The end of Battlestar Galactica

[lettered]

First, thanks so much for y'all's help on my Dreamwidth questions.

I just finished watching the final ep of Battlestar Galactica, and was wondering what you all thought of it (of the ep, the show itself, and especially the last chunk that most recently aired, AKA the second half of season 4, AKA the last 10 eps). I'd love to hear your random thoughts and/or be linked to your reactions.

I'll be rooting among your journals myself, so if you're suddenly getting comments on older BSG posts, this is why!

I have Thoughts I Have Thinked, but I don't even know where to begin, so mostly I'm just sitting back a bit.

Daughter L. and I called the ending at the end of season 3; it's a plot twist well recycled from 1950s sci-fi. (Doesn't make it bad ... it was just a bit of a letdown.) I was disappointed at the many untied threads, such as precisely *why* the Cylon doctor took part of Kara's ovary, and why there was no follow-up/accountability for the women being used as "axolotl tanks" (sorry, Dune reference) for the Cylons in their attempts to breed. Dee's suicide made NO sense to me whatever. I don't understand why they skipped a year in between Lee Adama taking over the Pegasus and the settlement of New Caprica, filled in only by a few flashbacks. And why did Sam have to die? Couldn't he have gone with the other Cylons?

So Kara was basically a "ghost" or "angel" or some kind of "ascended being" from the time she crashed her Viper?

Did you also get the feeling that the piano player was the same? (He was cute ... wish we would have seen more of him.)

There's more but I can't think of it right now ... it's a show that kind of drained out of my mind after it was over; I just stopped thinking about it.
