[SPOILERS] Battlestar Galactica is Over!

do not watch the finale. if you have been a fan of the series then just think of your own ending, it will be better and you will be denied the frustration of theirs.

in truth, i suspected that the writers didnt really have it all planned out, and they admitted as much in thier "last frakkin special" but wow.

it was insultingly stupid.

Prepare for Jaxel and KDZ to destroy you.

Isn't Caprica technically a spinoff?

Anyway, I was okay with the ending. I didn't think it was bad by any means. I think they hyped up Hera and the whole Cylon/Human breeding thing. Considering there was life on New Earth already, we didn't need Hera or the Cylons to survive in the end. They also didn't address Starbuck as the Harbinger of Death, and I thought it was unnecessary for Admiral Adama to leave the main group.

I would've been fine with a sad ending, but I wasn't displeased with the ending we got. I'm looking forward to the Blu-Ray boxset release later this year.

There's a big difference between saying Starbuck is an angel and saying she's the Harbinger of Death.

I also liked the "real" Opera House scene, but they ignored Helo, Athena and the Pres getting left behind. Well... not ignored, but it had no bearing on the outcome at all.

...and I agree that Caprica doesn't look all that great, but it's still a spinoff.

Not to mention the rebel base star which jumped away to who knows where.

ok so you are ok with the it all actually being a divine plan from thier great god, deus ex machina? seriously? i mean seriously you are ok with the series finale being one big dues ex machina, followed by time travel, followed by a painfully boring melodramatic half hour of the futuristic society voluntarily deciding to become cave men and closing with AGENTS OF GOD!?!?!?! in modern new york??!?!?

the opera scene was art coming together? it didnt just feel like a convoluted, tacked on resolution to something that they introduced a while ago but had no idea what to do with?

in thier "last frakkin special" they admitted at the end that they didnt know how to close this all up, then they had their revelation, "it's not about the plot, it's about the characters". they actually admitted that they had no plot for their last episode.

they should have just made it all a dream. it worked for newheart after all, but at least there it was clever.

If it were all a dream, I would've found the producer and punched him square in the ballsack.

The final words of William Adama proved his worth as an actor.

I enjoyed the ending, actually, if for no other reason than Cavill blowing his own brains out randomly. To each their own.

It wasn't a literary deus ex machina.

A classic deus ex machina would be war of the worlds or signs or andromeda strain.

This was built up to for a very long time, as were the hallucinations baltar and caprica saw.

And there was no time travel. What they found in the middle of season4 was a planet called Earth, but it was not this planet. They find our planet in the series finale and decide to name it Earth.

As I saw it, Cavil not only watched any hope of resurrection tech go down the tubes. What made it worse was that it mainly happened because he decided to mess with the final five's memories in the first place and plop them in with the humans. Every aspect of his plans blew up in his face at once.

It fit his personality in my opinion. He beat himself over the head with a rock to kill himself faster back when he was lying in a ditch on New Caprica. Offing himself kept the humans from doing anything else to him.

Didn't they say something like "You know he doesn't like being called that"...which implies that its not god in the sense of a judeo-christian god or whatever. I've also seen a bunch of people(on other forums) complaining about them using god because it somehow supports people who believe in god in real life(I don't know exactly how to word that, but you get the idea)...but I think thats funny considering its one of the biggest points in a completely fictional sci fi show.

Head Baltar said "...It doesn't like being called that."

I call space bunnies.
