I want a series, mini-series, or movie about the events that took place on Kobol.

Great series and a very good ending. I especially liked the twist that we were watching our past; not our future.

There were some things I would have liked to see different. Number one was Kara Thrace. "I don't know what I am or where I came from but my job here is done and now I must dissappear." Cop-out pure and simple. I think the way her "true" identity continued to be questioned and manipulated throughout the entire series that we deserved a more clearcut answer that that.

Number 2 would be Adama's last scene. He was a warrior, a man of action. I expected him to be broken up over Roselyn's death, but not determined to sit on his butt on the edge of a cliff and think happy thoughts the rest of his life. His relationship with Col. Tighe should have been something to bring him back (not to mention his son).

Still one of the best (if not the best) tv series I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Thanks everyone for a great ride.

Anyone else looking forward to The Plan?

Silock · 03-23-2009, 02:42 AM

Shit. Blew. Up.

I feel like that was an orgasm a long time coming.

And yeah, Starbuck's shit was really lame, but the rest was awesome. I'm happy.

I just want to know what's happened to the Centurions after 150,000 years.

I liked the Starbuck ending. It made sense, IMO. But I did not like the Adama thing - after they had piled on the bond between him and Tigh for so long, they should have at least had a goodbye scene between the two of them. And I also agree, it was kind of dumb for him to abandon Lee.

Mostly satisfying, but....

The DVD version of the finale is 15-20 minutes longer than what aired, fwiw.

Sweet, we'll hopefully get the Tigh-Adama last goodbye.

And hopefully they explain something with DeAnna, since she didn't have an ending.

I don't think she's appeared in any of the episodes that have aired this year. My guess is that Lucy simply wasn't under contract for whatever reason.

DeAnna's ending was implied. She remained on the blasted "Earth", much like the original Athena did on Kobol.

Hmm, I must have missed that. I thought she was just hanging out on the base ship.

I liked Starbuck's exit too ... a bit Christ-like. I'd read that Ron Moore was a big fan of how the Sopranos ended so I was a bit worried, but Starbuck's "resurrection" and then "ascension" works for me.

Overall I give it an A-. That all of them (human and skinjob) would decide to scrap their technology (much less give the centurions the base ship and bid them farewell) just isn't that believable. If nothing else, either Baltar's cult or the imprisoned mutineers could've taken a few ships and set off on a pilgrimage either to Kobol or back to the colonies. That way what's happened before really could happen again.

And there wasn't any discussion of it. Lee suggested it and they did it.

Only part I didn't like.

My favorite part was where they went with Baltar. As much as I'm against the idea of redemption.

Frazod · 03-23-2009, 06:53 PM

I'd give it a solid B.
