But Baltar survived the blast, Caprica did not. He was not actually hit by the nuclear blast, but the shockwave, and Caprica sheltered him from it. Otherwise there would be no need for Baltar to ever confront his guilt. What you said.

Ramming the ship was certainly an unexpected way to go about things, I'm sure. Also, it looked pretty cool. The colony was pretty fucking creepy on the whole.

For those of us who watched for the action, you had the first hour. For those of us that watched for all the other reasons, you had the last hour.

It was never clear that Baltar v.1 survived the initial nukes. If memory serves, they went from him and the 6 getting hit by the shockwave, which was way more than just a outer-rim emanation (the thing blew up his house!) to him standing around sheepishly in the crowd of survivors until Helo gave up his slot on the Raptor to let him onboard. My hypothesis stands: Baltar got resurrected in between those two sequences, just like Starbuck got resurrected after crashing on fake-out Earth. Plus, this would explain why Baltar was so pleased with himself last ep when he announced in front of the crowd on the flight deck that Starbuck v.2.0 was in fact a 2.0, but not a skinjob. And this explains how both he and the Six wound up with his & her Head visions. Frak. I feel like Sheldon in Big Bang Theory. Accordingly, I'm starting a "I undertand the BSG finale better than those who think they do" club.

I want to say that I read an interview where someone stated that Baltar was certainly not killed in the nuclear blast, but I may be mistaken. The difference, to me, is that Starbuck was clearly dead - we saw her body, we saw her fly her raptor into a nova. We saw her form poof into thin air. Baltar being a cylon/apparition/angel/etc would take away what made him, what I always felt, the most HUMAN of all the characters. He tried to believe that he was something else - a cylon, what have you, in order to alleviate his personal guilt, but that simply was not possible. He was human, with all our faults, failings, and guilt. All that, and the Baltar/Six that the corporeal versions of each saw were clearly different entities - more self assured, omnipotent, etc. Those characters were the ones seen at the end in Times Square - they were even wearing the same clothes.

Helo is 'teh sex' so I was happy he got a happy ending (oh what I'd give to give him a 'happy ending' if ya know what I mean'). The very best part is that after watching Galactica, I got to watch Dollhouse, which I was taping. So that was THREE hours of Helo, technically.

I am such a suck. lol I think it was the perfect finale. Better then the Sopranos and even The Wire.
