AHHHHHHH. Yea. Good ending but it's a shame it's all cliffhangers.

In the last scene, the newspaper article says that they found the bones of what could be a missing link in human evolution, a young girl (Hera).
If they found her bones as a young girl, then that means she died young, certainly not more than ten, maybe twelve years after arriving on Earth. No way she had any children at that point, so there goes the first Cylon-Human child, dead before continuing the line. I'm sure Helo and Athena had more children, but still, it's sad to think about how they'd deal with losing her.

Spoiler: show
I thought that it was supposed to be a news article about mitochondrial eve (aka a woman who every person on the planet is a descendent of). There was some real life news about that at the time of the episode airing if I'm remembering correctly. In which case she definitely had kids.


And yeah the last shot of the Game of Thrones finale was incredible.

Yeah as soon as she disappeared out of his sight, i knew she'd disappear. Used the same trick in the Labyrinth I think. Creepy bald Gentleman guy went down too easy though..
Also didn't they capture the guy invading Kings Landing? Or was that his own men dragging him away?

Yeah the implication was that Mitochondrial Eve (the most recent woman from which all humans on earth are descended) was Hera, indicating that all modern humans are essentially descended from the Cylon-"Human" hybrid. Which means that Hera definitely lived long enough to have children. The weird thing is that the average life-expectancy on earth at that time must have been far lower than it was on the colonies, meaning that most of those who made it to earth either died far sooner than would have been expected, or were abnormally old and advanced amongst the homo sapiens.

Man I thought I'd told you about Danger 5 Phill? The DVD came out a while back, it came with an awesome Danger 5 patch and everything.

Also a bout fucking time you started watching Archer.

I started on Regular Show, about half way through season 2. This show is freaking hilarious. It feels like it should be an adult swim show.

Did you?! Man why didn't I listen.. Yeah Danger 5 was pretty fantastic. I hope they make more. I might just buy it just for the patch. Is it velcro? Then I can stick it to the ceiling of my car alongside my SG-1 patch.

Yeah my auntie of all people told me about both shows.. I've only seen a couple episodes of Archer so far, but yeah its pretty hilarious. I like all the word play and the double entendre. Fantastic.

Also True Blood.. I have to say I did miss that theme song..

Spoiler: show
The whole burying the King in concrete was a stupid idea.. now they're just going to have to do all that again.. Also Eric making out with his sister was weird.. the next thing you know they're fucking.. WEIRDER. Actually there was a lot of weird stuff. The reverend coming back as a gay vampire who has the hots for Jason.. The wolf cannibalism.. then turning Tara.. The one thing that did interest me (apart from Jessica :roll: ) was the whole thing with the house fires and Terry with his marine friend. It took them 5 seasons but finally we might to to see why he's so fucked up

nah you need to sew the patch on. Also Archer only gets better IMO, Kriger doesn't even have any lines untill like episode 5 or 6 and he's easily the best character in the show. (Except maybe Pam)
Also if you buy the first season on DVD, it has the entire first episode with arcer replaced with a velociraptor and all his lines replaced with raptor noises. It's pretty much the single most amazing special feature I've ever seen.

Oh shit, I bought Archer on iTunes but it doesn't come with that special episode apparently. I'm gonna have to find a copy somewhere.


And yeah Pam and Krieger are definitely the best.
