I was going to write my own review of the BSG finale but
ali_wildgoose did it better. FTR it's not a nice review because I lost any sort of faith in the show by The Farm and this review does reflect that!
But I do want to talk about something wrt the finale.
So while looking over TWOP I kept seeing people talk about how Lee finally is own person doing is own thing etc.
Well I can't argue that might be the intent. But I fount it as honestly unsatisfying as us learning Kara's only fear is not being remembered the same episode Lee tells her she won't be forgotten (which was the last episode of the series).
Basically, this is what Lee wanted: democracy, daddy's love, and Kara.
What he has is everyone spread about with primitive people (*SHUDDER OH DEAR LORD RDM WHY SO CREEPY*), daddy decides to live alone and never ever talk to Lee again, and Kara is dead.
SO HE GOT NOTHING THAT HE WANTED? AND WE'VE NEVER GOTTEN A HINT THAT ADVENTURING AND MOUNTAIN CLIMBING IS HIS THING? HIS END WAS HILARIOUSLY RANDOM FOR ME. I CAN'T BE BITTER BECAUSE IT'S THAT HILARIOUS. HE GETS NOTHING THAT HE WANTED BUT RDM TREATS IT LIKE HE'S ~FINALLY FREE~
oh this show.
