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.
Oh god Laura so wobbly
Head 6!!!!! Head Baltar!!!!!!
'I will? You…see them?'
BEST MOMENT EVER
This is why you don't give Gaius a gun, he's hopeless.
did Gaius just try to surrender? lol
Omg they did it!!!!!!
"In the end it's all about mathematics"
*Boomer breaks neck*
me: oh yeah, guess it's not ALL about being a machine!
And this is where I start cursing RDM, NOT HELO! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NOT HELO!
Totally understand poor Hera making a run for it. HOW SCARY WOULD THIS BE FOR A LITTLE KID?!
OPERA HOUSE VISION!
Awww! Hera had her fingers in her ears!!
The low camera for the shots of Hera by herself, so good.
DORAL I HATE YOU
KDFJHSDKFH OPERA HOUSE
AWWWW the Agathon's reunion!!! 😀 <3 <3 <3
HERA WHERE ARE YOU GOING NOOOOOOO
DON'T YOU DARE KILL HELO BSG! DON'T YOU FUCKIN' DARE!
Baltar and Caprica realizing they both see ~Angels? classic
Noooooooooooo!
I love how Helo's about to go for Boomer, and Athena pulls him back, like 'not in front of our daughter'. And then she shoots her anyways.
Bear McCreary you are some kind of god.
Tigh, you are so drunk in this flashback.
It's still hilarious to me that Opera House Hera looks like she falls asleep the second Six picks her up
Stop running away Hera!
'I owe you one…I'll pay you back one day, when it really means something.' ::crying::
Hera and I are clearly kindred running-away-at-inopportune-moment spirits
The Opera House! Oooh! Kill the rabbit! Kill the rabbit! Err! Wrong opera house!
Kill the toasters! Kill the toasters! Bad Cavil, bad Cavil!
"They've got the girl. They've got the little girl!"
OH SHIT CAVIL!
Cute little kissy face there Hera. You look a little bored.
Hera your face <3
Yes, Gaius, you certainly killed that Centurion dead.
Whoa. Goosebumps.
OOOOOOOO it all makes sense now
Stop putting the child down people!
The music! The opera house! What does it all mean?!
this thing?? THIS THING?? I HATE YOU SO MUCH
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! HELOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Roslin's hair is so pretty in the opera house.
Beautiful strains of Gaius' culty music for his very very spiritual speech.
Is Mark Watches crashing for anyone else?
WHAT THE FUCK
I assume anyone not watching extended should be paused right around now?
Yeah it went for me for a minute there.
WHERE IS HELO! WHY IS HE NOT WITH ATHENA AND HERA!
Yeah I just lost access to the page for about five minutes there.
Yes, I am assuming the same thing.
So many dead! And beautiful music!
Oh Tory, you know something's coming.
Yeah I was having some trouble too.
Y'all, our obsession is breaking the internet!
Oh shit it was QUARTER PAST to pause, not on the hour. I'm an idiot.
HELLZ YEAH> Ding Dong the witch is dead!!!!!
11:04 am PST
Frak! Frak! Having wordpress problems! Server overload error!
Will keep trying though…
lol the opera house was just seeing the future.
well, shit
Where is the break for part 3? I'm watching extended edition btw.
As much as she wasn't my favourite character I am not happy about Tory's death at all.
'Now, I may be mad, but that doesn't mean that I'm not right.'
I love Head 6 and Head Baltar watching over while Gaius gives his speech!
There must be some kind of way out of here
…
said the joker to the thief.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's too much confusion…
ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, gods! What a frakkin mess! Cavil kills himself! One of the final 5 is dead! Starbuck, can you save us!!
Oh, the suspense is horrible! And I've watched this at least 3 times!
But where's Helo? Where's my Helo?!
Okay since I'm off by five minutes I'll stick with one or two comments and sort out the difference in the intermission.
OH GOD ATHENA SITTING ALONE WITH HERA 🙁
"YOU ARE KEEPING TWO CIVILISATIONS WAITING!" rofl oh Cavil
Poor Galactica is so battered.
An Angel blazing with the light of God.
EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE
"How do you know God's on your side?"
"I don't. god's not on any one side."
So Cavil's see a head!Person hasn't he? I'm pretty sure, from his reaction.
That second quote is one of the best lines in the entirety of the show.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, for me on the extended version it's finally over.
Part 3 starts after "I'm as good as my word" and then it cuts to vipers flying in…
Oh, Tory. Trying to get forgiveness before you share what you've done.
it sounds like they're talking about a horse 🙁

The extended pauses at 1:41
EVERYONE PAUSE NOW
Oh shit, Kara, Lee and Alcohol is NOT a good combination!
You can't even imagine the shrieking I did the first time I saw this.
splutter, splutter, splutter
ALKSJDF;LAJSDF;LAJSF;LASJFKA
(sidenote: this is where we stop, right?)
I am so confused. why are people continuing? I thought we weren't starting part III until 11:30?
I AM SO LOST
The epic Assault on the Colony

Okay just as I catch up
FUUU Galactica's back breaking, noooo 🙁
Oh Tyrol's face.
"She'll never jump again" 🙁
MOON! AFRICA! And cut to black so I'll stop
And Part 2 of the same song

Oh gods, galactica is broken beyond repair! 🙁
awesome, thank you!
Having two different versions is very confusing. My extended edition crapped out so I switched to the Netflix one and based on the comments, I'm behind 🙁 Oh, well! At least I'm back online with the comments 🙂
I really wanted to be a part of this, even found my DVD and everything. But for some reason all the comments are 10 minutes late and I have no idea how far everybody are. 🙁
My comments so far: I love Doc Cottle with the fire of burning Sun, poor Galactica and OMG Helo! That's all for now 🙂
Awww Cally! I miss you! 🙁
And I think I'm at the right spot now. All paused and waiting to part 3!!!
Y'all broke everything. I LOVE YOU.
Get ready to be more broken!
So is Mark Watches :(..;)
Galactica just appeared over a moon, see my gif below. We'll be going from straight after that.
LOL just wait til everyone unpauses.
OUR LOVE IS TOO MUCH FOR THE SERVERS TO HANDLE
All this has happened before….and will happen again.
P.S. Cavil's suicide was Dean Stockwell's idea.
Okay, half past, I'm starting.
SHIIIPS EARTH!
