing from Cylon tyrrany, the last battlestar, Galactica, leads a rag-tag, fugitive fleet on a lonly quest: a shining planet...known as Earth..."

[pagad]

This is an old post of timbo's, but I've only just noticed it so what the heck. It's probably the bleakest, most depressing book I've ever read. Really struggled to finish it.

...

Carry on.

"Home."

Everyone knows that they don't have to give a reason for an edit, right?

[Captain Romulus]

Based on EJO's statements at DragonCon, my theory is officially DOA...

[The Dirt]

"Well, looks like we're finally here. Too bad there's only 5 of us left."

[genji2000]

"Are we there yet?"

[Vesihiisi]

Frak! Now I'll have to start all over again. Well so be it, ... Let there be Light!

[Prolescum]

'...sorry for any inconvenience caused'

[genji2000]

"OK - you're absolutely sure this is the one, right?"

[Stairway]

"Yes sir" = My mom's guess.

[hechtrolle]

Something non-commital like "yeah", followed by some huge, epic, retina-detaching camera work.

[Prolescum]

'...that'll be the morning sickness'

fade out

"Frak you all."
