End of an Era
Well that’s it for Battlestar Galactica. I liked the finale overall but I have a lot of problems with it, here are my random thoughts about those problems that I sent in an e-mail to my wife just now (she liked it more than me):
- opera house meaning hardly important, hera was walking into CIC anyways
- why was the opera house teased at use for 4 seasons?
- no idea what starbuck is (an angel?)
- Head Baltar and Head Six are also what, angels?
- “god did it” is a terrible explanation for all the questions left unanswered in the series
- convinced 38,000 to just give up everything
- fact that they did give up everything, all those raw materials
- anders didn’t get a choice to fly into the sun and die or not
- adama had to leave for some reason?
- everybody decided to settle way apart from each other
- robot montage/current day footage way too heavy handed
I liked it a lot on a macro level, stuff was wrapped up, but when you look down on a micro level at the various events it falls apart for me. Sure stuff wraps up but I don’t like the explanations for how they got wrapped up.
Ah well, at least Baltar gets to be a Farmer now
You’re being overly critical I think – you need to remember it’s just a TV show and it was entertaining and actually way smarter than most! Oooooh Evan
@Melisa
that is very true, even the worst episode of B-Star is better than almost any other show on TV.
And nobody cares about “we noticed the jump spot by watching base-stars jump in and out… WHERE DID THOSE BASE STARS GO? There are at least 2 bad base stars still… Are they going to show up and nuke New York? Best ending would have been to cut the whole robot thing and just had a Quantum Leaper walking down the street with a Simon and Spacey Bot.
