I finally got around to watching the ending of BSG (yes I am a slacker). I thought it was pretty good all around, and the whole part of finding pre-civilized new earth was a good homage to the final episode of the original series as well (where the crew just miss seeing signals from the moon landings). Of course, I also watched season 4.5 in the context of what was presented by the cast and crew
at the UN, so a lot of the show makes so much more sense to me (than before).
