Hmm...does that mean the romp was successful?

Myself, I was pleased with the finale's combination of the unexpected and the inevitable. Most of it didn't make any real-world sense, but it had an internal logic that felt right for where the series has gone.

Sadly, BSG lost any pretence to internal logic a whiles ago. The most specific instance was that Cavil and his gang had no idea howto resurrect the Resurrection Hub. WTF? They'd had a working one to study, let alone the RH itself having schematics and a user manual. The whole "Final 5" deal made no kind of sense

[roxybisquaint]

Yeah... WTF Cavil?! They brought him back into the story when they brought back Ellen and in the end he was about as useful as the final 5. Augh. The final 5 ended up being complete nonsense, serving no real purpose to the story. Oh God, and I just remembered the whole thing with All Along the Watchtower and Kara getting everyone to the lovely new!Earth by converting the musical notes to coordinates or whatever *headdesk*

It made no sense that there was no group of survivors who wanted to cannibalize the ships of the fleet to make a good one and frak off and do their own thing. That's BS.SERIOUSLY. That was the lamest of lame that everyone just said "yeah it'll be awesome to have a fresh start, go ahead and scrap everything." That was stupid to the core. I don't care how badly you want a fresh start, you do not just throw all that away and start digging in the dirt

I can see what you mean about the John retcon but let me help you out on seeing that it wasn't a retcon after all, admittedly they'd been rather subtle about the clues - which is why I think the writing is so great on TSCC. I refer you to one of my previous comments re I couldn't understand how John didn't pick up on the "apples and carrots" thing. Well, in fact he did, as he specifically mentioned it this ep. Also, the confrontation he had with Riley in "Ourselves Alone" makes perfect sense if he was sure about Riley. He confronted her but she had to admit to him what was going on without being forced to a confession. Before John could trust Riley he had to know she had made the choice to throw in with him - and his resistance faction - and not Jesse and her faction. He desperately wanted to say to Riley: "I know who you are and what you're doing but with come with me instead" but he couldn't if he was to be John Connor and not John Baum. Now does his conversation with Derek make more sense? It's really why he cried at the

No faith...

First hour of BSG: Pure win.
Second hour: ... WHAT THE FRAK!?

Sorry guys, I still say it was clear after season 2 that nobody had a plan, especially not Ron Moore or David Eick.

Unbelievably bad ending to a show that, to be honest, became lackluster quite a while back.

Re: No faith...

[roxybisquaint]

I agree. That first hour I thought we were actually going somewhere, but... Angels? Leaving all their things behind to start over with a simple farming life? Sorry, but no no no. The problem with BSG, I think, is that it got way too self-important. What started out as really cool sci-fi with interesting themes (humanity and civilization and war), got so caught up in the themes themselves that it forgot how to tell the frakking story.

[barachiel]

This was such a sad way to end the show. The first hour was so good ,and the last so sad. Ironic how the show itself became a tragedy and not the story of the show.

[roxybisquaint]

I was still hoping to be surprised by something awesome, but I honestly didn't expect much better than what we got. The show was clearly wandering for the past year or so and I think I'm just glad it's over.
