Battlestar Galactica Finale (Spoiler Free)

Instrumentation on every panel indicated that the impending detonation of the ship's antimatter engines now insured that what was left of the craft could not possibly avoid the collision with the sun. The starship captain looked up at the screen, and saw that the fleet of enemy warships would arrive in less than 20 seconds. His attention slashed across every remaining figure on the doomed bridge, his eyes finally connecting w
