Sorry to spoil the ending of Battlestar Galactica people, but we have found definitive proof that the Cylons are going to be obliterated: as you can see in this video clip, Cylon baseships run Windows. You can check it yourself fast-forwarding to minute 9:26 in episode 7, Guess What's Coming to Dinner. Bill Gates, that's fracking what. And he wants a large clone burger with fries.

Robot Enslaves Another Robot, Humans Next

After a 24-hour Galactica marathon, robots are gettings robots to follow the orders they were supposed to. Like Monty here, seen in the following video opening his new Roomba, ready to subjugate it into the tedious chore of cleaning the carpet.

Now seriously, can't engineers stop doing their...engineering or whatever they do at their secret underwater lairs, and watch some sci-fi movies or TV series or at least Pigs In Space? What are they going to do when Monty's wife starts taking out the inhibitors from all the Roombas at the White House and they steal the launch codes? One word, people: Cylons. Or worse: Bender.

Battlestar Galactica! Starbuck! Fracking Battlestar Galactica! Today! Starbuck! Fraksters! Did you forget something about it? Shame on you! But don't worry: get up to speed with this 8-minute summary video of the whole series, you fracking Cylons! And then, skip the need to watch the Final Season by reading our exclusive BSG spoilers list.

BSG Spoiler List

• Lightsabers will debut this season.
• Cylons build a fully armed and operational battle station. From a distance, it looks like a moon.
• A Colonial Raptor lands in a new planet and one of Galactica's pilots gets attacked by some kind of bug that attaches to his face.
• Galactica flight deck crew install a new weapon in a Viper apparently called "Death Blossom."
• Galactica has a problem with its heating system, but another Colonial Raptor lands in a forest planet to discover a large population of small, bear-like creatures living on trees. They kill them all and make nice coats for everyone in the ship. Colonist rejoice. Viewers too.
• In the final episode, we discover that President Roslin is really a lizzard with fake skin (that was a given, quite frankly.)
• Galactica then arrives to Earth, only to discover a world full of monkeys. They also kill them all.
• In the final scene, Starbuck and Apollo discover the hand and the head of big woman statue, made out of copper, coming out of a beach's sand. They don't know what the frack that means, but finally make love next to it.
• Starbuck discovers she's Apollo's sister.

Frack! Shine a Light and now this. Adrenaline is pumping out of my ears. [Video from io9]
