Finished watching the main drama at 00:30 am on October 30, 2016 (excluding the movie version and interviews, etc.). After reading the finale, although there are still some doubts, I finally understand the meaning of the sentence "All this has happened before, and it will happen again." I also know the Six in Gaius Baltar's fantasy and Gaius in the Caprica Six fantasy What is Baltar's identity, and a personal understanding of "God has a plan." Gaius Baltar, such a selfish and lustful human genius who indirectly caused the death of 20 billion people, had such a perfect ending, and Caprica Six, as a Cylon spy, was also responsible for the demise of the twelve colonies, and finally Redemption and a new generation (like Hera) that symbolizes the fusion and reconciliation of humanity and Cylons. There is no doubt that it was true love between Gaius Baltar and Caprica, and it was before Athena and Helo. It can be seen that human beings and Cylons can have true love, and there is also true love between Cylons. Old man Saul and Ellen were inseparable before, and they finally got the result. Love is the true meaning of the show and the fundamental reason for the reconciliation between humans and Cylons. Just imagine, when Cylons replace the cold Centurions with human appearance and feelings, and become a humanoid Cylon who dares to love and hate, how different are they from humans? When Admiral Adama put down his hatred for Cylons for decades, the real Embrace Saul, who has worked with him for 30 years, and join him in the face of the coup threat; when Cylon rebels give up their ability to resurrect and are willing to live in harmony with humanity, as an 8 said, "It's a good thing, we and them the same." When not dependent on rebirth, Cylons have a whole new understanding of life. This is an evolution of them. This time, they are equal to humans, and humans can also readily accept them. In this play, God's plan runs through the whole play (I haven't watched Plan yet). In my opinion, God' s plan includes the nuclear extermination of Cylons to humans, the civil war of Cylons and the fusion of human and Cylons race, and rebirth. In this play, God is an ethereal existence, and Six in Gaius Baltar's fantasy and Gaius Baltar in Caprica Six's fantasy can be considered the guide of God's plan, or an angel. At the end of the play, God refers to it in the dialogue between the two pairs of angels, which shows that God is probably not a tangible existence in mythology. In my opinion, the fundamental reason for the salvation of Gaius Baltar and the Caprica Six is ​​that they are the enforcers of the God' plan. It's like a biblical story where Gaius Baltar and the Caprica Six play both the destroyer and Noah's role. Cylons' nuclear strike was like a great flood, symbolizing God's denial of fallen mankind, so God chose Gaius Baltar and Caprica Six to almost completely destroy mankind through the hands of Cylon, and Cylon was finally destroyed because of the civil war, the evil faction headed by Cavil was finally destroyed . It can be said that God gave humans and Cylon a new beginning. In God's eyes, humans and Cylon are equal. They are both God's children. The last two races gave up war and chose to merge, which can be considered as the execution of God's will. But God's plan is not over yet. In the modern age where humans and Cylons have lived together for 150,000 years, we are starting to walk the same path as humans and Cylons. When the new robots are gradually perfected, when we become corrupt step by step, when that song plays on the radio The tone-shifting Cylons Awakening, the dialogue between the two angels is full of meaning. All this has happened before, the real problem is, will it happen again, and again... This is a reflection on the fate of mankind, and an examination of oneself. Perhaps, one day in the future, when the robots rise, God's plan will be executed again, and then another Battlestar Galactica. In this play, it contains too many elements, such as war, religion, mythology, politics, economy, and human nature. On the contrary, the elements of science fiction are not particularly prominent, but this does not damage its status as a science fiction epic. After watching this play, it gives people a sense of helplessness like fate, as if there is divine will in the dark. God, is an eternal question. As a human fleet that can jump faster than the speed of light and gallop across the universe, it is impossible to understand God's wishes. As modern humans, when the development of science has surpassed our soul, we are obsessed with technology and directly abandon God. And when disaster strikes, Can we still complain about God? God doesn't have to be a real, tangible being, it can also be the laws of nature that govern everything secretly. When religious theologians actively drum up, and atheists use Occam's razor to reject everything, the human soul wanders and gets lost in the two choices. As a person who fears the unknown, I am not a thorough advocate of science, Nor are they dismissive of religion. Personally, I believe that the early religions originated from the fear of the unknown, and with the materialization of this unknown power, a man-based god was born, and this idea was gradually distorted with the corruption of the human soul. As science progresses, we abandon god and lose this awe. In the final analysis, however, the soul is also something to be questioned. In short, human ignorance and depravity lead us to destruction, while redemption and introspection lead us to embrace new life. Where is God? Just keep it in your heart. At the end of the play, the humanoid Cylon handed over the Baseship to Centurion, ending their rule over them. We can only sigh with emotion as to where they will go and what their fate will be: the universe is huge, and everything has its own providence! As a non-senior drama fan, Qian Talking about my feelings about American dramas: Every good drama is like first love, giving people an unforgettable feeling, they make me sad and happy. When I watched BSG, there was a short-lived joy of fulfillment of a long-cherished wish, but then followed by a deep loss, as if the whole heart was also hollowed out. Maybe, in the future, I will re-watch this show, but that sense of surprise is gone forever. And when disaster strikes, can we still blame God? God is not necessarily a real and tangible existence, but can also be a natural law that secretly manipulates everything.
