DPP: Daybreak

[winegums]

Today, March 20th, marks exactly three years since the airdate of Daybreak, Part 2, which ended both BSG and pilots canon story by leaving Shipper Nation in absolute ruin, devastation and disappointment.

You know, I actually agree with a lot of what you said, - of course sunlight, fresh air and soil are probably going to seem entirely worth it to people who've spent years and years in metal boxes with no hope that they'll ever make it out. I can live with most of the finale, to be honest - when I first watched it Daybreak really did seem like a fittingly epic, emotional end to the show, and I'm another one of those who hangs on to Kara's "see you on the other side" in Maelstrom with a complete death grip because the poof CANNOT be the absolute end for both of them. Even canon implies it's not necessarily the end when she dies, and nothing can shake my belief in that.

My rage over the poof is mostly for Kara, to be honest - I hate, hate, HATE the message that she was basically secondary to her "task" all along and didn't even have the right to exist when she finished it, because she's been dead all along (and so she had to die to get to carry out the task in the first place? Which means that there's no way our girl can live at all?) and I really resented the way she got turned into some mystical figurehead in the end.

And then, of course, there are is the Epilogue of Dancing Robots. Which just makes me want to start laughing hysterically because it is so much crack, and not even in the good way.
