Now that's the way to end a series - with some frakking incredible storytelling. Ron Moore said he was stressing over how to write the ending to BSG, getting all caught up in the plot, and it wasn't working. Then he had an epiphany: 'It's the characters, stupid.'
(
Frak yeah )
I get the starting over thing now, but boy, you should have seen some BSG freak the hell out over this.
Even with the "doesn't like to be called God" line, it still annoys me, because it does buy into that neo-Platonic "whatever it is, there can be only one" thing.
I know! If the message is that we have to incorporate multiple ways of being to make the best hope for the future (Hera as mitochondrial Eve), why wasn't that social as well as genetic? Why the push for monotheism? Argh.
all the purely human lead women were gone by the end, which didn't exactly help the overall sense of misogynistic undertones
Yes, I want to know why there couldn't have been one viable male Cylon/female human storyline in the entire series. Kara/Leoben doesn't count (much as a part of me wishes it did) - he was too messed up.
Really, all the male Cylons were very negative. Maybe it was sexism from the other side? Or is it still a crack at women - only female Cylons won't be 'tough killing machines'?
