Battlestar Galactica

No spoilers here (don't worry, those of you who are still watching).

I just would like to say that the end of Battlestar Galactica made me very angry. I spent the last hour or so wanting to punch people for the things I was seeing on the show. Ronald D. Moore and the other writers fail.

science fiction (sort of), television

Epic fail.

Beyond epic.

Elaborate under an lj cut, if you don't mind. I actually found the ending rather satisfying, and well done, although I know that puts me in the minority.

I will consider doing so later. I don't want to think about it in great detail and get all worked up again right now.

I started getting bored with it by the third season (or was it the second?). Whichever it was, I didn't watch through the end of that season, much less the end of the show. A friend of mine, who shares my general opinion about many things, hated the ending, too. So I haven't bothered to watch past the episode where Starbuck is fighting whats-her-face over the arrow.

Yeah.

I stopped watching right in the middle of that fight. I was all "Okay, I am very much enjoying watching the two hot chicks, but I am no longer interested in this show on any other level. Done!"

I thought it got less interesting in the middle, too, but I really wanted to finish. I'd like to say it was worth finishing, but the finale was just so bad. I really enjoyed season 4.5, but the last hour or so of the finale stomped all over that enjoyment for me.

So I guess you made the right call by stopping.

For real. As far as I'm concerned, the fight episode ended in a hot girl on girl make-out session, everybody threw a big party, and the Cylons figured out how to clone Apollo and send several versions of him to our universe.

Rawr.

That is a much better conclusion than what the writers came up with. My only revision would be to make sure to include Helo in the clone-and-send-copies-to-us effort.
