Only 2 more days until the new and final episodes and I´m entering these final hours with very mixed feelings. I have never before cared so much about a TV show, never before been so engaged in every aspect of it and I can say that for a long time , probably nothing will meet the new standard Battlestar Galactica has set and I can´t imagine another show that could bring so much joy to my life.

It is all about the characters, not the (incredibly well done) special effects, it´s about the world that is created through these characters that teaches us something about ourselves, makes us root for the bad guys if there really are any and look at the basic aspects of life from a different angle. Religion, loyalty, faith, friendship, politics and family and the mechanics behind it, i will miss the discussions and speculations, the next unexpected plot twist.

I am very sad to see quality like that leaving the small screen and I am sad to let go of a set of characters that I have become very attached to, as well as the actors and producers and writers , who have shared this experience with us on almost personal levels throughout the years. It feels a little bit like letting go of part of your family as stupid as that sounds and although I am very glad there will be a final act, a definite end to the saga and although I CANNOT wait to see how it ends for all of them I am dreading this moment like nothing else at this time.

As a kind of goodbye and welcome to the final hours of BSG I decided to do a picspam and I decided to do a picspam about the human gestures of the past 4 seasons, the kissing, the touching, the holding and the hugging ( the hugging was always the best ! ) and the occasional making out ;D This way, I intended not only to have a more uplifting tribute to my favourite show but also to put a stress on what is essential in the Battlestar universe, the people.

That's such a beautiful post! And I love the picsspam as well, brings back good memories!

BSG is a great show that has it all: drama, action,love, moments that keep you on the edge of your seat, even some comedy.
I'll miss it when it ends but all we can do now is to enjoy the last episodes of this awesome show and always remind of it with a smile on our face :)

Thank you:D
I just had to do something now right before BSG returns after such a ridiculously long break and I´m very emotional about it so what to do other than show the emotions on the show.

Sometimes I am at a lack of words (in english anyway) to describe the incredible quality of this show to others who might not know it, and are totally missing out on something. I am intending on celebrating each of these last episodes and enjoy them to the fullest. :-)

What an amazing post and an amazing picspam. This, the relationship between the characters, are really the core of the show and you managed to capture it brilliantly with not only the picspam, but the introduction as well.

I can´t imagine another show that could bring so much joy to my life.

And that, is exactly how I feel. Funny how the show is such a depressing show, but yet it could bring me so much joy.

♥!

What a nice suprise to wake up to, such a lovely comment, thank you.

Yeah, it felt weird to write that sentence, BSG is not the happiest show around after all but it makes me happy.
I´m glad you enjoyed this post :-)

LOL@your icon, oh Laura!

What a beautiful and fitting tribute to what makes this show truly great. I am absolutely with you - my heart goes with the characters of Battlestar, and my heart will ache for them when they are gone. I love that you chose to highlight the moments of intimacy and humanity that manage to flourish even in the most taxing of times.

I was just wondering - would you maybe be willing to upload a zip of the fullsizes of these caps? My brain has a really hard time processing images this small and clustered together, and I'd love to be able to savor them in all their glory. Also, did you take the caps or did you find them somewhere? Thanks :)
