"I was just frakking with you..."
BSG final garbled thoughts
Seriously?
Like… really?
There are so many things about this that just don’t work for me, one of the biggest being that the only finish that actually made me smile belongs to Gaius. Yes, the character that provided four seasons of bathroom breaks actually got the only ending that I found to be satisfactory. He made peace with who and what he was and it actually worked.
Actually - even if it did sound like it had been plucked from the laziest of spec threads - the idea of the Fleet populating prehistoric Earth was okay. Kind of clean.
Roslin died - finally.
Lee got to be an explorer - proving yet again that his first thoughts are always what he’ll do and what he can get out of it.
But Kara? The character I followed and adored and fell in and out of love with more times that I can count?
She’s an angel. In a polytheistic culture that has never known angels before. And she just knows it suddenly. Even when she didn’t before and her special destiny is spent and so, clearly, is she. Because she was never anything but a device to the Fleet and never whole and real and loved.
Fuck the Cylons. She was the dues ex machina of this story - in both the literal and figurative sense - and I just feel plain robbed.
I’m going to be childish, RDM, and ignore you and your pfwoofing of my Kara and imagine a time and a place where she is real and realised by those who love her.
And I know it’s sci-fi and I know technophobia is a staple of the genre - but did anyone else feel like they were being hit with the Obvious Stick™ in the last sequence? Give me a little fucking credit. Thankyou.
