BSG final... (or isn't it?)
I was dissapointed with the final of BSG. The writers clearly had big issues with letting this series go on for another season.
-SPOILER ALERT -
The main thing is that the whole concept of the cylon - human war, the so-called cycle was first forced to go on, then they tried to break it. With the 'angels' guiding them towards it. Too many religious references for one show if you ask me. The pigeon, the three holy spirit-like figures (Starbuck, Caprica 6 and Baltar), it's all a nice trick to hide the fact that this series has no real ending.
Despite the nice special effects, the build-up towards this final was too long, too big and too complex to be even enjoyable.
One nice thing was the Chief going nuts about finally fining out how his wife Kelly really got killed; a very good plot twist, well done. This triggered what normally should have been the end of it all.
Still, I never imagined this series ending in a green field of gras on earth, the series began dark and wildly realistic but ended like usually in Hollywood: green gras, the heroes walking away to the sun.
They should have stopped somwhere mid season 2 to 3
