Forum Overview :: Battlestar Galactica :: That's not what happened

[quote name="Horrible Gelatinous Blob"][quote name="Fortinbras"]NOT-humans? And then hoped that the cycle wouldn't repeat itself while MSNBC in the background ominously announces new advances in robotics? Wait, that's not even original, that's the ending to Terminator 3.[/quote] Here's what happened: Racetrack and Skulls were killed. Because they set their weapons hot before their death, their Raptor launched the nukes towards the Colony when Racetrack's hand was jostled onto the trigger. The Colony was falling into the singularity. Galactica was trapped from their ramming strategy. With the ship falling apart around them, only moments to act, Starbuck was the only one who could jump the ship. And she did: jumping it to the coordinates encoded within "All Along The Watchtower." That happens to be our Earth, 150k years in the past. THE ENTIRE SERIES TOOK PLACE 150K YEARS IN OUR PAST. There was no time travel, no "jumping through a singularity." They jumped AWAY from the singularity. The coda with Ron Moore reading the magazine about the discovery of Mitochondrial Eve is referencing Hera. She is the ancestor of us, modern humans. The Earth discovered in "Revelations" wasn't our Earth. Is the whole thing stupid? Yeah, but not for the reasons you think.[/quote]
