bsg wrap-up

[jessebeller]

i was a two weeks behind on my battlestar gallactica, but i caught up to the end over the past two evenings, and i have to say, i'm not terribly happy with the finale. the two biggest pieces were thud and blunder space battle on the one hand and farewell to all your favorite characters on the other. way too many loose ends were left untied, and they avoided drawing even the most basic moral lessons from the entire saga. at bottom, it came down to little more than "people sure do like to make robots, huh?" which i, for one, found profoundly disappointing in light of so many of the themes the series toyed with on so very many occaisions.

i bet i coulda written a better finale.
