Battlestar Galactica Season Finale
My girlfriend and I watched the 90 minute season two finale of Battlestar Galactica titled Lay Down Your Burdens [Part II].
If you haven’t seen it, don’t read the rest of this post as I’ll include spoilers all over the place.

Still with me? Good. I’m not sure how I feel about the episode. In terms of acting, sets, and atmosphere, it was top notch as always.
Maybe I’m still adjusting to all of the changes, but I was completely caught off guard by the events that happened after Baltar won the election. It almost doesn’t feel like the same show anymore.
Things that I’m not sure that I like:
- Kara Thrace marrying Samuel Anders
- Lee Adama marrying Dualla (not sure if they are married, but I think that they are)
- Admiral Adama mustache
- Tent city on “New Caprica”
- The mothballing of the military
- After finding out that the Cylons ended their occupation on Caprica and then finding out that they weren’t going to follow the fleet anymore, did the fleet go looking for more humans on the other 11 colonies?
- Did “Abused Six” blow up use the nuke to create a signal?
- What happened to “Caprica Eight” (the Sharon that gave birth)?
- What happened to the Cylons played by Dean Stockwell?
- What happened to Roslyn’s aide?
- What happened to Tom Zarek?
- After all this time about preaching about the One True God, did they just abandon that and not believe anymore?

About 25 minutes into the podcast, they say “…Eddie however won’t be [back next year]. We should point out at this point in the show. No Eddie won’t be with us. There will be no more Edward James Olmos.”
So there you have it. If it’s true, then Admiral Adama won’t be in season 3. If this is true, then the questions come to mind, what happens to him and why didn’t he chose to reprise his role?
Update: Most of the people on the message boards are saying that Olmos not returning is a joke. Bastards!
Come October, the new season will debut and I’ll be watching it as normal but instead of excitement to see what’s coming, I have more of a sense of dread.
