Well, the time has come for me to finish Battlestar Galactica. I’d like to hold the first of two liveblog parties on the site over the course of the next two weekends. The first of these will be for the FULL “Daybreak” episode (that’s all three parts) that makes up the series finale of Battlestar Galactica.
So, if this is your first liveblog, the rules are pretty easy, though we will have a revised schedule this time around.
Because there are at least two (and possibly three) versions of the three-part finale in existence, it is inevitable that, based on what people have access to, we will not all be in sync. It’s just the reality of this. To accomodate this and to schedule in two intermissions for necessary breaks, we will split this liveblog up into three segments. The schedule is as follows:
The liveblog will be on Saturday, November 26th at 9am PST. Please consult a world clock to determine what time this will be where you live.
9:00am: Begin “Daybreak, Part I”
10:00am: Pause wherever you are for a 15-minute intermission. If you have one file or one episode, you might need to pause. If you are watching them split-up from Netflix, iTunes, or Hulu, your “episode” has ended. DO NOT GO TO THE NEXT ONE UNTIL AFTER THE INTERMISSION.
10:15am: Unpause or, in the case of  a streaming site/iTunes, start Part II.
11:15am: Pause if needed for second intermission.
11:30am: Unpause or start Part III of “Daybreak.”
If this is your first time watching this episode like it is for me, I advise staying on the first page of comments and leaving your liveblogging there. This is what I do to avoid spoilers if someone gets ahead of me. Simply use the comments as a space for you to flail, flip out, sob, post many GIFs, and console others.
I am excited to have this party with you! Next weekend, we’ll liveblog The Plan.
PLAY
PART 2!!!
PREVIOUSLY
I don't need this. Get to the good stuff.
Yeah you can blame SyFy for not airing this as one long movie . Frakkers
I cheated and pressed play at 12:14 because of the Previously. 😛
All those people are dead now, except Adama, Tigh and Ellen.
And now, back to Caprica City's Red Light District.
Oh right the 1 and 2&3 gets another previously
Caprica City was pretty!
Caprica City at NIIIIGHT is even prettier
I was not expecting this
Tigh with both eyes! Being best friends with Bill!
Oooooooh Tigh and Ellen. The best bad influences EVAR
Ewwwww don't give my space dad a lap dance!
I WANT TO GO DRINKING WITH SAUL AND ELLEN. SO BAD.
MICHAEL HOGAN IS MY HERO
AHAHAH I love the way Tigh said "drills"
'C'mon boys, let's open up some old wounds!' Oh, Kara.
I kind of love that Ellen's at the strip club with them.
I love that Ellen and Tigh apparently go to strip clubs together.
help me up, boys! help me up!
lol Lee and politics
STARBUCK!!!!!
I love how well sussed Zak has Lee, and Lee and Adama's relationship.
Whoa, Sean's hot for teach!
Ohhh dear, family dinner just got awkwaaard
Lee has his dad down, but Zak has Lee's number too.
"Honey I think I'm starting to like your brother." Dun dun dunnnn.
And then Laura's date gets awkward for a moment.
SO
FUCKING
AWKWARD
No seriously Roslin, how do you hair?
I really love that Starbuck can out-drink her men: Zak, Anders…
OH yup. forgot when this was coming. EJO vomit. Ugh. So unnecessary BSG.
that's right Laura, YOU CAN GET IT. get it! get it!
MARY MCDONNELL YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND FLAWLESS AND I CAN'T DEAL.
Drunken Zak is hilarious, but this is going to be TROUBLE
Hahaha holy awkward.
Yep, I'd remember Roslin for the rest of my life too.
It's time for shots!
ok, it wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be
"the night's young. Apparently so are you" rofl ILU Laura.
How is Colonel Tigh screaming not a meme. How.
When this is done I think I need to go back and gif screaming Tigh.
ROFL Drunk!Zak telling everyone he loves them
Awwww Saul and Ellen, who would have loved that ship when you first met Ellen?!
Love you Starbuck, carrying on your fine tradition of drinking your other half under the table.
So Ellen dances for rent money?
