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.
Galactica looks so broken in the space shots 🙁
Kara: It is time for YOU to cross that line!
Awesome
Gaius in battle gear! NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS
SQUEEEEEEE
Bathar does something not incredibly selfish, etc? Wow. In the very last episode!
Caprica Six really doesn't need your protection Gaius.
Admiral Hoshi, you are just so damn adorable.
BEAR MCCREARY STOP MAKING ME CRY
All of the "Go!"s gets me in my gut the same was as McGonagall's "Do your duty to our school". I LOVE ERRBODY IN THIS SHIP.
Yay one more Adama speech!
HERE WE GO!
HERE WE GO!
Haha, Romo, Lee totally got you back for that whole 'President' thing.
THIS IS SO FRAKKING EPIC! WITH THE MUSIC AND THE CGI AND OMFG
if this isn't the creepiest place ever
"She will not fail us if we we do not fail her. "
Also:
"ACTION STATIONS."
man I'm so off-sync with some people now. aaaaaaaaah. I just got to Admiral Hoshi.
FUCK YEAH SPACE BATTLES!
HOW AMAZING WAS THAT JUMP!!!???
Holy shit, I forgot how seriously epic this is!
STOP HURTING GALACTICA 🙁
GO ANDERS!
the Raptors jumping out of the museum pod is AMAZING!
'I don't belong to you, Paulla. I never belonged to you. You appropriated me.'
RAMMING ALWAYS WORKS!
do all the hybrids look the same?
I really like how muted the space battle sounds are. I know scientifically we shouldn't hear anything but the noises just add to the entertainment and I like that they came to a compromise by not having them all out BOOMBOOMBOOM.
This is all just so damn epic!
Here come the Cylons! Here come the Cylons! Doesn't it look weird to have them marching beside Lee and Kara?
FUUUU THE BEAMS BREAKING THROUGH THE WALLS
EVERYTHING IS EXPLODING!
I have goosebumps…literally. THIS IS AWESOME!!!!
IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU TORY. GROW UP!
but it's so… HER lol
OH MY GOD
HOLY SHIT
WOAH old centurions!!
They're all yours now, Paula. Enjoy them. looool.
omg I'm sorry, I know this is an epic, epic time, but, holy shit, Lee, just chop off all your hair. It looks terrible when you took off your helmet.
haha, every time Lee's hair is on screen it's all I can think about.
You'd think someone would've handed him a scissors before now for his own good.
WHY WOULD YOU TAKE YOUR HELMETS OFF?! Surely protecting your heads is a better idea?
Probably pretty heavy to run around in for extended period of time, limited vision too
maybe it obstructs their vision?
logic vs. filming constraints
Why do I get the feel there are only about 3 of us watching the extended edition?
i know right?
Because extended edition is the best!!
aaaaaaaaaah my sashed Centurians! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Athena and Helo flying a Raptor together <3
OHSHIT RACETRACK AND SKULLS!
SEEING THE CENTURIONS RUN AND NOT FREAKING OUT BECAUSE THEY'RE COMING AFTER HUMANS?! DKFJHSDKFJHDSF PRICELESS.
THIS IS AMAZING
HOLY SHIT CAPRICA SIX AND BALTAR
SKULLS!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!
GO BOOMER!!
The black t shirt remains an AWESOME look on Katee Sackhoff
OLD SCHOOL CENTURION!

Racetrack and Skulls! Our first battle casualties!
YAY BOOMER DOING THE RIGHT THING!

You want somebody to state the perfectly obvious? YOU'RE AN ASS, CAVIL
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT ATHENA BOOMER A;LKJASDF;LKASJDF;LKASDJF

"Please continue stating the perfectly obvious" is hilarious though

'I always wanted to be proud of you. I guess I always felt that was the only thing missing'
<img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/jz9l37.gif" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic">
that scene makes me scream. when this happened I realized how much of a shipper of them I was and I didn't even KNOW. !!!
Apparently Old School Centurions don't run?
WHAT THE FUCK
WHAT???????????
HEAD GAIUS AND SIX TOGETHER. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BEHOLD.
Aww Helo kissing Hera <3 AGATHONS REUNITED!
"Can we not tell her the plan?" lol
I just want them to be happy. Is that too much to ask for?
ALKSDFA;LJFA AGATHON REUNION!
Oh Boomer.
Yes.
'Today I made a choice. I think it's my last one'
Oh Boomer.
hahah "can we not tell her the plan"
I've stopped blinking. Too much to see.
There's a viper pilot named 'Ladykiller' and I didn't know it all this time?!
Oh, what BSG does best/worst of all! Give you a moment of hope and then-WHAM! Take it bloody all away!
Oh Boomer 🙁 You were happy once and then everything just got swept out from under you.
Lol CAN WE NOT TELL HER THE PLAN
Plasma cutter! I know how to use that!
I have a hard time feeling sorry for Boomer……
I HAVE SEEN THIS ALL BEFORE AND IT IS STILL MAKING ME CRY. HELO. HERA. I CAN'T. I CAN'T. EVEN.
MARK I HOPE YOU HAVE SOMEONE ACTUALLY HOLDING YOUR HAND. *grips tight through cyberspace*
Boomer!!!!!! 🙁
"The doctor's in, check your neuroses at the door." Tigh? What?
Helo carrying Hera is just the cutest thing ever to me.
Omg this flashback is killing me.
I love Tigh's giggle
Oh yeah Boomer's back to the better than evil side!
Awww Laura and the triage. My poor sweet bb.
I love how Helo is delegated to dealing with Hera while Athena has the gun and takes lead.
DORAL, YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't.
'You betcha, Galen.' ILU Sam.
Gods I love these battle scenes!!!
was that a nod to Cain? 😀
ROFL Oh Gaius, lucky Caprica Six was there to stop him.
"Doc you did good" Aawww
