was just so heartbroken for (particularly) Adama, who went through all of that and couldn't enjoy it with the love of his life.
Adama and Roslyn finally 'hooked up' after they discovered the nuked Earth, which was more than I thought would happen. Their devotion to duty repeatedly made that an impossibility. The fact that she had terminal cancer made her death inevitable, and on top of that, I'm not a believer in the "love is all you need" concept. (IE: you need hobbies, a social life outside your significant other.. basically all the things that make you a human being outside the person you love so that you don't implode.)
So.. didn't feel very sorry for him. I was angry at him for choosing a dead woman over his own son and best friend.
There WAS life on the planet, so I just assumed those survivors who spread out integrated with them.
Was there life only on the African continent, or was that tribe simply the most advanced? Regardless, there's some disturbing clues as to how things actually panned out.
The show ends with the concept of an "eve," of how researchers had dug up our ONE common ancestor. This is hera, the cylon-human child. She is the common descendant of us all. Implies that any other breedings or "lines" on the planet died out, and only hera's children rose up to build civilizations.
The hybrids aboard the Cylon ships repeatedly talk about evolution of species and the "end of line." Kera Thrace was quoted as being "the harbinger of death;" that she "will bring them all to their end." On at least 3 occasions. Hybrid Anders speaks to Galen and essentially says that he can't accept what's coming: "end of line."
Angel six repeatedly says that "this is humanity's final chapter." Presumably a cylon-human hybrid can't properly called "human," nor its children.
That points to cultural suicide. The choice of abandoning each other and technology meant they all died out, with one exception: Hera. This was "God's plan" all along, and why hera was so important.
I could have accepted it if the entire fleet had died defending hera. That would have been touching, honorable even. Instead, they walked off a cliff with a smile on their faces. I can't accept this as a "good" ending.

I see the stuff you're indicating, but I think it is a stretch to believe that all humanity died off except for Hera.
Then again, I keep trying to stick to my guns that Starbuck was the daughter of the Permaboxed 7, Daniel. All the signs are there.