Drunk STARBUCK I love you.
happy Starbuck! I miss it 🙁
Yeah Bill throwing up isn't what you want to watch while eating.
DID NOT WANT TO SEE THAT.
It's time for shotssss! 😀 😀 😀
OH MY GOD ROSLIN AND COTTLE I CANNOT EVEN DEAL
"just light a cigarette and go and grumble"
Bill throwing up in the street made me want to cry D:
Made me want to throw up
That too.
the drunk Zak, Lee and Kara UST scene is so realistic. I've seen this scene play out before more than once.
Paulla interrupting and Gaius sending her away cracks me up.
I keep feeling like Saul and Bill are supposed to make out at least once in these flashbacks.
OH COTTLE YOU ARE THE GREATEST CHARACTER AND I LOVE YOU FOREVER!
And then he KISSES HER HAND. Because he is awesome 🙂
And she literally has a 'bag of tricks'. I don't know why, but I love that part.
Also, Caprica, please stop encouraging underage drinking.
Maybe their drinking age is less than ours…like Britain:)
The kid looks like he's all of fourteen or fifteen. And I, of course, never ever ever drank that young…
COTTLE, YOU ARE THE GREATEST PERSON EVER. FACT.
Laura telling him to be crotchety. I LOVE THEM BOTH OMG
Doc Cottle I love you and your chain-smokin self. LAURA YOU ARE KILLING ME. ALL OF THE TEARS.
'No, no don't. Don't spoil your image. Just light a cigarette and go grumble.'
I love this scene between Roslin and Cottle so much.

Favorite scene in the finale. No joke.
"That's my Raptor wranglers" and Athena's smile <3
Ahhh Cottle kissed her hand! <3
BLESS THE RAPTOR PILOTS.
"I want them to start throwing rocks" Oh BIll
Sharon your face. Emotionssssss.
ADMIRAL HOSHI! *flails* YAY!
Gaius is so scared of intimacy and being real.
HOSHI!!!!!!!!
Admiral Hoshi!

MARK SHEPPARD 2012. THAT IS ALL.
Admiral HOSHI!!! WOOOO! If only Felix had lived to see his love be promoted….
And they frakkin' salute properly…! Thank the gods. (pet peeve)
Mine too!
Four for you, Admiral Hoshi, four for you.
"Still not too late to flush 'em all out the airlock" "Take too much time." oh you guys
Bear McCreary, I love you.
SO SAY WE ALL!
So say we all!
I'm fine with my ass belonging to you, Lee.
Caprica, that was incredibly presumptuous. But I'm pretty sure this is when Baltar fell in love with her, even if he had no idea it happened.
YEP. Absolutely. The look on his face!
I love how Gaius can't even DEAL with Caprica. He just keeps staring at her.
MARK SHEPPARD FOR PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD!
HAHAHAHA Romo. Omg.
YAY JAKE GETS TO BE FIRST PET! Oh and Lampkin's President. BUT YAY JAKE!
Is it wrong that I kind of wish we could follow the Hoshi and Lampkin and see what happens with them?
Why is the 6 the only model with different hairstyles/colours?
I love that Tigh still acts as if he isn't a cylon. It's kind of beautiful.
is Jake his VP? I hope so
Also, Badger for President?
GO GAIUS!
FINALLY, GAIUS!
Are we SURE we want to give Gaius a rifle?
The painted sashes on the Centurions are amazing to me.
The painted sashes made me SCREAM with glee when this aired
Me too!
awww Agathons! Athena cleaned up and looking at Helo again!
GODDAMN.
I love how Starbuck just lights into Adama for having such a double-standard in terms of sacrifice.
Lee giving Gaius a gun…is just the best thing ever.
'Maybe I'll see you in the next life' 'See you in another life brother.'
Sorry Lost and Desmond flashbacks.
I'm having so many ~feelings~ already…can't handle this show.
Awww Laura on the wireless for sickbay.
Museum!
Go Starbuck!
the museum! I love it!
Oh god I am so nervous.
Gaius' helmet and goggles look strangely cute. They're just so BIG on him.
he looks like a little kid, but not in a sad way
