Well, Hallo Thar Battlestar Galactica!
Last week I was a sicky. Complete with fever. I am actually very proud of my fever, as I always feel it gives me the green light to fully indulge in the sickness. So, fever established, I lazed around on my couch, snuggly blanket and tea at the ready, and decided to give this show people keep talking about a try. I watched a lot of Battlestar

So glad your on board BSG! It is my favorite show, even more than Doctor
Who I must admit. I'm hoping for a hopeful ending too. I don't need a hunky dory ending, just something that shows a hint that the cycle of violence ends and that love can prevail.
Helo and Athena are the most hopeful relationship on the show. I was so struck by them playing with their daughter after discovering the ruin that was Earth. They already had their happy ending They are a family together, and whatever stuff happens, that's all that matters to them. It's a hope that human and cylons can come together and break down the barriers of hate.
That's why I am particularly terrified for them. I keep on going back to what Head!Six has been telling Baltar the whole time, that Hera is "their" child that they will rais.
Unlike you, I feel certain that Baltar will live. He is the cockroach, for better and for worse. I do think that Baltar has had moments of grace, I actually teared up when he told Gaeta that "I know who you are." And his compassion for the Six on Pegasus really did a lot to humanize him. Maybe he does need a grand noble gesture to be truly redeemed, but I'm just not sure it is truly in him. I just come back to the Opera House and think that its going to somehow end with Baltar and a Six rasing Hera.
