I just watched the BSG finale.
I'm still processing.
I did like it. a lot.
it was brilliant.
it answered most of my questions and in many ways, it was what I expected, but not exactly.
I kinda hoped or expected that they'd find a new planet and call it Earth.
I'm not exactly sure about the epilogue, it wasn't bad but I could've lived without it.
there was so much going on, it made me laugh and cry and scream in horror and pain and surprise.
I cried quite a lot.on so many deaths it's hard to remember.
I was rather surprised when it came to Starbuck. I thought she'd stay. I felt she'd earned that, to live her life, to try and be happy.
I must say, I was rather disappointed
I that we barely saw Leoben this last few eps, he's my favourite cylon
Now it's over and living in a bsg-less world sucks.
it leaves me feeling a bit...empty.make me think "where do we go from here?"
similar feelings as I've had after the x files,buffy and the west wing finale.
and while it was quite tragic it didn't leave complete heartbroken and hating Ron D Moore which is a plus in my book- only RTD should do that.
more in a few days, when I've thought about it, watched it again and all that
ETA:
a few extra thoughts-
The flashbacks were good, thought I could've lived with less nightclub scenes and without Adama puking in an alley. It wasn't til almost the last one that it all made sense. why they were showing them and how they were connected.
the angel versions of Six and Gaius at the end reminded me of Aziraphale and Crowley, anyone else thought that?
I've got the all along the watchtower melody stuck in my head now and I'm tapping it everywhere like I did after the dw s3 finale with the Master's melody. it will be forever linked to BSG now.
