Quoted:
I think the perfect series finale would have been the season 4.0 last episode, Revelations From wiki: In the final scene of the episode, the Fleet jubilantly arrives at Earth. Adama announces to the Fleet that their journey is finally over. A party of humans and Cylons travels down to the surface, but are speechless when they arrive in the radioactive ruins of a developed city. In fact this is how the series now ends, in my mind. Like the three Star Wars prequels, season 4.5 simply doesn't exist for me  Yeah that really would have been the better ending point. The entire second half of that season sucked and added nohting. |

I tried to watch it, so much drama...endless unnecessary drama; and Starbuck, the drama queen, I despised that character even more than the drama king Baltar.

Quoted:
I liked the ending. The characters realized that the cycles of history and future history are deterministic because of human nature, and did the only thing they could think of to break the cycle. Nevertheless, tens of thousands of years later, the new human race is on the verge of making the same mistakes. There's no telling whether the earth they settled on was the second earth or the fiftieth. Life perpetuating itself and unwinding like a fractal. This seems fits well with the real cosmology of the universe, which probably operates in cycles of boom and crunch. I should add I just finished watching the show for the first time about a week ago. Did you like the final scene, on our Earth, with the dancing Asimo robot and the Japanese fembot? I couldn't believe I was actually watching my formerly beloved series ending in such a weak manner. |

I didn't think the ending was THAT bad. I kinda guessed that we were the decendants of Human-cylon hybrids mid-way into season 3.
It was too obvious. Also, I saw Ronald Moore at a SCI-fi convention here on Long Island and when asked about Starbuck he said leaving her character unanswered and vague was intentional. He wanted the audience to keep guessing what it was all about. (I also got to ask him about Klingons and their culture. Kapla!) I suppose people don't realise that the "story arc" of BSG was supposed to be only 3 seasons long but when SCI-FI channel realized it was a popular hit they wanted to stretch to show to 5 seasons so that caused problems because now they had to add a whole lotta crap that was not in the original story. By the last season they were really getting lame. |

The 13th Colony would not have been as advanced as the other 12, which were more closely together in trade and eventually united with a population many times greater than our single colony.

what took me a while to grasp was that the skin-job cylons basically were clone-descendants of the 13th colony and that there was basically no difference (other than slight genetic variations from developing separately for 5000 years) between them and 12 colony humans. imo, they shouldnt even have been called 'cylons'

Win. I enjoyed the BSG ending. I wanted to shoot Tony Soprano in the head myself just for SOME feeling of closure. |

I could have done without the entire Galactica travels to an Cro-magnon populated Earth.
I liked the very end of the episode where they show NYC and all the advances in robotics showing the dangers of mankind letting our technology run us. Very ominous. Favorite character was Baltar, Ive never seen a more neurotic character on tv. The fifth Cylon should have been Zack Adama IMO And Atleast it ended better than LOST. |

How do you figure that? The 12 Colonies seemed rather stagnant. They inherited advanced tech and used it regularly, but didn't seem to do that much with it nor have a need to. Their medical technology was in the dark ages compared to most of the rest of their tech, and they really didn't have much major conflict prior to the first Cylon War aside from bringing the occasional irascible colony to heel, and had a single overarching government that seemed to keep potential for conflict well under control. They weren't facing a constant outpouring of minds and money into an everlasting struggle of powerful near-peers to one-up each other and gain superiority like here. It's telling that their truly rapid advances in technology occurred in the short period of time after the first Cylon War when they were finally facing a situation akin to that we deal with every day. It's not inconceivable at all that the 13th Colony under our circumstances would develop at a faster rate than the other 12 under theirs. Remember we didn't really advance all that quickly until thrown into the cauldron of a pair of world wars with the threat of a third constantly hanging over our heads combined with American profit-motive hypercapitalism applying the same fast-paced high dollar struggle to one-up the competition to the marketplace. We went from horse-drawn carts and cannons to nuclear weapons, superfighters, and space travel in less than a century, and that was no inevitability or coincidence; there were plenty of periods akin to the 12 Colonies' state of being in our history and what you got was hundreds of years of very gradual advancement. I would say the 12 Colonies were more like what modern tech would look like with a relatively peaceful united Europe running the Earth and advancing very gradually and asymmetrically, and no emergence of the British Empire or the United States. |

I hated that they fought and ran for years trying to stay alive only to end up doing to themselves what the cylons failed to do, kill off their culture/history/selves
I have a feeling most of the colonials would have died within 1 year once they settled on earth with next to nothing and their culture would have been compeltely gone within 2-3 generations as they either would have died out completely or ended up having a few survivors here and there living with the natives assuming they found human tribes that didn't kill them on sight |

Quoted: IMDB.Quoted: Quoted: They had some truly outstanding casting for that show. I'd have married just about any woman on there. Grace Park is just about the perfect specimen of oriental human, whoever played 6 is obviously a model, Starbuck, especially when she had short hair, is an equally perfect, drive me nuts specimen of the tomboy, and so on and so forth Ah 6 was a Playboy Playmate. Ahem. |

Endings are hard. That had to wrap it up somehow. Actually, I think they did a decent job.

The Cylon's behavior was goofy. If you can program a sleeper agent to flawlessly mock a human, why can't you program the reactivation sequence to avoid feelings of love for humans?
Many characters acted out of character too many times, after the first season it was clear they had no clue as to where they were going or how to wrap it up. I would have had a hot chick named "Buffy the Cylon Killer" taking down the entire SkyNet/Cylon/Borg base ship with some of her teenage pals and a dadgum X-wing fighter. That would have made as much sense as 90% of the last season. |

I think the perfect series finale would have been the season 4.0 last episode, Revelations From wiki: In the final scene of the episode, the Fleet jubilantly arrives at Earth. Adama announces to the Fleet that their journey is finally over. A party of humans and Cylons travels down to the surface, but are speechless when they arrive in the radioactive ruins of a developed city. In fact this is how the series now ends, in my mind. Like the three Star Wars prequels, season 4.5 simply doesn't exist for me IIRC, the series almost ended with that episode because of the writer's strike. RM told a really funny story about how the production cast & crew thought they were all getting laid off when that happened. |

And she had a modeling career for years before that. And I finally agree with Dave_A about something: most of the main female characters on BSG were pretty hot. My favorites were Cally and "Racetrack". |

The north african gal who married and then divorced apollo was really good looking too. Grace Park was the 8/boomer/athena, and I think she's the very definition of a human being who rates a "10." Caprica/6 is too. |

Racetrack (AKA Leah Cairns) was the fighter pilot who dethroned Starbuck as top-dog but then eventually killed herself (by going on those suicide missions with high levels of radiation) because she had apparently stolen someone's identity after the first Cylon attacks in order to get a fresh start on life and Starbuck was basically threatening to expose her. |
