So the rest of the fleet arrives! maybe it isn't time travel!
Neanderthals!
"One-track mind, Doc."
I'd say there was a divine hand at work what with two planets having the SAME FUCKING CONTINENTAL STRUCTURE!!
"Break the cycle" leave it all behind and start over.
Lee's going luddite. Great. I'd rather have modern tools and modern medicine, thank you very much.
I disagree with Lee so intesely I can barely express it.
Nice. Planting people in the various places where we have them pegged as the earliest humans.
Destroying all their ships. Oh, so freaking retarded.
You can have an agrarian society without building cities, with some companion technology.
Didn't none of these twits watch Firefly?
Oh! "See you on the other side"

So what are they doing with the raptors once they land? Burying them somewhere?

Empty ship as thye're getting ready to leave it.. and the Old Man wants to be the last off. His old viper has been saved all this time?
And time for his flashback. And the show bears it out that he isn't a cylon.
I love Daddy Adama so much.
See, Why can't they let some of the spaceborne people live in that agararians ship, or something?
And we look at the old girl one last time.
Sam's flashback... as he prepares to sacrifice all so they are stuck on a one-way trip.
Oh... old school galactica theme music used so wonderfully...
Island off of one of the Northern continents.. He killed his original soulmate, for murdering his more recent wife..
Ah, freaky freaky soulmates, hanging out and having fun in a strip club. Because that's the kind of couple they are.

So, Saul and Ellen are going to have plenty of time together now, eh? They don't look too happy. . ..

Actually, this ending is somewhat anti-climactic in a way. Trading their technology for the chance to start over and let humans evolve the hard way. Again. And, maybe it will happen again as humans experiment with AI. The cycle may be broken for a time but not forever. . ..

"Out of Africa" scene. Cool. And, bittersweetly sad. Poor Adama.

She actually made it, alive, to the final destination! I'll be damned!
It is a lot prettier than "New Caprica"
Gonna call it "Earth" too?
"Welcome to my planet: 'Dirt' as we call it."
Laura's coming up on her last gasp. Hold her close, Bill.
The kids watching Mom and dad in their last moments together.
Lee saying goodby to Bill, as he's getting ready to go with mom. And he kisses Kara goodbye, too.
"Earliest memory" nice bookending, then.
They both know this is Dad's last trip.
"Neither am I"
"Completed my journey" does that mean she's leaving Earth? Or Earth is her final destination?
So their first time was cheating on Zak. This explaisn a lot. Or, no, it wasn't, as Zak woke up a bit, and they came to themselves.
"And I'd better run like a scared rabbit" says Lee, sensibly.
But the chemistry's been there the whole time.
She disappeared.. holy crap, she just... evaporated? She was a ghost the whole time? a manifestation?
That explains the pigeon symbolism, Somewhat.
Laura's decision to help the next Caprican president.
"All the way to the end"
Flying over Lake Victoria, there, with the flamingoes?
The two of them going off to build their death hogan. But she's already gone.
And he's brought his people all this way, and he doesn't need to live anymore.

So, what was Kara? An angel? A manifestation? The messenger of the Gods? She really did just disappear, didn't she?

Ooooh. See it from their side. I'm looking forward to that.
