How I felt about the Battlestar Galactica finale, a summary.
(1) I really did love how they explained the final five. It was satisfying, which is why I had higher expectations for the finale.
(2) I thought the resolutions for individual characters was great.
(3) I was on the edge of my seat for everything up to the last ~10 min.
(4) After that it was an overall feeling of violation & betrayal. For lack of better writting:
(a) "God" was the unknown force behind Head Six, Head Baltar, & resurrected Starbuck.
(b) Apparently technology and science is the root cause of all evil. People don't kill people, evil technology & science possesses us to kill people.
(c) We should all be afraid of little robots, which are the harbingers of the oncoming apocalypse. Silly me, I thought this show was a metaphor for the current politics, how humans react to conflict, fear, terrorism, occupation by a foreign force. How as humans we can so easily de-humanize the other side to justify acts of violence. Apparently I was wrong, it's all about how we should be afraid the little dancing robots.
