Frakking brilliant and drenched in awesomesauce. See lots of other versions of this song here:

I just started watching BSG a few weeks ago and got caught up to the currently airing episodes last night only to discover there's only like one more episode before it's over. Just my luck.

Not a sci-fi geek by any stretch of the imagination, but I've really enjoyed this show through and through. I just wish they would have been more consistent with their use of sound in space. At the beginning of the series explosions etc. were pretty muted, but in the end everything seems loudly audible.

Hello, nit. Might I pick you?

Frakking awesome Besides, that's Bear McCreary at the keyboard & conducting and his brother Brendan "Bt4" McCreary with the guitar providing vocals. And I'm not sure, but there may have also been some of the show's regular cast performing, as they have done on several occasions (James Callis (Baltar) for example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvjKzUg5zU8)

I'm a little worried about the story coming to end after only one more episode; they seem to have way too much to wrap up and answer.

It may be that there's a single, simple way to reconcile everything. It does seem that all the questions are ones about origins and destinations on one level or another.

E.g. Where did the old cylons come from? Why were the colonies founded? Why did Earth get destroyed? Why haven't cylons been able to reproduce until Hera? What, if anything, makes Hera special? For that matter, why are they worshiping Greek gods, and naming their cultures after signs of the zodiac? Will anyone survive the confrontation of these two species, or will they merge into one? If so, were they ever really different in any meaningful way? Oh, and is Kara Thrace a cylon? Has she always been one? If so, who made her? Is resurrection merely a technological curiosity, or is that meant to factor into some sort of deeper significance about what really separates human and cylon?

That's a lot to cover in two hours, especially since we have this rescue mission thingy to carry out too, and final character moments, which are usually the main focus of the BSG series.

All your concerns are echoed in my skull. I haven't had much time to absorb the fact that the show is ending because I just found that out, but I guess after having such a short history with the show, I feel like a real latecomer who just jumped on the bandwagon, so I have no right to complain. I'll leave it to veterans like yourself.
