Battlestar Galactica

The reimagined TV series Battlestar Galactica is nearing to it's end. It is so good, that even at the point that we know the ending is immanent, nothing is clear. Earth was destroyed in a nuclear holocaust, millenia ago, the promised land is not there, and on top of everything, they found out that the Thirteenth tribe (or as it's also known - the tribe of Cobalt) is the original human population. All the other colonies come from there (or here, depends on how you choose to look at things), among them, of course, the original Cylons as well!


The ending of the story is all about the Cylons. Everybody thought that there are 12 humanoid models, but it became clear that there is one more, one called Daniel. Nobody knows who he is (or maybe she, because that name is kinda unisex), and to the very end, we are going to be entertained by the unveiling of his identity and the philosophical dilemas about what is life, who can be called alive, and who's still a machine, etc.

The suspense is present, there is a lot of action yet to happen (for example there is a new storyline coming from the base ship that is not with the fleet), we are going to see a lot of boundaries that are going to come down. I personally can't wait for the new episode to air! :)
